CASE-ing the Catty - Fave Annual Catty Project
April 20, 2025
Hi there
Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty for this week.
Happy Easter Sunday to you! However you choose to spend the day, I hope it will be joyful and in the company of loved ones. Yesterday I made some yummy treats for us and this year I made some caramel first and then made the chocolate and put them together in some cute molds. A little fiddly, but I love that I am eating a healthier treat made with ingredients I chose.
If you've come from visiting Monique, then welcome! If you're visiting me, I appreciate you stopping by today! You can continue your journey to see the other inspiring creations from the CTC Crew by clicking on the button at the bottom of the post.
This week we are CASE-ing our favourite project from the 2024- 2025 January Annual Catalogue. We are winding down towards the end of our current catalogues with only 2 more weeks until the brand new Annual Catalogue is live to customers.
I have actually chosen my favourite products from the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue and I was sooooo disappointed that they are being retired. I'm talking about the Country Woods Suite Collection which comprises the Country Flowers Bundle and Country Birdhouse bundle. I love all the imagery and extra detailed dies and the smaller scale sentiments that come in these bundles. They will find a home in my collection for the forseeable future. You can still buy the stamp sets and dies individually for both bundles in the Last Chance section at a discount.
The sweet little gift cards in the photo above caught my eye as I was flicking throught the catalogue. I cut strips of that sanded-back woodgrain paper a while ago and then didn't end up using it, so I thought it would be good to finally put it to use.
I started with the Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes as my base as they worked better with my pre-cut strips of background paper from the Country Woods DSP. I stamped a bunch of images from the Country Flowers stamp set and started colouring them with Stampin' Blends. I started with the tea pot in shades of grey to hopefully look like the light is shining on the silver surface. I stayed with cool colours for the flowers and then decided to go with Misty Moonlight for the mat. I heat embossed the greeting in white at the bottom before layering on the elements.
For the second card I stamped the milk churn onto another design of the Country Woods DSP and cropped it with coordinating die. I went with brighter colours for the flowers and added the sweet bird from the Country Birdhouse stamp set at the bottom and a mat of Pretty in Pink.
I have quite a few images left to colour, so I'm going to make a little set of these note cards in a gift pack.
