Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing the Country Woods Suite, pages 48-49 of the Annual Catalogue. 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.

My inspiration has come from the little “so lucky to know you” card on page 49. I’ve made my card the standard card size rather than a small square card like the sample.

My card base is Crumb Cake followed by a layer of Country Woods DSP. I’ve stamped the little pail on Wild Wheat card stock then filled it with leaves. The leaves are die cut from the Season of Green & Gold Specialty DSP, which is part of a new Online Exclusive Suite, to be released on 3rd July 2024. This DSP is exactly as it’s described, green and gold, which are very Australian colours.

Don’t you just love the gold foil accents in the SDSP? The Golden Greenery Dies cut several of the leaf images directly from the SDSP, you gotta love that. I’ve added an Adhesive-backed gold Dragonfly to tie in with the gold in the leaves.

It was a sunny day in Queensland today however it was cool and windy outside. Marvi decided outside was not for him so he sat inside in the sun while I was outside taking photos in the cool wind. He’s such a smart boy.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing a Technique. There’s so many options, what is your favourite technique? You may have hopped over from Andrea’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 a paper piecing technique which is used on the “friend” card on page 42 of the Annual Catalogue.

I don’t have the Full Of Life DSP yet so I’ve used some Thoughtful Journey DSP.

I’ve created the word “Celebrate” by cutting some thin strips of Boho Blue, Petunia Pop and Pool Party card stock. Then I’ve adhered them to some adhesive sheet then die cut my word using the Wanted To Say dies. I love the colours in this piece of DSP.

I’ve stamped the small stars directly on the DSP using Blueberry Bushel ink, stamped off. The stars are from the Round We Go stamp set. I’ve also added some Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon and some Basic Rhinestones. The sentiment is from a retired stamp set called Phrases For All.

Marvi was having a quiet nap in the early morning sunshine. He’s funny to watch as he moves from place to place, chasing the sun. He’s having a look at the world upside down day today.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we’re CASEing from the Bundles Section, page 57-73. 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 Spotlight On Nature Bundle from page 69 of the Catalogue however I’ve changed it up by using some Mediterranean Blooms DSP.

The “Dear Friend” box caught my eye so I’ve taken my inspiration from that.

I’ve used a Misty Moonlight card base followed by a layer of DSP. I have the Spotlight On Nature Dies however I don’t have the Spotlight On Nature stamp set. I’ve fussy cut the orange images from the Mediterranean Blooms DSP instead of using flowers.

The sentiment is from the Labeled With Love stamp set and is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink. I’ve also added a few Champagne Iridescent Dots.

Marvi wasn’t too keen for a picture this week. I’m looking after Mike again, my friends dog. Marvi was keeping one eye on Mike at all times, just in case.
