Welcome to our CASEing Coast to Coast post for May! Each month, Rosanne Mulhern from Pennsylvania, and I from California, take turns Copying And Selectively Editing each other’s designs. We started adding a theme this year for a little variety. This month, Rosanne picked Slimline Cards for our theme. Here’s a look at her creation.
Beautiful! You can read more about her card HERE.
And here is my CASE. I chose the Welcoming Window Bundle and the Plentiful Plants Bundle to create my slimline card. The idea came from a brick apartment building I saw. The plants on the window ledges are so… urban horticulturalist!
Card Details
- Base: Cinnamon Cider Cardstock, 9″x 7-1/2″, scored and folded at 3-3/4″
- DSP: Bloom Where You’re Planted, 8-3/4″x 3-1/2″
- Windows: Misty Moonlight Cardstock for shutters, So Saffron for panes, Cinnamon Cider for window ledges, all cut/embossed with Window Flower Box Dies
- Plants stamped and cropped with the Plentiful Plants Bundle
- Sentiments from Pansy Patch and Welcoming Window, stamped with Shaded Spruce
The window ledge and potted plants are all popped up with Foam Adhesive Strips.
I rounded the edges of the sentiment strip which gave it an interesting shape. A tiny Linen Thread bow and some silver sequins give a fun little finish.
This would be a fun card for any plant enthusiast – or apartment dweller!! Want to make one? All of the supplies needed are listed below and linked to my store for an easy purchase. Please include my May Host Code in the order form. You can copy and paste it from here: R2T32STY.

What an inviting brownstone. It threw me back to my city days. I’ll put this set on my list. 🙂
Wonderful cards both yours and Rosanne’s! I get it with the macrame hanger. I made a lot of them. Love the bricks as well. Just so much fun. I need to think more about that set.
I absolutely love this card, Karen! You certainly nailed the “urban” vibe. I wish I had this set to create a card for my city dwelling, plant loving daughter. I may have to consider purchasing it…thanks very much! Another fun CC2C in the books!
Thanks, Rosanne! I love this plant set ~ you should get it! The macrame hanger got to me the minute I saw it. Very 1970’s and now back again! 🙂
