Just in CASE – Which is your favorite?

How are your days going with the lifestyle changes during covid-19?  We have all had to adapt to new routines and how we gather with family and friends.  So grateful that we have the ability to keep in touch online.  Stamping has always helped take my mind of the stresses of life, I hope it can do the same for you. 

It is time for our Just in CASE series.  My Border Buddy Alison Solven from Canada and I take turns creating a card to share each week, this week it is my turn.  We CASE projects from a current Stampin’ Up! catalog to share. CASE stands for (Copy And Selectively Edit).   We like to show you how you can use the paper crafting projects in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog to inspire you!  

Today's card features  the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set from Stampin' Up!  mixed with some naturals colors and a pop of Real Red.

When you CASE, you can copy it exactly, or selectively edit it by changing the colors or the stamp set or both.  Today is a close case with simply changing the the stamp set, the designer paper and the embossing folder.

While the colors look very different in the photo I used the same colors as the Stampin' Up! concept artist.
