CASE the Catalogue

All That You Are CASE the Catalogue Occasions Thank you

Let’s CASE the catalogue again: Thank You (All That You Are)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, you know I am a really big proponent of using stamp sets for more than one card. I really want to encourage you to get the most out of everything you buy from me. Plus, I want to encourage myself to do the same. I often make cards where I only vary one or two things such as the colour palette or the sentiment and other times every card I make is quite different from anything I’ve done with the stamp set in the past.

Today I am featuring a CASE of a CASE. What does CASE mean? CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything but you’ll notice we talk about the card as being CASEd. It’s a card you make which has been inspired by the work of someone else. Sometimes it is a fairly faithful replication and other times there might only be selected elements which have inspired you. You must give credit to the original designer especially if you decide to post your version on social media.

Anyway, back to my CASE of a CASE. I recently shared a card inspired by a card featured on page 3 of the Occasions catalogue. You can see that card here. I really loved it and decided I wanted to make it again but this time using Highland Heather as my card base. It’s one of my favourite colours in the range. Oooh, that is a big call, isn’t it? It’s true though.

So, I’m using the All That You Are stamp set and I’ve inked up the large floral image with Highland Heather and stamped all over my cardstock. I stuck with the same colour palette as my original card for the rest of the design –Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. I stamped out some of the floral images but reversed the colours for the flowers (the bigger flower is Flirty Flamingo and the smaller flowers are Petal Pink). I cut the flowers out using the coordinating dies from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits dies. I also needed a few more die cut leaves – thank you Rose Trellis die set. I stamped the sentiment, cut some vellum and then layered all the bits and pieces together.

Here’s the card…

To be honest, I think I prefer this version to my first attempt. What about you? Do you have a preference?

All That You Are CASE the Catalogue

Let’s CASE the catalogue (All That You Are)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today’s card is gorgeous! It is one I have CASED (Copy And Share Everything) from page 3 of the Occasions catalogue. What really appealed to me about this card is that it featured colouring, the trellis die (from the Rose Trellis die set) and ribbon. I rarely use embellishments such as ribbon and I thought this looked so sweet. I also like the fact that the card actually looks like it might be a bit of work…but I knew it wouldn’t be.

I took a sheet of Blueberry Bushel cardstock and scored and cut to create my card base. I then added a sheet of Blueberry Bushel DSP to the base. I trimmed a panel of Whisper White cardstock to the size I wanted and then stamped the main floral image (from the All That You Are stamp set) in the centre. I filled out this image with a couple of the smaller floral images so that it would fill up a lot of the panel. My current preferred colouring method is to use Stampin’ Blends and so that is what I used to colour this panel. It looks so pretty. I was a little sad to add the vellum over the top (but I got over it! lol)

Before running the trellis die through the Big Shot, I added the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Whisper White cardstock. I LOVE this adhesive. I use it for all my fiddly dies these days. I then adhered this die cut directly to the vellum. I was then able to use the fine tip glue to adhere the vellum to the coloured panel.

To finish the card, stamp the sentiment of your choice in Blueberry Bushel ink then punch out with the Tailored Tag punch. I added a little bit of snail adhesive to the card to secure the ribbon and then popped up the sentiment tag over the top. So cool!

Here’s the card…

Isn’t it lovely! You could make this card more of your own by using a different colour palette, sentiment or die cut/punch for the sentiment. I think it is easily replicable and I hope you will give it a go!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

All That You Are CASE the Catalogue Occasions Thank you

Thank You (All That You Are / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the things I’ve been enjoying lately is CASE-ing (Copy And Share Everything) the designs in the catalogues. It makes me think outside my usual way of creating. It also helps me when my mojo seems to be on vacation.

I’m using the All That You Are stamp set again. Isn’t it a beautiful stamp set!? I loved both of the card examples featured on page 3 of the Occasions catalogue and knew I would be CASE-ing them both in due course. What I liked about the card I am sharing today is that there is no colouring (and you all know how much I enjoy colouring) but the card is full of happy colours.

I started with a sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock and cut, scored and folded it to make my card base. Next up I inked up the large floral image in the All That You Are stamp set with Balmy Blue ink and repeatedly stamped it over the card base. I LOVE how this looks.

