Welcome to another CASE-ing Tuesday! If you haven’t been by in awhile, we now have sketches that you can follow! How cool is that? I absolutely love sketches because it takes out half of my work in designing. And for a new stamper, it makes it even easier to create something when you have all the measurements to follow. So if you haven’t seen today’s case over at the CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group, here’s what we’re casing and the sketch:
I followed the measurements for the card base and layers, but changed up the circle to ovals to accommodate the lily. I love the new Sale-a-bration stamp set Lasting Lily! Don’t get me wrong, I really, really love that frog too from the Hoppy Together set, but I needed to create a sympathy card and the lily is the perfect image to use on it. Not to mention, we all tend to struggle with sympathy cards, so if I can help someone create one, all the better!
The lilies in this set are part of our new distinktive style of stamps, they make the image look more 3-D by adding layers with only one stamp. I stamped the lily in Highland Heather and the stem in Pear Pizzazz, then cut it out with one of the larger ovals from the Layering Ovals Framelits set. Then I stamped the sentiment, also in Highland Heather and cut it out with another smaller oval. I used Pear Pizzazz cardstock for the 2 x 4 layer and embossed it with the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. I thought that was perfect for a sympathy card. I adhered that to the piece of Gingham Gala DSP, then both to the card front. I used a piece of the new Whisper White 5/8″ Flax Ribbon and adhered it down with a piece of Tear & Tape which works better then Mini Glue Dots. I added dimensionals to both ovals and and then adhered them to the card front, then added the two little pearls to the sentiment. I really love the softness to this card and hope the recipients feel some comfort too. Here’s a look at the inside:
The inside layers are measured at:
- Whisper White cardstock cut at 3″ x 4″
- Gingham Gala DSP cut at 1/2″ x 4″
Now it’s your turn. Create your take on today’s card and share it with us over at the Facebook Group. You can create the case just as it is or change it up a little or a lot; it’s all up to you! That’s the beauty of casing, there’s no right or wrong way to do it!! Don’t worry if you’re not a member of the group yet, just request to join and we’ll add you to the group.
