Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing the colours of the Easter Joy DSP. The colours are Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Lemon Lolly, Peach Pie, Pretty in Pink and Shy Shamrock. 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 don’t usually make easter cards so I didn’t purchase any of the Easter Joy Suite so I’ve used what I have to CASE a card on page 36 of the Mini Catalogue.
My card was inspired by the daffodil card in the graphic above. I was feeling a little challenged to use all of the colours in the DSP, however for these moments you can’t go past flowers.
My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Mixed Up Patterns DSP. I’ve used the retired Impressions Abloom Dies to die cut an oval in the DSP. Then I’ve die cut some leaves and flowers, in the challenge colours, using the Delicate Framing Dies. I’ve added adhesive sheet to my card stock before die cutting, making it so easy to adhere to my project.
The sentiment is Silver Heat Embossed and is from the Simply Said stamp set. Using a blending brush I’ve added some Balmy Blue ink over the top of the sentiment. To finish off my project I’ve added some Basic Rhinestones to the centre of a few flowers.
Marvi was napping on top of the clothes dryer. It’s one of his many sleeping spots around the house. I had to climb up on a chair to get this photo as the dryer is on top of the washer and I’m not very tall haha.

This is such a fabulous card to showcase the Easter Joy palette, Peta. I love how you created the oval wreath to sit the flowers on.
