Each Thursday my Border Buddy Patsy Waggoner from the US and I take turns creating a card that we CASED from a current Stampin’ Up! catalogue. CASE means Copy And Selectively Edit. The beautiful projects by the concept artists from Stampin' Up! are a great way to be inspired! When you CASE, you can copy it exactly, or selectively edit it by changing the colors or the stamp set or both.
In my card today I cased a card from the January – June 2021 shown on page 38. I wanted to showcase the beautiful Designer Series Papers from the Sale-a-bration offering. I made two versions of the card, one using the Paper Blooms and the other with Field of Flowers. Both offerings are free with a qualifying order ($50 US/$60 CDN)
Here is the original project (page 38 of the January – June 2021 Mini Catalogue) featuring the Circle Celebration Stamp Set. You may have noticed that on some projects the same layout is shown for a beginner, casual and avid card maker.
Here's my CASE using the Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper along with the sentiment from the Here's a Card Stamp Set from the Annual Catalogue.
