Hi there
Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty for this week.

This week we are CASE-ing the colours of the Florals in Bloom DSP from the 2025- 2025 Annual Catalogue. You can see the colours and designs of this paper on page 43 .
I chose the project in the photo above from page 40 of the Annual Catalogue. This project captured my attention the first time I looked through the catalogue and I've been waiting for the Party Banners Dies to arrive to make my version.
I can think of a couple of different ways to make this project, but I decided to create a pocket on the front of a standard metric card, so the card would stand nicely to display the bouquet. I chose Petunia Pop for the card base and cut the 3rd largest banner from the Party Banners Dies from Petunia Pop as well. I trimmed the banner to the length I wanted and added some texture with the Forever Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. The sides of the banner were scored to the width of the card and folded under. I added the Iridescent Striped Ribbon finishing with a bow in the front, before adhering the panel to the front of the card base.
Once the base was done I got out the Pretty Florals Bundle and stamped a bunch of flowers in Petunia Pop, Timid Tiger, Darling Duckling and Strawberry Slush and cropped them with the coordinating dies. The stamps are two-step, so I stamped off the background colours to get the lighter tone. The background foliage uses a die from the Pretty Florals Dies and Summer Splash card stock which is also a colour in this paper. I decided on the Queen Anne's Lace die cut in white to add some contrast to all the colour and then arranged the die cuts in the 'pocket' that I created on the front of the card. I managed to get Secret Sea into the picture by using it to stamp the greeting from the Mixed Labels stamp set. It was cropped with the (retired) Tailor Made Tags Dies and attached to the bow with white Baker's Twine.
I have kept the inside simple with a white writing panel and the pretty larkspurs in the corner with a little Summer Splash foliage.
Just a reminder, if you do not already have a Demonstrator (in Australia) and would like your own complimentary hard copy of the catalogue, then fill in your details on the Request Catalogues page (click on the link) on my blog.
