CASE the Catalogue

CASE the Catalogue Memories & More Sailing Home

Celebrate Today (Sailing Home / Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, guess what? I’ve finally moved and I’ve finally made some space, and some time, to craft. It is AWESOME! What happened when I first sat down to create is that I went completely blank. Urgh! All the time I’ve been wanting to create the ideas have been flowing but when I could…nothing. I felt almost paralysed. I messaged my friend Melissa who suggested I CASE something to get back into the swing of things! What a great idea!! Plus it reminded me of a post I wrote a while ago about things you can do to kick start the mojo. It has lots of good ideas in it so I’ll share it again now as it might help you too.

You don’t need to look any further than the front of the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue for my inspiration for today’s card. I love the Come Sail Away Suite and I hadn’t used it before it ended up in a box. Not the best place for it to be. I loved how the original card designer used the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack for the base. It looks like it is layered, and you could certainly replicate this design with patterned paper and a die-cut shape if you wanted to. The sentiment is actually stickers, also from the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack. These packs have so much in them – different sized cards, laser-cut cards and stickers. They are great for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I love them!

Here’s the Card…

So there you have it, my first card in ages. It was fun to do and I am so looking forward to creating again. What are you crafting with these days? Are there any particular stamps/papers you would like to see me use?

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

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello Friend (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, today we are returning to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape to create this card. Simply stamp and mask the background and then fill in the colour. Stamp some leaves separately and die cut them. These can be arranged under the sentiment.

Here’s the Card…

Ah, so sweet! I do really love this card too. I think the shades of purple look really good. Have you tried this card yet? What colour combinations did you use?

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

CASE the Catalogue To A Wild Rose

Hello (To A Wild Rose / CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, while I had all of my supplies out I decided I had to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) one of my favourite cards from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue featuring the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I used Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo to create this look. You will need to use masks to create this design. I use all Full Stick Notes (Post-It brand) and then if they aren’t too mucky at the end of my project I keep them with the stamp sets so I can use them over and over.

Here’s the Card…

Isn’t this a really pretty card? I also LOVE the look of Black, Granny Apple Green and Melon Mambo together. Such a happy combination and most definitely it is one of my favourites! This card is so fun to create and I think it would be really cool to replicate it with some other colours. Watch this space!

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

CASE the Catalogue Dino Days

Look Who’s Hatched (Dino Days/CASE the Catalogue)

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, one of my favourite suites in the new catalogue is the new Dinoraur Suite Bundle. It is so darn cute! I love everything about it…including the samples featured. They are so adorable and, of course, I had to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) one of them.

If you are wondering where the blue fibres have come from, they are actually from the Denim Ribbon. I cut a piece and then frayed it out. Offers another option when crafting.

Here’s the Card…

My CASEd card is fairly close to the sample in the catalogue and then I tried to mix it up and try a pink colour combination.

Here’s the Card…

In hindsight, I wish I had stayed with the Old Olive (which is one of the colours in the DSP) for the foliage instead of changing it to the Granny Apple Green. I also wish I had added some white frayed ribbon, or twine, to the leaves as well. Oh well, that is the beauty of cardmaking…I can do exactly this for the next iteration of the card. Gosh, I love cardmaking!

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

Bloom & Grow CASE the Catalogue

You Are So Wonderful (Bloom & Grow) – CASE the Catalogue

written by Kylie

Hi everyone, what do you all think about the new Annual Catalogue? Isn’t it awesome?! I’m so thrilled you can all see it now and enjoy it with me. I’ve been so inspired by all of the amazing products and the gorgeous samples. Of course, I had to CASE one to get the ball rolling. This card features the new Bloom & Grow stamp set and the coordinating Budding Blooms dies (available as a bundle for a 10% discount). It was so fun to make too.

Stamp the image a couple of times using Black Memento ink. Stamp the sentiment at the same time. Use your preferred colouring medium to colour the flowers. Of course, this means I used my Stampin’ Blends. Die cut the flowers and the sentiment.

Stamp the background with Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green inks. Then assemble the card. Doesn’t it look lovely? If you think the background is a little too dark you could try stamping off before stamping on to the panel.

Here’s the Card…

It’s such a pretty card. I am totally crushing on the new Bloom & Grow stamp set too. Such a fun set to colour and I’ve been colouring it a LOT already. I’ve already got quite a few coloured ready for new cards. I can’t wait to see what you all create with this stamp set.

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

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!
