It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends Challenge.  This month we are CASE-ing the catalog.  What does that mean?  Each week a card is chosen from the 2025-26 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog as the card to CASE.  The layout, colors, stamp set, almost anything can be used as inspiration to CASE.

Here's this week's card to CASE.

I chose to CASE the layout.  

I used the newly released Online Exclusive Perfectly Pears bundle and the gorgeous new Painterly Pears DSP.

• Old Olive CS 4-1/4" x 11"
• Painterly Pears DSP 4" x 5-1/4"
• Old Olive CS 3-1/8" x 3-1/8"
• Painterly Pears DSP cut with the Stylish Shapes dies
• Basic White CS cut using the Stylish Shapes dies
• Pear duo die cut from the Painterly Pears DSP using the Perfectly Pears dies
• Tiny label cut in Basic White CS using the Perfectly Pears dies.
• Sentiment inked in Mossy Meadow using the Perfectly Pears stamp set
• 3 Low-Profile Sparkle Dots

Inside a 1" strip of the Painterly Pears DSP.  I am waiting to stamp a sentiment inside until I know who I am sending this to. 

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to check out what the rest of Create with Stamping Friends design team created for the challenge.

It is Thursday and time for a new Create with Stamping Friends challenge.  This month we are "case-ing" the catalog.  You can case the colors, the layout, the technique, really just about anything.  Here's the card we are Case-ing.

I do love this color combination and the look of the blocks behind the image.  I started playing around and finally landed on this.

I used 3 items from the July Online Exclusives-Rustic Centerpiece, Sunflower 3D Embossing folder, and the Low Profile Sparkle Dots.  

• Thick Basic White CS card base 4-1/4" x 11".
• Lost Lagoon CS layer.
• Embossed Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, and Summer Splash CS with the Sunflower 3D folder.
• Cut strips of the embossed colors and arranged them on the Lost Lagoon CS layer.  I tried to keep the design lined up on the different strips.
• Stamped the sunflower image with Tuxedo Black Memento ink on Basic White CS.
• Colored the image using Lemon Lolly, Real Red, Summer Splash, Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends.
• I fussy cut the image out.  I don't mind fussy cutting but this one did take a little patience. 
• The sentiment is from the Perfectly Pears stamp set.  I do like this font a lot.  
• The tag is from the Layers of Beauty dies.
• Love the Low Profile Sparkle Dots.  It added just a little more yellow to the card.

If you would like to see another card from the Rustic Centerpiece stamp set you can go here.  I also posted another card on my Facebook page using the Rustic Centerpiece set.  Yes, I like this one a lot.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Stamping Friends design team created.  Thanks for stopping by.

It is the first of the month which means it is time for the DIY Calendar blog hop!  On the first of every month we get together and share our calendar page for the month.  The calendar template was created by Anne aka the Maui Stamper. If you are interested in purchasing the calendar template please contact Anne.

I used the Perfectly Pears dies (July Online Exclusive debuting July 1) for the flowers and the branch/leaves.  The flowers were cut from Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, and Basic White card stock. The branch leaves were cut from Granny Apple Green card stock.  Each flower has a rhinestone center.  

I originally had a different sentiment on my calendar but it didn't feel authentic given what is going on in the country and the world.  I covered over what I originally stamped  and used a sentiment from the Thankful Garden set.  

Time to check out the rest of the blog hop!
