I CASE'd a card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop using the BBQ Master stamp set used with the Stylish Shapes and Perennial Postage dies from Stampin' Up!

CASE Card – Stamping With Friends Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are CASEing one of our fellow hoppers. CASEing means either copy and share everything or copy and selectively edit. I have chosen to CASE a card designed by the lovely Helen Jennings – I don’t have the set of dies Helen used so have swapped in BBQ Master stamp set instead.

 

Colours used to make my card are:

 

I created the CASE card using the following supplies:

Blueberry Bushel card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Secret Sea – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White – 5½” by 3⅝”
Basic White – 5½” by 3½” for the inside
Scrap Basic White, Blueberry Bushel and Secret Sea

 

I ran the 5½” by 3⅝” piece of Basic White card through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. The embossed panel was then glued to the Secret Sea layer.

A length of Bordered Open Weave Ribbon was wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape before the panel was adhered to the Blueberry Bushel card front. I opted not to add the Vellum layer.

From scrap Basic White card, I die cut 3 stitched rectangles and from scrap Secret Sea I die cut 3 slightly larger squares using the Perennial Postage dies.

On the white stitched squares I stamped the oven glove, one in Poppy Parade, one in Blueberry Bushel and the last in Gorgeous Grape. The stamped squares were then adhered to the Secret Sea squares before they were all added to the card front using Black Dimensionals.

The sentiments from the Reason To Celebrate stamp set were stamped in Secret Sea ink on scrap Basic White card. I backed the sentiments with scrap Blueberry Bushel card and added them to the card with Liquid Adhesive.
