Julie's Creative Stamping: Tulip Fields Catalog Case Window Scene

So glad your taking time to check out my blog today! In the card making world we sometimes hear the word "case". What does that mean? Case or Casing is when you see a card and copy it, most times you will change it up a little as in changing colors used, stamp sets used, die cuts used or using different Designer Series Paper. When I case a card I always try to acknowledge the person that I got the idea from. Just a good practice. So with that said, for this card I actually cased the card in the Stampin Up® mini catalog. So many of us keep our old catalogs because it give us a good base line for layout for cards.

I had a team challenge to case a card from the catalog and this was my card. It was a fun team challenge and great to see how each of us took the original layout and changed it up to fit either what we had in stock or simply just changing up colors! This card was on the cover of the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog and I changed up the Designer Series Paper, colors, and the scene itself.

Here are the card cuts, instructions and supply list:
