G’Day Friends,

Can you believe another week has flown by which means it’s time for another Caseing the Mini Catalogue.

This week is our last of this series so I do hope you have enjoyed it & gotten a lot of ideas & inspiration from our shares.

This week, we are caseing the card on Page 55 of the January-April Mini Catalogue. I’ve just realised that it is actually on the next page to the one we did last week. How funny is that as it wasn’t planned to happen like that.

Part of the surprise about doing our layouts is that neither Robbie or myself know what the other is using on their project as all we have is the Sketch Layout we have created to match the card we are caseing.

If you use Letter size, then head over to Robbie’s Blog to grab her measurements – bearing in mind, they may be a completely style card to mine – while here I will have the Letter Size – Metric & Imperial – for my project.

To download your preferred layout, all you have to do is click on the images, save to your PC or print on A5 paper & save in your Sketch Layout Folder to use over & over again.

I will be the first to admit that I wasn’t too sure where my card was heading when I started out but we got there in the end. Does that ever happen to you?

I am loving the Country Gingham DSP from the Mini Catalogue so much that I’ve just about gone through 2 packs. In saying that, I am a huge fan of gingham so this Designer Series Paper suits me to a “T”.

What do you think of the Vellum overlay? Doesn’t it just soften the card? I always forget about using my Vellum until I’ve completed the project but to my amazement I’ve actually remembered for this one.Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our Sketch Layout for Week 4. Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

Country Floral Lane DSP by Stampin’ Up!

Published on February 19, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today. It is very much appreciated.

It’s time for Week 3 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue! Today’s Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 54 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

Now, neither Robbie or myself know what the other is using on their project as all we have is the Sketch Layout we have created to match the card we are caseing.

To download your preferred layout, all you have to do is click on the images, save to your PC or print on A5 paper & save in your Sketch Layout Folder to use over & over again.

Now, I will admit that my card today is totally different to what I was actually going to create but hey that can happen, right?

I’ve gone for the lovely Country Floral Lane DSP along with the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo & the Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to use on my card. The Base Card is Sweet Sorbet while the layer of Crumb Cake is not on the list of colours, it does blend nicely.

Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our Sketch Layout for Week 3. Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

Hydrangea Haven by Stampin’ Up!

Published on February 12, 2023February 25, 2023 by Vicky Wright1 Comment

G’Day Friends,

Thanks so much for dropping by today. It is very much appreciated.

Did you see our Week 1 of Caseing the Mini Catalogue last Sunday? Today, we are back for Week 2, but of course with a completely different case.

Today’s Sketch Layout has been taken from Page 62 of the January-April Mini Catalogue.

Now, neither Robbie or myself know what the other is using on their project as all we have is the Sketch Layout we have created to match the card we are caseing.

To download your preferred layout, all you have to do is click on the images, save to your PC or print on A5 paper & save in your Sketch Layout Folder to use over & over again.

To decide on the size of my card, I went by the Slimline Envelopes from the Annual Catalogue, Page 137.

My hand went straight to the Hydrangea Haven Stamp Set, which I must admit haven’t used in some time so that is a good thing, right? I went with the colours of the layout as another starting point but of course as they do, the card took a life of its own.

The paper comes from the Dandy Designs DSP, Level 2 of 2023 Sale-a-Bration. I just love these papers.

I must admit that the Dies & Stampin’ Blends have done most of my work for me. I’ve let them shine!

Since the video was created, I’ve added a few more elements to my card since the video, ie White Baker’s Twine & Pearls which I think help finish the card.

Be sure to watch the video to find out!

I hope you have enjoyed my take on our 1st Sketch Layout this week. Be sure to visit Robbie’s blog to find out what she created from the Sketch.

To see Week 1, be sure to click HERE.

Don’t forget to join us again next Sunday for another fun Case from the Mini Catalogue.

Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

Published on January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’Day Friends,

I hope you have enjoyed my projects created with the Dainty Delight Bundle & the Danity Flowers DSP this month. Today is my last share but if you would like more inspiraton on this Bunde & Papers, be sure to check out the pervious project links along with the video links below.

To create my project, I’ve chopped 2 pieces of the DSP & adhered them to a piece of Basic White Cardstock with a small amount of Basic White showing around all sides of the DSP.

The coloured elements on the card have all been die cut from Rich Razzleberry, Crushed Curry & Fresh Freesia Cardstock with the Danity Delight Dies. Love it when the dies can do all the work for you & blend in so perfectly with the gorgeous DSP.

The sentiment is from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set, stamped onto Basic White Cardstock with Mossy Meadow Ink before being die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies.

It was then adhered to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals before randomly adhering Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots to the card front too.

Inspirations in Ink January Blog Hop

Published on January 25, 2023January 26, 2023 by Vicky Wright6 Comments

G’Day Friends,

Thank you for dropping by where once again it’s time for our Inspirations in Ink Blog Hop.

Welcome to January where we are showcasing the oh so gorgeous Seaside Bay Bundle. I have loved playing with this Bundle so much that I know you will too.

You may be starting here – Vicky Wright, Australia – or have come from another blog. Either way, you can find our Blog Roll at the end of this post, especially if you get a little lost. All you have to do is click on the links to follow along.

Chcek out this cute little Seagull! Don’t you think he is just the cutest? To achieve this look, I inked the image with Sahara Sand Ink, prior to randomly daubing Night of Navy Ink over the feathers with a Sponge Dauber.

The sand/seahells image was stamped direct onto a piece of Very Vanilla Cardstock with Sahara Sand Ink. Yep, you read right! I wanted to play & create with Very Vanilla Cardstock instead of Basic White Cardstock which is what coordinates with the By the Seaside Designer Series Papers. I think it worked out perfectly, but you be the judge.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project today. I have a few more projects to share with you throughout February along with the Bundle Focus Online Class all created with this gorgeous Bundle.

As mentioned above, this is a blog hop. I know you will see amazing projects created with this Bundle along the way. Of course, don’t forget to leave a little comment or 2 as you go.
