Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing our Favourite Annual Catalogue Project this week. 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 started at the back of the catalogue and got to page 116 where there’s a card I’ve been wanting to CASE all year. This project was a popular choice as it looks like Julia has CASEd this card as well.

I’ve CASEd the “Thanks” card on the far right keeping very close to the original design and colour palette.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Pool Party. The next layer is a piece of Irresistible Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper which I’ve added some Lost Lagoon ink to, with a Blending Brush. I love how adding some ink brings out the gorgeous pattern of the Specialty paper. I’ve then added some Pretty Peacock “splatter” by tapping a Stampin’ Blend against a Bone Folder. The leaves are die cut from Basic White, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock using a die from the Sunshine Vibes Dies.

The Banner is in Pool Party and is die cut with a die from the Nested Essentials Dies. The sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set and is Gold Heat Embossed. I’ve added a double Baker’s Twine bow and some Loose Gold Sequins to finish off my project.

Marvi had snuck into the spare bedroom and was quite comfy on the bed. He’s generally not allowed in there as he leaves his fur all over the quilt cover. I must have left the door open accidentally.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Colours of Nature Walk DSP. The colours are Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Cloud Cover, Crumb Cake, Garden Green, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pecan Pie, Pretty Peacock and Secret Sea. You may have hopped over from Rochelle’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 CASE the “I like you” card above using the Stampin’ Spritzer technique, with Isocol, on page 41 of the Mini Catalogue.

My card base is Pretty Peacock then I’ve added a layer of Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. This layer has been “Spritzed” with Pretty Peacock and Old Olive ink then stamped in Pecan Pie using the Nature’s Symphony stamp set. I’ve also added in some Gold Heat Embossing to give the card a little shine.

I’ve adhered a Pecan Pie piece to the middle of the card then a Crumb Cake die cut and Pecan Pie stamped leaf. The sentiment has been White Heat Embossed and is from the Nature’s Symphony stamp set. If you look really closely you can see the amazing texture in the Natural Hues Textured Specialty Paper. This paper gives your projects a vintage, worn aesthetic when you mist ink with Stampin’ Spritzers.

Marvi was outside on the lounge having a little cat nap. He didn’t move when I put the card next to him, just opened his eyes long enough for a photo then went back to sleep.

Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing our favourite DSP 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.

I really liked the Florals In Bloom DSP, on page 67 of the Annual Catalogue, however I hadn’t used very much of it. So my challenge was to use this DSP that I really liked but hadn’t used (does this sound familiar haha).

I’ve CASEd the above card from page 89 of the Annual Catalogue which uses the Regals 6″ x 6″ DSP. In the sample card they’ve fussy cut along the flowers in the DSP to create the edge.

My card base is Peach Pie followed by a layer of Secret Sea. I chose a lovely pattern of Florals In Bloom DSP and fussy cut around the flowers. The flowers didn’t look quite right when “hanging” from the top of the card so I changed it up and added the DSP to the bottom of the card. I thought this left a lot of boring white space so I added some interest with some Wood Textured Specialty Paper.

I’ve die cut a couple of leaves in Summer Splash using the Pretty Florals Dies. The sentiment is from The Right Words stamp set and is die cut using the Nested Essentials Dies. To finish off my card I’ve added a Tiny Bee Trinket.

Marvi was relaxing in his favourite basket. He’s had this basket since he was a kitten and he still squishes himself into it although he’s way too big now.
