Monthly Archives: September 2024

Hello and welcome to my blog. September has been such a busy month for me with sporting events, family getaways, trips to Melbourne and Covid. Unfortunately I’ve missed the last three blog hops however I’m back this week CASEing A Bundle, pages 39-50, from the Mini Catalogue.

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’ve chosen to CASE a card on page 43 which uses the Christmas Friends Bundle.

I’ve kept a similar colour scheme and layout however I’ve used the Reindeer Days Suite.

My card base is Pool Party followed by another layer of Pool Party which has been stamped in Versamark with some stars from the Reindeer Fun stamp set. I’ve used the Reindeer Fun Dies on this piece and added some Unbounded Beauty DSP behind it.

I die cut the reindeers from the Reindeer Days DSP however it had a light green border around it which didn’t really go with the card so I fussy cut the green border off. The “presents” are die cut in Real Red, Old Olive and Garden Green. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Season stamp set and is stamped in Real Red. To finish off my card I’ve added some Real Red & White Adhesive-backed Peppermints.

Marvi is back posing with my card. Did you miss him? He certainly missed me when I went to Melbourne. Don’t worry, he had a live in sitter while I was away. Talk about a spoilt puss haha.

Hello and welcome to my blog. It’s been a very busy day here today with Father’s Day, my younger sister’s Birthday and it’s also the first day of Spring. Spring has welcomed us with a 33 degree day, it feels more like goodbye winter and hello summer.

This week we’re CASEing a Watercolour Technique. There’s so many different samples of watercolouring in our Annual Catalogue, what’s 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 used the “Happy Anniversary” card on page 57 for my inspiration. Oh, did I mention yesterday was my parent’s 61st Wedding Anniversary, what a busy weekend.

The sample card uses the Layers of Beauty Bundle however I’ve used the Enduring Beauty Bundle.

My card base is Thick Basic White followed by a layer of Soft Sea Foam. I’ve added another layer of Basic White which has been embossed with the new Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I’ve White Heat Embossed the large flower image from the Enduring Beauty stamp set then used the co-ordinating masks to watercolor in Bubble Bath, Petunia Pop, Old Olive and Garden Green ink. I may have added too much water as some of the colours blended together while using the masks but I think it adds an interesting effect. I have touched up a few places after finishing with the masks.

I’ve cut the large flower image into two pieces then added a few Garden Green leaves behind them. I’ve added some Iridescent 1/2″ Striped Ribbon behind the sentiment. The sentiment is from the Cheerful Daisies stamp set.

Marvi didn’t look all that impressed with my card this week however I love how it turned out. And look at me using pink tones two weeks in a row, I’m really not a pink girl.

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 Rebecca’s wonderful creation.
