NEW AT SU-COUNTRYSIDE CORNERS & SENDING SMILES

 

This month on our New at SU Blog Hop we are trying something different-we are CASEing each other!!! Yup! This group of International independent demonstrators is featuring our own wonderful creations! 

If you are not aware, CASE means Copy And Share Everything!! We find a creation by one of our amazingly talented hop-mates and CASE it! I was given the wonderful Rachael Coon over at The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael to CASE!!! 

So here's her creation I decided to copy:

If you click on either picture it'll take you directly to her post! Or just simply find her amazing blog from the links down below!!!

Here's what I came up with:

You cans sign your name on the bottom/Parakeet Party!

I didn't have a gift card handy so I just used a piece of white paper to illustrate!

Now it's always nice to have a "plan" when creating! I loved this gift card holder that she came up with!!! Now when CASEing you can copy design, colors, layout, etc.-just about anything in the card you like! I liked the design here but I don't have the products she used! So I pulled out some of my favorite retiring products to feature for one last time! So sad!

The retiring stamp sets are Sending Smiles, Perennial Postage &        Countryside Corners. I'm trying to use up my retiring In-Colors too! Gonna miss this Parakeet Party so much!!! The dies used are Sending, Scalloped Corners and Countryside Corners (the only on-retiring product on the card!!!) Throw in some Basic Pearls colored with the matching Stampin' Blends & ya got a nice embellishment!!!!

So hope you enjoyed this CASE! I'm lovin' Rachael's blog & hope you do to! Be sure to visit it!!!! As well as the other blogs below!!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-EASTER LILIES

 

Happy spring! Well-almost! Here on the Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop we are going "springy" this month-Hopping into spring! I thought that would be a perfect time to create an Easter card!  What is more springy than Easter?!

Here's my card:

This is a "fun fold" of sorts.  I wanted to be able to add some interest to the oh so beautiful Easter Lilies stamp set & dies!!!! This one give a bit of interest with the front panel.  You can just sort of see it here. Hard to photograph it!!!

I simply cut out the center of the front of the card then used it as the top matte.  Stamped & embossed it using the Fern Embossing folder! I thought it went with the ferns that are stamped! 

Simply added a few Brushed Brass Butterflies embellishments to give it that special attention! The sentiment panel is cut from the Countryside Corners Dies.

Of course I had to finish off the inside! Had to make sure the image is in the middle as it's covered by the mat in the front! 

This is a super easy stamp/die set, and it looks soooooo pretty!!!! I think it makes a very special Easter card!

Hope it gave you a "springy feeling"!!! If you want more spring, hop over to     Terri's blog!!!! And keep going! I know I sure need a dose of spring!!!! Simply click on her name here or on the icon below! It'll take you on a "spring fling"!!!!

Happy Stampin'!
