Mixed Media CASE’d card – CASE A Friend Blog Hop

Posted on December 18, 2024December 14, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the CASE a Friend Blog Hop. CASE means ‘copy and share everything’ or ‘copy and selectively edit’ and I have chosen the second option and a card designed by Karen Ksenzakovic of creativestampingdesigns.com, I also used a stamp set which will be available from the 7^th January 2025 from my online store called Mixed Media.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the mixed media card, you will need:

Pebbled Path card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Melon Mamo card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Pebbled Path card – 3½” by 1⅛” – 3
Bloom Impressions dsp -3⅜” by 1” x 3
Basic White card -5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card

I ran the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Basic White card through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Forever Plaid Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then adhered to the Melon Mambo layer and then to the Pebbled Path card front.

The Attention Shoppers stamp set and co-ordinating Dies from Stampin' Up! and used to CASE a card from Mikaela Titheridges' Blog

Mikaela’s CASE’d card

Posted on June 12, 2024May 30, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Today I have CASEd a card designed by my lovely team leader Mikaela Titheridge. This was one of the cards Mikaela showcased in her OnStage presentation using the adorable Attention Shoppers bundle. I have changed the colour palette and modified the design to make it my own.

Colours in this card are:

To recreate the Mikaela’s CASE’d card, you will need:

Smoky Slate card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Smoky Slate card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4⅛” by 2½”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Scrap Basic White card and 2024 – 2026 In Color dsp

I embossed the 5½” by 3¾” panel of Smoky Slate card using one of the online exclusive 3D Embossing Folders. I added the embossed piece to the Smoky Slate card front using Mini Glue Dots. I wanted a little height but a double layer of Dimensionals really increases the postage in the UK.

A label was die cut from the 4⅛” by 2½” piece of Basic White card. I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the label and set it aside.

On scrap Basic White card, I stamped a number of the house plant images, leaves only, a couple of bouquets and a bottle in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I die cut them out using the Attention Shoppers Dies. Using the following Blends I coloured in the images – Peach Pie, Lemon Lolly, Old Olive & Smoky Slate.

The bouquet was stamped again onto a scrap of 2024 – 2026 In Color dsp and fussy cut the wrapping using sharp Scissors and glued it onto the die cut bouquet. I also cut apart one of the bouquets stamped on the scrap Basic White card to give me extra flowers.

The leaves, flowers, bottle and bouquet were then added under and on top of the die cut label. This decorated piece was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

I hope you like my version.

I have kept many of the elements from the original card but wanted to use brighter, richer colours.
