Hugs for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a card for Paper Rose Studio.

I started by cutting a pile of Blooming Blossoms cardstock with the Sentiment Strips dies. I adhered them to a card base using tape runner adhesive in a parquetry pattern. I cut the rambling rose border twice from white cardstock, the Hugs die from white cardstock, and the shadow from vellum. I adhered them to the card with liquid adhesive, and then cut off the excess.

CAS tulips for Paper Rose

 Today, I'm sharing a clean and simple card for Paper Rose.

I created the rainbow using alcohol pearls on yupo. I cut a panel of white cardstock the same size as my card front and die cut the Tulip Border 1 die from the left side of the panel. I stamped the happy birthday sentiment on the right side of the panel before adhering the yupo and the die cut panel to my card base.

CASE of an older card

The other day, Facebook sent me a memory of a card I made back in 2009, so I shared the memory on Facebook. A friend of mine suggested that I make a CASE of this card, so I took up the challenge! 

Here's the card photo that popped up on Facebook (the original card used all products from Stampin' Up, all of which, I believe, are now discontinued.) The word die I used on my CASE is also discontinued.
