Each Thursday my Border Buddy Alison Solven from Canada and I take turns creating a card that we CASED from a current Stampin’ Up! catalog. CASE stands for (Copy And Selectively Edit). We like to show you how you can use the paper crafting projects in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog to inspire you!
Mango Melody is bright and bold and can make a great statement. I love the POP it gives this card.
When you CASE, you can copy it exactly, or selectively edit it by changing the colors or the stamp set or both.
Today I used the same colors but changed out the stamp sets. The concept artist used the Floating & Fluttering stamp set and Fluttering Dies. I used the Butterfly Gala stamp set for the butterflies, the Always in My Heart for the leaves and the Forever Blooms for the sentiment.

- Fold the Mango Melody in half at the score mark to create card base.

- Cut out the leaves with the coordinating dies and adhere to the layer with Stampin" Dimensionals hanging over as needed.

Good morning, Patsy. I like the idea that you used the Butterfly Gala stamp set instead of the Floating & Fluttering stamp set. Your card seems more pleasing to the eye…it’s not quite as busy as the other one. Thank you for sharing your time, talents, and creative imagination with us.
Stay safe and healthy.
