Case the Catalog - God's Peace

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you another project in my CASE the Catalog bi-weekly series.  Today, I am sharing with you a card from the Holiday Catalog.  The card I am CASEing (Copy and Share Everything or Copy and Selectively Edit) is on page 29 of the 2019 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.  I didn't have everything just like the card in the catalog but I came up with an alternative that works just as well.  Here's a look at my card.

Here's a look at the card from the catalog that inspired my card.

You can see a few differences in my card and the card in the catalog.  For example the major difference between my card and catalog card is the card in the catalog uses the Pine bough dies.  I don't have that bundle so I used the Frosted Frames dies instead.  I used the single die in the set to cut out the branches and leaves using Garden Green Cardstock.  I also have the torn edge but mine is just a little bit more than the card in the catalog.  I am thinking that the catalog card instead of having a torn edge has just a roughed up edge with snips, but I like the torn look.  You can see what I am talking about in the image below.
I have the same heat embossing as the catalog card, but I colored the image in from underneath instead of on top.  I wanted a little more a subtle coloring then what was in the catalog.  I love the candle and the poinsettia.  And wanted a little more attention on the gold embossing.  The sentiment was stamped in versamark ink and covered in white stampin' emboss powder before heat setting.
I stamped the words on the background whisper white piece before layering the vellum image over. I secured this with a little tear & tape.  I also ran my smoky slate ink pad along the torn edge to give a more pronounced edge.  I layered everything up on a Smoky Slate mat and then put it on my Cherry Cobbler Card base.  I hope that I have inspired you a little to try to CASE one of your favorite card designs from the Catalog.

Happy Stampin'

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a quick and easy way to mass produce some Christmas cards in minutes.  How you may be asking?  Well, it's with the Memory and More card packs and the matching Cards and Envelopes.  Today, I am going to use the Night before Christmas Memory and More card pack and matching Cards and Envelopes. Here's a look at the cards I made.


The Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack includes fun Christmas images and designs.  The Night Before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack contains 54 total double-sided cards (6 each of 9 designs) in 3" x 4" (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4" x 6" (10.2 x 15.2 cm) sizes along with 6 sticker sheets.  So you can see when you pair these with the Night Before Christmas Cards and Envelopes you can create a ton of Christmas Cards super quick.
The Night Before Christmas Memories & More Cards & Envelopes make cardmaking easier than ever! Adhere cards from the Night before Christmas Memories & More Card Pack to these card bases, and you have instant cards!  As you will see with the the card above and below.


You can see by using both the Night Before Christmas Memory and more pack and the matching cards and envelopes I created four completely different cards in just a few minutes.  Imagine how fast you could create 20 Christmas cards.

Seasonal Wreath Gather Together Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share another Fall themed card with you.  Today, I am using the Seasonal Wreath stamp set and some of the Gather Together Designer Series Paper, for a autumn filled monochromatic card.  Here's a look at my card.

Tips & Tricks: 

I started my card with my card base; which is a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2 Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  I then added a piece of the Gather Together Designer Series Paper cut at 4 x 5 1/4.  For the main focus of the card I stamped the wreath from the Seasonal Wreath stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink, but before I used the matching dies to cut out the wreath I used my Wink of Stella to give the wreath a little glitter and watercolor look.  I then stamped the sentiment and punched it out with a 1 3/4" circle punch.  
After letting everything dry I popped the wreath up using mini dimensionals in the center of the card.  then placed the sentiment in the center of the wreath on stampin dimensionals.  This was a super easy and fun little card to create for the Fall and Thanksgiving being right around the corner.  This is a great set to create cards for any type of kindness cards you may need.  
Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have a wonderful weekend.  I will be back tomorrow with a new Holiday card video.  
Happy Stampin'
