CASEing the Catty - #CTC283 - Trimming the Tree Designer Series Paper



This week at CASEing the Catty we are casing the colours in the Trimming the Tree Designer Series Paper - Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Pool Party, Poppy Parade, Early Espresso and Whisper White.

If you are starting the hop here welcome, or you may have come from Judy May.

I have cased the card on the far left of the picture, using the snow capped mountains as my background and then fussy cut out houses, trees and people from the various sheets in the Designer Series Paper pack for the foreground.  I added the sentiment from one of the papers that has lots of Christmas quotes in the different colours.

CASEing the Catty - #CTC CTC278 - Favourite 2020-2021 Annual Catalogue Project




Welcome to this week's CASEing the Catty, we are CASEing your favourite projects in this year's Annual Catalogue and wow there are so many amazing choices.

If you are starting the hop here welcome, or you may have come from Lauren Meiklejohn.








Each year in July, I start making my Christmas Cards large selection starting with my Christmas in July card classes a couple of weeks ago.

My very talented team member, Andrea Sargent loaned me her Peaceful Boughs and coordinating Beautiful Boughs Dies so I decided to case the card on page 61 of the Annual Catalogue utilising this bundle and the many shades of green.

My card base is in Soft Sea Foam and I have layered a piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper and then added the lovely sentiment and ribbon in Very Vanilla.

I have die cut the pinecones in Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider and used the many foliage dies in the three shades of green - Pear Pizzaz, Garden Green and Just Jade and splattered these around the sentiment focal point, finally finishing off with the Red Rhinestones.

Stamp Set:  Peaceful Boughs
Ink:  Garden Green, Real Red
Cardstock:  Soft Sea Foam, Just Jade, Pear Pizzaz, Garden Green, Cajun Craze, Cinnamon Cider, Very Vanilla, Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper
Accessories:  Beautiful Boughs Dies, Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Vanilla Open-Weave Ribbon
