There were only two bundles and three stand alone stamp sets in the May 2026 Online Exclusives and I didn’t buy any of them so this challenge really had me thinking.

#justpeachy

I chose to CASE the above card which uses the Just Peachy Online Exclusive stamp set.

My card base is Peaceful Pine followed by a layer of Basic White. I was dying to use the new Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP and I’ve managed to incorporate two small squares of my favourite piece of this SDSP. The ferns and leaves are die cut from Peaceful Pine and Cloud Cover card stock using the Fern & Flora Dies. I’ve also added a small strip of Bloom Boutique SDSP along the top and bottom of the card.

I’ve White Heat Embossed a sentiment from the Scalloped Blooms stamp set. The butterfly has been stamped in Memento Black and is coloured with Peaceful Pine, Crisp Cantaloupe and Barely Blush Shimmer Pens.

Marvi didn’t even open an eye for this week’s photo. If only he had hands and could feel the soft texture of the flocking on the SDSP. I can’t stop touching it………..in a non creepy way of course haha.

There’s only two crew members in the hop tonight so if you didn’t start with Monique just click on the next button below and it will take you back to her beautiful project.

CTC569 – Case May-August 2026 Catalogue

CTC Sunday Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week is our first CASE from the new May-August 2026 Catalogue and we can CASE whatever we like. You may have hopped over from Rochelle’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

#ctc569

I didn’t have to look far for the project I was going to CASE as it’s on the front cover.

The project on the front cover uses the Bloom Boutique SDSP however I’ve used the Moonlit Flora DSP.

#ctc569 #stampin_cat #moonlitfloradsp #scallopedbloomdies #phrases&frames #stampinup

My card base is Mossy Meadow followed by a layer of Basic Black. Next I’ve cut several 4cm x 4cm squares from some Moonlit Flora DSP and I’ve adhered them to another piece of Basic Black which I’ve then die cut using the Scalloped Blooms Dies. I needed to trim the edges of my scalloped piece to fit on my card.

#ctc569 #stampin_cat #moonlitfloradsp #scallopedbloomdies #phrases&frames #stampinup

I’ve used the Phrases and Frames Dies together with the Impressions Plate to create the Gold Foil frame around the sentiment. Using the Impressions Plate with the Impressions Dies gives you the best cutting and embossing results. Adding this plate to your sandwich results in precise die-cut images and detailed embossing. I’ve also added some Old Olive 3/8″ Specialty Rickrack behind the sentiment. The little Basic White and Berry Burst flowers are die cut using the Fern and Flora Dies.

Marvi was outside in the fresh air and sunshine. He alternates from chair to chair. When he gets too hot he moves to a shady chair, it’s like he’s playing musical chairs but all by himself.

CTC568 – Case Your Favourite Annual Catalogue Stamp Set

#ctc568 #stampin_cat #beautifulgallerysuite #damaskdesignsembossingfolder #incolourflatpearls #galleryblooms #beautifulmotifs #stampinup
CTC Sunday Challenge

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing our Favourite Annual Catalogue Stamp Set. 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.

#ctc568

I’ve chosen a card layout from page 134-135 of the Annual Catalogue which uses my favourite stamp sets, Gallery Blooms and Beautiful Motifs.

#page134-135

Initially I decided on the Basic Grey and Basic Black version of the card but I found I needed to add a little bit of colour and some texture.

#ctc568 #stampin_cat #beautifulgallerysuite #damaskdesignsembossingfolder #incolourflatpearls #galleryblooms #beautifulmotifs #stampinup

My card base is Basic Grey which has been stamped in Versamark with the floral stamp from the Gallery Blooms stamp set. The next layer is a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP, I’ve chosen a very subtle pattern. I’ve stamped the large flowers on a piece of Basic White using Memento Black ink. Next I’ve die cut a Silver Foil frame using the Gallery Blooms Dies then I’ve added some texture with the Damask Designs Embossing Folder. I’ve also added a small strip of Basic Black on the right hand side of the foil frame.

#ctc568 #stampin_cat #beautifulgallerysuite #damaskdesignsembossingfolder #incolourflatpearls #galleryblooms #beautifulmotifs #stampinup

The flowers are stamped in Lost Lagoon then die cut with the co-ordinating dies, Gallery Blooms Dies. I’ve also die cut a few leaves from the reverse side of the Beautiful Galley DSP strip I used. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and is stamped in Calypso Coral. To add a little bit of bling I found some 2025-2027 In Colour Flat Pearls, which seem to work well with the colours of my card.

Marvi was asleep under my craft desk. He didn’t seem very enthusiastic about my card, he didn’t even lift his head off the carpet.
