Garden Impressions Suite – CASE the Catalog
Happy Monday! You have probably seen the Garden Impressions Suite in the catalog. So enjoy this week’s CASE the Catalog sample because it’s a variation of a card on page 128 in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog.
First of all, the card in the catalog uses Soft Seafoam Cardstock as the base. I also used a layer of Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Abstract Impressions stamp set to create the second layer. Because I used the same card design, I changed up the card base to Night of Navy cardstock and because I didn’t stamp the second layer, I decided to use coordinating designs from the Garden Impressions DSP for the two layers below the layer with the sentiment.
Garden Impressions Suite Stamp Set
Due to the DSP having lots of wonderful colors, it certainly makes it great to use for a variety of card designs. Night of Navy ink was used to stamp the sentiment from the Abstract Impressions Stamp Set. Furthermore, it was cut with the next to the largest Stitched Shapes Framelits. Similarly, Mini Gold Sequin Trim and Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine was also added as an embellishment before attaching the sentiment with stampin’ dimensionals.
Below are measurements used for creating the card base design:
Base: cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
Designer Series Paper: first layer 4 1/4″ x 4 1/2″; second layer: 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
Finally, when you are struggling to come up with a card design, remember to look through the catalog for ideas. It’s okay to use the catalog designs and is encouraged. Above all, I want to convey how easy it is to take a design from the catalog. Because when you change up the paper or colors, you probably have a totally different look with the same layout.
