Yearly Archives: 2022

Hello and welcome to my blog. I can’t believe another week has flown by. It’s been such a busy week with work, classes, a trip to the emergency dept for my partner (he crushed the end of one of his fingers), family birthday’s and of course CASEing the Catty. I didn’t think I was going to make it this week with my card but I got there.

We’re CASEing the Boughs of Holly Suite on page 24 of the Mini Catty. 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.

There’s only 5 projects on page 24 of the Mini Catty and the “Season’s Greetings” card stood out for me, I love the colour combination.

My card base is Soft Suede followed by layers of Soft Succulent the Basic White. I’ve used the Merriest Moments stamp set to stamp the holly leaves and branches. I’ve used Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Soft Succulent and Mossy Meadow ink. I’ve used the second generation stamping method, with the Mossy Meadow ink, to create the lightest green holly leaves.

The sentiment has been stamped in Old Olive ink using the Brightest Glow stamp set then die cut using the Painted Label Dies. I’ve added two pieces of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edge Ribbon behind the sentiment. I’ve also add a couple of Gold Holly Leaves and some For Everything Fancy Sequins. These sequins have been my “go to” choice of embellishment lately, there seems to be a sequin colour to match almost every card I’ve made.

Here’s my trusty assistant Marvi, ready to pose for photos. He always seems to be just in the right place at the right time. I’ve added an extra photo this week, I didn’t notice he was sitting on the bar stool at the kitchen bench when I was taking photos of my flowers.

I’m last on the hop this week. If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop just click on the “Next” button and it will take you back to the start and Kathryn’s wonderful creation.

Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing a Christmas Tree Project this week. There’s plenty of inspiration in the new Mini Catalogue, I couldn’t decide which project to CASE. 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 narrowed it down to the snow globe card on the top left hand side of page 20.

I’ve chosen completely different colours but kept the layout very similar.

My card base is Starry Sky followed by a layer of Basic White that’s been embossed with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder. The trees have been die cut from the Silver Foil Specialty Pack using the Snowman Dies. I’ve added some Snowflake Specialty Vellum behind my trees. When you tilt the vellum in the sun you see a beautiful rainbow effect.

The snow globe base is hand cut from Evening Evergreen card stock and I’ve run it through a retired embossing folder called Pinewood Planks. The sentiment is Silver heat embossed and I’ve added an Orchid Oasis 1/8″ Metallic ribbon bow.

Last week I mentioned we’d been doing some concreting and Marvi was stuck inside all day. I finally let him out into the backyard thinking the concrete was dry as we’d been walking on it……….but I was wrong. Can you see his little paw prints?

This week we’ve been having some glorious sunny winter weather here in Queensland. I found Marvi in the backyard sunning himself on the table so I took a quick picture. He’s looking quite handsome in todays picture.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing from the Sale-A-Bration Catty again. 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 used the “get well soon” card on the left hand side of page 15, as my inspiration.

I’ve changed up the colours but kept very close to the layout.

I did struggle putting this card together. I like things nice and square and even so this card really challenged me. My card base is Basic Gray followed by a layer of Mint Macaron which has been embossed with the Splatters Embossing Folder. Next I added a layer of Splendid Day SDSP. The leaf image is Silver Heat Embossed on Basic White card stock then I’ve used a Blending Brush to add a little colour. I’ve used the Stitched Rectangle Dies to create the rectangle and the frame around my leaf image.

I’ve added a couple of strips of Splendid Day SDSP behind the leaf image. To tie in the sentiment I’ve stamped some Fresh Freesia card stock with Basic Gray ink using the Art Gallery stamp set. I’ve also added some Sparkle & Shine Sequins for a touch of bling.

Marvi has been stuck inside all day as we’ve been concreting up one side of the house. I’m sure he thought if he posed nicely I’d let him out to add his paw of approval.
