Welcome to another CASE-ing Tuesday! I hope your week is going well. We have had our first rain in months, so it’s been a great start to mine! If this is your first time in my neck of the woods, welcome and be sure to join my email list to keep up on all the scrappy news around here! Have you been over to the CASE-ing Tuesday Facebook Group yet this morning to see what we are casing (copy and share everything)? If not, here’s a look at this week’s sample and sketch:
Isn’t that a cute card? And I love that we have sketches to help create our projects. We are now casing projects out of the July-December Mini Catalog, but I chose to go with a set out of the Annual Catalog that I haven’t played with yet. The Cottage Rose stamp set.
I followed all of the measurements from the sketch, except for the sentiment tag. Mine measures 1 3/8″ x 2 1/2″. I thought it fit the sentiment better. And the best part of my card? It was made from all scraps except for the DSP. I started with an Early Espresso card base and added my piece of DSP from the Abigail Rose DSP pack. Next I took a scrap of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the image in Early Espresso ink and colored it with Petal Pink and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I then fussy cut the image with my snips, completely forgetting that I had the coordinating dies. Oops! lol I then added some Wink of Stella to the flower and to the baby’s breath and set it aside. I trimmed a scrap of Sahara Sand cardstock to the original measurements and stamped the sentiment from the set in Early Espresso ink. That was when I realized the piece was too large, so I trimmed it down. I added it to he card front with dimensionals and then added my flower next to it, tucking in the corner of the sentiment tag under my flower. I sprinkled on some of the vanilla Classic Matte Dots and a baker’s twine bow in Very Vanilla for the final touch.
For the inside, I found a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Very Vanilla in my scraps. I stamped both the sentiment and flower in Early Espresso ink, stamping off the flower first.
And don’t forget to decorate your envelope! I used some of that gorgeous DSP for the flap.
