ADDINKTIVE DESIGNS

I love CASE-ing the Catty and I absolutely love my Gift Box Punch Board.  For this challenge we are being inspired by all the beautiful gift boxes and bags that are featured in the Holiday Catalogue . CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #12   Page 6 has some great sample projects - I CASED  a cute box and just changed it a little.  I really liked the wrapped twine around the punched Christmas Tree Tag -     Take some time out, browse through the catty and join us for this fortnight's challenge.  We'd love to see what festive packaging you will CASE!   Under The Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper $21.95 Gift Box Punch Board $31.95 All Is Calm Specialty Designer Series Paper $21.95 Festival Of Trees Photopolymer Bundle $48.95 Real Red 3/8" Satin Woven Ribbon $11.95 Wild Wasabi A4 Card Stock $11.95 Linen Thread $7.95 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon $13.95 B...

Oh look what we made at Stamp Class last night!  Yes ... it's CASED from the Catty, page 14 to be precise.  I had not taken much notice of these Tag a Bag Gift Boxes until 3 designers from CTC Challenges made their own version of the catalogue project for our very first challenge. Needless to say, I just had to buy a couple of packets of these gift boxes for our ladies to 'test drive' at class.  It was a great project, especially for beginners and everyone enjoyed the evening.  They also went home with a scrap page courtesy of De Arn and a card from the Hip, Hip Hooray Card Kit .       I'm already looking forward to the next stamp class!  We will be doing a Project Life Page with De Arn and a card and 3D item with me.    

Hi.  Tonight sees the launch of a brand new challenge blog called CASE-ing the Catty .  A dozen talented paper crafters have joined forces to bring you loads of inspiration from the latest Stampin' Up! ® catalogue.  If you are looking for ideas for your next Stamp Class, Workshop, Stamp Retreat etc. you won't need to search any further because CTC Challenges will provide you with gorgeous projects every week to get your creative juices flowing. Each week we will focus on a different section of the catalogue and for our first challenge it's all about  'Gift and Packaging' with ideas CASED or inspired by projects from page 6 through to page 23 (AUS/NZ). Please refer to the 'What Do You Need?'  page at the beginning of your country's catalogue to see how each section is divided. The inspiration for my gift bag comes from page 20 of the AUS/NZ catty - CTC #1 - Gift Bag with Garland    ...
