How to CASE a card

 Hello Craftin' Friends!

How many of you believe that you cannot design a card? When you look for creative inspiration, do you copy cards as shown, and feel that you need to have exactly the materials used to create the card? If so, you will enjoy this week's video tutorial where I CASE one of my own cards to create a very different card. 

The first card I created was the Planted Paradise Z Fold card. This card used Moody Mauve, Pretty Peacock, and Pebbled Path as the colour scheme. Gorgeous, right! The patterned paper is from the Softly Stippled DSP, available free with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration, while supplies last. Sentiment if from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set. This set provides a great collection of sentiments in a horizontal format.

The CASED version of this card uses the Grassy Grove Stamp Set. I wanted a masculine card, so I used Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, and Shaded Spruce for this card. I added some Adhesive Backed Solid gems in Pecan Pie to embellish this card. When I finished, I decided that it still had too much white space, so I added the moon and stars from the Forever Forest Stamp Set in Crumb Cake. When CASing, be flexible and use your "stash" to add interest to your card as needed. DSP is from the Flight and Airy pack, also available free with a $60 purchase during Sale-a-bration, while supplies last. 

I hope that this has helped you with how to get started creating cards, piggybacking on the ideas of others. If you'd like to take advantage of the Sale-a-bration offers, please use Host Code RNQMY744 for orders less than $200.
