CASEing the Catty - #CTC519 Case the Annual Catalogue

You have so much inspiration this week with the whole NEW 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue to CASE.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from Rebecca Scurr.

Today on Mother's Day I am creating a card remembering my dear mother who passed away some 26 years ago but it's only like yesterday, she loved flowers and the beautiful roses in the Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper are very much her.

I am CASEing the framed picture on page 56 which I have made into a card which I think would make a perfect sympathy card.

I started with a Very Vanilla card base and layered this with a piece of Mossy Meadow and a Very Vanilla frame which is from the Gallery Blooms Dies and I then added some texture with the Damask Design Embossing Folder and added a little Mossy Meadow ink with the Blending Brushes to the raised areas and then added the most beautiful DSP as the centrepiece.

Finally I added a double bow of soft ribbon and then added a sentiment and couple of floral die cuts from again the Gallery Blooms Dies in Cloud Cover and Mossy Meadow.

Stamp Set:  Beautiful Motifs

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow, Cloud Clover, Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Mossy Meadow

Accessories:  Cut 'n Emboss Machine, Gallery Blooms Dies, Ribbon

Thanks for stopping by this week and now it's time what Monique Fielder has created.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC518 Case the Annual Catalogue Front Cover

It's not long now that you will be able to purchase from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue and this week at CASEing the Catty we are featuring the front cover which gives you a sneak peak of all the amazing products which will be available from Tuesday.

Welcome to the blog hop or you may have come from the very talented Rochelle Blok.

I have chosen to case the card in the right hand corner which features a couple of the new colours, Cloud Cover and Secret Sea which team so well together.

I have a Secret Sea card base which I layered with a piece of Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper.   

To make the Basic White banner I just used my snips (as I don't have the new Dies), then stamped the flower from Gallery Blooms in Secret Sea and then masked off the image with a post it note and stamped the bloom again to form two flowers.  I coloured in the image with a Cloud Cover Stampin' Marker and the two shades of Spruce Blends.   With a piece of Shaded Spruce I white embossed the Hello sentiment from Beautiful Motifs.  

It was then time to added a piece of Linen Thread around the banner, add the sentiment with dimensions and a few of the Cloud Cover gems to complete the card.  

As the card base is a dark shade, I added a piece of Basic White and stamped the floral image again in Secret Sea.

Stamp Set:  Gallery Blooms, Beautiful Motifs
