CASE-ing the Catty | #ctc563 | Case-ing the Easter Joy Suite Pgs 34 - 37

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

 If you've come from Monique Fielder's blog, welcome; if you've started here with me, also welcome. It's so good to have you here. 

This week we are CASE-ing the super fun and super cute Easter Joy Suite found on pgs. 34 - 37 of the 2026 Stampin' Up! January - April Mini Catalogue.

So cute, right? Loving the pastel colours together!

 

This is the sample from this suite that caught my eye to CASE this week. I love the smaller top layer of DSP with the layering of different patterns underneath. Super fun! 

I've used some new products that will be coming out in the new Stampin' Up! May - August 2026 Catalogue. These products are from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Suite Collection. This suite is all about adding playful borders, labels, and accents to your scrapbooking layouts and cards. From bold silhouettes to cheerful pops of colour, each piece works together to bring out the beauty of everyday stories. Add ink, cardstock, and adhesive to complete your projects.

I've kept my card quite Clean and Simple today as I wanted the floral silhouette to be the main focus of the card. I love how it stands out agains the patterns of the DSP. I've layered it with some of the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP and the used some of the dies from the Bordered in Beauty Dies to create a patterened border as well. I've finished the card off with some of the super pretty Array of Dots embellishments, also from the Beautiful Ordinary Life Suite, and my favourite and the ever trusty Linen Thread.

I hope that you like my CASE of the original card and like some of the new products to put on your wishlist, that will be available come May 5th

 Next up on the hop is the amazing and lovely Andrea Sargent.

CASE-ING the Catty | #ctc555 | CASE a Template Pg.17

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

 If you've come from Rochelle Laird-Smith's blog, welcome; if you've started here with me, also welcome. It's so good to have you here. 

This week we are CASE-ing the templates found on pg.17 of the 2026 Stampin' Up! January - April Mini Catalogue.

Do you use the templates in the catalogues? I love the templates in both the Annual and Mini Catalogues. They are a fantastic tool and sometimes just the inspiration that you need to get creating. They really have helped me of late. I'm in a bit of a crafting slump at the moment and by having the templates as a source of inspiration they are just the thing I've needed to get those creative ideas flowing.

It's quite obvious which template I've used for my card today. I was inspired by the top left template but as I do with sketches/templates I've changed it up a little bit to suit my crafting style. I've used products from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar but you could use whatever products you wanted - new or retired, to recreate this card.

I love that with this card I've used products that were all either pre-printed/pre-embossed or already die-cut. I love these sorts of products ,like the ephemera packs, because it makes for quick crafting. You are only limited by your imagination in how you put them together. Instead of a square on the front of the card like the template I've used a rectangle card and then I've layered the rectangle differently to the square on the front. All round I've kept the basic design on the template, I've just given it a little 'Rochelle' spin.

Next up on the hop is the fabulous Julia Quinn.

CASE-ing the Catty | CTC #545 | CASE Online Exclusives

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

 If you've come from Peta Stephen's blog, welcome; if you've started here with me, also welcome. It's so good to have you here.

This week, we are CASE-ing the samples from the Online Exclusive products on the Stampin' Up! website and as the name suggests, these samples can only be found online.

 This is the sample that I have chosen to CASE this week. I was drawn to the card's simple design and layout, and as I looked at it, I got ideas for how I could use the design with the products I already had. The original sample uses products from the Hobby Haven Suite, but I've used the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP. It includes full-sheet designs, cut-apart designs for card fronts and tags, and pre-cut images for quick accents.

I've made my cards a little different from the original sample by adding a few extra layers, and each card needs layers. I've also added some die-cut Stylish Shapes circles instead of the banner the O.G. sample had.

I've stepped up my cards by adding ribbon, trim, and embellishments to add that extra bit of prettiness.  I really love how with one pack of DSP you can make some amazing cards or scrapbook pages with minimal stamping or no stamping, as with my cards today! Stampin' Up! has some stunning DSP packs, and they make it easy to make beautiful creations. Let's get to using them! 

I hope that you have enjoyed my CASE of the Online Exclusives sample.  Next up on the hop is the fabulous Judy May.  Be sure to give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog hop love.

CASE-ing the Catty | CTC #537 | Case Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection p21-27

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

If you've come from Julia Quinn's blog, welcome; if you've started here with me, also welcome. It's so good to have you here.  

 This week, we are CASE-ing the samples from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection that can be found on pgs.21-27 of the Stampin' Up! 2025 Sept-Dec Mini Catalogue.

 I was drawn to this card in the landscape orientation. I love the simplicity of the design with the use of DSP across the front of the card and then the angled flowers with the sentiment in the middle. So with those design elements and the Christmas Tags & More 6"x6" Specialty Designer Series Paper, I've created a bright and fun Christmas card for you.

 

 

This paper pack provides a unique assortment of paper and precut images, making it easy to coordinate colours and images on your Christmas cards and gift tags. It includes full-sheet designs, cut-apart designs for card fronts and tags, and precut images for quick accents. I loved the plaid/tartan sheet in the DSP and wanted to use that with my base layers of Garden Green and Basic White Cardstock. I've then added another pattern from the DSP to coordinate the whole look.

