What is Your Favorite Season? - Stamp Crazy with Alison

Hello Stampers,

Patsy here for Just in CASE Thursday.

What is your favorite season? For me it is definitely summer but my husband loves Fall. This time of year the days get shorter and the temperatures drop lower. We live in west central Minnesota in the lakes area where we have a variety of trees giving us an amazing fall color scheme. The trees start to turn color this time of year and peak the end of September first week in October. What is fall like where you live?

Today I am going to share some fall leaves on my CASE Card. CASE stands for Copy And Selectively Edit. Each Thursday Alison and I share a card we have CASEd from one of the current Stampin' Up! Catalogs.

Today's CASE is from the Aug-Dec 2020 Mini Catalog. I hope you have had a chance to see the new mini so many fun things and so little time.

The card on the left is the Stampin' Up! concept artist's card featured on page 22 of the mini. They used the Tree Angle Stamp Set along with the Stitched Triangle Dies to create the card. It is hard to tell by the photo but the background paper is Red Foil paper embossed using the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder. The card on the right is my CASE.

The leaves are cut out using the Nature's Roots and the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Not only can you cut out the leaves with the dies but you can also emboss with them. I used Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Just Jade Stampin’ Up!® cardstock. Just Jade is one of our new In-colors and I really love this new green addition to our color palette. All the products used for today's card are Stampin’ Up!®.
