CASEing Coast to Coast: Beautiful Boughs

Welcome to our October CASEing Coast to Coast! Last month I CASEd Rosanne’s card. You can see those cards HERE. This month I have created a slimline card (for the very first time) and I think they are really fun! It definitely gives you a bigger “canvas” to work with, so there are more opportunities for new designs and combinations of products. And these cards fit nicely into a regular business envelope, so nothing special needed there! Here’s my card for CASEing Coast to Coast: Beautiful Boughs.

Materials & Measurements:

• Pacific Point Cardstock – 9″x 8″, scored at 4″
• Mint Macaron Cardstock – 8-3/8″x 3-3/8″; 2-1/2″x 2″ for label
• Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper – 8-1/4″x 3-1/4″
• Shaded Spruce Cardstock for boughs – approx. 4″x 5″
• Copper Foil Sheet – 4″x 3″ for label and pinecones
• Whisper White Cardstock – 2″x 2″ for label; 8-1/2″x 3-1/2″ for inside

Directions:

• Glue the Mint Macaron layer to the card base.
• Next, glue the DSP to the Mint layer.
• Now glue the boughs on the sides, leaving some of the branches unglued, in order to tuck the pinecones underneath.
• Add the pinecones and secure with small dots of liquid glue.
• Stamp the White circle label then build the label: Mint on Copper, White on Mint. Add Dimensionals to the back and adhere to the card.
• Stamp the inside layer as desired and glue to the inside of the card.
• Add Champagne Rhinestones to the corners of the Copper label and add a small piece of Copper ribbon, tied in a single knot.

Now, let’s see what Rosanne has created! She is CASEing my card this month, and I’m looking forward to seeing what she made. She’s been making these slimline cards for a while and loves them. So let’s leave the West Coast for a minute and hop over to the East Coast and see Rosanne’s card! Click HERE.
