Today’s card may look familiar, that’s because it’s a CASE! It was inspired by the card on the cover of the NEW 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog!
MAKE A CASE! “Copy” means “allow yourself to be influenced by” another paper crafter’s project. CASE-ing is a great way to be inspired! Focus on an aspect of a creation (sketch, colors, images) that you absolutely love and use it to spin something of your own.
The cover showcases the Hues of Happiness Suite Collection, which landed on the list of My Favorite Things from the 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. You can see all of My Favorite Things here.
LOVE THIS! What makes this card so simple is that gorgeous Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper! The floral images were cropped with the coordinating Blossoming Happiness Dies. A couple trips through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, (be sure to take advantage of the MAGNETIC CUTTING PLATE to help keep the dies in place) and you have what you need!

This card is gorgeous, Mary! I love this suite, especially since the dies cut the flowers of some of the designs. Love how you used the notebook edge die and background die on this card along with the beautiful flowers! So pretty! Enjoy your day!
I ADORE your card…..And this suite is a MUST HAVE!
