Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we have a sketch challenge, using an image on page 4 of the Sale-a-bration Catalogue. 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.

Here’s a breakdown of the sketch.

I love a sketch challenge as I think there are so many possibilities with such a great layout.

The sample card looks like it has a checkered pattern for the background so I’ve used a brand new background stamp called Drizzling Droplets. It’s an Online Exclusive product and will be available to order on 5 March 2024. I think it looks like the pattern the rain makes when it hits the window, what do you think? The flowers are from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set and I’ve coloured them with Blends, Balmy Blue, Flirty Flamingo and Old Olive.

I’ve used the co-ordinating Thoughtful Expressions Dies to die cut my image. I’ve added some Silver Festive Pearls to the centres of the smaller flowers. The sentiment has been stamped in Memento Black and has been fussy cut.

Marvi was hanging out in my craft room while I was making this card. I think he was actually enjoying the air conditioning, it’s been so hot and humid here in Queensland this summer. I’m really looking forward to Autumn and some cooler weather.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been a very non productive week in my household as both my partner and I have had Covid. I guess we’ve been quite lucky as it’s the first time for both of us. It hasn’t been fun however we’re both starting to feel better and should be back at work tomorrow.

This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing a Project from either Catalogue that Features Dies. 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 chosen to CASE a card from page 25 of the Mini Catty.

I do love this card however I don’t have the Perennial Lavender DSP yet so I’ve used some Softly Stippled DSP from the SAB Catty.

My card base is Pool Party followed by a layer of Basic White. I’ve used the Perennial Postage Dies and one of the Basics 3D Embossing Folders on this layer.

I’ve chosen a few of the DSP pieces with the same colours keeping the card Pool Party and Wild Wheat. I’ve added in a few butterflies and a sentiment from the Perennial Postage stamp set.

Marvi has been on his best behaviour this week. He knows we’re not feeling well and he’s given us lots of cuddles to help us recover.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we are back CASEing from the Sale-a-bration Catalogue. 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 the post.

I’ve CASEd the “Sending Hugs” card on page 6 of the SAB Catty.

I have used some of the same products that I used on last weeks card however this weeks card looks so different. I’ve also changed the card from landscape to portrait.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Basic White that’s been embossed with the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder from the SAB Catalogue. The sample card uses the Flight & Airy DSP which has been die cut using the Countryside Corners Dies. I wondered what the Flight & Airy DSP would look like with the Lifetime of Love Dies, adhered to a Countryside Corners Die. I’ve seen a lot of cards where the image has been fussy cut from the DSP, this card looks just as good but with no fussy cutting.

I’ve added a sentiment from the Gorgeously Made stamp set, I’ve only used the word “friend” from the stamp “You’re A Great Friend”. I’ve also added a few Loose Silver Sequins.

Mr Marvi was not too happy taking a picture today. He was sitting outside the laundry, which is where he gets fed, and he was telling anyone that wants to listen how hungry he was. He has had breakfast, dry food and snacks and it’s only 9.30am.
