Yearly Archives: 2022

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing a Watercolour Project, from either catalogue. You may have hopped over from Julia’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 “Life is better with friends like you” card on page 72 of the Annual Catalogue.

I’ve changed the colours and the orientation of my card but still kept very close to the original layout.

My card base is Pacific Point followed by a layer of Shimmery White. I’ve used Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Balmy Blue to create the watercolour wash background. The fussy cut flowers are from the Quiet Meadow stamp set and are White Heat Embossed then watercoloured with Pacific Point.

The sentiment is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set and is die cut using the Merriest Frames Dies. I’ve added a few of my favourite embellishments, For Everything Fancy Sequins.

Mr Marvi was posing nicely this week although I’m not sure he likes my card, his face says it all.

It’s time to hop over and see Sandra’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.

Hello and welcome to my blog. We have a short but sweet blog hop for you tonight as most of our design crew have been attending Stampin’ Up! Onstage event this weekend. Unfortunately I couldn’t get there this year but I did spend the day crafting with one of my amazing friends which helped with my feeling of FOMO.

We’re CASEing the Gingham Cottage Suite, page 58 of the Mini Catty. You may have hopped over from Rebecca’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 page 58. I’ve actually CASEd this card before (CTC376) but this time I’ve made it a Christmas card.

I’ve used a brand new die set called Framed Florets Dies. They are part of the Fitting Florets Collection which is available to order now from the January 2023 Mini Catty.

My card base is Soft Succulent with a layer of Basic White. I’ve used the Framed Florets Dies on the Basic White layer, creating this gorgeous oval frame. I’ve added some Lights Aglow SDSP behind the frame.

The leaves around my oval frame were also die cut from the Framed Florets Dies in Distressed Gold Specialty paper, Vellum Cardstock and Evening Evergreen Glimmer Specialty paper. The sentiment is from the Brightest Glow stamp set and has been punched with the Double Oval Punch.

Sometimes with Marvi, you just need to take a photo wherever and whenever you can. This little monkey fell asleep on my craft desk halting all crafting for the afternoon.

I’m last on the hop tonight so if you didn’t start at the start with Julia just click on the “Next” button below.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEIng the Catty you can CASE your Favourite stamp set, from either Catalogue. With so many options, what will you CASE this week? You may have hopped over from Julia’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

One of my favourite stamp sets is Quiet Meadow. I love how you can layer the stamped images over each other to create a collage look to your project.

I’ve CASEd the card on the far right hand side of page 69, of the Annual Catalogue.

My card base is Mossy Meadow followed by a layer of watercolour paper. To create the distressed edges I used a water painter to add water to my paper then I tore the paper against a metal ruler. I think this technique gives you amazing distressed edges. I’ve stamped my watercolour paper using Calypso Coral (first and second generation stamping), Mossy Meadow and Petal Pink inks.

I’ve adhered a couple of Meadows Dies die cuts. The Petal Pink die cut has been embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder. I’ve also added a Silver Foil butterfly and a Silver Simply Elegant Trim bow.

Marvi was on hand for a quick photo. He thought he’d get a snack after todays photo but he didn’t really look at the camera.
