Yearly Archives: 2018

Hello and welcome to my Blog.  Can you believe there’s only 2 more sleeps until Christmas?   This is our last CTC Blog Hop for this year, thanks for all the support and lovely comments you’ve left throughout the year.

This week we’re CASEing our Favourite Holiday Catalogue Project.  You may be starting with me or you may have hopped over from Judy’s gorgeous creation.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I really love the “Stained Glass Window Card” on page 15 of the Holiday Catalogue so I thought I’d end the year with a CASE of that card.

I also really love the Joyous Noel Glimmer paper from the Holiday Catalogue so I’ve combined the two.

My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Merry Merlot and Tranquil Tide.  I’ve die cut the “window” in Basic Black using the Stained Glass Thinlits.  Then I’ve die cut the “window” again in the Glimmer papers and selectively paper pieced some of the pieces.

It was very hard to capture the Glimmer on this card in my photos so you’ll just have to trust me, it’s very glimmery.

Speaking of Glimmery, someone got into the Christmas decorations while I wasn’t looking.  Lucky for Marvi that was a spare piece of tinsel.

Next up tonight is Rachel’s beautiful project.  Just click on the “Next” button to hop right over.

Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration is to CASE our Favourite Bundle.  You may have arrived here from Rose’s gorgeous creation, thanks for continuing on with me.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

My favourite bundle from the 2018 Holiday Catalogue is Dashing Deer.

I’ve used the banner on page 8 as my inspiration and turned it into a card.

I’ve used the Silver Foil-Edged Cards and Envelopes, don’t you just love them?  I’ve made a banner of Silver Foil Sheet and embossed it with the Swirls & Curls Embossing Folder.  I’ve attached half a Pearlized Doily to the top of the banner.

The deer is die cut from a Black Foil Sheet and he has a Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper bow around his neck.  The sentiment is from the Timeless Tidings stamp set and is Silver heat embossed on Merry Merlot card stock.

Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration is to CASE anything but a card from either catalogue.  You may be starting with me or you may have arrived from Rebecca’s gorgeous creation.  Make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

This week I’ve CASEd the cute little Mini Pizza Box on page 24 of the Holiday Catalogue.

I wondered how the box would look spritzed with some Bright Copper Shimmer Paint mixed with Isocol?

I spritzed the shiny side of the box and it created this cool sort of marbled effect.

I added a belly band of Bermuda Bay card stock, Suite Season Specialty Washi tape, Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon and some 1/4″ Copper Trim.

The sentiment is heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and it’s attached with some Whisper White Solid Baker’s Twine.

I added some little 3″ note cards using some of the Santa’s Worksop Memories & More Cards.

Next up tonight is Elizabeth’s beautiful project.  Just click on the “Next” button to hop right over.
