Oh, I think Autumn is coming to Queensland, finally! It’s getting a bit chilly here in the mornings and evenings. I love to snuggle under my crochet blankets!

This week, we are saying farewell to the 2023 – 2024 Annual Catalogue. There are lots of fabulous products that are retiring so make sure you grab your favourites by 30 April 2024.

I decided to case a card from page 82 which uses the He’s All That bundle.

I love this bundle and am sad to see it go. For my card, I changed out the colours to Misty Moonlight as the base card. I still used the Exposed Brick embossing folder and ran my Misty Moonlight ink pad over the embossed card so that it had a bit more texture. I then cut out some of the die shapes from the All that Dies and I used the Let’s Go Fishing DSP as I liked the colours and I had scraps in the right size! I also used some metallic foil that I had left over. I then stamped in Misty Moonlight and Basic Gray and die cut them out. Then it was just a matter of assembly with dimensionals and glue dots. I also used some matte black dots as well.

I hope you’ve enjoyed our final hop of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue. Next up is Peta and Marvi.

We would love to see your creation so please share over on at our Facebook Group.

Welcome to another week at Caseing the Catty. I’ve had an “exciting” weekend. My husband managed to injure his shoulder whilst using his scooter on Friday night. He was avoiding a spider and managed to fall off. We ended up going to the hospital on Saturday afternoon as the pain was getting worse. Many hours later, with a diagnosis of a fractured shoulder, we got home and were in bed at mid-night!

So we are casing our Favourite retiring punches from either catalogue.

I have loved the Inked and Tiled punch pack and I’m sad to see it go. Although these two punches will not be leaving my collection! My card today is cased from page 94 of the 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue.

At the recent Onstage event for demonstrators, I was lucky enough to receive the new Full of Life DSP, which is so bright and colourful! I used a piece of Berry Burst cardstock as my base and then added a piece of the DSP. I then punched out a couple of tiles from the paper and one from Basic White which I stamped my sentiment on from the Inked & Tiled stamp set in Berry Burst. I then cut the tiles in half and layered them behind the sentiment piece. In order to make it stand out from the DSP, I added a final tile in Berry Burst. A bit of white twine behind the sentiment and all done!

Such a bright and cheerful card! Next up is the very talented Judy May.

We would love to have you join us over on at our Facebook group and share your creation casing your favourite retiring punch.

Happy Easter! I hope you have had a lovely long weekend! And isn’t it great that we get another day off tomorrow!

We are casing the bundle section, pages 67-73 of the January-April 2024 Mini Catalogue.

There are lots of lovely samples for the bundles that you can purchase in the mini catalogue. I decided to case the card featuring the Perennial Postage bundle on page 72.

I selected this one as I thought it would be great to showcase one of the pretty designer series papers. It’s a great card idea to use up your scraps. I went with the Masterfully Made DSP as I love the bold colours. I started off with a base of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and cut out a number of different sizes of the Perennial Postage dies. I then played around with the layout and once I was happy with it, I glued it down using tombow glue. I then stamped a sentiment from the Colour & Contours stamp set in Blackberry Bliss. And that’s it! A nice and quick card but one that pops!

Next up is Peta and Marvi.

It’s already hard to get back to normal after a fun weekend with my stamping friends! But what was exciting is that my pre-order of new goodies arrived! There are so many gorgeous new goodies to play with!

We are casing another great sketch from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalogue on page 70.

This is such an easy sketch and there are so many ways you could use it.

I decided to use the Countryside Inn DSP and have that be the focus. I know I often get carried away with lots of details on cards, but you don’t need to do that all the time.

As we are coming up to Easter, I decided to focus on the paper featuring a bunny. I used one piece of DSP for the background and then die cut using the Everyday Details dies my feature DSP. I then added a border of Night of Navy. The sentiment is from a retired set, Fable Friends and is stamped in Boho Blue. Also die cut from the Everyday Details dies. And a bit of white twine behind it.

Next up is the lovely Rachel!
