Let's hear it for the boys!

 

  Hello and Happy Sunday! This week we are featuring masculine cards as our theme because we all need cards for the boys/men in our lives. And with Father's Day just a week away, we hope you'll find some inspiration for your cards this week.

  Up first is this great thank you card, perfect for a Coach, designed by Karla Anders.  So many sports feature whistles (basketball, soccer and swimming just to name a few) and this card is a quick and easy one. Be sure to check out Karla's blog here for more details and photos of her project.  

  And next up is this cute Father's Day card designed by Debbie Naylor. What Dad wouldn't love to receive this whimsical rooster card?  Please hop over to Debbie's blog post here for more information and photos of her project.

Happy Stamping!

  Hello and Happy Sunday! Do you ever feel like you're in a stamping rut and want to find some new card layouts or color combinations to try?  We are here to tell you that the Stampin' Up! catalogs are FULL of inspiration!! Take a look through any of them and you'll find tons of fabulous samples for each stamp set throughout with great layouts and color palettes sure to get your creative juices flowing. 

  Our challenge this week was to look through the Spring Mini catalog and CASE a card using a different stamp set. Haven't heard of CASE'ing? It stands for Copy And Share Everything... basically it means the stamping community encourages that we inspire each other and allow others to create their own designs using our cards that we share as a jumping off point - from the layout, colors used, etc.  Read on to see what inspired our projects from the Spring Mini Catalog....

  Up first is Karla Anders with her beautiful Framed Florets card.  She CASE'd a card from page 72.  Be sure to check out Karla's blog here to find out more about her project this week. 

  And next we have Debbie Naylor's pretty card which also features the Framed Florets bundle. Her card is CASE'd from one on page 38. Hop on over to Debbie's blog post here to get all the details on how she created it.

  Isn't it interesting that both Debbie and Karla used the Framed Florets bundle, but because they CASE'd two completely different cards their designs turned out very different?!  We hope we have shown you what a great resource the Stampin' Up! catalogs are - not only for showing you our great products, but also for inspiration and design ideas.  Thanks for visiting us today and happy stamping!!
