New at SU April Blog Hop- CASE a Team Member

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of StampinUp! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! Today we are showing how you can *CASE a card by CASEing our own team of Blog Hoppers!

*CASE has many meanings. I know it as Copy And Share Everything



I got the honor to CASE Diane Browning's Winter Owl Gift Card Holder! She made this card for one of our past New At SU Blog Hops. 
You can see every angle of her card by using the link below! I used her card dimensions and not so much her design. But we have some similarities. See if you can spot them! 



I used the Gap & Gown stamp set! It is almost graduation season (and I have a Senior this year). I always give a gift card to the new graduates! So a card that can hold a gift card is perfect for me and was why I was drawn to Diane's card. 


Inside of the card opens up to another fun greeting, die cut numbers of the graduation year (from the Alphabet A La Mode), and Designer Series Paper, Delightfully Eclectic (50% off right now).  


Just like Diane, I created a pocket for the gift card and used Designer Series Paper in the same way! 

Isn't it fun to see a Fun Fold using different products? The fun doesn't have to stop here! 
Please use the link below to continue your hop! 


I am happy to answer any questions about the techniques shown here! Please contact your StampinUp! demonstrator to make a product purchase. If you do not have a demonstrator, you can use the links below to order products from me or join my team.
