Welcome to the second hop of the year for Around the World on Wednesday. I hope you're all feeling rested, re-energised and ready to create!
On the second Wednesday of each month, the team put together a thematic hop to give you some inspiration for your own crafting. We love it when you try out something new or CAS(E) one of our projects. The team is truly international, with members from each time zone of the world that Stampin' Up! operates. You're with me, in New Zealand - the first place in the Stampin' Up! world to change the date. 😀
This month, we're doing something a little different. It's five years since Around the World on Wednesday started up, so we're doing some close-up looks at the team. Our mission was to both CAS(E) something from the catalogue and to CAS(E) something from team member (and ex-Artisan) Teri West using one of her reimaginings of a Paper Pumpkin kit.
Going through the new January-April Mini Catalogue, I found this little card which I love the layout of. So often in my cards, I use a texture-embossed card front with the rest of the design taking up about 1/3 of the space. I was quite surprised to discover that, in the end, my CAS(E) of this did not include a texture embossed front!
For the second part of the challenge, I used a card of Teri's (see it here) that had a similar-ish layout but used colours that I liked: Melon Mambo, Pool Party, Bumblebee (replaced by Daffodil Delight) and Petal Pink.
Sitting on my desk was a new bundle, part of my pre-order for the March Online Exclusive drop, called Rolling Waves.
Instead of the strip of cardstock in the catalogue, I used a stamp to create a width of sand. Then I used one of the wave dies to create a waveline to run across the sand. I think the stamp is really meant to create water for a wave but I liked it as sand.
Just as the words are so cleverly placed partly over the disco ball in the original, I've placed my sentiment (also from Rolling Waves) partly over the umbrella.
Next up on the hop is the wonderful Leonie Stuart in Australia. Let's see what she's CAS(E)d from the catalogue and from Teri.
If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up Demonstrator, I'd love to be yours. I can help you with ideas, get you catalogues and provide you with Stampin' Up products.
