Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing a Punch Project from 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 chosen to CASE the “Happy Birthday” card on page 57 of the Mini Catty. It uses two punches, the Ink & Tiled Punch Pack and the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch.
My card looks vastly different to the sample card however I hope you can see the similarity. Some weeks what I picture in my head and what my CASE’d card looks like are two completely different things.
My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Basic Black. The sample card has a “splattered” background so the next layer of Basic White has some Gold Embossed “splatters”, I’ve used a stamp from the Quiet Meadow stamp set. I’ve die cut three snowflakes from some Gold Adhesive-backed Glimmer Paper using the Chic Dies. These are instead of the four punched crosses. Have you seen the Online Exclusive Adhesive-backed Glimmer paper? It’s amazing.
I’ve Gold Heat Embossed some “splatters” on a scrap piece of Basic Black then used the Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a circle. I’ve added a few thin strips of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper behind the circle. The sentiment is also Gold Heat Embossed and is from the Christmas Classics stamp set.
I didn’t want to waste the negatives from the three die cut snowflakes so I created a second card. This was a quick and easy card with a little more Gold Heat Embossing and a sentiment.
Marvi was not co-operating for a photo this week. Can you believe this was the best photo I could get? He was too busy rolling around on the concrete to pose nicely.
