Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been a busy week with work, craft catch ups and family birthdays. I’ve finally got my car back from the smash repairs, all fixed and looking shiny and new.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the colours of “Trimming The Town” DSP. The colours are Early Espresso, Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade and Whisper White. You may have hopped over from Rachel’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

These are colours that I wouldn’t normally use together and I don’t think Christmas at all when I see these colours. I challenged myself to use all of the colours and make a Christmas card with them. Poppy Parade doesn’t get much use in my craft room because I think a little Poppy Parade goes a long way, it’s so bright. With that being said I really love how this card turned out.

The card base is Early Espresso with layers of Whisper White and In Good Taste DSP. I’ve used the Wreath Builder Dies to die cut an Old Olive leaf wreath and a Poppy Parade sprig wreath. I snipped the leaf wreath in one place then wove it around the sprig wreath and hid the join under the flowers.

The flowers are die cut in Misty Moonlight and Pool Party and I’ve added some Whale of a Time Sequins to their centres. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Christmas and is White Heat Embossed.

Marvi was soaking up the sun again this week but I didn’t disturb him. He didn’t even open his eyes to look at my card.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s Sunday night already which means it’s time for CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. This week we are CASEing our Favourite Mini Catalogue Bundle. You may be starting with me or you may have hopped over from Rose’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I’ve used the Joy & Peace Bundle and CASEd the Mini Paper Pumpkin Box on page 18.

I really love this “Bright” box so I only changed the colours not the layout. My card base is Misty Moonlight with layers of Smoky Slate and Whisper White.

I’ve stamped the images from the Peace & Joy stamp set in Pretty Peacock, Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo. I love the layers of the Joy Dies, the colour combinations are endless. You can mix and match using one layer, two layers or all three like I’ve used in my card.

I’ve used some Seaside Spray 1/4″ Metallic Ribbon under my word “Bright” and added a few Metallic Pearls for some bling.

Marvi was enjoying the sun coming in the glass door, he can always find the warmest place in the house. Judging by the look on his face, taking a photo may have been disturbing him enjoying his sunshine.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Is it just me or does Sunday seem to roll around so quickly? The good thing about that is that we get to share our weekly creations with you. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from pages 168-169 of the Annual Catalogue, the Punch Bundle Pages. You may have hopped over from Tina’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I’ve CASEd the card at the top of the above graphic but I’ve made it a Christmas card.

I’ve used Basic Black for my card base followed by a layer of Whisper White then Basic Gray. I’ve Heat Embossed some holly leaves using White Embossing Powder then I’ve used the spotty stamp from the Forever Fern stamp set and Versamark to create the background.

I’ve used a panel of Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper layered over some Basic Gray card stock. I wish that you could feel how plush this really feels. The flocked designs on white vellum truely are devine. I’ve tucked some Real Red 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon behind this panel and added clusters of Red Rhinestones to my holly leaves. The sentiment is White Heat Embossed on Basic Black card stock and comes from the Peace & Joy stamp set.

Marvi was happy to pose for a quick photo today. He’s been loving Mike’s (my friends dog I’ve been looking after) inside bed but sadly Mike will be going home soon. I will miss him but Marvi will only miss his bed.
