Notes of Kindness

It’s time for CASE the Catalog!!  As you may remember, last week I announced my new weekly segment.  This week I have a few different cards from the Notes of Kindness card kit.  I hope you enjoy them all. 

The cards below are various cards from the Notes of Kindness card kit.  It’s a wonderful kit and I have a picture of the contents below.  Remember, our kits come with refills as well.  The coordinating colors are Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Blushing Bride, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow, Soft Sea Foam.

Notes of Kindness Catalog Casing

The first card samples have two different sentiments.  Both are large and to the point.  I love the flowers. In each case, the flower is the focal point but the sentiments also make the cards.

So these next cards are a little more different.  One has a large sentiment in the center which is the card from the kit.  The second card has the larger image and the sentiment smaller with less focus.  A great alternate.


Additionally, I wanted to give you two samples with the same image and sentiment but the placing is a bit different.  One card is landscape oriented while the other is portrait.  Same images, style and sentiment with just a turn of the cardstock.


Finally, I have two cards with the same style.  The difference is in the actual sentiment rather than the style.  There was also the addition of Twine on one card and Pearls on the other.

As a result, CASE the catalog is also becoming my favorite segment each week.  I greatly enjoy bringing you new ideas and inspiration.  Additionally, once the Holiday catalog is released, I will CASE from that catalog as well.  Therefore, you have so much to look forward to over the next several week.  Enjoy!

A Beautiful Backdrop

I love to share cards with you created using new stamp sets.  The Lilypad Lake stamp set is a new favorite.  The images make it so easy to create cards with a beautiful backdrop.  I have a card below and even added the lily pad to the envelope to help for effect.  Your friends and family will love what you do with this stamp set any time of year.  It has some beautiful sentiments as well to go with it.

Here is my Beautiful Backdrop Card

The card is easy to put together.  I used the Lilypad Lake stamp set.  In addition to the Whisper White Thick card stock, I used the new Balmy Blue card stock.  Additionally, you need the Tuxedo Black memento ink for stamping the images.  Also, the Old Olive & Daffodil Delight Stampin blends for coloring lily pads on the card and the envelope front.

Here is a tip: Insert a scrap of paper inside of the envelope when coloring with Stampin’ Blends.  This will help to prevent ink from bleeding through to back of the envelope because the Stampin’ Blends are so vibrant.

It’s A Tropical Paradise

It really is a Tropical Paradise when you create with the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I have decided to feature a “CASE the Catalog” weekly segment.  Each week, I plan to make a new card or project from the catalog. 

Since the Designer Series Paper Sale going on, I thought I would start with the Tropical Escape DSP and the Tropical Chic stamp set.  The whole look really makes me think of a tropical vacation.  The paper has such a soothing feel and really allows you to have some unique projects.  The first card uses products from the Tropical Chic bundle.  Because you get the 10% savings on bundles, I highly recommend purchasing bundles whenever you can.  The ribbon was a great addition for me on this card.

Tropical Escape

Case the Catalog Tropical Escape Project One

This next card is probably a favorite of mine because of the negative part of the cardstock as a “window” of sorts.  I was drawn to it when I saw it in the catalog.  The darker leaves coordinate nicely with the DSP background.  I did leave off the stitching for my version.

Tropical Escape, Case the Catalog

Case the Catalog Tropical Escape Project Two

Finally I have a 3D project for last.  How cute is this box.  It’s kind of a blending of all the cards on page 120 of the catalog (which is where you can find the samples above, but you probably knew that).  While the sentiment can be changed for any occasion, I like to use encouraging phrases.  I find that family and friends rather have hand made projects.  They certainly feel loved when they receive them.

Tropical Chic Treat Box

If there is a card or project from the catalog that you could like to see, just let me know and I will try and include it in a segment.  I am open to various ideas to include all occasions.  Also, let’s not forget about “just because” cards.
