CASE-ing the Catty – Love, Thanks & Support
Hi there
Welcome to CASE-ing the Catty this week.
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 taking inspiration from the Love, Thanks & Support section of the 2023-24 Annual Catalogue.
I had the Countryside Corners Bundle on my craft desk, so I chose the project in the photo above for my inspiration. As you can see, it is a gift bag, but I went with a card instead.
I started by embossing a card-sized panel of Boho Blue card stock with the pretty Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder and adhered it to the white card base. I decided to frame my art panel instead of placing the patterned paper behind it, so I heat embossed the single Countryside Corners stamp in white on Night of Navy card stock and used the second and third largest of the Countryside Corners Dies to crop the frame and adhered it flat to the embossed card front.
The art panel was cropped with the fourth largest of the Countryside Corners dies to fit within the frame. I stamped the small flower spray in the corners using images from the Lasting Joy stamp set in Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake ink. The designs in this set coordinate with the Countryside Blossoms embossing folder. The larger flowers and leaves were stamped in Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake ink respectively and then fussy cut. I've used small banners cropped from Pecan Pie card stock instead of the ribbon to create the tails at the bottom. The art panel was popped up in the centre of the frame with Dimensionals and the flowers and leaves positioned in the corners. The greeting from the Wonderful Thoughts set is stamped in Night of Navy ink and cropped with the coordinating die and popped up in the centre. To finish, I added Irridescent Pastel Gems to the large flowers and a tiny Brushed Brass Butterfly.
For the inside, I have a Boho Blue mat for the writing panel. The flower spray was stamped in the top corner and I added a strip of the cute little flower border from the Countryside Inn DSP at the bottom. I had 2 fussy cut flowers left and popped them into the border.

Great use of the layering dies Judy! I like the dark layer between the embossed layers!
Just gorgeous. I love that you’ve converted a Guly bag to a card. Totally lovely. Julia.
Spectacular card! Love the embossing folder, it creates a soft texture to the background. I do believe the Lasting Joy stamp set is a great companion set with the Countryside Inn bundle.
Love how the frame stands out with its embossed stitching, drawing the eye to the stamping.
