Hi Everyone,
This week we are CASEing the Catalogue and I have chosen to use the Spruced Up Bundle in the July-December Mini Catalogue (page 13). I love this set and I think the parcel stamp and the die cuts will be useful all year - great for birthdays too. I've changed up the colours but otherwise it is a straight Copy & Share Everywhere (CASE).
Materials
1 piece of parakeet party card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", scrap for parcel
Scraps of distressed gold foil, white, sweet sorbet and orchid oasis for die cuts and sentiment
1 piece of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
1 piece of Splendid Day dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"
Scraps of 2022-2024 In Colour DSP Stack for the parcels
Small piece of In Colour Bakers Twine (sweet sorbet)
Starry Sky ink
Adhesive Backed Sequins & Gems
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Spruced Up Bundle
Starlit Punch
Paper snips
Multipurpose adhesive
Trimmer
Bone Folder
Mini Glue Dots
Instructions
On the long side score the parakeet party card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.
Adhere the dsp layer to the card front.
Stamp a tree on a scrap of white card.
Die cut strings of lightbulbs in distressed gold (I did 8), die cut three parcels and the tree. Cut small squares of dsp to stick on the underside of the parcels and trim around them with paper snips.
Dry fit the die cut elements on the card front to see where you want everything and then adhere the strings of lights at a diagonal across the card front. Add the tree and the parcels as shown in the picture. Punch out a star with the Starlit Punch and add to the top of the tree.
Stamp the word on a scrap of white and trim around it, add dimensionals to the back.
Make a bow with the twin and add underneath where the word is going and adhere with a glue dot, add the word over the top as shown.
Stamp Christmas on the remaining basic white and add the leftover string of lights and then adhere to the inside of the card and you are almost finished. Just sprinkle some sequins to finish off.
