Looking for an adorable spring friendship card? One with a watercolored squirrel? I’ll be giving you the step-by-step “how-to’s” in today’s On the CASE!
While I continue to 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!
Spring Friendship Card
Occasions Catalog Page 31
The Fable Friends stamp set is a cutie patootie one for sure! AND it is carrying over to the new catalog! Not only is it tailor-made for babies and Easter, it is a perfect set for making friendship cards like this one. This card is a fun one to color with Stampin’ Blends. If yellow is not your cheerful color of choice, just switch it out for a different color of Gingham Gala paper. I hope you enjoy today’s card.
