Yearly Archives: 2021

Hello and welcome to my blog. Can you believe it’s only 6 days until Christmas. Whatever your plans are this year I hope you have a relaxing day and get to spend precious time with your loved ones.

This will be our final CASEing the Catty blog hop for the year but don’t worry, we’ll be back with more inspiration next year.

I’ve made my final card of the year a Thank You card. It’s a thank you to all the people that have supported us over the last year. Thank you to my fellow design team members, thank you for all the lovely comments and likes for my creations and thank you for entering our challenges over the year.

We are CASEing from the Mini Catalogue one last time before it ends. 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 the post.

I’ve chosen the card at the top of page 20 but I’ve used new products from the January – June 2022 Mini Catalogue.

I’ve kept the colours and layout quite similar but used fabulous new products.

My card base is Old Olive and I’ve used the new Detailed Dahlias Dies to die cut the gorgeous floral image. The “thanks” is also from a new die set called Amazing Thanks Dies. I’ve used Mint Macaron and Soft Sea Foam and layered them over the top of one another.

I’ve stamped some flowers from the Dahlia Days stamp set, in Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride. The “so much” is from the In Bloom stamp set. I’ve also added some new Sparkle & Shine Sequins.

Mr Marvi had his stitches out on Friday which means he doesn’t need to wear the cone of shame anymore. I caught him mid yawn, recovering from surgery is so tiring but the vet said he’s doing really well.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Can you believe it’s just under 2 weeks until Christmas. The year has flown by, yet again.

This week at CASEing the Catty we have a sketch challenge. We’re CASEing the card on page 47 of the Mini Catalogue. You may have hopped over from Judy’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

Here is a breakdown of the sketch.

This is a great layout and I had so many ideas swirling around in my head. I ended up using the Peaceful Place Specialty DSP on my project because it’s too pretty not to use.

My card base is Basic Grey with layers of Peaceful Place SDSP and Smoky Slate. I’ve stamped the Smoky Slate piece in Memento Black using the Merriest Moments stamp set. The flowers are stamped in Blushing Bride and Pool Party and die cut with the co-ordinating Merriest Frames Dies.

I’ve added some Blushing Bride 3/8″ Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. The greeting is Silver Heat Embossed on Basic White card stock.

Poor old Marvi had a mast cell tumour removed from his head/face. Here he is showing off his stitches, I think he’s really rocking the new half shaved cat look lol. Half shaved face and half shaved tummy. His tummy was shaved for an ultrasound on his spleen. He’s doing really well and gets his stitches out on Friday.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we are CASEing our Favourite Mini Catalogue Bundle. You may have hopped over from Rachel’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

My favourite bundle is the Whimsical Trees Bundle. The stamp set and co-ordinating dies are just so versatile, you can’t go wrong with these Christmas Trees. You can create so many beautiful cards, I love them.

I’ve CASE’d the tree card in the top right hand corner of page 24.

My card base is Misty Moonlight with layers of Blushing Bride and Whimsy & Wonder SDSP. Two of my three trees have been die cut directly from the Peaceful Place SDSP. The third tree has been die cut from the Silver Specialty Foil.

This SDSP has not been made to co-ordinate with these dies but I think they work well.

The sentiment is from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set and I’ve used the Double Oval Punch to punch it out. I’ve also added some Metallic Mesh Ribbon.

Marvi was looking particularly handsome for todays photo. I may have told him I’d give him a treat afterwards.
