CASE - Copy and Share Everything

I use acronyms that I think most stampers are quite familiar with but I also try to make certain I'm letting you know what it means...just in case.  CASE means Copy and Share Everything and in most cases, you'll find that Stampin' Up! Demos share everything willingly!

Funny story -- Thom sees me getting and sending mail with "RAK" written on the front or back of it.  I explained that RAK means Random Act of Kindness and that I'm sending a card because someone has requested a card shower, because someone is having trouble or "Just because".  While we were in Seattle on vacation, we were talking about something and he said, "If we did that, it would be a RAK" and went on conversing as if it was nothing.  I practically dropped my teeth -- the man used a stamping term and it wasn't said in any kind of snide manner or with teasing at all.  There is hope yet!

I am casing the August issue of Stampin' Success today.  As demos, we receive this free publication (which I would gladly subscribe to!) that has tons of ideas for cards, scrapbooks, projects, 3D, Home Decor and more.  It's packed full -- I never get rid of them but keep them all tucked away for when I want inspiration.  If I never had an original card idea again, it wouldn't matter because there are so many ideas on the demo website and in Stampin' Success, as well as on Stampin' Connection, a demo sharing site hosted by Stampin' Up! that I could CASE like crazy.  This was on the August cover, but I've changed the colors and added a couple of my own touches.

This is a set I really like but haven't inked much.  The background is Pink Pirouette.  I random stamped in Pink Pirouette with the flower from All You Do.  Notice I didn't do a fantastic job but it still looks okay.  I think I need to re-ink the pad and will get that done later today.  I cut a layer of Rose Red and added a torn edged Certainly Celery layer.  Next, I stamped the dots in Certainly Celery on Whisper White cardstock and then stamped the stem in Certainly Celery as well.

I stamped the flowers on Whisper White in Rose Red ink and fussy cut them out.  The larger two blooms are added with dimensionals and the smaller two are just glued right onto the cardstock.  I added the rhinestone centers and colored the smaller centers with my So Saffron marker.  I tied a knot in my Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon before adhering it to my card.  Once the ribbon was attached, I added the top panel.  The sentiment is stamped in Rose Red ink and as you can see, it's another Thank You card.  Heaven knows I need bunches of these!

I'm off to put together some more card kits for the Ronald McDonald Card event.  Would LUV to see you there!

Have a fabulous Tuesday and may God richly bless you!

Tami, I just got my Stampin' Success and was going to case this card too for a display board I'm doing where the theme is Case-ing! Love what you chose and thanks for sharing!
