CASE = Copy And Share Everything
What does it mean to CASE a handmade card, scrapbook page, or other project? It means we draw creative inspiration from something we see on social media or in a video and use that idea to create something of our own. We might choose to copy that card or project exactly or, perhaps, the layout or color combination.
In this post you’ll see how I CASE’d a Christmas card I received from my friend and Merry Stampers Team Member Donna Bennett. I looked at the Joyful Tidings card Donna made and decided I wanted to CASE it for the card layout. Looking at it further, I realized that by using 4″ x 5 1/4″ pieces of Designer Series Paper for the background layer, I could make 6 cards using one sheet of Designer Series Paper. So why not make a set of 6 cards and use up some of my paper? Great idea, right?
Stampin’ Up! products featured in this video tutorial include the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper, Darling Dinos Stamp Set, and With You In Mind Stamp Set to make 2 sets of 6 cards each. I REALLY want to use up this DSP!!!
Enjoy this video on CASEing, then grab some card stock, paper, and stamps and do a little CASEing of your own from these cards. Enjoy the creative time!
