Blog

Hello and welcome to my Blog. It’s been a lovely rainy weekend here in Queensland. Perfect weather to craft or watch Netflix.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing anything from the Sale-a-bration 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 each post.

I’ve CASEd the “hello” card from page 6 of the Sale-a-bration Catalogue.

I’ve changed up the colours of my card to make it a little less bright. My card base is Mossy Meadow with a layer of Pretty Peacock and Perennial Essence DSP.

Pretty Peacock is one of my favourite new In Colours, I don’t think there’s a colour it doesn’t go with. The flowers are die cut in So Saffron using the Lily Pad Dies. I have a layer of vellum behind them.

I’ve die cut some leaves in Old Olive and Pretty Peacock and also added some Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon. The sentiment is from Timeless Tulips and is stamped in Old Olive.

Marvi was relaxing outside but keeping out of the rain. I’m sure there was a bird sitting on the fence which caught his attention.

Thank you for joining me this evening for CASEing the Catty Blog Hop #CTC260 week 2. We are changing things this year and our challenges will be running for 2 weeks.  The Crew will be doing a weekly hop every Sunday but we’ll be doing the same challenge for 2 weeks.  That gives us two chances to CASE each challenge and it gives you 2 weeks to create something and enter our challenge.

This time the little Easter card on page 44 stood out to me.  I’ve substituted the chick with meerkats.

I’ve also changed the colours of my card, using Terracotta Tile as my card base then a layer of Sahara Sand and Woven Threads DSP.

I’ve used the bee hive from the Detailed Bee Dies and turned it upside down to create a big flower pot.  My cheeky meerkats are popping up out of the pot.  I’ve given them a little bit of colour using the Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend.

I’ve stamped a few party hats for my Meerkats in Rococo Rose and Pretty Peacock.  The sentiment is from the Gang’s All Meer and is stamped in Terracotta Tile.  I’ve also added a Braided Linen Trim bow.

Marvi is taking his inspiration from the upside down bee hive/flower pot.  It was his 7th Birthday on Thursday and he partied hard.

Happy New Year everyone, thanks for joining us for a brand new year of CASEing the Catty. We are kicking off 2020 by CASEing from the new Mini Catalogue. There’s 75 pages of inspiration, I can’t wait to see what you CASE.

I’ve chosen the yellow and green card on page 29 as my inspiration. I love the effect of white heat embossing over the stamped image.

I’ve changed the colours and used a different stamp set but the effect is the same.  Did you know that purple poppies are a symbol of remembrance for animals that served during wartime?

My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Whisper White. I’ve stamped the poppies in Gorgeous Grape then stamped the abstract stamp in Highland Heather over the top of the flowers. Then I added in some White Heat Embossed poppies, slightly off setting them.

I’ve added some Pool Party ink around the poppies with a sponge dauber. The sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms stamp set and is stamped in Gorgeous Grape on a narrow piece of Pool party card stock. To finish off my card I added some Metallic baker’s twine and Sequins from the SAB Catalogue.

Marvi was just chilling in the back yard while I was taking my photos. The look on his face may suggest I was disturbing him lol.
