It’s the 4th of the month, so it’s another Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. This month’s challenge, set by Julia, is to CASE the new September – December Mini Catalogue that goes live today! To CASE is to “Copy And Selectively Edit” a design, giving credit to the original source.
I chose to CASE this image from page 23:
I’m going to be very honest here…the only product I have ordered from this suite is the Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder. But one reason for this is that I have the Frosted Forest Bundle, which has very similar evergreen tree images and dies. I decided to use this as an opportunity to show you how to adapt a design to materials you already have in your stash.
I swapped Oxidized Copper Specialty DSP for the Season Of Elegance DSP on the sample card. This changed my colour palette from complementary (Old Olive and Cherry Cherry Cobbler are opposite from each other on the colour wheel) to analogous, as Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock are all in the yellow-green/green section of the colour wheel.
And since I don’t have the Peaceful Season Bundle to get the die cut “Christmas” and stamped “is in the air,” I decided to stamp and emboss sentiments from More Wishes.
I hope you will hop around and see what others have done to CASE the new Mini Catalogue!
I used a few retired products on this card, notably the Lost Lagoon Bordered Ribbon, and the Brushed Metallic Dots. In the supply list below I’ve included current items that would work with the other products I used in my version. Everything listed can be purchased in my Online Store.
Available starting today: Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder, Item #164023
Thanks for encouraging us to use what we have Nancy! Lovely card.
What a gorgeous colour palette you have used!!! These were not on my wish list…
Loving the xmas trees – this is what xmas is to me, lots of trees!
Very clever adaptation – love how creative your card is!
Great CASE and such a good idea to use products that you have sitting in your stash!
