CASE-ing the Catty - New Mini Catty!
January 05, 2025
Hi there
Happy New Year and welcome back to CASE-ing the Catty for 2025!
The brand new 2025 January - April Mini Catalogue goes live on Tuesday 7 January together with the annual Sale-a-bration promotion. I look forward to sharing lots of the fun new products with you over the next few months. If you are in Australia and do not already have an active Demonstrator, I'd love to send you a complimentary copy of the new Mini Catalogue and Sale-a-bration brochure. You can fill in your mailing details over on my Contact Me page.
If you've come from visiting Kathryn, 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.
Because the Mini Catalogue is not LIVE to customers yet, we can only show you the front cover, which you can see in the photo above. So tonight, I'm taking my inspiration from the gorgeous products from the Wildflower Birthday Suite, which is on pages 42-45 of the Mini Catalogue if you have your own copy already. After creating with holiday products for the past months, the soft, pretty colours in this suite are such a breath of fresh air.
I've taken the basic layout from the project on the front cover (which I think is a box) to create my card. I started with a Basic White card base and chose one of the floral designs from the Wildflower Birthday 12 x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper with gold accents for the background. I added a tiny border of Pretty in Pink to help it pop from the white background.
On the reverse side of the floral design is the sweet Pretty In Pink gingham design. How often does it happen that your favourite designs are back to back? It seems to happen often for me and makes it SO hard as you always use them up quickly! I have added a mat of Basic White for the gingham panel with a tiny border and adhered it on a angle. The pierced border pocket shape is cropped from Basic White with the Birthday Celebration Dies and I popped it up on the gingham panel.
The Wildflower Birthday Speciality DSP has a sheet of coordinating pre-cut images that you can pop out for super quick embellishments on your projects. I have popped up the banner across the panels and used a variety of the floral elements to embellish the bottom corner of the pocket. Under the floral elements I have used some ofthe Gold 1 1/2" Open Weave Trim to add some texture. I have a cut a piece of the trim in half to create separate pieces that make it a little easier to place. The greeting from the Birthday Celebration stamp set was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink and then fussy cut and popped up. I finished the front with a few of the coordinating Party Dots.
I have used a leftover strip from the front of the card to create a border for the writing panel on the inside of the card. Another greeting from the Birthday Celebration stamp set was stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink in the centre and I added the pre-cut cupcake and flower embellishment in the corner to finish.
