"CASE-Out" Design Guide
1. Score your 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Cherry Cobbler cardstock base at 4-1/4"; 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. From the 3-3/4" x 5-1/8" Cherry Cobbler cardstock, die cut using the largest Layering Oval die from the center of the piece. Then run the piece through your Big Shot using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder. Using a sponge, gently sponge the raised areas with Craft White Ink (alternatively, you can ink up the embossing folder first before running it through with the cardstock).
3. On the Sahara Sand cardstock, stamp the "small cursive word group" from the Parisian Beauty stamp set (the 5-sentence message that starts "I love you til my heart could burst"), using Sahara Sand classic ink, randomly across the entire piece of cardstock.
4. On a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, stamp the Eiffel Tower image using Staz-On Jet Black ink. Then cut it out with the coordinating die in the Parisian Dies.
5. Line up the Sahara Sand stamped piece behind the Cherry Cobbler embossed/cutout piece, so you can see the stamped words through the Oval cutout. Line up the Eiffel Tower image so just the tip comes to the top of the oval cutout (see sample); snip off the bottom of the Eiffel Tower image where it is too long for hiding behind the Cherry Cobbler cardstock piece; tuck and attach to the backside in place. Then attach the Sahara Sand cardstock to the Cherry Cobbler embossed/die cut piece with SNAIL.
6. Pop the finished layered Sahara Sand/Cherry Cobbler piece to the front of the card base using dimensionals.
7. On a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, stamp the Apple Blossom spray image from the Forever Blossoms stamp set, using Staz-On Jet Black ink; also stamp 2 of the single flowers, and one of the single leaf. Using a Blender Pen, watercolor the petals with Petal Pink Classic Ink, and the leaves with Old Olive Classic Ink. Die cut the pieces with the coordinating dies in the Cherry Blossoms Dies set.
8. Cut a 2-1/4" x 3/4" piece of Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper; snip a "tail" on one end, and arrange to the lower left of the Oval opening on the card front.
9. Lay out/arrange the Apple Blossom die cut spray across the lower left-hand side of the Oval opening (overlapping the banner) and attach with dimensionals. Arrange the single apple blossoms and leaf, and attach with dimensionals to the upper right-hand side of the Oval opening (opposite the apple blossom spray).
10. Stamp the "Amour" sentiment on a 1-1/2" x 1/2" piece of Basic Black cardstock, using Versamark. Then Heat Emboss using Shimmer White Stampin' Emboss Powder.
11. Attach with a dimensional on the left-hand side and SNAIL on the right where it overlaps the apple blossom spray.
12. Finish with Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
13. Enjoy!!
