CASEd from Maggie Patterson at The I Love Papercrafts Blog.
I've wanted to try this card ever since I received this swap from Maggie Patterson at Leadership. It's so simple and clean, but so cute! It makes a perfect card for my "Last Thursdays" class!
I used the colors straight from the Sale-A-Bration Sycamore Street Ribbon & Button Pack for this version, beginning with a Tangerine Tango card base. The corners of the card base, as well as two of the corners of the 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White layer are rounded with the Corner Rounder Punch. It's a nice, subtle detail.
I punched Bitty Butterflies out of Tangerine Tango, Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party card stock and adhered them with SNAIL. I added another popped up Pool Party butterfly to the center one and added some Rhinestone Jewels.
I wrapped Pool Party Baker's Twine around the card twice and tied in a knot without the button. I tried to tie the Sycamore Street button directly to the twine, but it was too floppy for my taste. Instead, I just added another small piece of twine to the button and tied it, then adhered the button over the top of the wrapped twine with two Glue Dots.
OK—this one is my favorite! I love the colors and I added some cool patterns and textures when you look closely…
The Rich Razzleberry butterflies are texture embossed with the Square Lattice Impressions Folder. I added a Tiny Tags flourish pattern on the Pool Party butterflies with the same color ink. And, the Melon Mambo ones are stamped in the same color with a pattern from Beyond Plaid, then popped up with Dimensionals.
The little added details of patterns and textures really bring this sweet card to a whole new level! Love it!
The Sassy Salutations stamped sentiment adds a touch of whimsy in Rich Razzleberry.
