It's Just in Case Thursday – the day where Patsy Waggoner (my Border Buddy) and I share a card we've CASED (copy and selectively edit) from one of our current publications. Today's card uses the Free Skate Cling Stamp Set from page 44 of the Holiday Catalogue. My sister Ellie Blake made me this card and I love it!
Sometimes the best way to spark your creativity, especially when you are stuck, is to CASE a card exactly like it is from the catalogue. Ellie used the same colours and stamps as the concept artist and it's stunning in person.
Measurements:
Pretty Peacock – 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; 5 1/4" x 4"
Mint Macaron – 6" x 3 1/2"
Gold Foil Sheet – 4" x 3"
Whisper White – 3" x 2"
Instructions:
- Fold Pretty Peacock (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") cardstock in half to form card front.

- Cut 2 skate blades and 1 bow from the Gold Foil Sheet using the dies.
- Glue one skate to the embossed piece.
- Pop up the second skate to the right of the first with Stampin' Dimensions.
- Stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink on the Whisper White and cut out with the Timeless Label Punch.
