July Is CASE The Catalog Month!
Good Morning and Happy Thursday! We have a new challenge this week at Create With Connie & Mary. We have a few more weeks remaining to “Case The Catalog”. I used the layout of the card we are casing and this is what I ended up with:
I was so excited that the Nested Friends stamp set and dies didn’t retire. I didn’t get to use them much when they first debuted so I was glad I could use for today’s card. I also added a pretty doily using the Delightful Doily Hybrid Embossing Folder. You can emboss and cut in one step and the doily is beautiful:
I colored my images with Stampin’ Blends Markers and added a cute sentiment cut with the Radiating Stitches Dies. Here are the details:
