Would you like to make an elegant, yet surprisingly easy, any occasion card? Then welcome to this edition of On the CASE with Ann & Nicole.
While I break down samples from current Stampin’ Up!® catalogs, my On the CASE partner, Nicole, is using her investigative skills to solve CASES throughout the crafting universe. Let the fun begin!
Elegant Any Occasion Card
Very Versailles Stamp Set
Annual Catalog Page 113
Can you believe that all it took was this card, on page 112 of the 2019 – 2020 Annual Catalog, to sell me on the stamp set, Very Versailles? It reminded of earlier Stampin’ Up! sets which had an elegant, vintage feel. I can’t wait to make more of this layout, and switch out the sentiment. Now that I have figured out the measurements, the next one of these will be a breeze. I hope you enjoy today’s On the CASE!

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Crumb Cake cardstock at 5-1/2″. Crease and fold to form the card base.
2. Emboss the front using the Subtle embossing folder.
3. Ink the script image with Crumb Cake ink. Line up the image on the bottom left side of the Very Vanilla cardstock, and stamp. Ink again and stamp, this time stamp on the upper right side of the image.
4. Ink the leaves in Mint Macaron. Stamp the image in the lower right corner (leaves positioned up). Ink again, and stamp in the upper left corner (leaves positioned down). Refer to the picture for placement.
5. Adhere the strip of Mint Macaron cardstock 1-3/8″ from the top of the panel.
6. Ink the script image in Crumb Cake and stamp onto the strip of Crumb Cake cardstock. Snip a “V” in each end. Adhere on top of the Mint Macaron strip.
7. Ink the border image in Crumb Cake and stamp across the upper right top of the Very Vanilla panel. Ink it again, and stamp below the Mint Macaron/Crumb Cake strips of cardstock, once again on the right.
8. Run a piece of Linen Thread above the Mint Macaron/Crumb Cake strips of cardstock. Adhere on the back of the Very Vanilla panel. Adhere the panel to Soft Suede cardstock. Then add this to the card base using dimensionals.
9. Ink the ornate label in Crumb Cake and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Fussy cut out and adhere on top of the Crumb Cake banner as shown. Accent with a Linen Thread bow.
10. Ink the sentiment in Crumb Cake in and stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock. Cut out with the smallest Layering Ovals die. Adhere on top of the ornate label using dimensionals. Accent with two gold metallic pearls.
