If you are familiar with the term “scraplifting”, then this won’t be a hard one to grasp. To say you “scraplifted a card” doesn’t sound quite right, so there is another term used instead. It’s called “CASE-ing”, CASE stands for “copy and share everything”. I guess “cardlifting” sounds kinda funny. When you see an idea or layout, technique, color scheme you really like, and copy it and make it your own, this is referred to as “case-ing” or “scrap-lifting”. If I create something that I make publicly available, by doing this I know that it will be shared and re-distributed. So I just know that all of my “creations” will be shared. If I post something it now belongs to the community of lookers and crafters who use it. So if you see something of mine you like, please by all means use it. It would be really cool if you would post a comment and tell me what you did with it and if you changed it and made the design even better. I’m of the attitude that in the community of scrapbookers, stampers and card-makers alike, we are constantly inventing and reinventing new techniques, and designs. It’s a wonderful thing that we can all learn from each other and share ideas. Here is an example of case-ing. 
“CASE”d from the Close To My Heart website that really caught my eye:
And here is the card I made after having been inspired:
