Hello and welcome to my blog. This is the second last blog hop for the year before we all take a well earned break. We are CASEing A Kit Card. 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 from the Handmade and Heartfelt Kit. I’ve used the same colours as the kit uses however I’ve made my card a Christmas card.

I’ve used the card on the very right of the above graphic as my inspiration however I’ve only die cut 5 circles instead of 10.

My card base is Lost Lagoon followed by a layer of Basic Beige which has 5 circle die cuts using the Stylish Shapes Dies. Each circle has a different Christmas “scene”. I’ve used Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Petal Pink for all of the stamping and I’ve used 3 different stamp sets. Jar of Joy, Decorative Trees and Delicate Pines.

The sentiment is from the Wishing You Joy stamp set and is White Heat Embossed on a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock. I’ve also added a few Petal Pink Muted Palette Dots.

Marvi was keeping cool lying on my concrete coffee table. You would think it would be so uncomfortable but he does spend a lot of time there, all I can think of is it’s cool in this summer heat we’ve been experiencing lately.

I’m last on the hop this week so if you didn’t start at the start with Kathryn just click on the next button below and it will take you back to the start.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the Colours Of Aurora DSP. The colours are Azure Afternoon, Balmy Blue, Pool party, Berry Burst, Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black. 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.

During the week I received a new bundle called On Display and was excited to use it. I haven’t actually CASEd any card samples from the catalogues, however I’ve used all of the above colours which are found in the Colours of Aura DSP.

My card base is Basic Black followed by another layer of Basic Black which has been embossed with the Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder. I have also die cut the bookcase from Basic Black. It took me ages to choose which items to place on which shelf. I’ve used some of my favourite things, plants, frames, books and of course a cat.

There’s so many more options in the On Display stamp set, bottles, jugs, world globe, bird cage and more plants. The sentiment is from the Decorative Trees stamp set and is White Heat Embossed.

Marvi didn’t like the grey cat, he thought I should have made it Tabby, like him. He does however like the little birds I’ve added to the frames.

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.

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