Stampin’ Up! – CTC Blog Hop – Sale-A-Bration

Hi All

Hello and welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.

This week we are taking our inspiration from the Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalogue.

Whether you’re joining the Hop here, or if you’ve hopped on over from Simone – a BIG hello!

Remember to click on through this week’s CTC crew to see plenty of inspirational projects that the crew have created for you – there’s a full list on the CTC blog page if you get lost along the way.

My schedule has only allowed me to participate in the Hops every fortnight lately – so it’s Sale-A-Bration for me again! Just as well there is such a wide range of products to choose from! If you’d like to view all the FREE items you can choose from during Sale-A-Bration – check out the original SAB catalogue HERE (pdf) and the new items released in mid February HERE (pdf).

Last Hop I used one of the Limited Time stamp sets released last month – the cute Pedal Pusher which is not shown in the image below.

For this Hop I’m featuring the other two new SAB products – the Metallics Glitter Tape and the Party Pants stamp set which you can see on the right-hand side of the page below.

I’m CASEing the card in the bottom left hand corner.

I also wanted to showcase the 2014 – 2016 In Colors as they will be retiring soon and will no longer be available. I know I’m going to miss several of these colours – Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss and Lost Lagoon have been favourites of mine.

I made my stripped background by sticking the Silver Metallics Glitter Tape onto a card-base made from Kraft cardstock. The balloons are punch out of the five 2014-2016 In Colors using the Balloon Bouquet Punch and I used the 2014-2016 In Colors Stampin’ Write markers to draw the strings. There is a stamp for the string included in the set, but for this card I wanted the strings to fall differently than the stamp so simply drew the strings.

Each balloon has some stamping on it – either one of the sentiments from the Party Pants stamp set or one of the other images. Love how the stamp of the balloon tassel makes a cute pattern on the balloons too! I did all the stamping with the Classic Ink pads in the 2014-2016 In Colors

I carried these balloons through to the inside of my card too!

I do hope you’ve enjoyed my project for this week’s CTC Blog Hop.

And remember – CASEing the Catty is running a monthly challenge – so you can play along too!

Until next time
