Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Please be sure to check the keywords!
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping! But please remember...NEW uploads only!
UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:
1. Keyword: FS525
2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not only link back to your personal blog.

I was inspired by our FS karen's Card Bag and went with a quilted and dry embossed card with a heart/Valentine's Day theme. Used a love sticker from a Graze snacks box. Here's Love is chocolate

Woo hoo, congrats, Karen!!!! God bless you for all of the lovely comments you leave for everyone here at SCS...you are a blessing to all! Had a blast cruising through your gallery today....thanks for the inspiration! Enjoy your special week!!
As it is snowy here, I was inspired to make a snowman card, influenced by our FS Karen's card FS521 Carolyn Inspired. I used SU's flaky friends stamp set, did a bit of coloring, and used my snowflake punch for reverse images. Added some gems, and metallic brads for my embellishments. Here's 4 Snowmen HB

Congrats Karen! Inspired by your card Welcome Back Anne Ryan with its Santa central figure, and circles motif. I used SU's Santa's Helpers for my elf, and lots of circle die cuts for embellishments. Added a mitten circle, and my sentiment circle, and finished with a baker's twine bow duo, attached with a mini clothespin. Here's Elves' Snow Day

A big congratulations to you Karen. The honor is well deserved. I am on my way to your gallery (which I am sure is CROWDED today) and will be picking a card to do you some honor. Later...
Thanks, Karen, for getting me to do some thinking as well! Karen's gallery is chock full of creativity! Here's my card, Christmas Bendi Card - inspired by Karen's Too Much Thinking.
