Christmas season cASE card

Why not CASE a card? CASE stands for Copy and Selective Edit. When you CASE, you can copy it exactly, or selectively edit it by changing the colors or the stamp set or both. Today is a close case with simply changing the stamp set. The colors, embossing folder and layout are the same.

The card on the left is the card featured in the Annual Catalog on page 90. You can also find this sample at my Stampin’ Up! online store, along with a few others stamped with the Snowflake Wishes stamp set. The embossing was created using the Wintry 3D embossing folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. The Stampin’ Up! sample is embellished with the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels. For my card I colored the Opal Rounds embellishments with the Cherry Cobbler Dark Stampin’ Blend.
