CASEing the Catty Crew

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back CASEing this week and we’re CASEing A Scrapbook Layout. I spent last weekend out in the bush at Karara learning how to use a metal detector. Unfortunately I didn’t find any gold however I found an old railway spike, two hot rocks and several pieces of lead. We had a fun weekend and made some lovely new friends.

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.

My inspiration comes from a Scrapbook Layout on page 19 of the May-August 2026 Catalogue.

I liked the triangle detail on the above layout, don’t tell Marvi I CASEd something that had a dog on it haha.

My card base is Hydrangea Hue followed by layers of Basic White then Barely Blush. I cut four rectangle from some Bloom Boutique SDSP then cut them in half diagonally to make my triangles.

The “Happy” is die cut using the Words & Wishes Dies. The bottom layer is Basic White and the top layer is Gold Foil Sheet. The “Birthday” has been Gold Heat Embossed on Hydrangea Hue cardstock. To finish off my project I’ve added a few Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

Marvi was helping me in the office today. He’s not been his usual self the last few weeks and a trip to the vet revealed he’d somehow hurt his back and an X-ray confirmed he has osteoarthritis in both of his hips. As he is 13 1/2 years old I assumed he would have arthritis however we have no ides how he hurt his back. If you look at the fur under his chin you can see where the vet has shaved off his fur.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing a Quick & Easy Card from pages 12 and 13. 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.

You should be able to scan the above QR code for free templates and ideas.

My card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Basic Black. The next Basic White layer has been embossed with the Lovely Stripes Embossing Folder. Next I’ve die cut three rectangles from some Paper Medley DSP using the Nested Essentials Dies.

I’ve cut some thin strips of Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper then I’ve coloured some of this paper with a Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blend. This paper is quite glittery however it’s quite difficult to capture the glitter in my photos. The sentiment is from the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil Dies then I added a few Dewdrops Embellishments to finish off my project.

Marvi was wide awake this week when it was time for a photo. Judging by the look on his face I’m not sure he likes my card.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing A Bundle. 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 41 which uses the Words of Beauty Bundle.

This card features the Artisan Sketched Garden DSP which has had the background carefully coloured with blending brushes.

I recently received my Stampin’ Hot Foil System, this is my first project with it. The card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Peaceful Pine. I’ve then cut a piece of Vellum and used the Botanical Glow Hot Foil Die with some Gold Foil. Wow, these leaves are so gorgeous. I carefully coloured the leaves on the back of the Vellum with a blending brush. I then cut a second smaller piece of Vellum and coloured the whole thing with Peaceful Pine ink and a blending brush.

The Gold Foil sprig is die cut using the Notes of Collage Dies then I Hot Foiled the sentiment using the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies and die cut the word using the co-ordinating die. To finish off my project I added a few Gold Flower Accents.

I think Marvi was suitably impressed with my first Hot Foiling attempt. Unfortunately my photography doesn’t really show how gold and shiny my card really is.
