I knew I wanted to use my favourite DSP, Merry Little Christmas, but I wasn’t sure about which Fancy Fold Technique to use. I decided on a Never Ending Card. They really aren’t that difficult, just a bit time consuming. Here’s a video of my card in action.

I watched a great Split Coast Stampers Youtube video on how to make the Never Ending Card then decorated it using Merry Little Christmas DSP and Hometown Greetings Edgelits.

I’ve photographed each side of the card so you can have a better look at it.

I haven’t made one of these cards for years and I’d forgotten how much fun they are to make. I’ve included a few close up photos of my embellishments.

I hope you like my card. Next up on our hop is Kristel Rimmer. Just click on the next button to hop over to her amazing project.

Colour INKspiration Challenge CI19

Stampin' Cat CI19 Window Box

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today’s post is for the Colour INKspiration Challenge CI19. The Challenge colours are Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Smokey Slate and Garden Green.

CI19

I needed a cute little box for a friend’s Birthday present so I decided to make the box in the Challenge colours.

Stampin' Cat CI19 Window Box

The Window Box is die cut in Smokey Slate. I’ve added a Basic Gray heart pattern to each side and matted it in Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment is from the co-ordinating stamp set, Window Shopping. The flowers are die cut in Daffodil Delight and Garden Green using the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.

CTC150 – Fav Big Shot Project – Holiday Catty

Stampin' Cat CTC150 Pretty Pines Quilt Top Embossing Folder

Hi everyone and welcome to my blog. It’s been another big week. Yesterday, myself and two of my demo friends, Lou & Megan, hosted a Craft Day Retreat at Purple Copper at Peregian Springs. That combined with work, a medical procedure and a cold has me exhausted. But not too tired to share this week’s CASEing the Catty project.

You may have hopped over to me from Rose, I just loved her project. This week we are CASEing our Favourite Big Shot Project from the Holiday Catty. Hmm……I looked through the Catty 3 times before I decided what to CASE then chose the card on page 27.

Now at first glance this card does not appear to have much Big Shot-ing (is that a word?) on it but my version does.

I used the largest Layering Oval to die cut the front of my card…..Big Shot. I don’t have the Christmas Happiness Stamp Set but I do have Pretty Pines Thinlits. I’ve die cut the pine leaves and pine cone rather than stamping them……Big Shot. I’ve also embossed the front of my card with the Quilt Top Embossing Folder so that’s heaps of Big Shot-ing.

I did a very light water colour wash in Soft Sky on some Water Colour paper and attached that to the inside of my card. My pine cone is die cut from Copper Foil Sheet and my sentiment is heat embossed in Copper.

Next up in the crew hop is the very talented Megan. Her project is just gorgeous. Just click the next button to hop on over.
