CASE = Copy And Share Everything = Copy And Selectively Edit
As a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and owner of Stampin’ Peace with Mary Knabe, Creating, Sharing, and inspiring others is my passion! I’m here to share with YOU creative projects for using your stamping and paper crafting products while also providing tips, tricks, and best practices. Often times, I’ll hear someone say, “I stole” your idea or “I stole this idea from so & so”. Drawing inspiration from others is NOT stealing. You are simply CASEing something that appeals to you. And I personally consider that to be an incredible compliment to the creator.
CASEing ideas for inspiration is well respected and highly encouraged in the crafting community and our Stampin’ Up! family. It’s how we learn and become even more creative than we already are! It’s how we get inspiration to create new project and try new techniques, And when WE share our ideas, we then inspire others who want to CASE as well.
Enjoy this video as I show you 2 cards I made by CASEIng a card I received from a friend and fellow SU! Demonstrator Ashley Zock. Ashley’s card as you will see in the video was made with the Take To The Sky Suite. I CASEd her card using the Full of Life Suite giving me totally different cards but with the same and very similar layouts as Ashley used.

- Card base = 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″ on long side, fold in half.
- Basic White inside = 4″ x 5 1/4″
- DSP 1 = 3 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
- DSP 2 = 2″ x 4″
- Card stock layer = 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″
- Basic White = 4″ x 2 1/2″
Dimensions for Thinking of You Card:

I sure enjoy receiving handmade cards as “happy mail”. AND I have enjoyed CASEing some of the cards I received for this blog post as well as my previous blog post. And in both blog posts, I featured elements of the bright and colorful Full of Life product suite. I hope you feel comfortable CASEing any of my creative projects and those of others that appeal to you. Drawing inspiration from others helps us learn and grow and be even more creative than we are today. So go ahead and CASE and enjoy the creative process!
Wishing you peace, joy, and happy stamping.
