Cool Treats Birthday Card

It's been a while since I have posted a project, so I thought I would pop in & share something I made today.   I was admiring my daughter's doona cover while it was drying on the line & thought....hmm this looks a lot like the Cool Treats stamp set!

I went inside, pulled out my stamps & coordinating framelits & whipped up this quick card in no time.

Here is the doona cover by Adairs.  I don't think they sell it anymore, but we really love the fun prints in their kids linen.

This doona cover is perfect for my daughter as she loves the soft colours & of course, she loves ice cream! 

Here is my card - I tried to make it like the pillow case.

CTC 110 Stampin' Up! Balloon Adventures Card

Happy New Year & welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  Today we are exploring & CASEing the new Occasions Catalogue pages 4-7.  I haven't stamped in ages as the holidays have been purely holidays.  I don't know about you, but when I don't regularly stamp I lose my mojo.  I just don't know where to start & nothing seems to go right.

I got out my new goodies with all these ideas in my head.  Well, I am here to tell you NONE of them worked!   Then I came back the next day & cased a card on page 6 for this blog hop.  I have to say having the catalogue to case, makes creating so much easier, particularly if you are like me & struggle after a bit of a break. 

I chose to case the last card in this picture from page 6 of the Occasions 2017 Catalogue.

I am finding the Party Animal Suite particularly challenging to use at the moment.  I think it's the colours that I am struggling with, so I made myself use it for this card! 

Balloon Adventures CTC110 Front

I do have the Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits dies, but what I really like about this set is you can use your Balloon punch for the Balloons.  The other cool thing with this suite is the Party Animal washi tape.  There are 5 different patterns & the best part is they are all different sizes.  I really like the really skinny Tangerine Tango one so I added it to the front of my card for a bit of extra oomph.

Balloon Adventures CTC110 Inside

Inside the card, I added a bit of leftover Party Animal DSP & more washi from this suite.  

So there you go, this is officially my first card of the year & it seems to sum up my excitement for this year.  Here's to another year full of CTC blog hop Adventures! 

Do you ever get crafters block? 

Next, you are off to Rachel at Stampin' Pals to continue the hop.  I am a bit excited to see what she has created arent you?
