Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Well my goodnes ~ another fast and frenetic week! Busy Busy Busy! Better to be busy than bored, right?? LOL And another round of cold and snow overnight. We had another 3-1/2" on the ground by this morning. Seems like Winter has come late, and is here to stay!!
It's time for this week's CASE-Out. And in keeping with our Peaceful Poppies theme, I'm casing a Stampin' Up! design from the front cover of our gorgeous Stampin' Up! 2020 Spring Mini Catalog. Ready to play??

"CASE-Out" Design Guide
1. Score your 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Sahara Sand 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. Using the "detailed cutout" from the Poppy Moments Dies, randomly make three cut outs across the 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Sahara Sand (or Crumb Cake - I used Crumb Cake for this card) cardstock.
3. Put several drops of Craft Stampin' Refill ink on a clear block; pick up the ink with an AquaPainter and "spritz" across the front of the die cut cardstock piece.
4. Attach to the front of the card base.
5. Cut the largest die from the Stitched Nested Label Dies from Whisper White cardstock. Attach to the center of the front of the card with dimensionals.
6. On a piece of Shimmery White cardstock, stamp the poppy images (2 full size; 1 small), and 5 smaller leaves; and 2 leaf sprays using Staz-On Jet Black ink. Using your AquaPainter, and using Rich Razzleberry, Gorgeous Grape, and Blackberry Bliss classic ink, watercolor your poppies and leaves.
7. Use the leaf die from the Painted Labels Dies to die cut the smaller leaves; fussy cut the leaf sprays; and use the poppy frames to die cut the flowers.
8. Arrange across the front of the Stitched Nested Die using Snail, Dimensonals, and glue dots to arrange and secure in place.
9. On the piece of Basic Black cardstock, stamp the "Congratulations" from the Peaceful Moments stamp set in Versamark, and emboss with White Emboss Powder and your heat tool.
10. From the Peaceful Poppies Elements, grab a "scallop edge" from the black elements; attach to the edge of the Basic Black sentiment; snip to size. Pop with dimensionals on the front of the card.
11. Add back sequins from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins on the card front.
12. Give to your best BFF! 😉
