Case It Up Tuesday!

Hello and Welcome!

Welcome to today's post! It's that time again...time to CASE IT UP! I am currently in Orlando, FL on a work trip enjoying some beautiful sunshine, relaxing, taking in the scenery...oh and learning all about accounting in the world of K-12 schools.  All that being said, I took this week to CASE up a card that I posted previously.  I am also currently working on the samples for my next class to be held on March 16th and this will be one of the card's featured during that class.

And here is today's project...

You can check out the previous card HERE that served as this week's inspiration.  I have to confess that the Magnolia Suite has been one of my favorites.  The coordinating colors, subtle designs and comforting flowers just make this suite a joy to work with every time I pull it off the shelf! This card is on the simple side and that is also one of the things I love about it.  I think you could easily "step up" this card with more flowers underneath the sentiment or even a few additional embellishments.  I can't wait to see how my crafters will make this card their own! How would you make it your own?!

Card Details
Size: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Paper: Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Magnolia Lane DSP, Whisper White
Ink: Mossy Meadow
Stamps: Good Morning Magnolia
Tools: Beautiful Layers die-cuts, Sprig Punch, Layering Circles die-cuts
Accessories: Pearl embellishments

Keep Austin Crafty!

Card: A Friendly Thank You!

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! Our next holiday is upon us and I hope everyone has been having fun putting together your beautiful and fun Valentine's Day cards! I held my latest workshop which featured a wide variety of samples to choose from and it was a wonderfully fun day! But a crafter's work is never done...

Today I wanted to feature a card that felt a little out of my comfort zone, but I love the way it turned out! It is not a traditional Valentine, but it does feature the brilliant reds, pinks, blacks and whites that can make a Valentine's Day card really pop!  

And here is today's card...

I pulled out some "oldies but goodies" for today's card and combined them with some of that brilliant Valentine's Day From My Heart DSP.  The card base starts with a simple sheet of Whisper White and is layered with...here comes your "oldie but goodie"...a sheet from the Botanical Butterfly DSP that was available with a previous Stampin' Up! release.  The next layers combine Real Red, Basic Black and Flirty Flamingo which help to tie that cute, little heart die-cut at the right corner.  I even used some old scraps from past Paper Pumpkin kits including the "Thank You" stamp as well as the vellum leaves.  And who doesn't love the Sprig Punch? I have found that that is one of the most versatile punches! Add that POP of Personality with the From My Heart Faceted Gems and you have a beautifully inspired Thank You card for a special friend! 

As I was looking through my stamp stash, I found the inside sentiment from the "A Big Thank You" set.  Again, an "oldie but a goodie" that I thought it was a perfect finish to today's card!  This is your reminder not to forget about those Annual Catalog items! 

Card Details

Size: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"

Paper: Whisper White, Botanical Butterfly DSP, Real Red, Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, From My Heart DSP, Vellum

Ink: Tuxedo Black, Real Red

Stamps: 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit, A Big Thank You, Half Full
