Arrange a Wreath card CASE’d from the 2020 Annual Catalog

HAPPENING NOW!

Hey Y'all!

Did you know the Stampin' Up! Catalog is more than just something to buy product out of? It is chock-full of project samples to get your creative juices flowing! In the Stampin' Up! world, you will hear the term "CASE." It means 2 things--Copy And Share Everything OR Copy And Selectively Edit.

This is one of my favorite samples in the catalog, in fact, it is what sold me on the Arrange A Wreath Bundle. And I CASE'd it on my FB live tonight. (See video below)

I changed a few things (that is selectively edited.) I used a Whisper White cardbase and layer instead of the gray as shown in the catalog. I also added a layer of vellum to the wreath.

Instead of using the Bumblebee Gingham ribbon shown on the sample (do y'all believe I have not ordered it yet??) I used the In-Color ribbon, and die cut a bow from the In-Color DSP.

Card Measurements:

Card Base- 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 4-1/2

Whisper White layer- 4-1/4 x 5-1/2

DSP layer- 2-1/2 x-5-1/2

You can see how I created this card and also see a preview of products from the 2020 Holiday Mini, going live August 4.

One thing I love about this bundle is it's versatility. It has sentiments and embellishments for many occasions. So, what sample are you going to recreate and make your own? Thanks for stopping by!

Click on the images below to order any of the products used from my online store. Please use the current host code if ordering less than $150. If your order is more than that, skip the host code and claim the rewards yourself. Contact me if you have any questions or want more information on classes, I always love to share creativity with others!

Love,

Nina

Scrap It-Let’s Get Hopping Round 32

Hey Y'all!

The Let's Get Hopping crew is back for another round, and this month we are using up our scraps! I don't know about you, but my desk can get cluttered real quick...organization is NOT my super power. You know that saying, "A sign of a cluttered desk is a cluttered mind." Well, then, what's an empty desk a sign of? But like many crafters, I hate to throw things away. We always say, "I can use that for something," am I right? Well, now is your chance! We are giving you some ideas to use those scraps.

I looked through my scrap bin (that's a box I toss all those scraps of paper that are too

 good to throw away) and found this piece of Pool Party with that negative space...I realized

 after I made my card that the die used is retired, but this can layout can work with any die.

  It made a beautiful frame for the simple images from the Lovely You stamp set.  I did some

 tone-on-tone stamping to add some dimension to the pool party, then stamped the leaf images

in pool party onto a slightly smaller piece of Whisper White.  I added Flirty Flamingo

 Flowers, then adhered the Pool Party layer with dimensionals.

The punch in this bundle is perfect for those small strips you get when you cut layers of your cardstock. It is actually 6 punches in one, and the different sizes layer beautifully. The 2 strips I used here are 1 x 3-1/2 and 3/4 x 3. My tip for using the punch is to cut the strips to the size you want, punch, then stamp the sentiment. I added the piece of Braided Linen Trim tied in a knot. It was a small piece that was in my ribbon drawer. So those 3 elements-the frame layer, the sentiment strip and layer, and the ribbon-were all scraps from other projects. So I encourage you to look around your craft room and get creative with your scraps!
