Badges and Banners CASE

On Monday I shared some cards we made at Melinda's party.  Check out the post here.  One of them was a card I CASEed from the Stamping' Up! catalog.  Check out page 89 and you will see this card, just with different colors and a slightly different design.  The artists at Stamping' Up! are sooo amazing!  I love to look through the catalog and CASE (Copy And Share Everything) their designs.  All I did was switch out the colors.  You get a different look each time!  Think about it...You could probably make the same card 10 times, but just change the colors, and it would look very different each time!

Crushed Curry and Cajun Craze take center stage on this card!  The gold foil sheet and gold 1/8" ribbon make it sparkle!


Emerald Envy and Tempting Turquoise make a fun, bright card when they play together!  The ribbon is Ruched Emerald Envy.  


Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stamping!

 Hello Card



Check out page 89 in the Stamping' Up! catalog, and you will know where I CASEed this card from! The catalog is full of great ideas.  It's a great place to CASE (Copy And Share Everything).  The circles behind the bird cage are made with sponge daubers.  I love the effect!!  The word is made by just inking up "hello" with the marker.  Using markers can make your stamps even more versatile!
