Steppin' it Up

 Good Morning, Stampers!

 Keep your card simple with the Beginner design, or “step it up” by making the Casual or Avid cards! This week, our Beginner card was CASEd from a project Sara shared on her Tuesday Facebook Live broadcast on March 7th.

BEGINNER
We started this card by stamping out the smaller leaf image in Garden Green ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then we stamped and punched out the larger leaf images. With a few stamped stems and a sentiment, this card’s ready to go!

CASUAL
To step up our card, we used Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper as our card base and added more depth to our leaves with the vein images stamped in Shaded Spruce. We also added a few Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins to keep the natural tones from the card base as well as the leaves and stems.

AVID
For our final card, we added more texture by using the Gorgeously Made Dies to create the notepad edge panel using Basic White Cardstock. We also fussy cut the small leaf so it could be popped up on a dimensional. Next, we used a Sponge Dauber to add Pretty Peacock ink to the leaves, then we used the Heat Tool to emboss veins on the leaves with gold. We added the Crumb Cake twine as a finishing touch.

We loved how these cards turned out, and we loved CASEing them from Sara’s project! Tune in every Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. (MST) to watch Sara craft during her weekly Facebook Live broadcasts!

Happie Stampin'!
