Do you “borrow” ideas from other card designers? We call that CASEing a card, and it’s a wonderful way to jumpstart your creativity. I CASEd this card idea from one I saw on Jaimie Babarczy’s blog. Hers was a fun fold and I adapted it to make a regular A2 card. I love this angled panel look for the front of the card, so I “borrowed” it to make my own!
I used paper from Perennial Lavender DSP over a Gorgeous Grape base with Basic White between the layers.
My sentiment is from Throughout The Year and I stamped it on Basic White with Gorgeous Grape and cropped it with a Something Fancy Die.
That beautiful Pool Party Crinkle Ribbon is a Sale-A-Bration item that you can earn with a $50 purchase from Stampin’ Up!
Perhaps the star of the show is the butterfly! This is one of five butterfly punch-outs from the Perennial Lavender Suite. They are called Paper Butterfly Accents, #162612, and come 8 sheets to a pack (40 butterflies). They are white and color easily. I colored mine with a Sponge Dauber and Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, and Gorgeous Grape ink pads. Then I put three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems on the body to sparkle it up a bit.

Feel free to CASE anything you see on my blog/Facebook/Instagram/or Pinterest, but if you post it online, remember the stamping courtesy is to always credit the designer from which you CASEd when you do! Lol, chances are he/she got their idea from someone else. It’s what we do! 😉

I love your card Karen! I looked at Jamie’s site, but she doesn’t give the cutting instructions. Would you please share how you cut and scored your cardstock and DSP?
Thanks, Donna! The triangular piece on my card measures 5-1/8″ tall, 2-1/8″ wide at the bottom, and 3/4″ wide at the top. The white piece under it is 1/8″ larger on all four sides. It is glued over the 5-1/4″x 4″ white and 5-1/8″x 3-7/8″ DSP. Hope that helps!
A beautiful card!!! Great idea for the layout. Thank you for sharing your creation!
Thanks, Lynn! I appreciate that!
Oh man! What a card. I didn’t get those butterflies so maybe I need to get them as I so want to CASE your CASE! I am always looking for great cards that will mail easily. I can easily leave the gems off the butterfly if need be. My paper and gems are on the way and looking forward to playing with them.
Chris, I find a sequin is a great alternative when you don’t want any bumps to get in the way of mailing. They give a flat sparkle!
