Hello and welcome to my blog. I’ve had such a busy week with work and classes. Work is particularly busy with the end of the financial year nearly upon us. This might just be an accountant thing but Happy EOFY for Wednesday.

This week we are CASEing a Retiring Project 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.

This week I’m CASEing the Hydrangea card on the right hand side of page 23 of the Mini Catty.

Instead of using Hydrangea Hill DSP I’ve used Expressions In Ink DSP.

My card base is Evening Evergreen. I’ve used the Curvy Dies to die cut the patterned edges of some Soft Succulent card stock then I’ve layered them on some Gold Foil Sheet.

I’ve used Stazon to stamp the little bird on some Gold Foil. I’ve die cut the leaves in Evening Evergreen and Gold Foil then added a Gold Simply Elegant Trim bow. Can you ever have too much Gold??? I hope not lol. The sentiment is stamped in Evening Evergreen.

Marvi has mostly kept out of trouble this week, although he was a bit of a pest at class on Friday when he decided he wanted to sit in the middle of the classroom table.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing any card featuring food. 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 chosen the strawberry card on the right hand side of page 43 as my inspiration but I’ve replaced the strawberries with flowers.

I’ve stamped the “abstract watercolour” looking stamp from the Artistically Inked stamp set in Memento Black on some Basic White card stock. I really love how simple black stamping on white card stock turned out.

The flowers were stamped in Polished Pink ink which was stamped off once before stamping. I’ve added some Wink of Stella to them which you can’t really see in the picture. The leaves were die cut in Soft Succulent using the co-ordinating Artistic Dies.

The sentiment is stamped in Soft Succulent and I’ve added some Silver Metallic Mesh Ribbon for a touch of bling.

Marvi was not happy with the card being on his mat. Here he is telling me to move it or lose it.

Hello and welcome to my blog. How was your weekend? I know I’ve been complaining about how cold it’s been here in sunny Queensland. I’ve just spent the weekend at the Bunya Mountains, crafting with three girlfriends. It was so very cold but we had a lovely fire burning 24/7, keeping us nice and warm.

This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing from the Birthday section of the Annual Catalogue, pages 60-67. 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 used the “fluttering by just to say hi” card on page 63 as my inspiration.

I liked the wreath of butterflies but I decided to use less butterflies than the sample card.

My card base is Balmy Blue with another Balmy Blue layer, which I die cut with the gorgeous new Stitched Greenery Die. I die cut a stitched rectangle frame from Basic White then die cut a circle in Balmy Blue. I used the Symmetrical Stems Border Punch with True Love DSP to create the black and white wreath around my circle.

The butterflies are die cut from the Sand and Sea DSP using the Meadows Dies. After cutting the butterflies I left the die on the DSP then used a Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker to draw around the die on the wings. I also edged the butterflies in black. The sentiment is White Heat Embossed on Basic Black card stock.

Mr Marvi has been in big trouble this week. He managed to get himself stuck on the roof of the house on Wednesday night. His collar got caught on something and he couldn’t get down. Luckily he was near the edge of the roof and I could reach him from a ladder. I managed to free his collar but I couldn’t get him off the roof. He eventually got down around 8pm that night.
