Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing a Technique. 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 chosen to CASE a card on page 41 of the catalogue. The technique is to create your own background.

The sample card uses the Playful Packaging stamp set however I’ve used the Nature’s Symphony stamp set.

My card base is Balmy Blue followed by a layer of Basic White. The Basic White layer has been stamped in Old Olive, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Peaceful Pine and Balmy Blue. I’ve added a piece of Peaceful Pine Velveteen Specialty Paper which has been die cut along the bottom edge using a die from Gears & Textures Dies. There is also a Balmy Blue piece with a scalloped edge which is from the Lovely Arrangements Dies.

The flowers and butterflies are from the Fern & Flora bundle and have been coloured in Highland Heather and Old Olive Blends. I’ve also added some Baker’s Twine and some Basic Rhinestones.

Marvi was wide awake for the photo today. I had two card making classes today which keeps him pretty busy socialising.

It’s time to hop over and see Julia’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Unfortunately last week my blog was experiencing technical issues so I couldn’t hop along with the rest of the team. Fingers crossed all is now sorted. I did make a card for the challenge which I’ve added to our Facebook page.

We’re CASEing the Waterside Retreat Suite this week. 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’ve CASEd the “Have A Great Birthday Dad” card above. Instead of using the Waterside Retreat Suite I’ve used Wild Bunch, which is the latest Product of the Month.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by layers of Basic Black and Country Woods DSP. I’ve stamped four penguins in Black Memento ink then coloured them with Basic Black, Basic Grey and Crushed Curry water colour pencils. I’ve then used a Blender Pen over the top of the water coloured pencil.

I’ve also stamped three small hearts and coloured them with a Flirty Flamingo water colour pencil. The sentiments are also from the Wild Bunch stamp set and are White Heat Embossed.

Marvi was not happy last week because no one got to see him posing with my card. He’s almost as cute as those penguins.

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.
