Hello Fellow Stampers ~
I am so excited to have my laptop back up and working properly! Reminder: Spilling coffee on the keyboard of your computer - NOT GOOD!!! LOL 🤣🤣
Also, NOT CHEAP!!
I promised during my Class With Wendy - Facebook Live event on Tuesday morning that I would be back with the Botanical Prints Product Medley and featuring a card design this time. And today, we are going to CASE my fabulous upline, Ann Schach!! So let's head off and play!! 😉😉 [Oh -- and this post was supposed to be up last week!! Yikes! Things got away on me; so sorry!!]

AND
Stamps, and Ink, and Paper . . . Oh, My!
Stamps: Botanical Prints Product Medley [Item #151301]
Paper: Pretty Peacock (card base - 4-1/4" x 11"); Mossy Meadow (card base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"); Copper Foil (5-1/8" x 4"; scrap for banner) ; Rose Gold Foil (from Everything Is Rosy Product Medley) (4-1/8" x 5-3/8"; scrap for banner); Shimmery White (4-15/16" x 3-5/8"); Blackberry Bliss (5-1/8" x 3-7/8"; 3-1/4" X 2-1/8"); Whisper White (scrap for Stitched/Scalloped rectangles)
Inks: Pretty Peacock [Item #150083]; Blackberry Bliss [Item #147092]; Gray Granite [Item #147118]
Other: Stitched So Sweetly Dies [Item 151690]; Banner Triple Punch [Item #138292]; Butterfly Beauty Dies [Item #148536]; 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon [Item #149496]; Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon [Item #151326]
Each of these cards uses a similar design (CASE'd from Ann's card on April 26th) for each layout; slightly different from each other in subtle ways. Instead of a step-by-step tutorial like I usually do for CASE-Out posts, I'm just going to walk through each card briefly!
This card utilizes the pretty laser-cut outs in the product medley; coordinated against the Pretty Peacock card base; with the pop of Copper Foil to set things off. Here I cut a piece of Shimmery White cardstock to go under the laser cut out piece; color-washing it first using my AquaPainter and Pretty Peacock ink, to give a pretty effect to show through in the background.
I wrapped the layers with the Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon before attaching it to the card base.
The rest of the piece is easy; cutting the rectangle using the Stitched to Sweetly Dies; stamping the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink; adding a little banner (approximately 2-3/8" x 1" finished size); and then the ready-made punch out from the medley. I used wink of stella on the fruit; and added the bumble bee (also from the product medley to finish it off.
This one is on the horizontal (8-1/2" x 11", scored at 4-1\4", fold to the top).
This time I used the flip side (back side) of the laser cut out piece and framed it/backed it with Blackberry Bliss; a nice contrast to the Mossy Meadow cardbase; popped with the Rose Gold Foil you'll find in the Everything Is Rosy Product Medley (still available on the Clearance Rack, Item #150059).
The ribbon here is the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon that I stamped over and over using the bokeh spots in the Beauty Abounds stamp set, and Blackberry Bliss ink. The mottled look is gorgeous!! A double ribbon is a must with Crinkled Seam Binding!!
Finished off with some pretty little butterflies along with the copper bumble bee. So pretty!!
Finishing your insides is a must!
I stamped each image in Gray Granite; then used Soft Sea Foam and Daffodil Delight Stampin' blends to do the coloring.
I hope you enjoyed today's projects. I apologize I've been offline so much lately! I am trying to get back to my creative spot!!
I Love to hear from you. Leave your questions or comments below!!
Hugs, . . .
