I’m sure you’ve heard about “Case-ing” in relationship to stamping: it stands for Copy And Share Everything.  And that’s exactly what I did for today’s card.  Take a look at page 89 of the Annual Catalog.  The only thing that I changed was the Designer Paper.

At first I thought about changing the colors, but then I thought why do that it’s so stinkin’ cute as it is.  There’s only one little trick to making this card and that is the bird cage with the layered frame.  First I stamped the bird cage image in Memento ink on Whisper White card stock.  Then I used the Best Badge Punch on the Pool Party card stock and layered it over the bird cage with dimensionals making sure the image showed perfectly through the punched out hole.  The trick to making sure the stamped image is in the right place it simply to trim off any of the Whisper White card stock that shows from behind the Pool Party piece.
