CASE-ing Myself!

My challenge today was to CASE my card. CASE - to Copy and Share Everything, is a common term in the paper crafting world. I often CASE, taking an element, a layout, some colors, or even an entire card, to create one of my own. So today I'm sharing a CASE of one of my cards.

This is the one I chose to copy:

This card uses the Scrappy Strip technique - adhering strips of cardstock to a base.

So here is today's CASE:

Can you see what I did? I used the Scrappy Strip technique, but I used new colors, changed the orientation of the card, and added a new stamped image. But you can still see the technique.

I've been sending lots of cards to people who are important in my life. Today, as I picked up my groceries at my local market, I left a card in the trunk (where the groceries were being loaded) for the employee who was helping me to keep my distance. And that's when I realized that I also needed to thank my UPS man! He's been on the job, continuing to deliver what we've ordered, and has been very respectful of our space.

So this one is for him!

I love the images in You Always Deliver. This little guy is perfect for coloring - blue for the postal service, and brown for UPS. I stamped him, colored with Stampin' Blends, and cut him out with my Scan-n-Cut. Same with the packages.

And that greeting! Perfect for my delivery man! Stamped with Blueberry Bushel and cut with the Ornate Frames dies.

I enjoyed CASE-ing myself, and I hope my UPS delivery employee likes his card. I don't know what I would do without him!

What am I Delivering?

You Always Deliver is one of my new favorite stamp sets. I love the little delivery guy, and the versatility of this set. Here are two examples:

Let's look in more detail.

I started with a piece of Watercolor Paper and spritzed it with water. Then I sprinkled on some Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Pigment Sprinkles and watched as it exploded into a sunset. I had this card in my mind all day and it came to life just like I expected.

I cut a ray of sunshine and glued it to the cut out delivery box.

After experimenting with placement, I stamped the full sentiment on the Whisper White Stitched Rectangle and then stamped just "sunshine" on my ray of light. This was then added to the card.

My guy was stamped and colored with Stampin' Blends, cut out and adhered to the card front.

I finished by stamping and coloring the dog and spreading a little "dirt" under the characters.

For my second card I colored the man in Stampin' Blends Night of Navy combo.

Card layers include Crumb Cake, stamped with the little stars from the set, another of See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper, a Night of Navy layer from, cut with the Heirloom Frames dies and embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder, and a White Stitched Rectangle.
