Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing our favourite retiring bundle from the Mini Catalogue. 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 a card in the bottom left hand corner of page 35 of the Mini Catty which uses the Dahlia Days Bundle.

Instead of a square card I’ve made mine into a C6 size card. I’ve kept the layout fairly similar to the sample card.

My card base is Soft Succulent then I’ve added a piece of Symbols of Fortune SDSP and a thin strip of Calypso Coral card stock. The flower and leaf images are from the Dahlia Days stamp set and are stamped in Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight ink. I’ve then used the co-ordinating Detailed Dahlias Dies to die cut all of the images.

I’ve used the Vintage Bottle Punch to make the “pots” for all the flowers and leaves. I’ve modified each “pot” with my paper snips. I’ve fussy cut some small flowers and butterflies from the SDSP and popped them up on dimensionals to give my card some more depth. I’ve also added some For Everything Fancy Sequins. I will add a sentiment once I know the occasions this card will be used for.

Marvi was looking particularly handsome today as he posed with my card. I think the colour of the card base brings out the green in his eyes.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing an embossing project from either catalogue. 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 the post.

I liked the background of the card on page 73 of the Mini Catalogue and the image on this card has been white heat embossed so technically this card is an embossed project.

The background uses the Gentle Waves background stamp which I’m ashamed to say, is sitting on my shelf and hasn’t been inked up yet and it’s retiring at the end of the month. It’s currently on sale for $21.

I wondered what this stamp would look like white heat embossed, even though the sample card is not embossed. I liked the look of the embossing so then I used a blending brush and Soft Sea Foam, Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay ink to add colour to my background. I don’t have the Viking image the sample card uses so I thought sea shells would look perfect against my ocean background.

The Seaside Seashells Dies have a co-ordinating Seashells 3D Embossing Folder so that was perfect for the embossing project challenge. The main shell is stamped in Soft Sea Foam ink. Two other seashells were White Heat Embossed then I used my blending brush again with Petal Pink ink. I’ve added an embossed sentiment and some Faux Sea Glass Shapes. My finished card looks nothing like the sample card but I hope you can see where I was going with it.

I’m sure Marvi can see where I was going although I think he might have been dissapointed there were no fish on my card.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back with the team for the CASEing the Catty Blog Hop after taking last week off.  Last weekend was a long weekend here on the Sunshine Coast and I went to the Bunya Mountains with some girlfriends for a crafting weekend. The rain stopped just in time for the long weekend. It was cold but we had the fire going 24/7. I took this picture early Sunday morning when the mist rolled in, it just looked so magical.

This week we are CASEing from the All Occasions section of the Annual Catalogue, pages 12-45. 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 on the right hand side of page 27.

The sample card features poppies and tulips but I’ve made my card featuring the flower from the Uniquely Artistic stamp set. I’m not sure what this flower actually is. Please leave me a comment if you know what type of flower this is.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Sahara Sand. My next layer of Basic White has been randomly stamped with the flower using Sahara Sand ink. I’ve also stamped the same flower on a scrap piece of Basic White and Petal Pink then fussy cut them.

The leaves are from the Forever Flourishing Dies and are die cut in Garden Green and Pear Pizzazz card stock. The sentiment is White Heat Embossed and is from the Charming Sentiments stamp set.

Marvi had just finished eating when I took this picture. Can you see his tongue poking out? I captured him mid lick, he loves his food but I’m sure you can tell that from the size of him.
