Simple Saturday: Making a Merry CASE with Painted Christmas!

Today’s simple Merry Christmas card was inspired by a card that I snagged from my Stampin’ Pretty Gallery. The card was originally shared on 02/23/2019! You can see that card on my blog post here.

MAKING A CASE – COPY AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE: “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.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

Start with a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base of Basic White Thick card stock.

Use the Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment (Christmas to Remember) in Real Red Classic Ink onto a 3 3/4 x 5 piece of Basic White card stock. Adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals. TIP: Watch my video here and learn how to get the most out of the Stampin’ Up! Cling Stamps.

Layer and adhere a 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 square of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper to 3 x 3 square piece of Evening Evergreen card stock with Stampin Seal.

Wrap with Real Red 3/8 Ribbon and secure with a bow. TIP: I tucked a glue dot below the knot of the bow to help keep it in place.

Adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

PERFECT POLISH! Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere a 2 1/4 x 5 3/4 piece of Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper to the outside flap of a Basic White Medium Envelope. Trim to size with Paper Snips. You can see my video demonstration with tips on adding designer paper to an envelope flap here.

OH, SO PRETTY! The trio of cards below were previously shared on my blog and also use the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set and Painted Christmas Designer Series Paper.
