Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration comes from the Santa’s Workshop section, pages 18-27 of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.   You may have arrived here from Fi’s gorgeous creation, thanks for continuing on with me.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I decided to CASE the “Merry Warm Wishes” card on page 24.

This card uses the fabulous new Tags & Tidings stamp set.  Unfortunately it’s still on my wish list so I used the Marbled Background stamp instead.

I painted the Marbled stamp with Frost White Shimmer Paint using an old paint brush.  I’ve used Crumb Cake card stock with a layer of Basic Black behind it.

I’ve added some Suite Season Specialty Washi Tape then a sentiment from Merry Christmas To All, stamped in Cherry Cobbler.  I’ve used the word “Merry”, a Festive Farmhouse Element, and painted it with Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  The stars and tree are also Festive Farmhouse Elements.

Marvi didn’t like me showing everyone his big fat tummy last week so he posed for a better photo this week.

Welcome to this week’s CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration comes from the Festive Farmhouse section, pages 12-17 of the 2018 Holiday Catalogue.   You may have arrived here from Monique’s gorgeous creation, thanks for continuing on with me.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

The 2018 Holiday Catalogue has been live for a few days now.  What’s your favourite suite?  There’s lots to love in the Festive Farmhouse Suite.

I’ve used the “Merry Christmas ” card in the top right hand corner of page 12 as my inspiration this week.  Here’s a closer look.

I don’t actually have any of the products used in this sample so here is my version of this card using what I have.  That’s what’s so great about CASEing the Catty, you can use what you’ve got to re-create the samples.

My card base is Tranquil Tide with a layer of Grey Granite which has been embossed with the Simple Stripes Embossing Folder.  I’ve got some Copper Foil peeking out from behind the Grey Granite.  Next I’ve layered two pieces of the gorgeous new Tranquil Tide 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon.

I have several layers behind my sentiment.  First I fussy cut the wreath image from Petal Promenade DSP, a Stitched Shape Square in Gray Granite, a square of Joyous Noel Specialty DSP, a Stitched Label Circle in Tranquil Tide, a sliver of Tranquil Tide Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper then the sentiment from Peaceful Noel stamped in Tranquil Tide.  I’ve also added a tiny bow of Glimmer Paper die cut from Bouquet Bunch Framelits.

My assistant, Marvi, was not wanting to help today.  He really wanted me to rub his tummy instead.

Next on tonight’s hop is the lovely Rose.  Her project is beautiful.  Just click on the Next button to hop right over.
