CASE Monday - Avant Garden Round 2

Hello, my stamping friend and happy Monday!
Today I am sharing another CASE card using Avant Garden stamp set. I can not put this stamp away for last 2 weeks. This is my favorite stamp at the moment. It has many different sentiments - perfect for any occasions. It is also so much fun to use different colors for flowers.

Pick any 2 close colors for the flower and any green - and you will have many combinations.
This one is So Saffron and Delightful Dijon - and my favorite from all of them:

Flirty Flamingo and Watermelon Wonder - very bright and cheerful:

 Sweet sugarplum and Pretty in Pink - very soft and settled:

Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant - great combo for any taste:

I used Pear Pizazz as my green and stamped it of for some leafs.
The layout is very simple:

• Card front is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, use darker color of 2 you are selecting
• Lighter color - 4 x 5 1/4
• Whisper White - 3 3/4 x 5 for stamping

The best part of it - the stamp is FREE as a part of the Sale-A-Bration promo (free with $50 order).
What color will you choose?
Happy Casing!

Make a Medallion with Glimmer

Hello my stamping friend!
Today I want to share with you my creation using Make a Medallion stamp set.
This new FREE SAB stamp is amazing. To be honest, I did not consider it at first. But when my stamping friend picked it as her first choice - I looked at it closer and get one for myself. Two step stamping has so many possibilities when you come to color choices. This color combo idea came from the glimmer paper: sweet sugarplum plus darker natural (soft suede in this case):

This is the card we did at my Crafting Happy Hour class at local wine shop. Very quick and easy.
How Tos:

• Card base - Sweet Sugarplum 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4"
• Glimmer paper - 3/4 x 5 1/2, adhere to the left side of the card front
• Whisper White piece - 3 x 4 1/4, randomly stamp the medallions in 2 colors. I find it easier to start with one that has inside.
• Soft Suede 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. Adhere whisper white stamping piece to it, add with dimensionals to card front
• Stamp sentiment on 1/2 x 3 1/4 strip of whisper white. Mont it to 3/4 x 3 1/4 piece of soft suede. Add on top of medallion piece with dimensionals
• Add rhinestones as desired.

Mint Macaroon and Bermuda Bay glimmer paper are waiting for their turn. Need to think about good color companion for them. Have an idea?
Happy Stamping!

CASE Monday - Avant Garden

Hello, my stamping friend.
I will be starting new series called CASE Monday. We all love to check Pinterest or our favorite stamping sites for ideas before creating. Or sometime you come across the idea and would like to stop everything and go make that card. This series will be just that - my favorite ideas from other crafters with some twist.
Colorful Avant Garden idea came after watching Tami White's video. Tami is my upline and I love to follow her creations. After watching that video - I immediately dropped everything to try recreate cards in different colors. Here is my take on it:

I just changed greeting stamp as I needed some Thank You cards and tried another color combos.
This is original card using Peekaboo Peach and Calypso Coral:

 This one is Soft Sky and Marina Mist, I also used Pear Pizazz instead of Mint Macaroon for the leafs

Crushed Curry and So Saffron:

Sweet Sugarplum and Pretty in Pink:

 How Tos:

• Card front is 8.5 x 5.5 piece of cardstock scorred at 4 1/4
• Whisper white - 4 x 5 1/4. Take a framelit that you will use for sentiment and lightly trace inside of it on the whisper white piece. This will give you idea where to stamp flowers and leaves
• Stamp flowers and leaves as desired. Adhere to cardfront
• Cut 2 leaves from copper foil with Botanical framlit. Adhere to the whisper white stamped piece.
• Stamp sentiment on a scrap of whisper white, cut with the ftamelit
• Add greeting with dimenstionals

This is it! I suggest to do 2 cards each of the same color. You also have an option to use Mint Macaroon as a card front.
What Color is your favorite? What other combinations you can think of? Leave me a comment and I will send you one of this cards.
