Vintage Flower Adorned Thank You Card - CASEd Card

I cased another one of Chat W's awesome cards.  HERE is the link to her card and blog post.  I changed the type of ribbon, and did not do the tag punches.  I added a sentiment on the front as well.  Here is my version ....

As usual, there is not much to change on one of Chat's cards, I think they are so fabulous, she has such a great eye for composition and colours.  Thanks, Chat for every one of your inspirational cards.

Very Vanilla Floral - CASEd card

I cased this card from Darlene McCallum in THIS post, I don't have the set she used, so I improvised with the ones I have.  Here is my version ... .... .....

I used the same colour scheme as Darlene, I absolutely love that Stampin' Up! has come out with more colours of Seam Binding ribbon.  This one is Rose Red and it coordinates perfectly with the Rose Red Vintage Flower Adornments.  The new Framed Tulips Embossing Folder is so versatile, it can be used for a number of different shapes.
Stamps:  Frames With A Flourish (retired), Tiny Tags flower and sentiment
Ink:  Pear Pizzazz, Rose Red
Cardstock:  Very Vanilla, Rose Red
Other:  Rose Red Seam Binding, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Vintage Flower Adornment
Although I really like cards with lots of layers on them, I also am in love with cards that have only one colour other than the neutral.  They are so peaceful and calming.
Thanks so much for your visit today and Happy Stampin'    ......   Glenda Mollet

Eastern Blooms Birthday Card - CASEd card

On page 112 of the Stampin' Up! Main Catalogue (IBC) 2010-11 there is a cute little box.  I took that idea and made a birthday card out of it, with a bit of a twist using a new product from the Occasions Mini catalogue .......

This card was quick and easy to make (under 10 mins).  I ran the Baja Breeze piece through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.  After inking up the Eastern Blooms flower with Perfect Plum I used the Rock and Roll technique to add some Concord Crush to the outsides of the petals.  Then I popped one of the new Vintage Flower adornments (now available in the Occasions Mini catalogue, page 15) into the center of the flower, then some fussy cutting to cut out the bloom.  I attached a piece of Cardstock weight Vellum to the back of the cut out bloom (using adhesive just in the center of the bloom) and cut out the vellum so it was the same shape as the inked image.  Then I put some dimensionals between the cardstock petal and the vellum petal so the petals stay popped up a bit for some dimension.  The sentiment is stamped in Concord Crush on a piece of Pear Pizzazz and attached to the cardfront, then the flower is attached to that.  Quick an simple and very effective.  You could make this one out of Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, and the flower done in purples as it is, and wow would that be effective.  Hmmmmm,  well off to make another one of these cards using that colour scheme right away!

In a hurry now, gotta make another card (heehee)!  Bye for now ......  Glenda Mollet
