After being gone on a 3-week vacation to Belgium, I find it hard to get back into stamping. Luckily, there is the Featured Stamper challenge on SCS and it is nice to just be able to CASE a lovely card (Gayatri’s Have a Special Day! card, in this case). I left off some of the embellishments she used, but used a fancy circle die-cut for my focal image.

Fans of Melanie Muenchinger’s work may remember seeing her gorgeous Sweet Strawberries card on StampTV last year (also on May 2nd). I waited a long time to CASE it, but I thought it would be perfect for my mom, who absolutely LOVES strawberries. She’ll probably be eating some today, on her 75th birthday!

Remember this card I made when I was taking the Online Card Class Pattern Play? Well, I decided to make an anniversary card for my sister and BIL with some of the leftovers. After I stamped the sentiment on the white banner, I traced the letters (and the numbers on the tiny heart) with a glitter pen.

Last month I combined an SCS challenge with a StampTV challenge to create this card, and even won a StampTV prize package with it! I CASEd suen’s Birthday in Bloom card, and followed the horizontal Tic Tac Toe line Flower Image(s) – Scor-Pal – Green of Lee’s “Gina’s Favorites” surprise challenge. I rock ‘n’ rolled the flowers and added half pearls to their centers. The sentiment was heat embossed.

My friend Cindy creates the most beautiful cards, which she shares on her fabulous blog Stamps, Paper, and Ink. When I saw her lovely Secret Gard card, I couldn’t resist CASEing it! This is my sister’s 50th birthday card (the English translation for Proficiat is Congratulations).
