Coast to Coast Creators Blog Hop - January to April MINI Catalogue

    Fourteen of the month so you know what that means! It's team blog and Insta hop day! We are showcasing some of our favourite items from the NEW January to April Mini Catalogue!

Like most folks, I have to be mindful of where I spend my dollars so my pre-order could only contain the items that were MUST-HAVES for me. And one of those bundles was the Greenery Lane Bundle and coordinating Washi Tape.

I wasn't sure where I was going when I started but here are all the elements I had on my desk to work with.

I had a long piece of Basic White cardstock covered in the Washi Tape from which I die cut out several of the images. I also had cardstock die cuts and a couple of stamped die cuts.

My next thought was I wanted to use a Cloud Cover card base. Although not one of the colours in the Washi Tape, the muted Lost Lagoon shade that is there is very close to Cloud Cover.

Next thing I wanted to try, was layering the Washi Tape on a cardstock colour other than Basic White so I put it directly on a Cloud Cover layer.

Then I just started laying the die cuts across the card front. It quickly began to look similar to one of the samples in the catalogue and so I just ran with it. It'd similar but not the same and I love how it turned out. 

I also incorporated Secret Sea into the colour scheme, it is an excellent grounding neutral with the other colours.

Lastly, I wanted to add some stamping on the inside.  I considered the small floral image but because I feel like the front of the card is gender neutral, I wanted to keep the inside the same. So I took the large leaf image and stamped portions of it along one edge using Secret Sea. 

I can't wait to see how the rest of the team chose to showcase from all the amazing options in the January to April Mini Catty!
