I am excited to be a part of the National Craft Month blog hop. I am
sure there are going to be some amazing projects for you to C.A.S.E. (Copy And
Stamp Everything). I love
to do this and often feature CASE ideas here on my blog. As I crafter I like to
recreate when I find something I like.
If I really like it, I like to create it more than once. So today I am asking this question;
Why Start Over?
When I copy something, like this card idea
in a Stampin’ Up! 2018 Occasions Catalog, page 12, I often copy it exactly and
other times I change it a bit. Each new CASE-ing seems to lead to a new idea. I have 5 projects that came from this one idea!For the below project I changed the Textured Impression Embossing Folder (TIEF) from the Scattered Sequins Dynamic TIEF for the Petal Pair TIEF. I used ribbon in place of DSP, changed the sentiment, and replaced the numbers with the ribbon die from the Sweet Cake Framelits.
As you can see the design is
similar, but different. I liked
this design so much that I CASE’d my ‘new-original’ design using different
colors. Again, similar but different.
Seeing it completed on Whisper
White I thought it would make a pretty card for a wedding, so I recreated it
again. This time I turned the design
from landscape to portrait. I used the
other folder in the Petal Pair TIEF set.
I stamped the cake in VersaMark and embossed it and the sentiment (from Amazing
You - a Sale-a-bration stamp set) in
Silver.
I liked the wedding card design
and wanted to change it back to birthday but different from the previous projects. After embossing with the TIEF I sponged on
color and added the sentiment (I used scotch tape to cover the ‘spike’ in the sentiment
before inking the stamp – remember to remove the tape). I colored the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon by
pulling it through the ink pad (as I’ve shown in previous posts). The flower bouquet (from the Sweet Soiree
Embellishment Kit) is raised up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
After these cards, I wanted to
use the matching Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (S-DSP) because
it’s so pretty. After cutting a piece to
mat on the card front, I used the TIEF a few times to completely fill the S-DSP
with extra texture. I then ‘fussy cut’
the cake to add to the center...
….and even the inside.
Now I don’t like fussy cutting
any more than the average crafter, but sometimes I just want something that I
can’t stamp or cut out with the Big Shot or a punch. The little cakes from S-DSP had to be used. I love finding more ways to use DSP, don’t
you?
I love the Sweet Soiree Suite so
much that I used it for my first Theme Week ever! You can see 6 days of ideas on this blog from
January 8, through January 13, 2018.
Just remember to come back here to check out the other bloggers below
who are hopping today!
Until Next time . . .
