Good Morning Fellow Stampers ~
Hello! Hello! Well, we took a much needed break around here the past 2 weeks; and I hope you don't mind too much. We've been busy . . . doing other things!! LOL It's been good to step away for a little bit and take a rest.
I hope everyone has been staying busy and creative while we've been "away." And that you're ready to ink up those stamps again with me and have a little fun!
Today, we're going to open up the suitcase and play with a wonderful bundle out of the Annual Catalog. So come along with me! I'm excited to show you a fun, quick, easy card in 3 colorways!!

"CASE-Out" Design Guide
1. Score the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base cardstock of your choice at 4-1/4" and gently burnish with your bone folder. [Reminder: Fold "inward" on your bump - bump goes to the inside - to get that nice clean professional look]. Use your bone folder gently so as not to "crack" your cardstock.
2. Stamp the corresponding ink color (color-on-color) on the sides of your card front with the "speckled raindrop" image from the stamp set. This will show in the background when you lay your Whisper White piece on the card front.
3. Stamp the "flower" in 2 coordinating colors on the front of your 5-1/2" x 3-3/4" Whisper White panel; stamp the "leaves" in Lemon Lime Twist (the top set of leaves is a full inked stamp; then a stamped off stamp).
4. Adhere to the front of your card base with SNAIL.
5. Cut a "lovely word" with the Lovely Words Thinlits Dies from a foil paper of your choice. Then cut that die out with a corresponding framelit - i.e., the Sweet & Sassy Framelits correspond with the heart-shaped "lovely"; the Layering Ovals Framelits correspond with the oval-shaped "friend"; the Layering Circles Framelits correspond with the circle-shaped "hugs". I varied the framelit to get different size outer edges, or, like the oval cutout, a scallop edge.
6. Attach your cut out with Fine-Tip Glue on the front of your card over the stamped images.
7. Add an assortment of White Perfect Accents.
8. Finish off the inside of your card as desired -- and you're done!!
So easy! I love the results of this easy CAS card. I enjoyed mixing up the colors and trying different combinations. And just that quickly I have a set of cards I can give as a gift, or have on hand to send out quick notes to friends!! This set is bundled in the current Annual Catalog. But hurry!!! If it is carried forward to the 2018-2019 Annual, it will no longer be bundled, and you'll lose out on the 10% savings. Even better, order this bundle and your ink or papers, and you can easily qualify for a Sale-A-Bration FREE product. Hurry!! We're down to the final 4 weeks of Sale-A-Bration!!
Until Next Time . . .
