Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back CASEing the Catty after spending two weeks in Wangaratta, Victoria. We travelled down for a wedding then stayed an extra week so we could attend the funeral of my partner’s brother. We then had a long 18 hour drive home which was uneventful except for a severe storm just 2 hours from home. In July my partner drove to Wangaratta on his own and hit a kangaroo on his way back which wrote off his ute.

I’m CASEing a card which uses the Online Exclusive Delicate Framing Bundle.

I’ve made my card a Christmas card using these gorgeous dies.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Whispers of Texture Specialty Paper. I love the detailed texture in this Specialty paper. The frame is die cut from Secret Sea card stock then I’ve added two Cloud Cover leaves with Flower Garden Foil flowers.

I’ve die cut a Silver Foil circle using the Stylish Shapes dies then layered it with a Basic White circle using the Spotlight on Nature Dies. The sentiment is from the Decorative Trees stamp set. I’ve finished off my card with a few Basic Rhinestones.

Now I know you’re all thinking “what happened to Marvi” while you were away. He was at home being spoilt by our wonderful house/cat sitter, Shane. Marvi has Shane wrapped around his little paw, sleeping on his bed and demanding snacks all day.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing the colours of Autumn Toile DSP. The colours are Cajun Craze, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Early Espresso, Grey Granite and Very Vanilla. 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.

These gorgeous earthy colours are my kind of colours however I’m in a Christmas card making phase and I wanted to make these colours work for Christmas.

I’ve used the card on the top left of the above picture as my inspiration using Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, Pecan Pie and Very Vanilla.

My card base is Mossy Meadow followed by a layer of Early Espresso. Next I’ve added a layer of Very Vanilla which has been embossed with the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder. I’ve used the Ornamental Christmas Dies to die cut two Christmas baubles from some Woven Textures DSP. I love the texture in this DSP, it makes me want to touch the paper.

I’ve added some foliage in Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie using the Delicate Pines Dies and used some Gold Foil for the tops of the Christmas baubles. The sentiment is Gold Heat Embossed and is from the Wishing You Joy stamp set.

It was getting close to Marvi’s dinner time so I was not surprised to find him near his food bowls. Yes, he has two bowls. One is for dry food and the other is for wet food. He has to “sit” and “wait” before I feed him so he pretty much sits on command but only when it’s breakfast time, dinner time or snack time.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing a Bundle from pages 49-54 of the Mini 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 the post.

I’ve CASEd the snowflake card from the above graphic. The sample card uses the Snowy Delights Decorative Masks and the Words For The Season Bundle and is actually a shaker card. My version of this card uses the Online Exclusive Delicate Pines Bundle.

I started with a Pool Party card base followed by layers of Petal Pink then Silent Snowfall Specialty DSP. I think the little snowflakes on the Specialty DSP work really well with the stamped snowflake. The layers of snowflake are stamped in Petal Pink and Coastal Cabana with an added Silver Foil detail.

I’ve used two of the sentiments from the Christmas Words Collage Hybrid Embossing Folder in Silver Foil and Coastal Cabana. I’ve also added a few Petal Pink Muted Palette Dots.

When it was time for a Marvi photo I couldn’t find him anywhere. I eventually found him asleep on the bar stool at the breakfast bar. He looked so comfortable I felt guilty because I woke him up. Then I remembered all the times he’d woken me up at 3am zooming all over the bed and I didn’t feel so guilty.
