Priscilla's Papercrafts: A CASE of a CASE

I've got a "two-for" for you today. Actually it's a "three-for", but I'm focusing on two cards that you can make from one. Have you heard of CASEing? That's when you Copy And Share Everything - and today I am CASEing a CASE!

It all started last May, with a card I saw on Brian King's blog. That's when the Paper Pumpkin featuring the 2022-24 In Colors came out. I had a blast creating with it (you can see my samples here), but I did not use the little extra pieces that could be used to hold a gift card inside the cards. Brian used them to make a very different card front; I loved it, so when I found those little extra pieces when cleaning out a drawer the other day, I decided to make one of my own, CASEing Brian's card:

Is that not cool? I used the Parakeet Party and Starry Sky pockets, mounting them to the opposite color for the front of the card.

And when I cut the (retired) greeting, I did it in both colors and layered them together, creating a shadow effect.

Unfortunately, unless you still have those pocket cards from last May you can't make this card. 😕 So why am I showing it to you then?

Well, because this card gave me an idea of one that you CAN make. So I CASEd a CASE. All the supplies used on the following card(s) are available now! Take a look:

The birthday card above gave me an idea to use opposite colors on this card. So I started with two pieces of cardstock, black and white, measuring 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" each. On the back side I Scotch-taped them together, and layered them on Sweet Sorbet.

I used the Sunflower dies to cut two of the large flowers and two leaves, one each in black and white. Next, keeping the flowers together (one on top of the other, matched up perfectly) I cut them in half. Then I just adhered one of each to the opposite colors on the card base.
