CASE Study Week 2

Hi guys!  It's week 2 of my month with CASE Study and this week Chupa has chosen one of my favorite cards!  I first blogged about this card in this post...

I took inspiration from the colorful cardstock and the puzzle-like design and created this card...

When this card is closed, it looks like a simple reverse cut design, but it actually opens up like this...

The card was assembled from 5 different pieces cardstock.  The white base measures 5"X5" and the colored pieces measure 5" X 5-1/4".  The extra 1/2" is used as a tab to adhere the flap to the white base.  Starting from the outermost flap, I cut the largest square.  I used that die cut to center the next layer and so on until all 4 layers were cut.   

Here you can see the 4 layers cut out and ready to be attached to the white card base.  Each folded tab is adhered to the white base using narrow scoretape onto the 4 sides of the card base.  

The last step is to stamp the sentiment onto a vellum strip and attach it to the inside of the yellow layer.  This card is so much fun and now I'm thinking what other nesting dies I could try:)

Thanks so much to everyone for playing along!  It's been a blast checking out everyone's cards!  

Mahalo and Aloha,
