Last night, I just wanted to craft. But here’s the problem…I wasn’t feeling very creative! I picked up numerous stamp set sand papers and nothing felt right. More ended up in the recycling bin than in my collection. Thank goodness for #CaseingTuesday! When you’ve lost your creative spark, case-ing (Copy and Share Everything) is the way to go. Knowing you can copy someone else’s work, or in this case, the Stampin’ Up! catalog, frees up part of the creative side of you. You may change the stamps and paper, but you still have the same basic design.
This week, I simplified the design. I fussed and futzed with that ribbon forever before I just finally took it off altogether. In the end, my design may seem plain, but it freed me up to finish the card and move on to something new. I pulled out the new So Hoppy Together stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog and made 2 cards in no time. I can’t wait to show you!
Did you see I managed to use this week’s Tags & Tidings Product of the Week, too?

Makeover the card (pictured above). You can change a lot, a little or make the card just as it is in the catalog. Then post it to the Facebook thread. We can’t wait to see your cards. You can use the following hashtag if you post your card elsewhere on Facebook #CASEingtuesday175.
