Everyday Greetings – Love You

Sneaking in another CAS (clean and simple) card for you.

Playing with Just Us Girls (#760) where we are challenged to CASE a Design Team Member’s card.  I selected Carol Mayne’s masculine card with sneakers flipping her layout and swapping blue for red.

Additional influences: Inspired By (#321) for the colors, red, white and gray with a Valentine theme; Tic Tac Toe (#263) opting for CAS, Red, and a Love Sentiment and sharing with Addicted to Stamps and More (#485) choosing to use dies.

Here is the result:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The sentiment Window was die-cut with the (1¾” x 1⅛”) Rectangle Stitched die from the Nested Essentials Dies set.
  • The Panel was then dry-embossed with the retired Subtle 3D Embossing Folder for a bit of texture and the corners were punched with the retired Corner Rounder Punch.
• Accent Mat: (3¼” x 2½”) Smoky Slate cardstock die-cut with the (3” x 2⅜”) Rectangle Stitched die, also from the Nested Essentials Dies set.
• Focal Panel: (3” x 2¼”) Basic White cardstock die-cut with the 2⅝” x 1⅞”) Rectangle Stiteched die, again from the Nested Essentials Dies set.
  • The Sneakers image from the retired Epic Celebrations stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Light Real Red and Light Smoky Slate and some shadowing added with the retired Light Soft Sky.
• Sentiment Underlay: Basic White cardstock scrap.
  • The sentiment, Love You, from the Everyday Greetings stamp set was stamped with Real Red ink and added in behind the Background Panel showing through the Window die-cut.

All elements were adhered flush to the left of the card base to resemble the flipped sketch.

Keeping it simple for my All-Star loving Gent!.
