Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we are back CASEing from the Annual 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’m full on into Christmas mode so I chose a card from the Annual Catalogue that I could adapt to a Christmas card.

My inspiration comes from the card on the very right of the above graphic which uses the Gallery Blooms Bundle.

My card base is Thick Basic White, a layer of Cherry Cobbler then a layer of Basic White which has been embossed with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I die cut a circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies then Gold Heat Embossed the sentiment which is from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set. When I design a “wreath” card I find it’s easier to place the die cuts around an actual circle.

I stamped four flowers in Memento Black Ink then coloured the leaves with a Mossy Meadow Blends and for the centre of the flowers I used a Bronze Blend. I die cut various leaves in Mossy Meadow, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Beige and Gold Foil then arranged them around the circle.

Mr Marvi was napping again this week. He sleeps in the doorway of my craft room which poses a huge trip hazard haha.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week’s CASEing the Catty challenge is to CASE a Punch or Die Project. 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’m not sure why but I don’t have many punches at all in my craft room. So I’ve chosen to CASE a die project that uses the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder. I know this is an embossing folder however it comes with one of the biggest dies I’ve ever seen which die cuts all of the amazing Christmas words.

I was a little pressed for time so my project is fairly quick and easy. I’ve CASEd the “Happy Christmas” card from the above graphic.

My card base is Thick Basic White then I’ve added an embossed layer of Whispers of Texture Specialty Paper. I know I used a different pattern of this specialty paper last week but I didn’t emboss it. How good does that look? The “Ho Ho Ho”, “Merry Christmas” and “To You” were also embossed and die cut using the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder. These words were die cut from Two Tone Cardstock then I sanded them back to show the white core. I’ve used Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green from the Turtle-Y Sweet pack.

The holly leaves are die cut from Two Tone Cardstock as well. I’ve added a Pearl Adhesive Backed Berry and splattered some Wink of Stella all over the embossed background.

Marvi was asleep on the bed so I tried not to wake him up for a photo. When I put the card on him he did open his eyes, made a little grunt of disapproval then went back to sleep.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back CASEing the Catty after spending two weeks in Wangaratta, Victoria. We travelled down for a wedding then stayed an extra week so we could attend the funeral of my partner’s brother. We then had a long 18 hour drive home which was uneventful except for a severe storm just 2 hours from home. In July my partner drove to Wangaratta on his own and hit a kangaroo on his way back which wrote off his ute.

I’m CASEing a card which uses the Online Exclusive Delicate Framing Bundle.

I’ve made my card a Christmas card using these gorgeous dies.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Whispers of Texture Specialty Paper. I love the detailed texture in this Specialty paper. The frame is die cut from Secret Sea card stock then I’ve added two Cloud Cover leaves with Flower Garden Foil flowers.

I’ve die cut a Silver Foil circle using the Stylish Shapes dies then layered it with a Basic White circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment is from the Decorative Trees stamp set. I’ve finished off my card with a few Basic Rhinestones.

Now I know you’re all thinking “what happened to Marvi” while you were away. He was at home being spoilt by our wonderful house/cat sitter, Shane. Marvi has Shane wrapped around his little paw, sleeping on his bed and demanding snacks all day.
