Hello and welcome to my blog. Can you believe it’s only 4 weeks until Christmas? Have you made all your Christmas cards yet? If you haven’t, you might get some Christmas inspiration from this weeks CASEing the Catty blog hop. We are CASEing a non Christmas project from either catalogue and giving it a Christmas twist.

You may have hopped over from Michelle’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 to CASE the “You Have Been On My Mind” card, in the top left hand corner of page 51 of the Annual Catalogue.

I’ve kept very close to the layout but changed the colours, which is what CASEing is all about.

My card base is Basic Black with a layer of Smoky Slate. I’ve embossed the Smoky Slate card stock with the Hammered Metal embossing folder and torn the bottom edge, just like the sample card. I’ve added some Tidings of Christmas DSP and die cut a Christmas tree using the 2021-2023 In Colour Shimmer Vellum.

I’ve stamped the Deer, from the Peaceful Deer stamp set, directly onto some White Velvet Sheet then used the co-ordinating Deer Builder Punch to punch it out. This velvet is a retired product from a couple of Christmases ago but there are Snowy White Velvet Sheets in the current Mini Catalogue which would work well. The deer’s antlers are punched from some Black Glitter Paper. The sentiment is from the Merriest Moments stamp set and is white heat embossed. I’ve also added some Soft Succulent 3/8″ Open Weave Ribbon.

I think this look on Marvi’s face was saying “what do you mean you stamped then used a punch on velvet, can you really do that?”.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing the colours of the beautiful Blackberry Beauty SDSP. The colours are Polished Pink, Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Early Espresso, Cinnamon Cider and Gold. You may have hopped over from Michelle’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 loosely based my card on the Kraft Gift Box on page 36 of the Mini Catalogue.

If you came to my classes this month you may recognise this card, only in different colours.

My card base is Early Espresso with layers of Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss and Cinnamon Cider. The Cinnamon Cider layer has been embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D embossing folder. The sentiment has been gold heat embossed on Blackberry Bliss card stock. I’ve used the end of the Everyday Label Punch to create the punched shape.

The trees are die cut from Blackberry Beauty SDSP using the Christmas Tree dies. I’ve also added some Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon and Gold Foil baubles.

Mr Marvi was chilling outside this morning so I got a quick picture before he even realised what I was doing.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are CASEing any embossing project from either catalogue. This can be any kind of embossing you like, there’s so many projects to chose from. You may have hopped over from Julia’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 used the card in the bottom left hand corner of page 41 of the Annual Catalogue.

My card turned out very different to the sample project but I liked the embossed vellum and the sentiment.

My card base is Thick Basic White with a layer of Soft Suede then a layer of Vellum. The Vellum has been embossed with the Evergreen Forest 3D Embossing Folder.

The sentiment is from the Encircled In Warmth Stamp Set. Firstly I embossed it in gold on a piece of Basic White card stock then I embossed it in white on a piece of Soft Suede card stock. I’ve added the Soft Suede piece over the top of the Basic White piece. I’ve also added some gold leaves and sequins from the Expressions In Ink Ephemera Pack.

You can really see how beautiful the gold leaves shine in this picture. Marvi had to look away it was so shiny.
