Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Don't you just love it when I'm being tricky?? LOL Today's subject title is written the way it is for a reason, and I'll show you why in just a bit!!
Oh my how fun it is to be working in a beautiful new space with lots and lots of room!! LOL I'm holding my breath that my new drawers for the cabinets arrive very soon and get installed quickly so I can finish unpacking and organizing. Does anyone else love organizing and re-organizing their "stuff" as much as I do?? LOL
Today we're working a CASE from page 25 of the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. And this is a fun and interesting CASE, because it's a package that I turned into a card. Ready to play ??

"CASE-Out" Design Guide
1. Score the 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Pretty Peacock cardstock at 4-1/4", and gently fold and burnish with your bone folder. Reminder: The "raised bump" of your score line goes to the inside to create that beautiful professional fold.
2. Adhere the Pretty Peacock patterned paper from the Noble Peacock Specialty DSP to the Old Olive cardstock piece.
3. Cut a stitched oval using the Stitched Shapes Dies (largest Oval in the set), from Soft Sea Foam cardstock. Adhere to the front of your layered pieces to the center and slightly to the right.
4. Wrap with a piece of 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon and tie a bow to the right-hand side. Technique Note: Use glue dots to hold your ribbon in place while tying your bow and secure everything once done! It's like having a "third hand." :-)
5. Adhere the finished layers to the front of the Pretty Peacock card base using SNAIL.
6. Using the various "leaf spray" dies from the Detailed Peacock Dies, cut leaf sprays from Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam, Pretty Peacock and the Blueberry Bushel color of the Noble Peacock Foil Sheets.
7. Stamp the "You Are Incredible" sentiment on the Shimmery White cardstock 2-1/2" x 3/4" banner. Stamp the "You Are" in Pretty Peacock ink first; and the "incredible" in Blueberry Bushel second - use the idea of a "rock-n-roll" technique to do this - then stamp on the cardstock. Snip "tails" on each end to create your banner. Pop with dimensionals just at the top edge of the ribbon.
8. Attach your leaf sprays, cut off stems that are too long, and use glue dots to attach underneath your banner to the lower left and the upper right. Vary the colors, styles and layer them to get a nice effect.
9. Finish your piece off with Noble Peacock Rhinestones.
10. Don't forget to layer and decorate the inside (Old Olive mat; Whisper White top layer); and a beautiful envelope to go with!!
And there it is ~ a beautiful richly colored, simple card for you! This suite of products is just too fabulous for words!! Be sure you've got yours on it's way to your crafting room! Have a great day!
Hugs, . . .
