CASEing Tuesday for November 20, 2018

#stampinup, 2018 Stampin Up Holiday Catalog, 2018-19 Annual catalog, Cards, CASEing Tuesday, Christmas, Holidays, pictures, stamping Leave a comment

This week’s card uses several layers but the stamping is simple (#simplestamping). Here is a picture of the catalog card and my card.

I used the Illuminated Christmas stamp set in the Holiday Catalog. I embossed a layer of Night of Navy card stock and mounted on a card base of the same color.

Next I made a banner out of some yellow with design designer series paper and then a white layer with the stamped images. I used vellum for the greeting and added a navy twine bow, metallic silver thread and some rhinestones.

I finished the inside as well with stamps from the same set. All products are Stampin Up.

If you are interested in purchasing any of these products, please go to my store at darleneseitz.stampinup.net. please use current host code of PQEUH7HT (for orders less than $150.) and receive a free gift from me.

Thank you and happy stamping.

Not only is it caseing Tuesday but it is the day before the 2018 Holiday catalog goes live. Yeah. Therefore, I have chosen to use a new Bundle from the catalog for this week’s CASE.

The original card is found on page 38 of the Holiday catalog. That card and mine are shown below.

The Bundle I used is Cauldron Bubble which includes the stamp set and dies. I just used the stamp set, plus some accessories from the Suite, Toil & Trouble. Accessories include Basic Black blends, Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon and Spider Trinkets. This suite is found on page 48 & 49 of the H.C. I also used the Buffalo Check background stamp found on page 38 of the H. C. In addition to the above, Mango Melody, and black ink and Mango Melody and Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White paper along with coordinating blends and markers.

I hope this card will inspire you to start your crafting for the holidays. If you need a catalog, please leave a comment. To purchase products, please use this link to my online store darleneseitz.stampinup.net. The current Host code is HYYPVVUB. Please use on your order to get a free gift from me.

Till next week,

#CASEing Tuesday 131 for January 23, 2018

#stampinup, #valentines day, 2017 Holiday Catalog, 2017-18 Annual Catalog, 2018 Occasions Catalog, Cards, CASEing Tuesday, Holidays, pictures, stamping, Uncategorized Leave a comment

Today I am sharing my #CASEingtuesday131 card. It is based off the card in the Occasions Catalog on page 4. See below for both cards.

I changed the shape of the card, added an extra layer and some embellishments. I wanted to go with a Valentine’s theme so I used a carryover set from the last Holiday Catalog called Festive Seasons (page 45 of the 2017 Holiday Catalog) . It can also be found in my on-line store. It is a multi season set that can be used for Christmas, Halloween and Valentine’s .

I also used a set we have in the Annual Catalog called Bloomin’ Love (page 88) which is very popular and can be used for Valentine’s or all year long. I also used Real Red, Blushing Bride inks and cardstock (page 186 of annual catalog) along with Whisper White cardstock (page 194 of annual catalog). I included some embellishments, Metallic Enamel Shapes and Enamel Shapes both found in the annual catalog on page 196 (and in my on-line store). The flower used is not current but can be replaced with anything appropriate for the occasion.

Please check out the Facebook page CASEing Tuesday and join us each Tuesday. You do not have to blog to participate.

Thank you for viewing my blog and if you would like to purchase any of the products, please visit my on-line store at darleneseitz.stampinup.net or contact me at darstz@hotmail.com.

CASEing Tuesday-Last of the Christmas Cards 2017

#stampinup, 2017 Holiday Catalog, Cards, CASEing Tuesday, Christmas, Holidays, pictures, stamping, Uncategorized Leave a comment

I hope you all had a great Christmas.   Here is this week’s CASEing Tuesday Card. 

It is based on the card shown on page 4 of the Holiday catalog.   

I made some changes in the colors and arrangement of the trees and banner but the design is basically the same.  The cards use the Bundle Christmas Quilt and several of the accessories shown on page 5 of the Holiday catalog.   They are:  Stitched Felt Embellishments, Quilt Top Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the  Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper.   This is a great set that can be used all year long. It is still available in my on-line store darleneseitz.stampinup.net.  

As always,  Happy Crafting

CASEing Tuesday Card for 12/19/2017

#stampinup, 2017 Holiday Catalog, Cards, CASEing Tuesday, Christmas, deals, Holidays, pictures, stamping, Uncategorized Leave a comment

Here is this weeks card.   It is based off the card shown in the annual catalog on page 223 (top right corner).  I stayed pretty true to the design.  I used an old retired set but this could easily be made with the Good Tidings set still available from Stampin Up. I also used the two largest dies from the Lots of Labels framelits.  I can’t seem to stop making Christmas cards. 

