Nicole and I are back On the CASE. Our mission: To work through current Stampin’ Up! catalogs, breaking down gorgeous samples step-by-step, just for you! CASE means to Copy and Share with Everyone, and that is exactly what we do. We hope you enjoy the cards we CASE and the free tutorials included in our posts. Today’s edition features a CASE of an easy card created with the Friendly Conversation set.
Friendly Conversation
Cute and Easy Card
Annual Catalog Page 117

I can’t help it. I fell in love with today’s card the moment I saw it in the catalog. I loved the colors and the color blocking technique the designer used. And isn’t this the sweetest sentiment? Yep, I’ll admit it. I bought the Friendly Conversation stamp set simply because of this one card. Surely I am not the only person who does this. I hope you enjoy today’s CASE and tutorial of this adorable and easy card.

Your Step-by-Step Guide

3. Ink the sentiment in Night of Navy and stamp onto Whisper White cardstock.
4. Selectively ink the word “laugh”, and stamp onto Lovely Lipstick cardstock. Snip out and adhere to the sentiment with SNAIL. Repeat with the word “cry” (Granny Apple Green cardstock) and “smile” (Highland Heather cardstock).
5. Stamp the “splash” image in Lovely Lipstick and in Highland Heather in the positions shown. Stamp the heart in Granny Apple Green.
6. Adhere the sentiment panel to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add Gray Granite Best Route Washi tape under each side. Embellish with Glitter Enamel Dots.
How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
Today’s project truly is an easy card! No problems here, for sure. It just takes a little more time than one would expect. But it’s such an adorable card, it’s well worth the time. Difficulty Level: 2 out of 5.
