“On the CASE” Notes
Your Step-by-Step Guide
1. Score the Powder Pink cardstock at 4-1/4″ to form the card base. Crease with a bone folder.
2. Use the Stitches framelit to create faux stitches at the top and bottom of the card front. Emboss with the “X” die in the position shown.
3. Mat the Designer Series paper onto Basic Black cardstock, leaving a 1/8th border on the right. Adhere to the card base. Add Black 1/2″ Satin Ribbon where the Powder Pink cardstock and Designer Paper meet.
4. Using the Stitched Labels framelits, die cut the following pieces from the cardstock color noted: Ornate frame – Flirty Flamingo; Circle – Coastal Cabana; Label – Bermuda Bay; Heart – 2 Poppy Parade, 1 Coastal Cabana, 1 Flirty Flamingo.
5. Tear out the middle of the ornate frame.
6. Stamp the sentiment in Black onto Shimmery White cardstock. Re-ink and stamp onto Coastal Cabana cardstock. Cut out the Coastal Cabana “fabulous” and adhere onto the white cardstock. Note: To save paper, you can selectively ink just the word if you wish.
7. Stamp the vine image in Bermuda Bay.
8. Adhere to the back of the Flirty Flamingo frame so the sentiment shows through.
9. Adhere the Bermuda Bay label to the back of the ornate frame. Adhere the frame to the card base using dimensionals. Loop Rose Metallic Thread behind the stitched circle, and then adhere to the corner of the frame. Add the hearts. Finally, embellish with Artisan Pearls as shown.
How Hard Was It to Crack This CASE
With all the steps involved, today’s card is not for the faint hearted. However, each step is easy, and the end result is well with the time invested. Difficulty Level: 3 out of 5.

A strip of Country Lane Designer Series Paper is accented with a Basic Black die cut created with a thinlit from the Petals & More collection. Of course, I had to add pearls.
