Hello and welcome to my blog and welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Because our theme changes every single week, there is always a fresh excuse to create and share. This week’s challenge is CASE a Punch Bundle.

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’ve used the wreath card on page 45 of the Catalogue as my inspiration.

As my card came to life I realised it looks nothing like the sample card however I hope you can see some similarities.

My card base is Basic Beige followed by a layer of Secret Sea. Next I added a piece of Creative Celebrations Mix & Match 6″ x 6″ SDSP. This DSP is on page 12 of the Catalogue and is so versatile. It features Christmas and winter-themed designs in a cheerful pastel palette and has four sheets of pre-cut designs, pages of cut-parts and pages of gift tags. I’ve used the wreath cut-apart over the layer of Secret Sea. I’ve then fussy cut the white border off a couple of the pre-cut designs and adhered them under my sentiment.

The sentiment is from the Noel Tidings stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea ink then die cut using the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies in Silver Foil. I’ve also added a Baker’s Twine bow.

Marvi is looking particularly handsome in today’s photo. He had to go to the vet yesterday for his monthly arthritis injection and he was such a good boy the vet nurse gave him a treat and a big cuddle.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing A Bundle. 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’ve chosen to CASE a card on page 41 of the Catalogue which uses the Scalloped Blooms Bundle.

I’ve changed some of the colours however kept the layout pretty much the same.

I’ve started with a Basic Beige card base then I’ve trimmed 1.5cm off the right hand side. Using the Scalloped Blooms Dies I’ve die cut a piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP using the non-velvet side. I’ve also die cut six smaller scallops, three from Balmy Blue card stock and three from some Spring Textured Metallic Specialty Paper. I’ve used my snips to make the Balmy Blue scallops more flower like then I literally screwed them up in my hand to give them some texture before layering them over the Metallic Specialty Paper.

The flower stems and leaves are die cut from some Mossy Meadow card stock and the flower centres are die cut from some Bloom Boutique Specialty DSP. I’ve embossed three pieces of card stock with the Softly Woven 3D Embossing Folder and adhered one piece on the inside of the card and the other pieces along the bottom of the card. The sentiment is from the Banner Sayings stamp set.

Marvi was napping in my craft room again this week. This photo almost looks like he’s taken a selfie haha.

Hello and welcome to my blog and welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Blog Hop. Because our theme changes every single week, there is always a fresh excuse to create and share. This week’s challenge is CASE A Layout Template from page 13.

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.

If you scan the QR code at the bottom of page 13 of the Catalogue it will show you dozens of fabulous templates.

There’s so many templates to chose from I had a hard time choosing which one to use. In the end I landed on the third template on the top row.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Crumb Cake. Next I’ve added three panels of A Stitched Season DSP (July Online Exclusive). Unfortunately after completing my card and blog I realised this DSP is no longer available, so I apologise for using a retired product. I die cut a Basic White square using the Stylish Shapes Dies then added a fussy cut Christmas tree.

I’ve added some Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine. The sentiment is from the Scalloped Christmas Cheer stamp set and is stamped in Secret Sea.

Marvi and I were having a good old conversation while he was posing for photos. I’ve snapped him mid sentence with his mouth slightly open. Maybe he was telling me about his day although my guess is he was asking for more snacks.
