Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been a busy week this week with work, classes, friends and family. I can’t believe it’s Sunday already and on Tuesday it’s the first day of Winter. I’m already feeling the cold here in Queensland.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from the All Occasions section of the Annual Catty, pages 10-59. 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 each post.

I’ve CASEd the “a little note” card on page 26. I love how the background is done with masking and blending brushes.

I’ve followed the layout of the sample card but changed the colour of the card base to Soft Succulent.

I’ve used Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent for the blended background and Evening Evergreen for the stamped images. The DSP is Sweet Symmetry, I think it works well with the Soft Succulent. The “gum nuts” have been Gold Heat Embossed then fussy cut.

I’ve added a Twine bow and used some retired Gold Wink Of Stella to flick some extra shine onto my card.

Marvi is in mid scratch but I do love the look on his face. Maybe next week we’ll get a better photo of him.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the technique, embossing. This could be either embossing with embossing powder or embossing with embossing folders. 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 each post.

I’ve CASEd the Ombre Gift Bag on page 28-29 of the Annual Catty but I’ve made my version into a card.

Instead of using the Pansy Petals Suite I’ve used the Sweet Symmetry Suite.

My card base is Night of Navy followed by a layer of Basic White. I’ve then used the checks folder from the Checks & Dots Embossing Folder 2 pack, to emboss some Pale Papaya In Colour Shimmer Vellum. This vellum is so shimmery it’s difficult to capture it in my photos.

I’ve used some Sweet Symmetry DSP and stamped the flower from the In Symmetry stamp set in Night of Navy, Calypso Coral and Pale Papaya. The sentiment is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set. I’ve added some Elegant Faceted Gems and some Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon.

Marvi is just loving the sun on his belly in this cooler Queensland weather. It’s hard to get a good photo of him posing with my card. His belly is looking particularly Pale Papaya today lol.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I hope you’ve enjoyed your weekend. The weather in Queensland has been beautiful this weekend although the night time temperature has dropped to 12 degrees, that’s cold for us Queenslanders. I think we’re in for a cold winter this year.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing a Die Bundle from the Mini Catty. You may have hopped over from Tina’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 CASed the butterfly card on page 80 of the Mini Catalogue, the third card in from the left.

I’ve changed the colours and used the new 2021-2023 In Colours. Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen.

My card base is Soft Succulent with a layer of Evening Evergreen. I adhered a 1.5cm strip of each of the new In Colours to a layer of Basic White. On another piece of Basic White I’ve used my Blending Brushes and diagonally coloured with the new In Colours. I made a stencil from Window Sheet and some retired circle punches then used a sponge dauber and Whisper White Ink to create a Bokeh effect over the top of my blended colours.

I White Heat Embossed three Dragonflies from the Dragonfly Garden stamp set then used the co-ordinating punch to punch them out. My sentiment is from the Lovely You stamp set and is also White Heat Embossed.

This is the best photo I could get of Marvi. He was enjoying the sun on his belly too much to pose for a proper photo.
