Usually on CASE-ing Tuesday, I try to do a variation on the card of the day. This week, however, I tried to get it as close to the original as possible! The Rooted in Nature bundle is one of my favorites in the new catalog. And it's HUGE! The 16- stamp set comes in two stamp cases, plus, there are 12 dies! Whether you like evergreen or deciduous trees, there's something here for you.
The Rooted in Nature bundle will be just one of four stamp sets featured at my 16-card extravaganza on June 23. Who knows...this simple watercolor technique might just be included! Register by June 15 to attend in Person or get all 4 kits "To Go" so you can #craftwhenyouwant! Play Along to Win!

 It's a Lovely Lipstick Monday Morning! After several days of heat & high humidity, there is a cool breeze in the air this morning and I'm happy to have the house opened up to get some fresh air. Air conditioning...a necessary evil. Can't live without it, but it just makes the house feels so claustrophobic. Don't tell...but I'm seriously counting down the days until fall! However, summer does bring so many beautiful flowers. My roses are blooming all over and my front and back yards are covered in Lovely Lipstick blooms. Such a pretty and vibrant rosy red! so cheerful, even on the hottest of summer days. Speaking of Varied Vases...Junes's Sweet & Simple Sunday Card Class features the Varied Vases Bundle.

When did words like 'dapper' go out of style? I'm glad to see it used in the Truly Tailored stamp set. And while I didn't use the Tailored Tag Punch from the bundle, I did make a tag! How fun to have a gift tag that matches the card. Pretty spiffy!
I love a bundle with punches! They're so quick and easy to use. No getting out your Big Shot; no time spent searching for framelits. Just stamp, punch, and you're good to go. Bundles with punches often have a lower price point, too, them great for those of us watching our crafting budget.
May's Sweet & Simple Class (May 6th) features the Truly Tailored Bundle. We're going to make 4 masculine cards that are sure to appeal to even the most discerning of gentleman. (Please note: this is on the FIRST Sunday, not second Sunday due to Mother's Day).

Does anyone else struggle with cards for guys? I tell myself to be conservative with embellishments, but oh it's so hard not to add a bow or glimmer dots somewhere. I guess that's why I like the True Gentleman Designer Series Paper. It adds just enough design without needing a whole lot of extra stuff to jazz it up.
Speaking of bow ties...the Lad used to love to wear ties and sweater vests when he was very young. Oh...he'd go to kindergarten and first grade all decked out in a little dragon tie. He was super adorable. 
Look at that toothless-grin and that classy tie!
I did have fun with this week's CASE-ing Challenge. Using designer series paper as your focal point, really makes quick, Sweet & Simple cards, that don't require a lot of extra work. Truly...this came together from start to finish in 10 minutes or less.
Why don't you give this week's challenge a try? Create a card based on this week's sketch and post it on our CASE-ing Challenge Facebook page. I can't wait to see what you create! Today's Tutorial
