This or That? Stampin' Up! Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape Cards

Today's card was inspired by the Natural Botanicals Card on page 114 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. It is one of five layouts that I am featuring on my May 2024 Special Edition Back Pocket Card Layouts. I love to "CASE the Catalog" -- Copy And Selectively Edit -- the ideas shared there. Change the stamp set or designer paper, choose different colors, and make it my own using whatever supplies I have at home. I invite you to do the same! I hope these card ideas inspire you to create your own cards to send to family and friends.

I used some brand new products to make these cards. The gorgeous new Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape has a coordinating stamp set and die -- which also cuts out the washi tape! You can die cut the washi tape as is, but I prefer to put it on Basic White cardstock (you could also use a window sheet or vellum) or provide some stability as accents on the card.

The Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape includes two sets of floral images with different colors. Which color combination do you prefer? Leave a comment and let me know!

Old Olive, Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling 

Summer Splash, Petunia Pop, Darling Duckling

3 "CASE the Catalog" Projects using Stampin' Up! Inked Botanicals Designer Paper

When I first started as a demonstrator 21 years ago, the Annual Catalog was called the "Idea Book & Catalog" and even though the name has changed, it still very much is an idea book. There are hundreds of project samples -- at least one for every stamp set in the catalog -- that are meant to inspire us as stampers! I often turn to Stampin' Up! Catalog for inspiration.

I always talked about CASEing the Catalog. CASE stands for "Copy And Share Everything" -- another way of saying "copy". I prefer the definition "Copy And Selectively Edit". Somtimes when I CASE a project, I copy it exactly. And other times, I make a few changes to make it my own. 

Today, I'm sharing three projects that I CASEd from the 2023-2024 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog and the original inspiration cards. I hope it inspires you to look at the catalog in a new way and be inspired by the projects that Stampin' Up! Concept Artists have created.

Here is the original project. This one is CASEd almost exactly from the Annual Catalog on page 5. The only thing I changed was the sentiment -- using a different punch and adding some ribbon instead of linen thread.

\

When I saw this next card on page 94, I loved the idea of tiling the designer paper punchouts, but chose to simplify by attaching them to a Very Vanilla notecard instead of doing a full size card.

Here is the original card that I was inspired by:

I love the versatily of the Inked Botanicals Designer Paper. It's not just for the Inked & Tiled bundle! For my last card, I paired the versatile plaid pattern with the Bird's Eye View stamp set.

Here is the original project from page 48 created by Stampin' Up! Concept Artists. As you can see, I made a lot of changes! I was worried about punching circles that were perfectly lind up, so I staggered the circles on purpose. 

Tip: Stamp the birds on a different circle and center under the punched circle to better line them up.
