Nicole and I are back On the CASE. Our mission: To work through current Stampin’ Up! catalogs, and break down gorgeous samples step-by-step, just for you! CASE means to Copy and Share with Everyone, and that is exactly what we will be doing. We hope you enjoy the cards we CASE and the free tutorials included in our posts. Let’s get stampin’!
On the CASE: Hold on to Hope
A Baptism Card
Occasion Catalog Page 27
The baptism card created with the Hold on to Hope set is a beautiful card, rich with texture. The Calypso Coral designer paper and Pool Party cardstock are stunning against the Whisper White. The catalog sample is a little smaller than the one I created. Mine is 4″ x 4″. I hope you enjoy today’s CASE.

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
- Score the Whisper White cardstock at 4″ to form the card base. Emboss the front with the Garden Trellis Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
2. Using the largest scalloped Layering Squares Framelits, cut a square of Pool Party cardstock.
3. Stamp the flowers and vine image in Calypso Coral.
4. Stamp the sentiment in Archival Basic Black. Adhere to the Pool Party scalloped square.
5. Die cut two crosses: one from Whisper White and one from Pool Party.
Insert the Pool Party middle into the Whisper White outline. Adhere to the sentiment panel as shown.
6. Wrap Silver Baker’s Twine around the card twice, and tie in a bow on the left side. Adhere the sentiment panel to the card base with dimensionals. Embellish with a single rhinestone in the center of the cross.
How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
Nothing tricky here! It’s a fun card to create, and I hope you will give it a try! Difficulty Level: 2 out of 5, only because it takes a little time to do the embossing and die cutting.
#SUontheCASE
Nicole and I hope our projects today inspire you to try CASEing the catalog, too! We’ll be “on the case”, looking for the hashtag #SUontheCASE on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+ & Pinterest). If we find one of your projects, we’ll share it, like it, repost it – we’ll do it all!
Now head on over to Nicole at Pixel Maven’s Retreat to see the CASE file she has been working on. Nicole always writes the BEST tutorials! What she has CASED is a cutie patootie card for sure!
