Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we are back CASEing from the Annual Catalogue, CASEing a suite of your choice. 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 chosen to CASE a card from the Turtle-y Suite on page 48 of the Annual Catalogue.

Although this suite is Turtle-y Cute the only thing I have from this suite is the Shades of Green Hexagons.

During the week I saw a card made by Laura Beacham. Her cards were simply made with squares of blended colours and a die cut so I thought I’d try this technique on my CASE this week. My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a smaller piece of Basic White. I’ve used a die from the Lovely Arrangements Dies to create the Fresh Freesia scallop. The squares are Summer Splash, Fresh Freesia and Misty Moonlight. The die cuts are from the Gallery Blooms dies.

I’ve used a blending brush to add ink to the squares and die cuts creating a great tone on tone look. The sentiment is from the Blooming Phrases stamp set and I’ve added a few retired Purple Adhesive-backed Sequins.

Marvi was taking a cat nap in his favourite box which was given to him by his grandparents. He’s made a few renovation to his box but it’s still his favourite and you’ll find him sleeping in it most days.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing the Made With Love Suite from the Mini Catty. 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 chosen to CASE a card on page 32 of the Mini Catalogue. My finished project looks nothing like the original project however I hope you can see where I was going with it and see some kind of resemblance.

In the sample card they’ve inked the inside of an embossing folder with a brayer so that’s where I started with my project.

My card base is Balmy Blue then I’ve added a layer of Basic White which has been embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder after adding Balmy Blue ink to the inside of the folder. Rather than two hearts I’ve used the Joyful Squares Dies to die cut a couple of squares from some Mixed Up Patterns DSP. The photo corners also use the same dies.

The flowers have been fussy cut from the Square Snippets DSP and the sentiment from the Simply Said stamp set and is White Heat Embossed on some Balmy Blue card stock. To finish off my project I’ve added a few Muted Palette Dots.

I found Marvi outside today so I took a quick photo. Rocky the robot vacuum and mop had been dodging him all morning. I guess he thought it was safer outside. Marvi does like to give Rocky a couple of whacks with his paw when he first starts up but he eventually gives up and either goes for higher ground or goes outside.

Hello and welcome to my blog. We are CASEing a Template from page 17 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.

Here is an image of all of the templates.

I’ve chosen the template in the top left hand corner and I’ve featured the Online Exclusive Lovely Blossoms DSP.

This DSP is full of white blooms in varying scales for both card making and paper crafting projects, all set in a palette of soft pink, fern green, and navy. With a bonus cut-apart sheet for easy accents.

Using the DSP and the bonus cut-apart accents I’ve made two cards because these accents make card making so quick and easy. The first card features Secret Sea and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set. When I went to clean the stamp I accidentally dropped it on my card and I got some Secret Sea ink in the top left had corner of the cut-apart accent. Too big to hide with some bling I fussy cut a couple of matching flowers from the DSP to fix my “accident”.

The second card features Old Olive and Petal Pink and a different piece of Lovely Blossoms DSP. I didn’t accidentally drop a stamp on this card but thought I’d keep them the same with the extra flowers.

I’ve added some White Baker’s Twine to both cards and I’ve used the Three Banner Punch to punch out the sentiments.

Here’s the Marvi Monster with both of my cards. Yesterday I had two card classes at home so Marvi is a little tired from all the socialising. He got into trouble when he jumped up on the table and stole a cheese rice snack. No food is safe in my house.

It’s time to hop over and see Rebecca’s wonderful creation, I think we have CASEd the same template. Just click on the next button below.
