Art Gallery-Thinking of You Flowers

Flowers-Birds-Butterflies-Nature, Thinking of You / / ,

If you are like me then you love looking at the catalog for all the amazing card designs. Today my card, created with my crafting friend this past weekend, was CASED from the January – June catalog. If you are not familiar with the term CASE, it is what we crafters lovingly refer to as Copy And Share Everything.

While this card was not copied exactly, it is close. We used the Art Gallery Bundle. See if you can spot the difference.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Basic White Cardstock- 5½ x 8½ (card base), 1×3, 4¼ x 5
  • Highland Heather Cardstock- 4 x 5¼
  • Highland Heather Ink
  • Gorgeous Grape Ink
  • Granny Apple Green Ink
  • Art Gallery Bundle
  • Parisian Flourish 3-D Embossing Folder
  • Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

Directions

  • Score Basic White cardstock in landscape position at 4¼.  Fold & burnish to create card base.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss the Highland Heather cardstock using the Parisian Flourish folder and attach to card front.
  • On the larger white panel stamp the floral images in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut out images with coordinating dies.
  • Layer the images along the right side of the card front.
  • Stamp the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink on small white panel and cut out with die from bundle. Layer greeting across the floral images as shown.

I think the designers at Stampin’ Up! are amazingly talented, so of course I don’t have any problem copying them. After all the highest compliment is when someone copies your crafting right? When copying, always give credit where credit is due. Happy Crafting and Happy Casing!
