Do you Copy & Share?

Have you heard of the term CASEd? This term has long been used by the Stampin' Up! community and stands for Copy And Share Everything.

More recently, I've also seen this term used as Copy And Selectively Edit.

What does that mean?

For us crafters, as not everyone feels creative all the time (or some of us may never feel that way), we look to find inspiration from other crafters and other sources! 

We are so often inspired by samples in the catalogues, as well as what others make, that it's easy just to recreate a card, scrapbook page, or other project that we've seen elsewhere.

And, there is nothing wrong with that. 

In fact, Stampin' Up! uses CASEd for exactly this purpose!

They encourage us to use the catalogue, online images and more to recreate projects.

As demonstrator, we even have access to a "Sample Recipes" sheet that lists all products used in the catalogue samples and Online Exclusives or other specials etc.

Here is a card I made, inspired by a sample in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalogue (page 40).

The sample in the catalogue is actually a Scalloped Gift Box. I edited this design ever so slightly to create a card instead.

What do you think? Personally, I'm happy with how it turned out!

Products used include:

• Basic White cardstock
• Crumb Cake cardstock
• Wildly Flowering 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper
• 2023-2025 In Colour Jute Trim
• Iridescent Foil Gems
• Greetings of the Season Dies
• Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set
• Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad

CASEing the Catalogue

The new 2023-2024 Annual Catalogue is LIVE today.

My first play with some of the new products is the first Suite Collection in the catalogue - the Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection. I loved everything about this suite - the colours, the stamps, the dies and the Specialty Paper!

I also loved the samples on page 14 that I CASEd them (CASE = Copy And Share Everything).

There are some slight variations depending on the products I had on hand and altering the size of the card for one.

These cards were in my Cards to Go Kit last month with the addition of this next card which is in Moody Mauve - one of the 2023-2025 In Colors.

Which is your favourite?

Celebrating team members

My team member and friend Pauline Bennetts recently had couple of new team members join her. So, the least I could do was send her a card to celebrate!

I CASEd this one from the current Annual Catalogue. The project in the catalogue actually used one of the Ombre Gift Bags, but I chose to make it a card instead.

I'm quite happy with how it turned out.
