Let's make a MASCULINE card - Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it! Episode 10

Welcome to Episode 10 of "Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it"! In this series, I show you step-by-step how to recreate cards that inspire you. CASE'ing (Copy & Share Everything) is done by stampers of all skill levels. It's easy and very satisfying. Let's get started!

For this week's card, which I made 2 of, I CASE'ed a card from Page 153 of the Current Annual Catalog. For the card on the left, I used a background I created with the Pigment Sprinkles Alcohol Ink Background. If you missed that tutorial you can watch it here. The card on the right, which is the one I made in this tutorial, I decided to show you how to make it with a blended background. You can decide which background you prefer when you make your card.

I added some extra dimension on this card by putting some dimensional behind the top layer of the Brick & Mortar layer, and on the second card, I decided to adhere it right on top of the mat without added dimensionals. Again, you can decide what you like best.

I created a Step-By-Step Video so you can watch and play along. I break all the steps down and show you exactly what I did.

Which card did you prefer? If you have any questions comment below or on my YouTube channel and I will do my best to help you!

Question: Which background will you be doing? Alcohol Inks for Blended?

Let me know in the comments below, I love hearing from you!

Card Sketch #4

Loads of Love - Valentine's card

I just love the Ride With Me & The Gangs All Mere stamp sets, so I figured let's use them together!

Common! That little Meerkat popping his head up in the truck is just too adorable!!

My card sketches are always posted on my Facebook Page before they go live anywhere else on the internet. If you want to get a head start on them and see them first, request to join us here.

I started out with an A2 top folding card using Bermuda Bay 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock and I turned it on its side for a different perspective.

I then embossed a mat of Whisper White 8 1/2 X 11 Cardstock which was 1/4" smaller than the card with the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder (All links to supplies are below) Then I used a Sponge Dauber to very lightly bring up the bricks in the background. I used a very light touch and just swiped back and forth until I achieved the desired look. You can adhere this down with any adhesive but I used some blue fun foam I found at Walmart (cut 1/4" smaller than the mat).

Then, I stamped the image twice on a piece of Whisper White Cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momento Ink as this is the best combination of paper and ink to use our Stampin' Blends markers with. The ink won't bleed! I stamped it twice as I wanted to cut the tires out and pop them up over the tires below to add some dimension. I listed the markers I used down below in the supplies.

Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies I cut out the hearts and trimmed them to the desired size and pieced them into the back of the truck. I used some Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up a few of the negative hearts to add dimension and visual interest. I also die-cut the word love out of a piece of Whisper White CS that I had used to test the color combo of the 3 green markers.

Why waste it right?!

I cut the background for the truck using the second largest rectangle die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies, then stamped the word "You" from the Well Said stamp set. I felt the need to add some dots to each scallop to close in the background using my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. Give this background a little dimension too by adding some Stampin' Dimensionals =)

Lastly, I used the same 3 green markers I used to color the truck and made a gradient strip on a scrap piece of Whisper White, then used the long die from the Stitched Be Mine set and cut it out twice. I trimmed the pieces then glued them together to make a wider strip.

Then I finished it off with some Whisper White Bakers Twine and some of the Twine out of the November Paper Pumpkin "Winter Gifts"

I hope you enjoy this card! Let me know if it inspires you, or what you thought of it in the comments below. I love hearing from you =)

Happy Stampin'!
