Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from pages 71-75 of the 2020 Mini Catty. This section of the Catty shows you all the bundles Stampin’ Up! offers, at a glance. I refer to this section of the Catty all the time, it’s such a handy resource.

I really liked the simplicity of the “Coming Home” card on page 72. I’ve kept the layout very similar but added a bit more bling.

I don’t own this bundle or the embossing folder they’ve used on this card, but that doesn’t matter. That’s the beauty of CASEing the Catty, you use what you have and draw inspiration from the samples in the Catty.

I’ve started with a Purple Posy card base followed by layers of Seaside Spray and Snowflake Splendor DSP. The snowflakes in the DSP replace the Winter Snow Embossing Folder. I’ve used the Snow Globe Scenes Dies to create the Seaside Spray half circle then stamped my sentiment in Night of Navy.

I’ve used the same dies to die cut the trees in Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper and retired Silver Glimmer Paper. The reindeer is die cut from Silver Foil card. I’ve added a few Snowflake Sequins to add that extra little bit of bling.

Mr Marvi was literally flat out doing nothing so I took a quick picture before he decided he’d like to try and rip the reindeer off my card.

Hello and welcome to my blog. How’s your weekend been? I’m just home from an extended long weekend away with my family. Yesterday was my Dad’s 90th birthday and to celebrate we rented a 5 bedroom house, near Eumundi, for 3 nights. We all had the best weekend. Dad loved his Colllingwood birthday cake even though Collingwood didn’t make the finals this year.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the colours of the Plaid Tidings DSP. The colours are Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Cinnamon Cider, Crumb Cake, Mango Medley, Melon Mambo, Misty Moonlight, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Rich Razzleberry, Seaside Spray, Shaded Spruce and Whisper White. Now that’s a lot of colours but we don’t expect you to use them all. You may have hopped over from Monique’s blog, 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 to use four of the colours in my card today. Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze and Blackberry Bliss. I’ve also CASEd the technique from the top card on page 55 of the Annual Catalogue.

For the catalogue sample they’ve used the Hinge-Step Technique with the Stamparatus. I’ve made a slight variation to the technique.

I’ve stamped the snowflake image from Borders Abound stamp set three times using the Hinge-Step Technique. I’ve then spritzed it with water and waited for it to dry. Then I’ve stamped the same stamp in the spaces in-between. It’s quite an interesting effect for a background.

I’ve used the retired Owl punch to make my reindeer. His “antlers” are leaves from the In Good Taste Elements and I’ve added some Wink of Stella to them. It’s a bit difficult to capture the sparkle on them in my photo.

Marvi was a bit upset with me for leaving him home alone for 3 days. My wonderful neighbours fed him for me while I was gone. Apparently he threw himself on the floor when they arrived and wanted a belly rub each morning and night.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope everyone has had a good week and managed to get some crafting done. Christmas will be here before we know it, have you started making your Christmas cards yet?

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing a Halloween Project. You may have hopped over from Rebecca’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of each post.

I’ve used the “Happy Haunting” card on page 56 as my inspiration. I thought the diagonal DSP strips looked great.

I cheated a little and used some Forever Greenery DSP and cut it on the diagonal to get the same effect.

My card base is Pretty Peacock with layers of Real Red and Whisper White. Then I’ve got my DSP layer and a gorgeous laser cut floral piece from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper. These are just amazing and can be found on page 152 of the Annual Catalogue.

I’ve Gold heat embossed a sentiment from the Arrange A Wreath stamp set then die cut it with the Ornate Frames Dies. I’ve added a few Red Foil leaves to tie in with the Real Red card stock.
