CASE-ing Tuesday #126:  You’re Inspiring

Daffodils in December?  That’s what I thought two weeks ago when I walked around to the side of my house and saw my daffodils blooming.  We may live in the South, but my bulbs have never bloomed this early before!  And wouldn’t you know, just five days later we had snow!

So, when the new You’re Inspiring stamp set (available Jan. 3) arrived in my pre-order box last week, I knew I had to use it for this week’s CASE-ing challenge.  

This week’s CASE-ing challenge comes from page 223 from the 2017 Annual Catalog, featuring the Tranquil Tulips host set.   This hostess set has been a big hit with all my classes and I wanted to look for something that will be just as popular.   I think the new You’re Inspiring set from the 2018 Occasions Catalog (available Jan. 3), with beautiful spring flowers and sentiments from birthday, Easter, Mother’s Day, and just simply inspirational, will be just that.   

Do you have your own copy of the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs?  Contact you Stampin’ Up! demonstrator for your copy.  Don’t have a demonstrator?  Email me and I’d be happy to send you a copy if you need one.    

What is CASE-ing? CASE stands for Copy And Share Everything. When you CASE you can change nothing,  just a few things,  or everything!  Play along and join the fun!

​Come play along with us!  CASE-ing is a great way to improve your stamping and challenge yourself to try new styles.  Create a card based on the above pattern and then post it on the Facebook Post.  Or, if you post it elsewhere on Facebook, you can use the hashtag #CASEingtuesday126.
