Hello and welcome to my blog. This week we’re CASEing our favourite retiring bundle from the Mini 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.
I’ve chosen a card in the bottom left hand corner of page 35 of the Mini Catty which uses the Dahlia Days Bundle.
Instead of a square card I’ve made mine into a C6 size card. I’ve kept the layout fairly similar to the sample card.
My card base is Soft Succulent then I’ve added a piece of Symbols of Fortune SDSP and a thin strip of Calypso Coral card stock. The flower and leaf images are from the Dahlia Days stamp set and are stamped in Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight ink. I’ve then used the co-ordinating Detailed Dahlias Dies to die cut all of the images.
I’ve used the Vintage Bottle Punch to make the “pots” for all the flowers and leaves. I’ve modified each “pot” with my paper snips. I’ve fussy cut some small flowers and butterflies from the SDSP and popped them up on dimensionals to give my card some more depth. I’ve also added some For Everything Fancy Sequins. I will add a sentiment once I know the occasions this card will be used for.
Marvi was looking particularly handsome today as he posed with my card. I think the colour of the card base brings out the green in his eyes.
It’s time to hop over and see Judy’s wonderful creation. Just click on the next button below.

Oh, wow! Your card is fabulous. I love the look of the flipped circle half, and the tiny fussy cut DSP flowers and butterflies look amazing. Your eyes must be incredible!
Wow, such a lot of detail (and fussy cutting) in your lovely card, Peta. Marvi is looking very handsome this week. He has such a beautiful face, it’s hard to focus on the card, lol.
I love the way you modified the vintage bottle – I’ve actually been wondering what that would look like!! THANKYOU.
