CTC #24 - Let's Celebrate Easter

Hi there and welcome back to CASE-ing the Catty Challenges

As it's only one week until Good Friday we are looking at the Easter section of the Occasions Catalogue (page 34 and 35) for our challenge inspiration this week.

  • You can directly CASE a project (Copy and Share Everything) or use a sketch/layout, colour combo, embellishment, just to name a few examples, as a springboard for your own creations. 
  • Or simply use some new Stampin' Up! Easter supplies from the Occasions Catalogue.

CTC 24 will run for two weeks over the holiday period and the linky will be open until Thursday 9th April. We really hope you can join us in the gallery and showcase your Easter projects.


 
Here's what the Design Team made to inspire you to play along with our latest challenge-

Top CASE for CTC 23

Hi there.  We're back to celebrate our Top CASE for CTC 23.  The challenge involved using a combination of products from the SAB and Occasions Catalogues.

Congratulations to Kelly Davies -
 
 
Kelly used the new Alphanumeric Mold from the Occasions Catty and a sentiment from the SAB stamp set, A Happy Thing. The DT loved her wash of blue watercolour for the background.

CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #23 - It's an Occasion to SALE-A-BRATE

We have a fun challenge this week and it will be the last one for the 2015 SAB Catty. At the end of March we will say a fond farewell to all the SALE-A-BRATION freebies and enjoy only two more months of the Occasions Catalogue, before a brand new annual catalogue is released in June.

We are also saying a fond farewell to a couple of our DT members, Hayley Kew and Sharnee Torrents. Life gets a bit busy at times and seasons in our life come and go.  Thanks so much ladies for your amazing contributions over the last few months.  On a brighter note, CTC are hosting some Guest Designers over the next few weeks and tonight we are welcoming Julia Quinn for our 23rd challenge!

So on with this week's challenge - Use a combination of SALE-A-BRATION and Occasions stamps and accessories on your project.

Here's what the Design Team came up with to inspire you to play along -

CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #22 - A Sketch from the SALE-A-BRATION Catalogue

Hi and welcome back to another challenge at CASE-ing the Catty.  This week we have got an awesome sketch for you which has been CASED from page 17 of the SALE-A-BRATION Catalogue (Link on the side bar). 

The card features a sentiment from the SAB Simply Wonderful Stamp Set and a gorgeous yellow butterfly from the Butterflies Thinlits Dies.  However, for our challenge this week you can use any SU products you like and the butterfly and oval can be substituted with other shapes, just as long as we can see that you have stuck to the general layout of the card.

Top CASE for CTC 21

It's that time of the week where we thank those lovely entrants for joining in with our Occasions Inspiration 'Everyday' Challenge and to showcase the winner.  The Everyday chapter of the 'mini' is certainly my favourite section of the catalogue and is jam packed with amazing ideas.

This week our Top CASE goes to -
 
 
Can you spot the beautiful card on page 20 of the catty that inspired Julie to make this little beauty?  The DT loved her take on the card and the lovely new goodies that she used to create such an 'arty' project.  Thanks so much for joining in.
 
Congratulations, Julia, here's a badge for your blog -
 
 
We'll be back again tonight at 7:00pm (AEST) for our next challenge.
