Nicole and I are back On the CASE working through current Stampin’ Up! catalogs, breaking down gorgeous samples step-by-step, and providing you with free tutorials so you can CASE your own. This week I am featuring a thinking of you card created with the Falling for Leaves bundle, a fall set from the Holiday Catalog. Enjoy!
Falling for Leaves
Holiday Catalog Page 45
The card I selected to CASE is the Mossy Meadow thinking of you card. I liked the Pumpkin Pie “pop” of color and the gorgeous detailed Mint Macaron leaf. I hope you like this card as much as I do.

“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Mossy Meadow cardstock at 5-1/2″ and crease with a bone folder to form the card base. Ink the leafy image in Mossy Meadow and randomly stamp around the edges as shown.
2. Die cut the edging from Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
3. Adhere the edging to the card base. Add the strip of designer paper, then adhere burlap trim at the interface. (Cut off the top part of the burlap trim as shown.)
4. Stamp the single leaf in Pumpkin Pie twice. Stamp the triple leaves once in Pear Pizzazz. Die cut all the leaves out using the appropriate thinlit.
5. Die cut the elegant leaf out of Mint Macaron.
6. Stamp the sentiment in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla cardstock. (I made a mistake and used Whisper White. Yikes!) Ink the delicate flower image in Pumpkin Pie, and stamp over the sentiment. Do this twice. Die cut the sentiment using the 2-3/8″ (approximate) round Stitched Shapes framelit. Adhere to the card using dimensionals.
7. Adhere the leaves to the card base as shown.
8. Enjoy!
How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
Your arm and Big Shot will get a work out with all the die cutting necessary for this card! There are lots of steps involved, but there isn’t anything which will cause you a problem. Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5, simply because of the time invested and the number of steps involved. However, the smile this card will put on someone’s face will be well worth your time.
