Welcome to the April 2023 New at SU! Blog Hop.
This month we are CASE-ing the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog. I have chosen to case the Mother's Day card on pg 36. When you CASE (Case And Selectively Edit) a card you can copy the layout, a technique, a sketch, or the colors. I fell in love with the card design, those scalloped edges with the heart border just sang to me. Of course I also love the marigolds because they remind me of carnations (my mothers favorite flower).

And then along came my Pre-Order from the new Annual 2023-2024 Catalog. The Cheerful Daisies Bundle, the Moody Mauve In Color Cardstock & the Bubble Bath Cardstock just took over my previous plans.
The card base, heart borders & Floral die cuts are Moody Mauve Cardstock. I embossed the card front with the crosshatched embossing folder (one of three Basic 3D Embossing Folders), then using the scalloped heart border die from the Marigold Moments Dies, I die cut my card front. I used the same die on a strip of Moody Mauve Cardstock and die cut two of the borders and adhered them to my card front with dots of Liquid Glue. I die cut the detailed flowers on Bubble Bath Cardstock, I left them in the cardstock i had cut them from and colored the centers with Moody Mauve Ink using a Small Blending Brush.
I adhered these to the Moody Mauve floral die cut with Liquid Glue. I did die cut some more of the leaves and performed die cut surgery to the original die cut so that I would have enough leaves. I heat embossed the sentiment with White Stampin' Emboss Powder on a strip of the Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP). then die cut the sentiment and a mat with the Cheerful Daisies Dies. The assembled card front is popped up on the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals. I adhered the flowers with Dimensionals too. I added a 3/8" Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon bow and a few Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to finish this project.
I hope you have been inspired to try a CASE of your own. There are more CASEd projects for you to see. I know I can't wait to see the next Case on our hop.
I'm sorry I won't have any product links to share with you until the new catalog goes live.
