Hello and welcome to my blog. This week at CASEing the Catty we have free rein to CASE absolutely anything from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue. With so much choice, what should I CASE?

You may have hopped over from Rebecca’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 ended up choosing to CASE the “hello” card on page 53, using the Unbounded Beauty Suite as I haven’t used this suite nearly as much as I would have liked.

I’ve changed my card to the normal C6 size, rather than a slimline card, and I’ve changed the colours slightly too.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Basic White which has been randomly stamped with a stamp from the Flowers of Beauty stamp set. Then I die cut two rectangle-ish shapes in Bubble Bath card stock using the Unbounded Love Dies. I’ve adhered a Basic White die cut using the Flowers of Beauty Dies and some small flowers stamped in Petunia Pop (stamped off) and Bubble Bath ink.

The sentiment is from the Unbounded stamp set and is stamped in Petunia Pop. I’ve also added a few Iridescent Faceted Gems to give my card a little sparkle.

Mr Marvi was in this weird sleeping position on the outdoor lounge. I took a quick pic so I didn’t disturb him.

Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing the colours of “To Market” DSP. The colours are Real Red Pumpkin Pie, Garden Green, Blackberry Bliss and Pecan Pie. You may have hopped over from Rochelle Blok’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 wanted to use the new Frosted Forest Decorative Masks for my project however I found it quite challenging to come up with a design which incorporated all of the colours in one card, so I made three cards instead. I’ve used the “bursting with happiness” card above as my inspiration.

I’ve made all of my cards 10.5cm square. This was my first card using Pecan Pie as my card base, followed by a layer of Wood Texture Specialty Paper. Have you spotted this gorgeous Wood Texture paper hiding on page 100 in the Annual Catty? I’ve used Garden Green ink for the trees with a Pecan Pie outline. I’ve coloured some Basic Rhinestones with a Real Red Blend.

My second card has a Blackberry Bliss card base followed by the same Wood Texture Specialty Paper. I’ve used Blackberry Bliss ink for the trees with the outline Gold Heat Embossed. The gold embellishments are made using some Metallic Enamel Effects Basics. I squeezed it out into little dots onto my silicone mat, left them to dry then added them to my card.

The last card has a Garden Green card base and some Pumpkin Pie trees with a Pecan Pie outline. Again I’ve coloured some Basic Rhinestones with a Garden Green Blend. This is my least favourite card, Pumpkin Pie Christmas Trees, what was I thinking?

Which one is your favourite? Surely not the Pumpkin Pie trees?

Marvi didn’t look like he liked any of my cards. I don’t think he was thrilled about posing with three cards this week.

I’m last on the hop this week so if you didn’t start at the beginning of the hop just click on the next button below and it will take you back to the start to Andrea’s wonderful creation.

Hello and welcome to my blog. I’m back with CASEing the Catty after taking last week off to go whale watching at Hervey Bay, Qld. It was an amazing experience with several whales coming right up to the boat. Marvi wasn’t too thrilled that we left him home for the weekend but he managed to survive on his own with his “grandparents” visiting twice a day to feed him.

We’re CASEing a Shaker Card this week. You may have hopped over from Rochelle Blok’s blog, make sure you visit all the Design Team’s Blogs by clicking on the “next” button at the bottom of the post.

There are a few shaker cards throughout the Annual Catalogue. I’ve chosen to CASE the “thank you” card on page 71.

This card uses the Loveliest Tree Bundle, which I don’t have, so I’ve used the Frosted Forest Dies instead.

My card base is Boho Blue followed by a layer of Thoughtful Journey DSP. I’ve made the shaker part of the card with the Nested Essentials Dies and some Window Sheet. I’ve filled the shaker with some Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat and Pretty Peacock leaves using the Lovely & Sweet Dies.

My trees are die cut in Basic Black using the Frosted Forest Dies and the sentiment is from the co-ordinating Frosted Forest stamp set.

Here’s Marvi doing what he does best……….sleeping. Don’t you just want to rub that belly?
