CASE-ing Wonderful Moments

Another craft day with my friend Tracy, today we decided to CASE the catalog image on page 15 of the 2019-2020 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog!

~Enjoy!



Since neither one of us had a light wood background (I later discovered the paper on the original is from Come Sail Away DSP - which we both DID have) she chose the paper from Pressed Petals & I grabbed the envelope liner for the October 2019 Winter Woods Paper Pumpkin. The background is loads of technique. First I added additional Early Espresso ink randomly to give t just a little more depth. Then I gave the backside a little spritz of water & very carefully scrunched up the paper. I let that dry for a minute before cutting it into 6 equally sized planks. I then adhered those to white cardstock to give it some weight & the scruffed up the edges with my scissors. These are all layered a little wonky on a background of Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper & Early Espresso.


The sentiment is a little more work, after stamping with Pear Pizzazz and the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set and a Happy Birthday from my stash, I roughed up the edges again on this piece, then I pressed Crumb Cake lid into its own ink pad, gathered up the ink with an Aqua Painter & using the lid, flicked the background with some soft dots of color. One more thing of special not, I colored the Seaside Spray Metallic Ribbon with a Cherry Cobbler Blends Maker to get the Rich Razzleberry ribbon with sparkle, so pretty!

CASE-ing Noble Peacock and DSP

Last card for the day, we decided to CASE another card from the annual catalog & we got to use more DSP! This one CASE-s the little box on page 25.

~Enjoy!



The background uses the Noble Peacock Designer Series Paper layered over a few strips of Gold Glimmer Paper. The oval is cut from the Layering Ovals Dies. I cut various amounts of twigs from the Detailed Peacock Dies and the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets as well as some card stock ones with Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock, Whisper White and Old Olive. I made the bow with the Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon and the Light Pretty Peacock Blends Marker. The sentiment is stamped with Pretty Peacock and Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set. 


After I had the card done, I shared it with Tracy & she suggested to add some more white springs to brighten the card up, which it certainly did!

Brightly Gleaming DSP Easy Layout

Tracy had a layout that she was interested in replicating and we were focused for the day on using DSP, so we came up with these!

~Enjoy!



The background uses the Brightly Gleaming Designer Series Paper, with it's copper foil is it so pretty in person! It is layered on a few strips of Copper Glimmer Paper from the retired Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper (no need to waste all of the inside by directly layering over a whole sheet! This is then sitting on top of a card base of Very Vanilla. To build the focal I raided my supply of ribbon, but what I found was this micro-wire mesh in a light tan with a very faint gold thread running through it I bought from Target years ago, this could be substituted with Cheesecloth. The pinecones and envelope elements are from the retired Christmas Pines Bundle but you could also use Peaceful Boughs Bundle. The sentiment is stamped with Soft Suede and the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set. The whole thing is topped off with a knot I had laying in my discard pile made with Delightful Dijon Mini Striped Ribbon. Make sure to check out Tracy's card!



I had a ton of leftover paper after I disassembled the bag I made at the Quarterly NC Demo day (I tend to not do or keep 3D items, I really screwed up the assembly at the event, and at the time I had no intention to buy the paper pack) which was laying on my table in the corner, so I grabbed that & came up with this alternative! I fussy cut some ornaments on the left, they show up much better in person and the sentiment is embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and the Tags Tags Tags Bundle. The Whisper White & Copper Baker's Twine is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit. The envelope stamp is from my stash and stamped in Mossy Meadow.
