CASEing the Catty #52 - 10 things I LOVE about Christmas mini - card with a difference, it's a mini album !!

Welcome to the Bloghop for this week. We are Casing items using Project Life but I seem to have gone off on a bit of a tangent ..... oh well, it's something different for me so that's a good challenge!

You may have arrived from the talented Julia Quinn's blog or you may be starting here. We hope you find something to inspire you along the way. Be sure and stop to check everyone's projects inspired by the Project Life Christmas range. There are lots of great products in this range which can be used for both scrapbooking and for card making.

I am not very good at using project life, ( hopeless at organising my photos),  nor I do I seem to be able to make anything simply (which project life is designed for) so this is a rather loose connection to the project life brief but I have been wanting to make these cards for a while. I was inspired by the picture on page 36 -


- with the numbers in the sparkling circles, and the idea of journalling a Christmas countdown.
So I have made a card with a difference - a mini album to journal Christmas memories, Christmas traditions, recipes,gifts, carols, games etc. It is titled "10 things I love about christmas" 

Front Cover
The first page, with the jump ring closed and the pages fanned out.
I have opened up the book and photographed groups of individual pages so you get the idea. Each page is numbered and says "i love", and has the Radial stamp from Kinda Eclectic in Mint Macarron. ( I masked the centre with a circle of card to give me space for the numbers).  All the pages are slightly different and have been decorated with scrap strips of DSP. It can easily be personalised by adding in photographs or other personal Christmas memorabilia. 


Turn the Mossy Meadow WISH page and you'll be surprised with what's next.




It's a different take on a Chritmas card but could easily be posted as it's small enough to fit in a regular D6 envelop.

xt on the hop is.....

New In colour 2025-2027 cards and the FABULOUS Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

Don't you love it when a single product creates enough elements to decorate a bunch of cards at one time? The Extraordinary Flora Washi tape is one of those products. I created these for my upcoming Catalogue Launch. I put the Washi onto Basic Beige to cut these flowers and love how it coordinates with the Basic Beige card base. To create these cards I trimmed 2.5cm from the front edge and adhered a 3.5cm strip of DSP to the inside of the card to give an added layer. These were easy to put together. Darling Duckling Secret Sea Strawberry Slush Timid Tiger Cloud Clover June 3 - 30 Stampin Up has an amazing offer where you can get 50% off any second product from a suite. So for example if you were to purchase the Extraordinary Flora Die you would be able to buy the tape at 50% off. Please reach out if you want more information on this great deal. You can see all the available suites in my online store. I am loving all the new colours.  I hope you have a creative week and remember,...

CTC#48 Who doesn't love new DSP

Welcome back to CASEing the Catty for this round. You may have come from Rachel's beautiful project  or you maybe starting here. There are lots of great posts to visit. This week we are using new Designer Series paper from the Holiday Catalogue - and who doesn't love a pack of new paper? The problem of course is which one to choose.... followed by the problem of actually having to CUT into a pristine pack. ....I know you all know what I mean. I have lots of photos for you today to try and show off some of the designs, but it's not easy to capture and they always look so much better in real life. I have purchased two packs - the Happy Haunting pack on page 47, which I was inspired to get purely from the background piece on the Lighthearted Leaves card on page 44. I don't celebrate Halloween, nor am I usually all that partial to Orange shades, but maybe that's changing! because I really like the designs. The pack has several papers that are specifically...

GDP #277 a gorgeous colour combination with Pretty Perennials

The Pretty Perennials Stampset is gorgeous to use on its own but the floral dies really do add a little something special. My card this week matches the colour challenge at the Global Design Project. I have stamped directly onto the Oh so Ombre DSP which is a free Sale A Bration item with a qualifying purchase for the rest of this month. I love the tone on tone stamping for added depth. I have gone over the Happy with Wink of Stella but it's not easy to photograph. The teeny heart is a teeny leftover of some retired Blushing Bride Glimmer paper and I have also incorporated other retired embellishments like the library clip and crystal button - I do love to use them up. Pink and florals - a perfect match. Here's what I used. Product List Pretty Perennials Photopolymer Stamp Set [ 154435 ] $31.00 Pretty Perennials Bundle [ 156234 ] $78.25 Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [ 155225 ] $0.00 Roco...
