Hello and Welcome to my blog. The new August – December 2020 Mini Catalogue went live on the 4th August and we’re excited to be CASEing the front cover 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 each post.

I’ve chosen to CASE the card with the reindeers and sleigh but I’ve gone for non-traditional Christmas colours.

My card base is Smoky Slate with layers of Basic Black and Seaside Spray. I’ve then used some Feels Like Frost SDSP. When you have such gorgeous images why not let them do all the work. This design works perfectly with the reindeers and sleigh.

The sleigh is from Wishes & Wonder stamp set has been stamped in Versamark then heat embossed in silver then coloured with my Dark Seaside Spray Blend. The reindeers are die cut from Black Glitter Paper using the North Pole Wonder Dies. The sentiment is from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and is White Heat Embossed on Basic Black card stock.

Marvi was a little pre-occupied for a photo this week. I’m dog sitting my friends dog, Mike. Marvi likes Mike’s big bed.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we have a sketch challenge. CASE the sketch on page 72 of the Annual Catty. 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 each post.

Here’s the card broken down into a sketch.

I’ve used this sketch challenge to make my first Christmas card for the year. I know it’s only August but you can never start on Christmas cards too early lol.

My card base is Gray Granite with a layer of Whisper White then a layer of Peony Garden DSP. My Poinsettia is sitting on another smaller panel of Whisper White which has been die cut with the scalloped edge from the Magnolia Memory Dies then embossed with Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.

The Poinsettia is die cut in Cherry Cobbler using the Poinsettia Dies. The leaves are Mossy Meadow and I’ve added some Gray Granite sprigs. The flower in the centre of my poinsettia is from the Boho Indigo Product Medley. My sentiment is White heat embossed and is from the Wrapped In Christmas stamp set.

Marvi was happy to pose for a photo today and the card survived!!! I thought those little sprigs might have been a temptation for him.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing your favourite project from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue. With so much to choose from how could I pick my favourite project? 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 each post.

I narrowed it down to my favourite suite of products then chose to CASE the card in the bottom right hand corner of page 123 of the Annual Catalogue.

I like this card so much I’ve kept very close to the sample. My Card base is Night of Navy with layers of Seaside Spray and Gray Granite. My layer of Gray Granite has been stamped with three of the images from the Tasteful Touches stamp set then embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder. I’ve also used my long retired Spritzer Tool and an Early Espresso Stampin’ Marker to add some splatter.

The flower has been stamped in Memento Black and coloured with Rococo Rose Blends. I’ve added some Gray Granite 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon (this ribbon is soooooo pretty) and some In Good Taste DSP. I’ve also added some retired Black Rhinestones for a touch of bling. The sentiment is from Many Mates and is stamped in Night of Navy ink.

Marvi was very interested in my card this week. After I’d taken a good photo the card was on the floor and the flower was ripped off. I did manage to save the rest of the card though.
