Happy Birthday Catalogue CASE

There is certainly no shortage of inspiration in our catalogues. They are filled with inspiring projects that are a great starting point for any crafting.

This card was CASE’d (copy and selectively edit) from the Big Hugs card on page 61 in the Annual Catalogue. It is not exactly the same, but I used the elements I liked and that worked for this card, and changed a few things to make it mine. The Stamparatus is the perfect tool to get my sentiment rows lined up and evenly spaced.

The Details . . .

My card base is Starry Sky, one of the new In Colours, and I love it! My sentiment is from Biggest Wish, stamped with Starry Sky ink on Fresh Freesia and Basic White cardstock. My little bird is stamped with Fresh Freesia ink, and is from the Heron Habitat stamp set, another fav! The Designer Series Paper is Butterfly Kisses. I embellished the card with some Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and a Fun Flowers Resin Shape in Fresh Freesia as well.

The second card uses many of the same products, but I changed the layout slightly, putting my sentiment strip and Designer Series Paper on angles. This DSP is from the Design A Daydream pack, an extra big host reward package of DSP. I used my Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blend to add a little more colour to the bird. The ribbon on this card is the wonderful Natural Finish Ribbon, and I added some Matte Black Dots to finish off the card.

If you even think your creative juices are not there, just open the catalogue. It is filled with inspiring projects.
