Painted Harvest - Layering Technique


Hello stamping friends!

Welcome to CASE-ing Tuesday #166, where we choose a card from a current Stampin’ Up! catalog and change a little, a lot, or nothing at all.

This week we are CASE-ing page 28 from the 2018 Holiday Catalog. This card uses the Peaceful Noel stamp set.


For my card, I used Painted Harvest stamp set, from the Annual Catalog, on page 139. This set is another one of my favorites.


I used a layering technique, which is very easy to do. Using repositionable adhesive, I layer 2 pieces of Whisper White cardstock, the smallest piece of whisper white cardstock on top of the bigger one. Then, I stamped the flowers using Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Soft Suede and Old Olive for the leaves.




Once done stamping, I separated the layers and mounted the largest layer to the Mango Melody card base, and the smallest onto another piece of Mango Melody. I then mounted the smallest layer to the card base, making sure the stamped images aligned. After, I stamped the sentiment onto Old Olive cardstock and cut it out using a circle stitched framelit, mounted  it onto the center of the card using mini dimensionals. I finished the card by stamping a sentiment inside the card and decorating my envelope.


Here’s a closer look of the layer. Easy and stunning, don’t you think?


I hope you have enjoyed today’s card. Visit our CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group and see what other stampers have shared. I hope we inspire you and that you share your CASE. If you wish to purchase any of the supplies used, please visit My Store. Until next week my friends.

Country Home

 CASE-ing Tuesday #165

Hello friends! Welcome to CASE-ing Tuesday. CASE, where we change a little, a lot, or nothing at all.

This weekend was very busy that I had almost forgotten about CASE-ing Tuesday. So, for today’s card I really didn’t change it much. However, I was so happy that this week’s card featured the Country Home Suite. I just love this suite, one of my top picks. Below is the card that was CASEd.


Here is my card. Can you find the difference?


There are 3 differences. One, I have a white boarder around my card. Two, no orange flowers, instead, I added leaves. Three, I added dimensionals to my sentiment for a little pop.

I started with a whisper white card stock for the card base. Next, I cut the yellow DSP just big enough to leave a bit of white boarder and glued it to the white base. Then, I cut a different piece of DSP, wrap some ribbon around it and tied a bow at the end. Once I had the perfect bow, I glued this on top of the yellow DSP. Then, I stamped the sentiment on regular whisper white cardstock and used the layering oval thinlits on the sentiment and for its background. I glued 2 leaves behind the background, added a couple of mini dimensionals to the back and  placed it over the ribbon, close to the bow. I used a mini glue got to help keep the bow in place. That’s it, the card was done! Super easy, right?

I hope you enjoyed this week’s CASE-ing. Visit our facebook group, see cards created by other members. Create your CASE and share it with us, we would love to see it. Until next week my friends, have a wonderful week.

Country Home


Hello friends.

It’s not CASE-ing Tuesday yet, but I wanted to share with you the card I made. Earlier this week I received my order from the Stampin’ Up 2018 Holiday Catalog. It was Christmas in September for me! I was so excited to get my order, but had to wait until last night to play with them.

With fall just around the corner, I decided to play with the Country Home set. I fell in love with this set right from the beginning. Love the tin can and how I can use my stamping blends with this set. Also, love how it has coordinating paper and accessories. 

And here’s my card!




 I just love how it turned out! This card just screams fall, doesn’t it? All the colors combine perfectly, purples are my favorite. I hope you enjoyed my card and we’ll see you Tuesday.

Daffodil Wishes

CASE-ing Tuesday #164

Hello friends and welcome back! The card that we are CASE-ing today is featured in the recently released Stampin’ Up! 2018 holiday catalog. The card can be found on page 44.


Instead of using the Pleasant Pheasants stamp set I used Daffodil Wishes from the annual catalog found on page 118.


I started my card with Night of Navy cardstock base. Then, I cut some glossy white cardstock, which I then dropped a couple drops of Daffodil Delight reinker. I sprayed some water on top using a SU spritzer. I let the water run for a bit and with a paper towel blotched the ink all over the paper. I let it dry for a couple minutes. Once it was dry I stamped the daffodils and sentiment. After, I glued  the glossy white paper to a piece of Night of Navy cardstock which is slightly bigger then the glossy white. Then, I ripped the top and bottom of the Night of Navy. Before I glued the paper down to the base, I wrapped Night of Navy bakers twine around it and finished it with a bow. And of course, my card couldn’t be complete without a coordinating envelope.

Here’s a closer look at my card.



I hope you’ve enjoyed my card this week and invite you visit our  CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group. CASE this week’s card and share it with us. We would love to see it!



See you next week!

CASE-ing Tuesday #163

Welcome back friends! 

In one of the Facebook groups that I belong to, every Tuesday, we are given a card to CASE. CASE stands for Copy And Share Everythin. We use it for inspiration to create our own. We may change a little, a lot or nothing at all.

The card for this week’s CASE-ing was chosen from Stampin’ Up’s holiday catalog. Unfortunately, I don’t have the stamp set used on the card. So, I selectively edited my card by using the Healing Hugs stamp set.

This is the card that inspired me this week.




And this is my card.

 When I first started stamping the rose, I was not really happy with the way it was turning out. However, once I put the whole card together, I loved it! The colors were working perfectly together. 




The bow added the final touch it need. It makes the bit of soft brown in the card pop.

Hope you enjoyed today's card. Leave me a comment and let me know. Until next time!

I Did It!

I can’t believe this! After weeks of contemplating the idea and encouraging words from a friend, I did it! I finally worked up the nerve to start my blog. So, welcome to my Stamping Corner!

Making cards is a hobby that I’ve been doing for awhile now and really enjoy. Seeing that smile when someone receives my handmade card and hearing “your card is lovely” just makes my day.

I want to share my stamping creations with you and show you how easy and fun it is. So, today I’ll start with this Thank You card I made for my friend, for those wonderful words of encouragement. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.



Isn’t this pup adorable? I think so! That’s why I chose it for my friend’s card. A simple card to say “thank you.”

I hope you’ve enjoyed the card and continue to join me on this new adventure of mine. Until next time my friends.
