Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are CASEing a demonstrator. Caseing means copy and share or copy and selectively edit a design created by someone else. I have chosen to case a design by Su Mohr changing the dsp and the stamp set.

To recreate the CASE a wreath card, you will need:

Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded lower left corner
