Sep 10, 2018 | 3-D, Boxes, CASE The Catalog, Halloween |
Time for CASE the catalog with some Halloween fun projects.
We are casing from the Holiday Catalog. It’s almost time for Halloween so fresh and exciting projects are coming your way. These Halloween treat holders are cased from page 48 and 51 of the Holiday Catalog. Details are listed below to re-create these treat holders.

TIme for the Halloween Fun Projects Recipe
The orange treat box was created using Takeout Box Thinlits and the Big Shot. Also, images are from the Takeout Treats Stamp Set. Cardstock choices are Whisper White & Grapefruit Grove, and the Country Lane Designer Series Paper. Stamp images all around on the box in Calypso Coral so they give it character and the sentiment is stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink. Add White Baker’s Twine also around the box and attach sentiment tag using SNAIL adhesive.
The second project uses the Cauldron Framelit Dies for the stars. The Tiny Treat Boxes are on page 193 of the annual catalog. Cauldron Bubble sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White cardstock. While the circle below the sentiement was done using the 1 ½” Circle Punch and Toil & Trouble DSP, the Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon is layered in between the two and wrapped around the box. Various adhesives were also used due to having different needs. Stampin’ Dimensionals were also used to raise the sentiments off the box. Finally, Liquid Glue was used for adhering the ribbon and small stars cut out from the Cauldron Framelits Dies in Crushed Curry cardstock. Furthermore, the new Take Your Pick tool will probably make is much easier to pick up the stars.

Aug 13, 2018 | 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, Cards, CASE The Catalog, Uncategorized |
Happy Monday! You have probably seen the Garden Impressions Suite in the catalog. So enjoy this week’s CASE the Catalog sample because it’s a variation of a card on page 128 in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.

First of all, the card in the catalog uses Soft Seafoam Cardstock as the base. I also used a layer of Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Abstract Impressions stamp set to create the second layer. Because I used the same card design, I changed up the card base to Night of Navy cardstock and because I didn’t stamp the second layer, I decided to use coordinating designs from the Garden Impressions DSP for the two layers below the layer with the sentiment.
Garden Impressions Suite Stamp Set

Due to the DSP having lots of wonderful colors, it certainly makes it great to use for a variety of card designs. Night of Navy ink was used to stamp the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. Furthermore, it was cut with the next to the largest Stitched Shapes Framelits. Similarly, Mini Gold Sequin Trim and Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine was also added as an embellishment before attaching the sentiment with stampin’ dimensionals.

Below are measurements used for creating the card base design:
Base: cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
Designer Series Paper: first layer 4 1/4″ x 4 1/2″; second layer: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
Finally, when you are struggling to come up with a card design, remember to look through the catalog for ideas. It’s okay to use the catalog designs and is encouraged. Above all, I want to convey how easy it is to take a design from the catalog. Because when you change up the paper or colors, you probably have a totally different look with the same layout.
