Nicole and I are back On the CASE. Our mission: To work through current Stampin’ Up! catalogs, breaking down gorgeous samples step-by-step, just for you! CASE means to Copy and Share with Everyone, and that is exactly what we do. We hope you enjoy the cards we CASE and the free tutorials included in our posts. Today’s edition features a CASE of one of the Time for Tea decorated tins.
Time for Tea
Decorated Tea Tin
Annual Catalog Page 14 & 15
The Tea Room Suite is so feminine and dainty. The Tea Room Specialty Designer Paper combines subtle, vintage looking patterns with more vibrant patterns in Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana. Copper accents on the coordinating ribbon and vinyl stickers add a touch of elegance. Of course, I was completely mesmerized by the copper tea tins. In fact, it is one of the tea tins which is the focus of today’s CASE. Enjoy!

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Adhere the designer paper to the tin using Tear and Tape Adhesive.
2. Add the vinyl sticker trim around the lid.
3. Die cut the Tea Room Memories & More sentiment card.
4. Stamp the leaves in Old Olive and color using an ink and Blender Pen.
5. Fussy cut the flowers from the Designer Series Paper, as shown.
6. Attached the leaves and the flowers to the back of the sentiment as shown using SNAIL adhesive. Next adhere the sentiment to the tin using dimensionals.
This adorable little tin will be heading off to my great-niece who recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in business. She has moved to Milwaukee to pursue her new career. I will fill the tin with a variety of 4 gift cards in individual envelopes, with directions to open one each week for a month. I hope she has as much fun using them as I had selecting them!
How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
Today’s project is easy! No problems here, for sure. Difficulty Level: 2 out of 5, only because of the fussy cutting.

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! I know what she has CASED…and you will be delighted!
