You know what they say . . . imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Why not compliment someone today by CASEing their work? Find something you absolutely love about a card you see on Pinterest, social media, or in a Stampin’ Up! catalog—then use that inspiration to make something new and original!
Our concept artists have been “on the CASE,” themselves. For example, the My Sweet Friend card features a color combo that we repurposed and refreshed. We used the same colors as the original but took the design in a different direction. P.S. You can do this with cards, with magazine images, or with housewares from a home furnishing shop! See a rug with striking colors? Take a picture and CASE it!
To create the Les petites choses card, we stamped detail on the card base vs. using a detailed die cut. The ornate background was the original inspiration; we saw it, liked it, and did it our way. We also tore the edges of the sentiment for texture. (Our little addition!)
For the Liebe card, we CASEd a look that showcased exact-fitting die-cut pieces behind the detailed die. We replaced that with “loose” paper piecing and added blocks of color behind the detailed die cut. For a finishing touch, we stamped off the hearts for a two-tone effect.
Just love to make greeting cards and other paper art and crafts! Having lots of fun, too much maybe? Teaching and inspiring others to be creative is my other love so here's my way to share!
