CASEd Hills Of Tuscany Snow Globe Card

The retiring lists for the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog & 2023-2024 Annual Catalog are out and that means that its almost time to say good-bye to some of our favorites. The Hills of Tuscany stamp set from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog is one of my retiring favorites. This Distinktive stamp set makes creating a lovely artistic scene easy.

In February the Stampin’ Up! Artisan Mikaela Titheridge created a gorgeous set of cards using this set that I knew that I had to CASE! I included the link the to Mikaela’s cards below. You can also watch my Facebook Live here or on my YouTube channel below.

Start with a Petal Pink cardstock card base. Cut a Crumb Cake cardstock panel and a Vellum cardstock panel. Centering the Vellum cardstock panel on the Crumb Cake cardstock panel die cut a circle from both panels together at the same time with the Stylish Shapes dies. Then dry emboss the die cut Vellum cardstock panel with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder. Use glue to add the embossed Vellum cardstock panel to the Crumb Cake cardstock panel making sure their die cut circle holes line up again.

Die cut a large Basic White cardstock and a Vellum cardstock stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes dies. Stamp the scene on the Basic White cardstock large stitched circle with the Hills Of Tuscany stamp set. (Please refer to my video for specifics, tips, and the using of the small blending brushes to create the landscape scene.) Using the panels as a guide, use a pencil to lightly trace the position of the circle die cut. Glue the created Basic White cardstock landscape scene to the card base. Add glue around the outer rim of the die cut Vellum cardstock stitched circle and then place over the landscape scene. Then use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the panels to the card front lined up so that the landscape scene shows through the die cut circle hole.

Die cut a Pecan Pie cardstock globe base and a Crumb Cake cardstock globe base overlay (with adhesive sheets) with the Hot Air Balloon dies. Remove the adhesive sheet backing to add the overlay to the base and then use glue to add the built base underneath the die cut circle hole on the card front. Die cut three Petal Pink cardstock flowers and three Old Olive cardstock leaves with the Lovely & Sweet dies. Punch Petal Pink cardstock flowers with the Petal Park Builder Punch. Use the bone folder to curl the flower petals and then use glue dots to build the flowers. Add the die cut leaves to the card front at the top right of the die cut circle and on the lower left of the die cut circle overlapping the base using glue dots. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add one larger built flower overlapping the leaves on the lower left with a smaller built flower tucked under it with glue dots, and one smaller built flower overlapping the leaves at the top right. Add Iridescent Rhinestones to the flowers centers for sparkle. Cut a Basic White cardstock strip, stamp the sentiment from the Hills of Tuscany stamp set in Pecan Pie ink, flag one end with paper snips, and then tuck the sentiment banner under the top right flower with a cut to fit Stampin’ Dimensional. Tie a small Linen Thread bow and use a glue dot to add the bow under the lower left flowers.

Add a Basic White cardstock inside panel to write your message. Add a strip of embossed Crumb Cake cardstock to the bottom of the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through. Stamp the sentiment from the Hills of Tuscany stamp set in Pecan Pie ink on the lower right side above the embossed strip.
