Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop

Casing Lori!

Welcome to our Saturday Blog Hop at Create With Connie & Mary! Have you been enjoying our team casing (copying)? We have a few more weeks left for this feature and this week we are casing Lori de Groot and this is the card I picked:

I really fell in love with the layout of Lori’s card and ended up using the Kindness Gnomes Bundle paired with the Gingham Cottage Designer Paper and Gingham Embossing Folder:

Notice that I have some color peeking through on the embossed layer? I used white embossing powder to add the color.

I love that our Gingham Cottage Designer Paper comes in so many colors and (48) 12″ x 12″ sheets. Wow! I used the pattern that comes in black and white and then added my pretty layers:
