Let's use INKS for blending on stamps!

Welcome back to the Monday Series, "Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it!"

In this series, I choose a card from one of the Stampin' Up! Catalogs, and show you how to CASE (Copy And Share Everything!) it. Often times I add something here and there or change the colors, or even just something completely different than the CASE card to make it my own. 

Feel free to CASE exactly or put your own twist on it. 

The idea is to just be inspired and not to be afraid to dive in and see where the inspiration takes you. 

Sometimes, I see a card I love, then as I'm creating it I find that the end result is completely different. Ideas come from everywhere and sometimes come to us as we are in the middle of creating. The more you CASE cards and practice, the sooner you will be coming up with ideas all on your own!

Here is the Step-By-Step Video Tutorial so you can play along with me. 

Did that look super east? Well, IT IS!! I hope it inspired you. 

Question: Are you going to try the Ink Bending or Babywipe technique on these flowers?

Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it! Ep. 4 - Shaker Coffee Card

Welcome back to "Let's CASE it, Let's MAKE it" Monday Series Ep. 5 For today's card, we are 'stirring' things up (pun intended) and making a shaking card! Let's think outside the box, get our creative juices (or coffee, in this case, lol) flowing and make this CASE our own!

I really loved this set when I saw it in the Sale-A-Bration 2nd Release Catalog. I knew I had to ink it up and play. In case you didn't know, I'm a coffee nut! I drink at least 2-3 travel mugs of coffee throughout the day, then make a pot of decaf around dinner so I can drink coffee all evening and not be up all night. So this set was going to have a home on my stamp case shelf for sure!

(Image from SAB 2nd Release Catalog Pg.5)

I did find a card to CASE out of the SAB 2nd release catalog, but, for me, it seemed very plain and needed a makeover. What do you think? I decided on my color scheme first. Which was inspired by the new Flowering Foils Designer Series Paper, also in the SAB 2nd release Catalog. I am so in love with this paper! I'm choosing it for EVERY free item I earn in March. A girl has to stock up, right?

Anyhow, I wanted to pair that with some Pear Pizzaz to bring out the gorgeous color of the foils. I think the foil is Rose Gold? I can't be sure but the Copper Embossing Powder is a beautiful match so I went to town! It wasn't until I was nearly done the card that I even thought of making it a shaker card. But boy oh boy was I pleased to find that the 1" circle punch was a really good fit to punch out the center of the cup. The only thing that disappointed me was I didn't have Stampin' Up! sequins to match for the inside of the card. But I found some to match in my stash to save the day!

You can play along with me in the VIDEO

What did you think? Will you be trying to earn this set to make your own cards now too?

Question: Did you prefer the plain and simple card? Or the shaker card?