I grabbed a couple of different colours of cardstock – Flirty Flamingo, Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green. I stamped out some of the floral images and then used the coordinating dies from the Frosted Bouquet Framelits dies. Yes! This die set does coordinate with the All That You Are stamp set too. How cool is that?! I also die cut some leaves using the Rose Trellis die set. The next step was to stamp the sentiment, cut some vellum and then layer all the bits and pieces together and voila it was finished. My card isn’t exactly the same as the one featured in the catalogue but it does come pretty close.

Here’s the card…

Oh and here’s a little hint too. I usually use the Banner Triple Punch to create my banner but I had put it away and I was too lazy to go and get it. On my craft table, I still had the Tailored Tag Punch so I used this to create the banner look. It was so easy!

I really admire the designers whose cards feature in the different Stampin’ Up! catalogues. They create the most beautiful cards and it is a real delight to recreate their designs or to simply be inspired by their creations. I hope you too are inspired to CASE a card and put your own spin on it.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Lasting Lily Sale-A-Bration

CASE the Catalogue: Wishing You Well (Lasting Lily)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, are you ready for another CASE the Catalogue card? If you have never heard of this term it means, Copy And Share Everything. It’s a fantastic way to inspire or challenge yourself to try something a little different. All you need to remember to do is give credit to the original artist. Today’s card is a fairly faithful recreation of a card featured in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. A few things inspired me – the colour palette (I never use yellows as the main feature of my cards), the use of the gingham paper, and the way lilies pop out of the centre circle.

The stamps used to create this card are from the Lasting Lily stamp set. This is a beautiful set which is perfect for those harder times in life as there are many Sympathy type sentiments.

Here’s the card…

Truthfully, if I was to make this card again there are a number of things I would do differently. I’d like to pop up the entire gingham panel and maybe even pop up all three lilies (for this card, I popped up the biggest lily). I’d move the sentiment strip lower down so it wasn’t so centred in the middle of the card. And this, right here, is another benefit of CASE-ing – you learn things you like and want to try again with new projects.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Lasting Lily Sale-A-Bration

Wishing You Well (Lasting Lily)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another two cards CASEd from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. The cards featured the Lasting Lily stamp set which is a limited edition, Sale-A-Bration stamp set. This means it could be yours for free when you place a qualifying order. I think it would make a great addition to any stamp collection.

The catalogue featured two colourways – one with Daffodil Delight for the petals and the other card featured Pool Party for the petals. I loved them both so I had to make them both. When you are CASE-ing projects, don’t worry if you don’t have the same supplies – just go with what you have. Sometimes you might just be inspired by the overall design, or colour palette and other times you might more faithfully recreate it. Just try and put your own spin on the card – you’ll love it more! I certainly didn’t have the same supplies but I really like how the cards finished up.

Here’s the first card…

Here’s the second card…

Aren’t they pretty? The one thing which I really wanted to point out to you is that I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive on the Pool Party Cardstock. I tend to favour stamping on Whisper White cardstock or do white embossing on Basic Black cardstock. Doesn’t this look really lovely though? I think I am going to have to try this again more in the future! I hope you’ll give it a try too!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

Amazing Life Botanical Butterfly DSP Butterfly Gala CASE the Catalogue Sale-A-Bration

I believe in you (Botanical Butterflies DSP / Amazing Life)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, you’ve often heard me talk about how fantastic the catalogue is for providing inspiration. I think the samples are AMAZING! Sometimes the sample I love is a 3D project and I rarely do them. So instead of thinking I can’t (or won’t) make that project, I think about how I might be able to convert it to a card. Sometimes that is a very easy process – like today’s cards. Other times, it is a little more complicated.

I was inspired by a project on page 9 of the first Sale-A-Bration catalogue. It features a clear acetate box filled with Coastal Cabana cards and secured by a belly band of the super cute butterflies which had been cut out from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper. It looks good.

Here’s the Inspiration Piece…

I had to give it a try. The fiddliest part is cutting out the butterflies but even that doesn’t take too long. I didn’t worry about saving the antenna either. I stamped them on later using the Butterfly Gala stamp set. You could also draw them on with a black marker if you wanted. I used Wink of Stella to add a bit more sparkle to the butterflies. It really gave them a lift!

