Hello and welcome to my blog. I can’t believe another week has flown by. It’s been such a busy week with work, classes, a trip to the emergency dept for my partner (he crushed the end of one of his fingers), family birthday’s and of course CASEing the Catty. I didn’t think I was going to make it this week with my card but I got there.
We’re CASEing the Boughs of Holly Suite on page 24 of 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.
There’s only 5 projects on page 24 of the Mini Catty and the “Season’s Greetings” card stood out for me, I love the colour combination.
My card base is Soft Suede followed by layers of Soft Succulent the Basic White. I’ve used the Merriest Moments stamp set to stamp the holly leaves and branches. I’ve used Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Old Olive, Soft Succulent and Mossy Meadow ink. I’ve used the second generation stamping method, with the Mossy Meadow ink, to create the lightest green holly leaves.
The sentiment has been stamped in Old Olive ink using the Brightest Glow stamp set then die cut using the Painted Label Dies. I’ve added two pieces of Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edge Ribbon behind the sentiment. I’ve also add a couple of Gold Holly Leaves and some For Everything Fancy Sequins. These sequins have been my “go to” choice of embellishment lately, there seems to be a sequin colour to match almost every card I’ve made.
Here’s my trusty assistant Marvi, ready to pose for photos. He always seems to be just in the right place at the right time. I’ve added an extra photo this week, I didn’t notice he was sitting on the bar stool at the kitchen bench when I was taking photos of my flowers.
I’m last on the hop this week. If you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop just click on the “Next” button and it will take you back to the start and Kathryn’s wonderful creation.

Love your card. All of the elements that you have included have their place and add up to a great card. Marvi looks right at home sitting up on the kitchen stool between your lovely flowers.
Your card is so beautiful. I find this suite very overwhelming, so I absolutely adore your pared-back card. The colours and the arrangement of the elements are wonderful. I hope your partner is OK!
Your card is totally brilliant!! I love these colours too – there’s so many interesting details!!