Don’t forget to check out the retiring list and discounted items in my on-line store.   Also, the Clearance rack has been updated with new items.  Here is the link to my on-line store darleneseitz.stampinup.net.  

As always,  Happy Crafting,

CASEing Tuesday Card for this week

  • Here is this weeks CASEing Tuesday Card.   I have used the Painted Harvest set and made the flowers into wreaths.  I used both flower stamps and used Lemon Lime Twist and Old Olive as the color combinations.  Each wreath was stamped a little different using different layer combinations and color.  I also used Cherry Cobbler and the dot stamp that comes with the set as well as for the greeting wording.  I added small bows using twine.  The design was from the card in the Holiday Catalog on page 48, bottom left.  Here is the picture. 
  • There is still time to shop from the Holiday Catalog.   This set will not be retiring when the catalog sales period ends on January 2, 2018.  However don’t wait to order as it is a very versatile set that can be used all year long.  The link to my on-line store is darleneseitz.stampinup.net.
  • Also, the retiring items from the catalog (holiday) have been announced AND many are currently on sale.  Don’t miss out on these year end specials.  See my on-line store for details under Store.  darleneseitz.stampinup.net.

So it’s Tuesday, as you know, so time for another CASEing Tuesday Card.  

This card is based on the card on page 27 of the Stampin Up Holiday Catalog (left side, blue).  I made it into a shaker card and added some layers.  I also used some October Paper Pumpkin materials.  Paper Pumpkin is so versatile that you can create many more items than the intended projects.  To order products used to create this card and many more, see my on-line store  darleneseitz.stampinup.net.

Holiday Catalog–Stampin’ Up! Carols of Christmas

#stampinup, 2017 Holiday Catalog, Cards, Carols of Christmas, Christmas, deals, Holidays, Uncategorized 1 Comment

Stampin’ Up! has released their new catalog and I hope you are enjoying crafting with some of the new products.  Today, I will start a series of blogs on some of the individual products and/or suites.  For today, I will be showcasing the Carols of Christmas Bundle.

carolsxmas2017

The set (see above) comes with a variety of stamps with big bold greeting.  The matching thinlits have some images that match the stamps and some that you can add to your stamped images.  You can make entirely different cards from this set without anyone knowing you used the same set.  You can also use the border die all year round.  It adds such a nice detail to your cards.   The card also adds the ornaments, which you can die cut, and some rhinestones and ribbon.   Here is a card using the border die:

The set also comes with another big bold greeting Peace on Earth which is showcased in the card shown below.  Adding small details such as the poinsettias and rhinestones with some of the fabulous new striped ribbon finishes off the card.  Oh, and I can’t forget the Designer Series Paper, called Be Merry, which is actually in the Annual Catalog.  (I will list all products with their product number at the end of the post).

20170910_101405(1)

The next card is an entirely different look and uses die cut images.  The sky with the moon and the stars (highlighted with Gold Foil) truly sets the card apart than just having a blank space.  And this die can be used with many sets/cards and year round.  DSP is used again (Be Merry) for the trees which includes white specks for a look of snow.  DSP from the Naturally Eclectic pack is used for the background. The small deers are also  made using die cuts.  You can add any greeting you want to this card or leave the front blank and stamp the inside.  I used the Peace on Earth greeting for the inside.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING…

carolsxmas2017

Seems for me it’s never too early to start getting ready for Christmas.  Stampin’ Up! is going to release their Holiday Catalog on September 1, 2017.  In the meantime, The Carols of Christmas Bundle is being released early (8/1) so you can get a jump on making your Christmas cards.  There are some neat stamps and dies that make for a wow card yet you can go simple with this set of stamps because of the large greetings.

These two cards feature the Peace on Earth greeting.  They both also use the trees.  The one on the right is a shaker card and also uses the sky/moon/stars die on the top.  The one on the left is a fairly simple one which would be perfect for mass producing cards.

These two use the Deck the Halls greeting and the border  which is a real versatile die that could be used all year long.  The one on the left is a good idea for using the set with your family picture included.  Vellum cardstock is used for the top layer and can be picked up so your friends and family can see the picture more clearly.

These products can be ordered separatly or as a bundle and you save 10% when you bundle.  Visit my on-line store at  darleneseitz.stampinup.net  or contact me today at darstz@hotmail.com.  You can also leave a comment on this blog.

Thanks all for today…I have to get back to making some Christmas cards using Carols of Christmas.
