Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been raining again here in “sunny” Queensland, it feels like it’s been raining for the entire year so far. I hope you’ve got good weather wherever you live, and the sun is shining.

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 the post.

I’ve CASEd the card in the bottom right hand corner of the above graphic. This card is on page 80 of the Mini Catalogue.

I’ve used Thick Basic White card stock as my card base followed by a layer of Basic Gray. The four panels of card stock are Soft Succulent, Blushing Bride, Smoky Slate and Basic White. I’ve used three different stamps from the Dahlia Days stamp set on three of the panels. The sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set and is stamped in Pale Papaya ink.

The hexagon is die cut using the Beautiful Shapes Dies and the Pale Papaya banner has been created with the Banners Pick A Punch. I’ve also added a Brushed Brass Butterfly and a couple of Brushed Metallic Dots.

It’s far too wet outside for Marvi at the moment so a quick photo on the kitchen bench will do this week. If Marvi’s aunties see this picture they’ll be saying “he’s on the bench……again!!!”.

Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing a Blending Brush Technique this week, what’s your favourite technique? You may have hopped over from Michelle’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

I’ve chosen to CASE the pansy card at the bottom of page 15 of the Annual Catalogue. This sample card has used blending brushes for the background and to add extra colour to the flowers and leaves.

I don’t have the Pansy Patch Bundle so I used the Poppy Moments Dies instead.

My card base is Soft Succulent followed by a layer of Soft Sea Foam. I’ve used the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks on some Basic White card stock for the next layer.

The poppy is die cut from Fresh Freesia and Rich Razzleberry card stock and the leaves are Soft Sea Foam and Soft Succulent. For the centre of the poppy I’ve used some retired 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum and a Loose Flower Flourish. I’ve also added some Soft Succulent Satin Shimmer Ribbon behind the sentiment and some Wink of Stella to the poppy.

Marvi posed nicely this week. Maybe he’s been bored with all this rain we’ve been getting and was happy to model for me.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back with CASEing the Catty Blog Hop after taking last week off. I was volunteering and competing in a 3 day sporting event. It was an exhausting weekend but a very successful weekend as well.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mum’s out there. Marvi bought me a gorgeous arrangement of flowers, who knew he could order online, he’s such a clever boy lol.

It wasn’t difficult for me to pick my favourite project from the brand new catalogue. The first item on my wish list was the Sun Prints Suite. It’s on page 90 of the catalogue and includes a stamp set with matching dies, an embossing folder and some stunning DSP.

I’ve CASEd the card in the bottom left hand corner of page 90. I liked this card so much I haven’t changed a single thing, just added one extra layer.

The card base is Starry Sky followed by a layer of Gray Granite. The next layer of Starry Sky has been embossed with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder then I’ve swiped my Whisper White stamp pad across the top of it. It’s so easy to do and gives the embossed ferns such a great look.

I have added a piece of the Sun Prints DSP which I partially die cut with the same die I used for the sentiment. I’ve used So Saffron and Pacific Point ink for my stamped images and die cut them with the co-ordinating dies.

Marvi looked a bit sad today. I told him of my plans to makeover my small backyard, removing all the grass and planting a tropical oasis, I’m not sure he’s onboard with that idea. Or maybe he didn’t really like my card, who knows.
