Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration is to CASE a Holiday Catalogue Colour Combination.   You may have arrived here from Julia’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.

I’ve chosen the card from this weeks graphic.  The Blueberry Bushel and Lemon Lime Twist card from page 23.

I think these colours look very striking together and make another great non-traditional Christmas card colour combination. (try saying that 3 times fast)

My card base is Blueberry Bushel stamped with the flourish stamp from the Stylish Christmas stamp set.  Then I’ve spritzed my card with a mixture of Frost White Shimmer Paint and Isocol.

I’ve stamped the flower in Lemon Lime Twist and the tiny little stars are Gray Granite.  I’ve Silver Heat Embossed the sentiment on some Vellum card stock.  I’ve found the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets are fantastic at adhering vellum and you can’t see it trough the vellum.  I’ve also added some Clear Faceted Gems to the centre of the flowers.

I think Marvi liked the faint smell of Isocol on my card.  At least he didn’t try and eat it.

Welcome to another CASEing the Catty Blog Hop.  This week our inspiration is to take any Birthday card and give it a Christmas Twist.   You may be starting with me or you may have arrived from Simone’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.

The choices were endless but I finally narrowed it down to the “Best Wishes” card on page 146 of the Annual Catalogue.

Here’s a closer look at the card I used as my starting off point, you may have to use plenty of imagination as the finished product looks nothing like this.

I love using Night of Navy for Christmas cards so that’s where I started.

I’ve embossed a Whisper White piece of card stock with the Swirls & Curls embossing folder then adhered it to my Night of Navy card base.  I’ve coloured some Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper with my Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend, it looks so sparkly in real life.

The word “Merry” has been die cut with the Merry Christmas Thinlits.  First I used my Aqua Painter with Blueberry Bushel, Pacific Point and Night of Navy ink on a piece of Shimmer White card stock.  Do you like the variation in colour?

I’ve fussy cut some leaves from the Peaceful Noel stamp set and punched out some Night of Navy sprigs with the Sprig Punch.  The word “Christmas” is from the Merry Christmas To All stamp set.

My assistant, Marvi, was not really interested in my card this week.  Although he did pose for a photo.
