CASE Thursday, A Day Late!!

Hi! Sorry I missed you yesterday if you stopped by!! You know how it goes...Things to do, places to go, people to see!!

So I'm still going to do my CASE Thursday, even though I'm a day late! Today's CASE Thursday card comes from the Spring-Summer Collection 2008 on page 56. I changed it up a bit, but the layout is exactly the same. They used the retired Soft Sky cardstock, but I changed it to Bashful Blue. Also, I used the Little Leaves Die, instead of their stamped image. Here is my version.

It's so soft-looking! The Very Vanilla Cardstock really softens it up!

Supplies:

Stamps: Thank You Kindly, Polka Dot

Ink: Certainly Celery

Paper: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Very Vanilla

Accessories: Scallop Edge Punch, Bashful Blue Grosgrain Ribbon, Little Leave Die, Big Shot, Dimensionals

Have a great weekend! See you tomorrow!

Get Whale Soon! CASE Thursday

Hi! It's time for another CASE Thursday when I CASE (copy and share everything) a card or project from any of Stampin' Up's publications. Today's card comes from the 2006-2007 Idea Book & Catalog on page 94. SU! used All God's Children stamp set, but I changed it to Pun Fun. And I changed the colors, but the layout is exactly the same. It's difficult to see in the picture, but the whale is colored in with Watercolor Crayons and Aquapainter, and the Barely Banana cardstock is stamped with the Canvas stamp with So Saffron. It's really cute in real life!!

Supplies:
Stamps: Pun Fun, Canvas
Ink: Jet Black Staz On, So Saffron
Paper: Real Red, Ballet Blue, Barely Banana, Whisper White
Accessories: Watercolor Crayons (Bashful Blue & Ballet Blue), Aquapainters, Paper Piercing Tools, Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Photo Corners Punch, Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

CASE Thursday

Hi! It's Thursday, so it's time for another CASE Thursday. Today's card come from the July issue of Stampin' Success. Our Stampin' Success is a monthly magazine for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. It's loaded with information, including lots of stampin' samples. Here is a direct copy of a card that is in the Stampin' Success...

Supplies:
Stamps: Flight of the Butterfly
Ink: Barely Banana, So Saffron, Real Red
Paper: Kraft, Barely Banana, Real Red, Whisper White
Accessories: Texturz Plates, Big Shot, Trio Flower Punch, Silver Brads, Scallop Edge Punch ($10.99 DEAL OF THE WEEK!)

CASE Thursday and a little bit of Christmas!

RJ and I just got back from the pool this morning. What a great day to be at the pool! I even have a bit of a tan!!!

I have 2 cards, so be sure to scroll down!

It's Thursday and as I mentioned last week, Thursdays mean showing you a CASE (copy and share everything) card to you. Today's inspiration comes from the current catalog, the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog on page 72.

Here is my version:

Supplies:
Stamps: Wild About You, Birthday Wish, Polka Dot, Well-Worn Numbers
Ink: Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Night of Navy
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Real Red, More Mustard, Old Olive, Night of Navy, Whisper White
Accessories: 1-3/4" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Isn't that a cute child's card?! I did change a few things for my card. Since I didn't have the stamp sets that Stampin' Up! used in their card, I substituted for the Wild About You set and added the Birthday Wish stamp for the sentiment. The Wild About You stamp set is on the Last Chance List, so make sure you order today if you would like to get this set before it is gone forever. It will be available until June 30th...Item 115110, $25.95.

Today is June 25th, 6 months before Christmas! I know, can you believe it? On the 25th of each month, I want to show you a Christmas card. It's never too late to start thinking about Christmas cards. Every year, I always think...if I would only start a bit earlier in making my Christmas cards. The Holidays seem like such a rush at times...wouldn't it be great to work on my cards early, so that is one less thing I need to get done during the Holiday Season! Wishful thinking, huh? Let's dream for a minute...create 10 cards each month...I would have 60 cards complete by December 1st!

Supplies:
Stamps: To You and Yours
Ink: Baja Breeze
Paper: Baja Breeze, Whisper White
Accessories: Texturz Plates, Big Shot, Scallop Edge Punch, 1-1/4" & 1-3/8" Circle Punches, Dimensionals, White Organza Ribbon

I hope you enjoyed a bit of Christmas today! Like I said, I will share a little of Christmas each month on the 25th.

Have a great day!
