Daisy Lane meets A Wish For Everything

Hello everyone, hope you're day is going well

Happy Birthday Leah!

This card is for one of my granddaughters and the problem is she's not a tomboy but neither is she girly so it's hard to decide what to create for her.

So this is what I came up with!

We went Lichfield Cathedral a couple of weeks ago to see the Space show, which was amazing!!!!  and when we got to the SHOP at the end of the show, as you always do, I just couldn't resist this lovely mason jar with the twinkle twinkle little star on it and lights inside. So hubby was very good to me and bought it for me, isn't he the best!!

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
(cs) = Card Stock, (ss) = Stamp Set, dsp = Designer Series Paper, Ⓡ = Retired, When using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

All measurement are in centimetres

Card Stock: Blueberry Bushel 8.5 x 7 (pocket)
Call Me Clover 4 pieces  21 x 14.8 (card base), 5 x 7 (leaves), 6 x 4 (happy), 3.5 x 1.5 (stitched tag)
Pineapple Punch 5 x 10 (daisy)
Whisper White 1 x 2.5 (birthday)
Dies: Needlepoint Elements, nested labels, Pretty Pines, Word Wishes
DSP: In Colors 18-20 6.8 x 10.5 (1st layer)
Embossing Folders: Layered Leaves, Ⓡ Pretty Pines, Stitched Nested Labels
Punches: Medium Daisy
Ribbon: In Color Grosgrain
Stampin' Pads: Call Me Clover
Accessories: Faceted Gems


Starting with the larger piece of call me clover (cs) score and fold at 10.5, this is the card base.

Emboss, the top front 8.5 centimetres of the card base, using the layering leaves folder.

Using liquid glue adhere the in color (dsp) to the front of card at the bottom.

Add a strip of grosgrain ribbon across the join between the two colours using narrow tear n tape.

It's now time to do the die cutting, you will need to run the pocket through 4 times in all.
For the 1st pass using the stitched nested labels dies and the straight edge die run through along the narrower edge for the top stitching (this does not cut, it only gives the stitching effect).
For the 2nd pass run through with (7) stitched nested label along with the rest of the pieces that need cutting. With the call me clover (cs) pieces, cut the leaves from pretty pines, the happy from word wishes and the stitched tag from the stitched labels dies.

For the embossing on the pocket follow the directions below:
1. big shot platform
2. cutting pad
3. die face up, taped to the back of the pocket
4. thin silicone mat (blue)
5. Impressions pad (white)

Run through twice to create the (+) cross.

With the piece of pineapple punch (cs) stamp the medium daisy twice using pineapple punch ink, then punch them out with the medium daisy punch, and brush lightly with a wink of stella.

Using dimensional pads position the pocket, add the leaves using liquid glue, adhere the two daisies together with liquid glue then adhere to the card using a dimensional pad.

Adhere the happy sentiment using liquid glue.

With the small piece of whisper white (cs) stamp the 'birthday' from the a wish for everything (ss) in call me clover and trim down. Adhere to the stitched tag using liquid glue and add to the card using dimensional pads.

Add the faceted gems.

This looks to be a lot of work but it isn't I assure you!

Will be back again soon with more cards.
