Hello and welcome to my blog. We’re CASEing a bundle from the May-August 2026 Catalogue. You may have hopped over from Judy’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 CASEing a card from page 36 which uses the Phrases & Frames Bundle.

I’ve changed the colours however kept to the same layout.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Lovely & Beautiful Specialty DSP. The frames have been die cut from Gold Foil Sheet using Phrases and Frames Dies together with the Impressions Plate. Adding this plate to your sandwich results in precise die-cut images and detailed embossing.

I’ve added some Mossy Meadow & Gold 1/4″ Trim, Dewdrop Embellishments and Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems. The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set and is stamped in Mossy Meadow.

I must say it looks like Marvi has been less than impressed with my cards lately. He doesn’t even bother to open his eyes, he’s well and truely into his sleeping time, which spans from around 10am to 4.00pm haha.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing the Bloom Boutique Suite on pages 16 to 19 of the May-August 2026 Catalogue. 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 Hydrangea Hue card on page 17. I’ve kept to the same layout however I’ve changed the colours slightly.

I decided to use the side of DSP that has the pretty gold flowers instead of the Hydrangea Hue side.

My card base is Hydrangea Hue which has been Gold Heat Embossed with the tiny stars stamp from the Boutique Blossoms stamp set. The next layer is a Barely Blush Scalloped Circle then a Bloom Boutique Specialty DSP Scalloped Circle. Next I stamped the outline of the flowers and leaves in Black Memento ink then coloured them with Hydrangea Hue, Crisp Cantaloupe, Golden Glow and Peaceful Pine using the Boutique Blossoms stamp set.

I’ve cut a banner from some 2026-2028 In Colour Pearlised Specialty Paper then Gold Heat Embossed a sentiment from the Phrases & Frames stamp set. It’s very hard to capture it in my photo but this pearlised paper has a very subtle shimmer and shine to it.

We still have a sleepy Marvi. The weather is getting cooler here in Queensland and he likes to curl up on the outdoor lounge, in the sun.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing from the May 2026 Online Exclusives. You may have hopped over from Monique’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 were only two bundles and three stand alone stamp sets in the May 2026 Online Exclusives and I didn’t buy any of them so this challenge really had me thinking.

I chose to CASE the above card which uses the Just Peachy Online Exclusive stamp set.

My card base is Peaceful Pine followed by a layer of Basic White. I was dying to use the new Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP and I’ve managed to incorporate two small squares of my favourite piece of this SDSP. The ferns and leaves are die cut from Peaceful Pine and Cloud Cover card stock using the Fern & Flora Dies. I’ve also added a small strip of Bloom Boutique SDSP along the top and bottom of the card.

I’ve White Heat Embossed a sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set. The butterfly has been stamped in Memento Black and is coloured with Peaceful Pine, Crisp Cantaloupe and Barely Blush Shimmer Pens.

Marvi didn’t even open an eye for this week’s photo. If only he had hands and could feel the soft texture of the flocking on the SDSP. I can’t stop touching it………..in a non creepy way of course haha.

There’s only two crew members in the hop tonight so if you didn’t start with Monique just click on the next button below and it will take you back to her beautiful project.
