Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Trying to get myself back in gear here this week!! 😁😁 Work has been exceptionally busy lately; and with an extra person in the house, it feels like I'm busier than ever!! But we're finding time for creativity; and that is truly important!! I hope you all are too!
We kicked off Fall/Autumn fun last week week; and we continue that theme today! Even though it's 97 degrees outside, and the smell of wildfires are heavy in the air (makes me sad), I'm dreaming of cooler weather and turning leaves.
Today we're CASEing a Stampin' Up! sample (as usual) that you will find when you're in the online store looking at the Autumn Goodness bundle. Yup! Even in the store you will find inspiration!! 😉😉😉
And as usual, we're stepping things up a bit; making the design our own!! The best way to CASE! 😉
Design Colorology . . .
Today I'm providing you the basic colors for the background and "build-up" of the layers on this card. The rest of the coloring in the images are too numerous to list; and should be personal choice. I will provide you below the colors I used for the colored image.

"CASE-Out" Design Guide
1. Score the Very Vanilla card base at 4-1/4"; fold on the score line (bump to the inside), and carefully burnish on the score line with your bone folder. Fold to the top (horizontal orientation).
2. Stamp the Bumblebee 4" x 5-1/4" cardstock using the wheat sheaf and Bumblebee classic ink - use a random pattern round the outside edge of the piece of cardstock (noting the center will be covered over by the Soft Suede cardstock).
3. Wrap the Bumblebee cardstock with a piece of 1/4" Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon; then adhere to the 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" Cinnamon Cider cardstock panel. Then adhere to the front of the card base using Stampin' SEAL.
4. Cut the piece of Soft Suede cardstock using the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle Die (counting from the outside in); then stamp the sentiment using Soft Suede classig ink; and a wheat sheaf using the Bumblebee classic ink.
5. Cut a "fence" using the die from a piece of In Good Taste DSP; attach to the front of the Soft Suede cardstock using Multi-Purpose glue.
6. Pop the Soft Suede panel to the front of the card using dimensionals, straddling the Bumblebee Gingham ribbon.
7. Stamp the pumpkin/barrel/corn stalks image on a scrap piece of Very Vanilla cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Color with coordinating Stampin' Blends (noted above - or of choice); cut using the coordinated die. Using dimensionals, pop the finished cut out to the front of the card.
8. Tie a Bumblebee Gingham bow to the right of the Soft Suede cardstock.
9. Finish off with scattered Sequins for Everything. Optional: Add Wink of Stella to your colored image in just the right places 😉😉
