Tulip Fields Catalog Case Window Scene

So glad your taking time to check out my blog today!  In the card making world we sometimes hear the word "case".  What does that mean?  Case or Casing is when you see a card and copy it, most times you will change it up a little as in changing colors used, stamp sets used, die cuts used or using different Designer Series Paper.  When I case a card I always try to acknowledge the person that I got the idea from.  Just a good practice.  So with that said, for this card I actually cased the card in the Stampin Up® mini catalog.  So many of us keep our old catalogs because it give us a good base line for layout for cards.  

I had a team challenge to case a card from the catalog and this was my card.  It was a fun team challenge and great to see how each of us took the original layout and changed it up to fit either what we had in stock or simply just changing up colors!  This card was on the cover of the Jan-June 2022 Mini Catalog and I changed up the Designer Series Paper, colors, and the scene itself.

Here are the card cuts, instructions and supply list:

3.  Using the Windmill Fields Dies cut the following:

A.  Apply Adhesive sheets to the back of the 1/2 x 5 1/2 Blackberry bliss piece then cut out several fence pieces.

4.  Using the #5 Stitched Rectangle dies (or 4th from the largest) cut out a window from the 4 x 5 1/4 DSP piece.  NOTE: You want to place the die about 1/2" from top edge and 3/4" from right edge.  

Assemble:

5.   Adhere the 1 3/4 x 5 1/4 (Tulips) DSP to the bottom edge of the DSP sheet that has the look of sky.

6.  Remove the adhesive strip from the back of the bicycle then adhere the Die cut Bicycle flush to the top edge of the Tulip DSP about 7/8" from left side.

Die Cutting: (Note: I number my Stitched Rectangle dies to make it easier to remember which ones I use - There are two sets of dies on the largest set I start with the smallest one and number it #1 working my way up to the largest which would be #8.  On the other set I do the same smallest being #1 and the largest being #4.) So in these instructions I will be using those numbers!

4.  Using the #6 from the larger set and the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White piece you just stamped with flowers and leaves center over the flowers and leaves and cut out.

5.  From that piece using the #4 die center again and cut out a piece from the last one. 

6.  Next using piece from step 5 cut out one more rectangle stitched die using the #2

7.  Using the #2 die from the smaller set cut out the Evening Evergreen sentiment label from step 3.

Assemble:

Gather all the Evening Evergreen mattes and the all the pieces of the 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White piece that you cut with the Rectangle stitched dies.

8.  Layer the following:

A.  3 1/4 x 4 1/4 Evening Evergreen piece onto the large Basic White frame about a 1/2" from left edge.

B.  Next Layer the largest Basic White piece with stamped flower and leaves onto last piece centering

C.  Next Layer the 2 3/8 x 3 3/4 Evening Evergreen onto the piece from Step B also centering.

D.  Next Layer the next size down Basic White piece onto piece from Step C, centering.

F.  Next Layer the last Basic White piece onto piece from Step E.

G.  Last layer the Evening Evergreen sentiment strip across the other layers as shown.

F.  Wrap ribbon around left edge and add a bow.
