Exploring Cardmaking Techniques: CASE


Softly Sophisticated Sympathy Thoughts Card

Have you ever liked a card so much that you had to make a copy? It happened to me! One of Sheryl Diemer's cards designed and crafted for a demonstrator's swap, caught my attention. Her technique of using the Basic Border dies inspired me to CASE the sympathy card. 

Whenever I CASE a card, I often use the acronym to mean "copy and slightly edit," the paper crafter's design. Today, I wanted to make the exact card to learn Sheryl's process; therefore, here is my "copy and share everything card." After following her instructions, my brain was spinning with ideas on how to "tweak" the recipe with new products in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Watch for my future creations. 
Take care,
Linda Ann

The Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder and stamp are retired. Many stamped florals could be substituted for the card front. 

Any all-over pattern could be substituted for the embossed image. Some examples of embossing folders in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog are:
                • Cane Weave
                • Eyelet
                • Metal Plate
                • Distressed Tile
                • Exposed Brick
