Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we are CASEing our Favourite Mini Catalogue Bundle. You may have hopped over from Rachel’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

My favourite bundle is the Whimsical Trees Bundle. The stamp set and co-ordinating dies are just so versatile, you can’t go wrong with these Christmas Trees. You can create so many beautiful cards, I love them.

I’ve CASE’d the tree card in the top right hand corner of page 24.

My card base is Misty Moonlight with layers of Blushing Bride and Whimsy & Wonder SDSP. Two of my three trees have been die cut directly from the Peaceful Place SDSP. The third tree has been die cut from the Silver Specialty Foil.

This SDSP has not been made to co-ordinate with these dies but I think they work well.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set and I’ve used the Double Oval Punch to punch it out. I’ve also added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

Marvi was looking particularly handsome for todays photo. I may have told him I’d give him a treat afterwards.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Can you believe it’s only 4 weeks until Christmas? Have you made all your Christmas cards yet? If you haven’t, you might get some Christmas inspiration from this weeks CASEing the Catty blog hop. We are CASEing a non Christmas project from either catalogue and giving it a Christmas twist.

You may have hopped over from Michelle’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 the “You Have Been On My Mind” card, in the top left hand corner of page 51 of the Annual Catalogue.

I’ve kept very close to the layout but changed the colours, which is what CASEing is all about.

My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Smoky Slate. I’ve embossed the Smoky Slate card stock with the Hammered Metal embossing folder and torn the bottom edge, just like the sample card. I’ve added some Tidings of Christmas DSP and die cut a Christmas tree using the 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum.

I’ve stamped the Deer, from the Peaceful Deer stamp set, directly onto some White Velvet Sheet then used the co-ordinating Deer Builder Punch to punch it out. This velvet is a retired product from a couple of Christmases ago but there are Snowy White Velvet Sheets in the current Mini Catalogue which would work well. The deer’s antlers are punched from some Black Glitter Paper. The sentiment is from the Merriest Moments stamp set and is white heat embossed. I’ve also added some Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon.

I think this look on Marvi’s face was saying “what do you mean you stamped then used a punch on velvet, can you really do that?”.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the colours of the beautiful Blackberry Beauty SDSP. The colours are Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider and Gold. You may have hopped over from Michelle’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 loosely based my card on the Kraft Gift Box on page 36 of the Mini Catalogue.

If you came to my classes this month you may recognise this card, only in different colours.

My card base is Early Espresso with layers of Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss and Cinnamon Cider. The Cinnamon Cider layer has been embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder. The sentiment has been gold heat embossed on Blackberry Bliss card stock. I’ve used the end of the Everyday Label Punch to create the punched shape.

The trees are die cut from Blackberry Beauty SDSP using the Christmas Tree dies. I’ve also added some Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon and Gold Foil baubles.

Mr Marvi was chilling outside this morning so I got a quick picture before he even realised what I was doing.