I've accentuated the card with some Real Red Ribbon that is from the Traditions of Christmas Suite collection, and found it coordinated perfectly with the colours in the Christmas Tags & More Specialty DSP. Got to love it when products from suites coordinate with other products. 

I've finished the card off with some layering of die cuts, the Large Gold hoops that are so beautiful, the precut images from the Christmas Tags & More DSP, some Traditional Sparkling Sequins, and the heat-embossed Merry Christmas Sentiment from the Traditional Labels Stamp Set.

I really love how that with one pack of DSP you can make some amazing cards or scrapbook pages with minimal stamping! Stampin' Up! has some stunning DSP packs, and they make it easy to make beautiful creations. Let's get to using them! 

I hope that you like my CASE of the sample from the Traditions of Christmas Suite Collection.  Next up on the hop is the fabulous Judy May. Be sure to give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog hop love.

CASE-ing the Catty | ctc#521 | Case Colours from the Florals in Bloom DSP

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

  If you've come from Monique Fielder's blog welcome, if you've started here with me, also welcome. It's so good to have you here. 

This week we are CASE-ing the colours from the Florals in Bloom DSP - Darling Duckling, Petunia Pop, Secret Sea, Strawberry Slush, Summer Splash, and Timid Tiger.

Darling Duckling

Petunia Pop

Secret Sea

Strawberry Slush

Summer Splash

Timid Tiger

Of the six colours that we are to use this week, I've only used 4. I personally thought it was a little too much to try and fit all the colours on a project. And I may have added a colour too. It's in the list of colours on the DSP but not in our colour list to CASE. Please forgive me. When CASE-ing the Florals in Bloom DSP, why not actually use the Florals in Bloom DSP for your project? The colours are all there. Why make it harder than it has to be?

 Today I've made a 5" x 5" square card for you using the Florals in Bloom DSP and also products from the Florals in Bloom Suite Collection. I've used a Basic White card base and also used Basic White for the layers also and then picked two patterns from the Florals in Bloom DSP that matched the colours that we were to use for our creation this week. The bottom layer is the new Secret Sea colour and the next layer is the returning Strawberry Slush. I love how well these two pattens go together especially with the Basic White layers in between.

 

The next layer I've used the ever classic Stylish Shapes dies to die cut a square and then, its a little hard to tell, I've embossed it with the Mini Corrugated Embossing folder and added some Darling Duckling Splatters. I've finished the card off with some Strawberry Slush and Garden Green Flowers from the Pretty Florals Dies, added the die cut and heat embossed sentiment using the Sweet Blooms Bundle and a few Strawberry Slush Gems.

I hope you like my CASE of the Florals in Bloom DSP colours and are inspired for your next creation. Next up on the hop is the fabulous Julia Quinn. Be sure to give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog hop love.

CASE-ing the Catty | ctc#518 | Case Front Cover 2025-2026 Annual Catalogue

 Hello Stamping Friends. Welcome to a super exciting CASE-ing the Catty Blog Hop. We at CASE-ing the Catty are about CASE-ing the samples from the Stampin' Up! Catalogues (Catty) with a different theme to CASE each week. To CASE is to Copy and Selectively Edit.

 If you've come from Julia Quinn's blog welcome, if you've started here with me also welcome. It's so good to have you here. 

This week we are CASE-ing the front cover of the new 2025-2026 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue that goes live to customers this week on 6th May. Yay! New catalogue and new products! Love that!

I was inspired by this sample from the front cover. I love the simplicity of the design with the use of DSP across the front of the card and then the angled flowers with the sentiment in the middle. So with those design elements and the new Floral Impressions DSP, (which will also be available to purchase 6th May as an Online Exclusive), I've created a bright and fun Thank You card.

Floral Impressions 12"x12"DSP

The Floral Impressions DSP showcases bright blooms and lush leaves, while the coordinating pattern sheets provide a delicate touch of texture and contrast. Here for my card I've used some of the patterned sheets as the base layers of the card trying to keep with the same design elements as the sample card. I tore the Darling Duckling design for an added element and for added interest. With that I've layered one of the die cuts from the Impressions Abloom Dies and then embossed the centre panel with the Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder. These two products are part of the Floral Impressions Suite that the Floral Impressions DSP also comes from. With all these products together, it is such an amazing suite!

The flower and leaf images have been fussy cut from the Floral Impressions DSP. The flower images in this DSP are so stunning and they really pop off the card when fussy cut like this. I've added some Impressions Abloom die cut leaves as well for some extra layering.

I've finished the card off with some Linen Thread, an embossed sentiment, and some Gems from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty in Pink Gems. 

I really love how that with one pack of DSP you can make some amazing cards or scrapbook pages with minimal stamping! Stampin' Up! has some stunning DSP packs and they make it easy to make beautiful creations. Let's get to using them! 

I hope that you like my CASE of the sample from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. Next up on the hop is the fabulous Kathryn Mangelsdorf. Be sure to give her some CASE-ing the Catty Blog hop love.
