I created this card a few weeks ago for a CASE study challenge. For this one I paired 3/4″ x 3 1/4″ wide strips of different colored blue Bazzill cardstock were adhered to a slightly bigger white base. Clouds were cut out with Flat Bottom Cloud Die-namic dies.
The layer was adhered to the card base, a 3 1/2″ x 11″ piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock, folded in half. The bottom corners were rounded. A sentiment from Simon Says Stamps On Edge stamp set was stamped underneath the colored cardstock layers in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
White cardstock was cut with the Simon Says Stamp die Always and adhered right on the edge of the colored cardstock edge. Black Doodlebug Twine was tied right under that edge and topped with a button. Faux Stitching was added to the colored cardstock with a white gel pen. Three rhinestones from a Sleek Strips Silver Rhinestones finish off the card.
I get to share another card on the Spellbinders Blog today. It showcases the new Shapeabilities® Die D-Lites™ Whimsical Tree. I hope you have time to check out the entire post.

Wednesday’s tutorial on Splitcoaststampers was written by the wonderful Holly McMillen. She showed us how to create a Frosted Window look. For my video sample I chose the Sweet ‘n Sassy Stamp set called Poppies & Greetings. The image was stamped twice in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, once on Neenah Solar White cardstock, once on Vellum paper. Both were colored with Copic Markers( cardstock: Poppies: R08, R27, R39 Leaves: G21, G24, G28 Poppies Center: C7, C10 Sky: B0000, B000 Vellum: R05, G21, C5). The vellum image was adhered over the cardstock with dimensionals.
A 2 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ strip of MME Lost & Found Union Square Patterned Paper were adhered to a 4 1/4″ square of the same paper pack. The layers were stitched to a 3/16″ bigger piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock and a window was cut into the center with a Standard Circle Nestabilities die. The image was adhered behind the window.
A frame was cut with the largest Tear Drop Circle and a Standard Circle Nestabilities die out of black cardstock. The frame was adhered around the window and Baby Bling Rhinestones were added to the frame. Parts of a Finesse Rhinestone Swirl were adhered to the upper right and lower left corner of the layers. A bow was tied out of White Organdy ribbon and adhered to the upper left hand corner.
