A Friendly Foliage & Petals of Beauty CASE'd! Card Idea!

Published 10 days ago • 4 min read

Hello Reader,

Add a touch of modern elegance to your next handmade card! This gorgeous design showcases newly released Stampin’ Up! favorites — the Friendly Foliage Stamp Set and Petals of Beauty Dies — paired with a soft neutral palette and bold black accents. It’s clean, simple, and effortlessly chic — a perfect example of how less can truly be more. Follow along with my step-by-step tutorial to recreate it—or switch up the colors and sentiment to make it your own.

I CASE’d a Stampin’ Up! Sample!

Ever heard the term CASE in cardmaking? It stands for Copy And Share Everything — though some like to say Copy And Selectively Edit or Copy And Stamp Everything! It’s all about finding inspiration and making it your own. I love giving a Stampin’ Up! sample a try — and often add my own clean and simple twist!

​

1. measure & cut:

card base:

  • Basic White Thick Cardstock - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4

layers (from bottom to top before die-cutting):

  • Basic White Cardstock - 5 1/4 x 4
  • Whispers of Texture Specialty Paper - 5 1/4 x 1/2 (qty 6)
  • Whispers of Texture Specialty Paper - 2 1/4 x 2 1/4
  • Basic Black Cardstock: 5 x 4
  • Basic White Cardstock (sentiment): 1 3/4 x 1/4

2. stamp:

  • Use a Clear Block or Stamp Positioning Tool to stamp the sentiment (Friendly Foliage Stamp Set) in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

3. crop:

5. assemble & adhere + inky accents:

  • Adhere the Whispers of Texture strips, 3/16" apart to the Basic White Cardstock layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • Use the brush end and cap of a Basic Black and Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker or Stampin' Blends to splatter ink onto the Basic White Layer. Adhere to the card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Use a Blending Brush to add Crumb Cake ink to the die-cut circle.
  • Adhere the Basic Black die-cuts and sentiment as shown with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
  • Adhere the circle die-cut as shown with Stampin' Dimensionals.

6. embellish:

  • Add 3 Crumb Cake Pearls of Beauty as shown.
