SSINKspiration CASE the Designer (Cathy Autrey): 25 Again

Good afternoon!  I get creative inspiration from so many different areas, including the amazing designers that share their creations and those that I'm honored to work with on some design teams.  Today the SSINKspiration team designers are taking inspiration from one of our own, Cathy Autrey and CASEing her creations for today's projects.  I was looking through Cathy's blog and found so many lovely cards and decided to case this card she made for the April card sketch, see Cathy's card HERE.  I also decided to use this project to provide another idea using the 25 Again stamp set (it's lots of fun!)

I started with Sahara Sand cardstock for the cardbase and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock as the cardfront.  I used two different patterns of designer series paper from the Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper and used Rich Razzleberry cardstock as mats for the two tall DSP panels.

For the main stamped image I stamped the box and candle images on Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink and colored the sides of the box and candles with a mix of Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers.  For the top of the box I stamped the box image on a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper and then stamped the greeting in the center using Mossy Meadow ink  I used Paper Snips to cut the top piece out and then glued it to the front of the colored piece.

Once this was done I used the Big Shot and Layering Ovals Framelits to cut out the greeting and used dimensionals to attach it to the cardfront.  For a final touch I tied a bow using a piece of Pool Party twine from the Nature's Twine package.

The like all the different color options this DSP provides and the pearlized images are just stunning, perfect for helping celebrate someone's special day!  Don't forget the 25 Again stamp set is my and if you haven't placed your order message me and I can include your items with my order.  If placing your order on your own, don't forget to use Hostess Code:  W4TZWC4X.  This offer is valid through Sunday night, July 8, 2018.
