Today I have a couple more cards created by CASEing the catalog. These cards come from page 23 of the January to April Mini Catalog.

Can you spot the card that I CASED? I loved the simple layout and the bright colors. My card uses the large Simple Congrats stamp for the greeting (4 1/4″ x 2″). I really like these large word stamps for quick and easy cards. There are also stamps that say Thank You and Happy Birthday like this one.

The images on the background (Basic White 5 1/4″ x 4 1/4″) are from the Lovely Arrangements stamp set. The border under the greeting was created cutting strips from the large die in the Lovely Arrangements Die set. It took two strips to span the greeting and I was a bit unhappy that I didn’t get them centered.

The flower outlines are stamped with Calypso Coral while the centers are colored in with Timid Tiger using a Small Blending Brush. The little dots are Timid Tiger done with a stamp from the Endless Love set. I really wanted to add splatters but I had the card already put together when I thought of it, so dug out a set with some little spots instead.

This card ended up being more involved than I thought it would be. Yikes! The worst part was trying to decide whether to use a Basic White card base or a Crumb Cake base. I took photos and asked a couple people and neither one could choose either.

Which one do you like better?

I finally ended up with the Basic White base. The cool box outline is from the Addressed to You stamp set and is heat embossed with Copper Embossing Powder.

Next, I positioned all three images (balloons, Happy, and Birthday) on a block and heat embossed those with Black Embossing Powder. Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Blueberry Bushel, and Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend Markers were used to color the balloons. Then the greeting box was fussy cut.

The Crumb Cake layer was stamped with the flowers from Address to You using Crumb Cake ink and the edges were distressed with a distressing tool (open scissors dragged along the edge will work as well).

The beautiful designer paper background is a piece of the Delicate Dreams Designer Series Paper, WOW, this paper is gorgeous! It has bronze foiling that would work well with either Gold or the Copper Embossing Powder used here.

Three images were stamped and embossed on Vellum and three more were done on Basic White. All using the Lovely Arrangements Bundle and Copper Embossing Powder. I love embossing on Vellum!

The white flowers were given a bit of Balmy Blue color with a Blending Brush and everything was arranged under the greeting. A piece of the Garden Green Chevron Ribbon was wrapped around and knotted before adding the greeting layer with dimensionals.

The third flower was added to the bottom corner on the inside of the card.

Did you notice the stamping on the front of the envelope? Pretty cool, right? Lines to keep our writing straight.

Thanks for stopping by The Roost! Hope you have a great day!
