Time to CASE!

Hello! Join us to take a break from celebrating that the election cycle is over, and enjoy some fun items made by our design team. Have you heard of CASE? It stands for Copy And Share Everything and is highly encouraged in the Stampin' Up! world. Today our theme is to CASE another member of the Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration design team.

As you hop along, please leave some love for each of the designers. We love to hear from our followers, and are anxious to hear what you love! You should have just left stop #3 - Nichole at Scrappy Stamps and Ink. If so, you are in the right place. If you get off track or a link doesn't work, you will find the full Blog Hop list at the bottom of this post. Let's get to the main event!

I CASE'd a card that Tobe from The Craft Sea shared in September for a Thank You card challenge. I made my own DSP background with the Paisleys and Posies stamp set. I stamped the images in VersaMark on Whisper White card stock and then heat embossed with Crystal Clear Embossing Powder. I used the Sponge Brayers to ink over them with Island Indigo ink and Rich Razzleberry ink.

There's actually a gap between the two pieces, which I decided to cover with two pieces of Silver 1/8" Ribbon. Do you recognize that greeting? Unless you are a demonstrator, you probably won't, as it's from a new set that is being released in January! Sneak Peek!!!

It's CASE Day!

Today is a fun Design Team challenge! Our task was to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) a fellow Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration Design Team member's card. It was really hard to choose just one!

I used Jennifer Blomquist's card from the Oh Hello, Goodbye post in May as my inspiration.

Here is what I was inspired to create:

As you can see, I kept the same general layout, but changed several things. The paper is from the Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack and features similar polka dots and a patterned paper. I also stamped on the Wooden Element, as Jennifer did. I had to add some of that yummy Blackberry Bliss ribbon, and used a few more stamps than she did.

The "Love," '&," and "Cupcake" are all from the Peace, Love & Cupcakes stamp set. It's one of my new favorites! My color combination of Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, and Soft Sky came from the Color Coach; and honestly was not one that I would have ever tried on my own.

Have you CASE'd one of our cards before? We'd love to see your work; please share it with us!