Here’s the Card…

After making the above card, I had to make another one but this time chose Pool Party as my base. So pretty.

Here’s the Card…

Seriously, isn’t this the cutest! I think you could pick out any of the colours in the patterned paper and use that as your base. Pick up a spool of the Whisper White 1/8″ Sheer Ribbon and you can colour it to match any of the backgrounds you like. So effective!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Occasions Thank you

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Rose Trellis)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of the colours I am crushing on at the moment, and you might have noticed it, is Highland Heather. It was introduced in the current Annual Catalogue and I just adore it. It really is the prettiest shade of purple. I have to stop myself, mostly unsuccessfully, from reaching for it again and again. Highland Heather is another colour featured in the Gingham Gala 6″x6″ DSP paper pack. It was when I was going through selecting my papers for the cards earlier that I knew I would be making another version of the card I had CASED from the Occasions catalogue. You might remember I have already made two other versions. You can see my first card here and my second card here.

Isn’t the Highland Heather version SO PRETTY!! I love it!

Here’s the Card…

Don’t you just love the Climbing Roses stamp set and the coordinating Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle) too?

And this card is so pretty – I cannot promise I won’t make another one in a different colour palette. I just know any recipient would love it!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Occasions

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Rose Trellis)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, do you ever make a card and you love everything about it so you want to make it again and again? This is what happened to me when I CASED a card from the Occasions catalogue recently. You can see my first card here. I really wanted to make this card again but experiment with some different colour palettes. Since I had originally used the Grapefruit Grove paper from the Gingham Gala 6″x6″ DSP. I turned to this paper pack again to see what other colours might appeal. Of course…you guessed it! They ALL appealed so I started with the Balmy Blue. I am such a fan of this blue. It is so pretty.

To add a little bit of sparkle to the card, I used the Iridescent Sequin Assortment. There is no Balmy Blue in this pack but with the iridescent nature of the sequins, the Pool Party matched beautifully.

Here’s the Card…

Don’t you just love the Climbing Roses stamp set and the coordinating Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle)? I think they both offer so much – independently and together. And yes, I think you will be seeing another of these cards in the very near future. I’m addicted to this design!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Well Written

Thank You (Climbing Roses / Well Written)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another quick and easy card but one which looks like it might have taken forever to make. I promise you it didn’t take long at all. It was inspired by a card featured in the Occasions 2019 catalogue. I had originally planned to CASE the card but I ended up putting my own spin on it (and really isn’t that much better than simply CASE-ing a card).

I used the lovely Climbing Roses stamp set which I coloured with Stampin’ Blends before cutting it out with the coordinating dies. I wanted a little more texture for my card base so I used the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder – can you tell this is my favourite embossing folder? I added another panel to create some more interest. I stamped this panel with Balmy Blue ink. I stamped off a couple of times before stamping on the panel as I didn’t want it to be too bold.

I decided to use the Well Written Framelits dies to create my sentiment. I die cut the thanks (just cut off the “s”)and the you dies multiple times in white cardstock and again in black cardstock. My big tip here is to use the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets before you start die cutting. This way you can easily layer the die cuts and stick them together. I love this look! All that was left was to assemble the card.

Here’s the Card…

I think this stamp set may just be jumping to the top of my favourite list. It is so beautiful. I also LOVE the new Well Written dies. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will make it into the Annual Catalogue as a permanent item. It’s a fabulous set!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!

CASE the Catalogue Climbing Roses Thank you

Thank You (Climbing Roses)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, there are so many card ideas in the Occasions catalogue which I just adore. I’d love to make them all and I sure plan to make as many of them as I can. One of my favourite samples uses the Climbing Roses stamp set and the Rose Trellis Thinlits dies (available individually and as a bundle). I truly loved this card and just HAD to CASE it. The designer has such a great eye for design.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t it pretty? I love everything about it! For this card is that I used my fine tip glue to adhere the trellis to the white panel. It was a little fiddly. If I was to make it again I would recommend using the Multi-Purpose Adhesive sheets as it would have been a much faster process.

Do you have a favourite card in the catalogue that you just had to CASE?

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you have a great day!
