C.A.S.E. from Heather Klump using Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamps

Today's card is CASE'd from fellow Demonstrator Heather Klump. CASE means Copy And Share Everything. I believe CASEing is a great idea but that you should always try to ask and give credit where it is due if possible.

This card was so fun to make, I may make a video on how to do it? What do you think?

As you can see Heather's original design used the 2012 - 2014 In Colors and I chose the 2011 - 2013 In Colors. There are a couple of other small changes I made, but I really just fell in love with the simplicity and the humor of the card she made using the new Photopolymer stamp set. It is especially meaningful to me, as I have no sense of direction. In fact, my father in law bought me a GPS last year for Christmas!

Stamps:
Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set #132956

Paper and Ink:
2011 - 2013 In Color Cardstock and inkpad kit #122993 $29.95 pg 152

Tools:
Clear Block A
Clear Block C
Clear Block D
Paper Snips #103579 $9.95 pg 180
Stampin Trimmer #126889 $29.95 pg 180

Adhesive & Accessories:
SNAIL #104332 $6.95 pg 177
Stampin' Diimensionals #104430 $3.95 for 300 pg 177

How To:
1. Cut your colored cardstock down from 8 1/2" x 11 to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score at 4 1/4".

2. Cut Whisper White cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5".

3. Use another piece of Whisper White cardstock to stamp the quotation bubble and expletive symbols.

4. I recommend stamping the words at the bottom first, I chose to line up all of the "O"s in each word.

5. Get the O and put in the middle of one of the larger clear blocks. Put it in the middle of the block so you can see around where you will be stamping to accurately align the rest of the letters. If you put it on the edge there is distortion looking through the acrylic sides of the block.

6. Ink the O and stamp it for LOST. Remove from the block you are using and put it on the other larger clear block for temporary keeping, this will keep your sheet of stamps clean.

7. Put the L in the middle of the block, ink, line up with the O and stamp. Repeat for S and T.

8. Stamp off the O onto your grid paper until all of the ink is off. Ink with the next color for WITHOUT. Line up the O directly under the O in LOST. Remove the O and put it on the storage block, stamp the rest of WITHOUT.

9. Stamp off the O  onto your grid paper until all of the ink is off. Ink with the next color for YOU. Line up the O directly under the O in WITHOUT. Finish stamping the YOU.

10. Ink up any of the smaller arrow symbols you want to use by the words and stamp.

11. Ink and stamp the expletives symbols in the quotation bubble. Put all used letters and symbols on the storage block so you can clean them all at once.

12. Now for the big arrows, Heather's card used two of each color but I found mine needed one more to fill out the spacing.

13. If  you like, you can paper pierce a border as Heather did around the edge of the Whisper White cardstock. I didn't because my image went closer to the edge than hers.

14. Adhere the main image to the card base with SNAIL.

15. Cut out the quotation bubble and adhere to image with a Stampin' Dimensional.

A big THANK YOU again to Heather for letting me CASE this card!

Do you feel lucky?

Maybe you will after having a refreshing Tic Tac!

These were super easy to whip up once I figured out the measurements. I wanted to make something that you didn't have to take off to get at the mints. So the wraps sit just below the lip of the flip top. Mints can be effective AND pretty now!

They'd be a great way to advertise your business too, just stick an address label with your info on the back!

Stamps:
Lucky Day single stamp from Spring Catalog #129177, pg 24, $6.95 wood only

Paper:
Tea for Two Designer Series Paper from Spring Catalog #129311, pg 3, $10.95 for 12 double sided 12x12" sheets
Very Vanilla Cardstock #101650m pg 156 annual catalog, $8.50 for 40 sheets of 80 lb cardstock

Ink:
Lucky Limeade In Color Classic Stampin' Pad #126984, pg 152 AC, $5.95

Tools:
Stampin' Trimmer #126889 pg 180 annual catalog, $29.95

Adhesive & Accessories:
Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine #125572 pg 172 annual catalog, $9.95 for 10 yards
Brights Designer Series Buttons - Old Olive flower used, #119747, $8.95 for 72
In Color Dahlias - Primrose Petals flower used, #127556, $7.95 for 20
Sticky Strip #110755, $6.96 for 10 yards
Glue Dots #103683, $4.95 for 300 dots

HOW TO:

1. If you want to make the floral wrap, cut a green strip of the diagonal striped DSP in Tea for Two.

2. Cut your Designer Series Paper into a 2 3/4" strip. One strip can make two wraps.
3. Score at 5/8"
4. Score at 2 3/8"
5. Score at 3"
6. Score at 4 3/4"
7. Cut at 5 1/4"
8. Repeat scoring and cutting if making another wrap from the same strip. I used the back of the green pattern to make the floral one.

9. Ink the Lucky Day stamp in Lucky Limeade, stamp onto Very Vanilla Cardstock.

10. Trim the Very Vanilla to 2 5/8" high x 1 5/8" wide. It's close but you'll make it. Measure and mark in pencil first if you are not accustomed to using the Trimmer yet.

11. Tie a piece of Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine twice around the image at the top and tie into a bow.

12. Use Sticky Strip on each side of the Tic Tac container. Peel off the orange liners. I used one strip up the middle of each side.

13. Carefully align your scored DSP just under the lip and press to adhere, wrapping to meet the corners of the container. The container slightly tapers so the bottom of the wrap will be a little looser than the top.

14. Use another sticky strip to secure the flap. If the ends of the flap stick up, use a glue dot at top and bottom.

15. If embellishing with the diagonal green striped paper strip on the flower wrap use Sticky Strip and wrap the paper around the middle of the container, trim to the edge.

16. Use Sticky strip to adhere the Lucky Day image.

17. Adhere the Old Olive flower button with a glue dot OR
put a glue dot on the back of the  In Color Primrose Petal Dahlia and trim two small pieces of Lucky Limeade Bakers Twine and loop onto the glue dot to make leaves.

The choice is clear: Stampin' Up! photopolymer stamps are here!

We've searched long and hard for just the right material to be able to introduce completely clear stamping. And we've found it. We're excited to announce that we now have wood-mount, clear-mount AND photopolymer stamps! The new photopolymer will be an addition to our stamp line and will appeal to all types of stampers. Our top-quality photopolymer has just enough give to create a perfectly stamped image every time and with the introduction of our firm-foam pads, let's just say they're meant for each other! Photopolymer stamps will also be unique, fun designs that will inspire you and provide more versatile options you may not see in our traditional wood- and clear-mount stamp options.

What makes them so great?

• They're entirely transparent for perfect placement every time!
• They are durable. The photopolymer material is designed to last.
• Can you say sticky? (Don't worry; in a good way.) These stamps stick amazingly well to our clear blocks.
• They're age tested. They won't yellow or cloud up over time.
• They use FDA, food-safe material. How far can you stretch your stamping creativity?
• We could go on, but we'll let you try them for yourself.

They are clearly a great choice.

Item	Description	Price
132956	Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp Set Recommend clear blocks A, B, G, F, and I. Purchase separately. Includes 57 pieces. (Don't faint! This is a good overwhelming feeling.)	$13.95

The Fine Print

• Photopolymer stamps will be offered on a trial basis. Based on popularity, we hope to release more photopolymer stamp sets over the coming months. At this time we don't plan on offering a line of photopolymer sets as expansive as our wood-mount and clear-mount lines.
• Available on all order types beginning March 1, 2013.
• Not available in wood-mount or clear-mount.
• All photopolymer will be packaged in cello bag w/insert, but don't forget you can store them in our clear cases.
