4th of 5 CASEd Stampin' Up! Cards

If you have a wedding to attend and need a quick card, this is the one for you! It just takes some designer series paper, whisper white card stock, baker's twine, two stamps, ink and embossing powder.
Very easy, you can do it in 10 minutes if you are organized!

First cut your Whisper white card stock to 5 1/2" x 11". Then cut a piece of Lullaby Designer Series paper 5" x 5".

Use either VersaMark watermark ink or Gold Metallic Encore ink to stamp the sentiment. Emboss with Gold embossing powder and a heat tool. Stamp the heart on the opposite side of the sticky area of a sticky note. Cut the heart out. Stamp and emboss the left heart with the same ink and powder previously used. Cover the cooled heart with the sticky note mask. Stamp the second heart to the right and emboss with the gold E.P.

Cut a strip of chevron paper, from the Lullaby Designer Series Paper pack, into a banner; adhere to top left of stamped piece; adhere to the front of the folded Whisper White card.

Tie Baker's twine into a bow; adhere to right side of banner with a glue dot. Stamp coordinating greeting inside card. Sign, Seal, and Deliver!

This is the 4th card that I redesigned from the Stampin' Up! spring occasions catalog. Please come back tomorrow to see the final card.

3rd of 5 CASEd Stampin' Up! Cards

Hello,
Welcome back to my blog for the 3rd card in the series of Stampin' Up! CASEd cards.

Have you found all the cards, so far, in the Occasions catalog?

I used a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" folded Whisper White card stock base to build my card on, but it would look great using a Very Vanilla card base or the Naturals Ivory card stock for the base. I then layered a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Hello Honey card stock onto the base.

For the next layer I used Naturals Ivory card stock. I spritzed it with Delightful Daffodil reinker mixed with alcohol in a Stampin' Spritzer. You could use Hello Honey, I just used what I already had made up from a previous project. Then I used two different Gorgeous Grunge stamps. I stamped the medium size splatter several times with Hello Honey ink. Each time I stamped off once to remove some of the ink so it wouldn't be as intense when I stamped it on the paper. I then used the long stripe stamp with Tangerine Tango, also stamped off before stamping on the card. Then I sponged the edges with Tangerine Tango.

Next I used a Starburst framelit to cut a piece of Flowerpot Designer Series Paper. I adhered it to the Naturals Ivory card stock, tucking a piece of Hello Honey 3/8" stitched satin ribbon under the lower right corner, and used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges twice. Then I adhered the piece to the card base.

Then I used a sentiment from the Feel Goods stamp set and stamped with Jet Black Stazon ink onto a piece of Naturals Ivory card stock. After stamping the sentiment I used a circle framelit to cut it out (it just barely fits, so alignment is very precise). I used Hello Honey ink to stamp the sun rays from Kinda Eclectic stamp set, which I stamped off once first so that it wouldn't be as intense. I adhered the circle to the left side of the Sunburst background to complete the card.

That's it for today. I hope you are enjoying this series and will come back tomorrow to check out what I am up to!

Have a Wonderful Day!

2nd of 5 CASEd Stampin' Up! Cards

Welcome back to my series of CASEd cards.

CASE is a term used quite a bit by Shelli Gardner the co-founder of Stampin' Up! She encourages people to Copy And Share Everything. She doesn't necessarily mean that people should make identical copies of the cards that are in the Stampin' Up! catalogs, but she doesn't rule that out.

In this series I Copy the layout and switch out the paper, stamps, and ink.

Here's today's switch. Can you find the original in the Stampin' Up! Spring Occasions catalog?

I used Vanilla Naturals card stock as the base. Then I sponged hearts on it using the Decorative Hearts mask and Melon Mambo ink. I also sponged Melon Mambo ink around the outside edges of the card front.

The frame is a photo frame from the On Film framelit Big Shot die cutter set. I used Tempting Turquoise card stock.

The banner is die cut with the Banners framelit Big Shot die cutter set. I used Daffodil Delight card stock and stamped a sentiment from the Perfect Pennants set using Rich Razzleberry ink. I sponged Melon Mambo on the edges. Then I glued a strip of Sweet Taffy Designer Series paper to the top of the banner and cut 3 small banners from the same paper. I strung them all on a piece of white Baker's twine.
The heart is also from the Perfect Pennants stamp set. I stamped it with Melon Mambo ink and hand cut it. Then I cut a banner, with a Bitty Banner Framelit, from Rich Razzleberry card stock and stamped "friend" (from the Peachy Keen stamp set) on the heart. I layered the heart onto the Bitty Banner and adhered it to the card using Dimensionals.

Thanks for checking out my blog today. Please say HI! and come back to check out by blog tomorrow.

Have a Happy Stamping Day!

1st of 5 CASEd Stampin' Up! Cards

Hello,
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. Thanks for stopping to look at my blog.
Today I am sharing a card that is the first of 5 that I have "copied and shared" CASEd from the 2014 Stampin' Up! spring Occasions catalog.

The idea of CASE is not necessarily to replicate the card, but some aspects may be the same. In the case of the cards that I CASEd and will be sharing the next 5 days I copied the layout, a design aspect of the card, but switched out the papers, inks and stamps.

Can you find the card in the spring Occasions catalog that I CASEd today?

The base for this card is 5" x 5". On the front of the folded Whisper White card base I added a layer of red Designer Series paper. The Next layer is 4 3/4" x 4 3/4" and is spritzed with Real Red ink using a Stampin' Spritzer filled almost full of alcohol with 20 drops of Real Red reinker added.

Then I grabbed the new Decorative star mask and sponged some Hello Honey to add some stars to the spritzed background paper. Then I added 3 strips of Washi tape from the new Beach House set.

The Sentiment is from the Chalk Talk stamp set and I stamped it with Real Red ink and then die cut it with the matching framelit.

Thanks for stopping by. I would love to hear your comments.
Please drop by tomorrow to see the next card I CASEd
Have a Lovely day,

Patriotic Banner

I finally finished this patriotic banner that I was going to hang up for the month of July. I guess I will have to wait until next year. I started it before I left for vacation, but didn't get it all done.

The Rosettes were made from retired Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper. You can use the Brights Designer Series Paper stack instead. The banners were made with the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit.

The banners are real easy to make with the kit. The kit includes the stencils for the dots, lines, zigzags and letters. The kit also comes with 3 different banner shapes (6 each for a total of 18) and the twine to string them on.

The last time I used the kit was for a Christmas banner and I used the Stampin' Spritzers. They worked okay, but were a bit messy. I decided to try using the Stampin' Sponges to sponge on the ink this time and I think it worked just as well or better.

The huge rosettes are a bit tricky. I tried using some hot glue to hold them together. I punched a 2 1/2" circle and applied the glue to the circle, then tried to place it on the back of the rosette. Finally I tried using some Scotch quick dry tacky glue and my heat tool to warm it up, just a little, and then when it was set and not moving I applied hot glue under the circles where it met each ridge. What I really wished that I had available was the Jumbo Sticky Rounds from Stampin' Up! I could have just slapped it onto the back of the punched circle and then onto the rosette and voila' instant success! I am going to have to get some in my next order!

On the fronts of the rosettes I glued red and silver glimmer paper stars. I cut the stars with the new framelits.

Thanks for stopping by and checking it out!
