A Wish for Everything meets Sailing Home

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world, thanks for dropping by.

I'm back again! there were two birthdays for me today and I felt both cards needed to be shown.

Happy Birthday Nigel!

The second photo is a close up of the card insert.

Measurements are all centimetres.

Card Stock: Night of Navy 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base) 7 x 13 (stitched nested label), 1 x 5 (happy & birthday sentiment), Whisper White 20 x 14 scored at 10 & 15 (insert), 7 x 7 (die cutting), Champagne Foil 4.5 x 4.5 (helm).
DSP: 7 x 13 (stitched nested label).

(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (ef) = embossing folder, (ep) = embossing powder, (ss) = stamp set, when using layered dies (1) is the smallest.

• Using the stitched nested labels dies and the night of navy stitched nested label (cs) die cut a (8).
• Using the stitched nested labels dies and the come sail away (dsp) die cut a (8).
• Now adhere these two labels together using liquid glue, (make sure they both have the right side facing out).
• Using the  night of navy happy & birthday sentiments (cs)  stamp the happy & birthday from the a wish for everything (ss) using versamark and whisper white craft ink and then heat emboss using white (ep). Now trim these two sentiments down to have very narrow borders.
• Using the sailing home (ss) and the whisper white die cutting (cs) stamp the larger boat in night of navy ink leaving room on the (cs) to die cut the stitched label from the all dressed up dies.
• Using stampin' blends colour in the boat in light cherry cobbler, light crumb cake and light balmy blue.
• Die cut stitched label from the all dressed up dies, the boat from the smooth sailing dies and the helm using the champagne foil (cs) and the smooth sailing dies.
• Stamp the stitched label using the water stamp from the lilypad lake (ss) in night of navy.
• With the night of navy card base (cs) die cut an opening in the middle using the (6) die from the stitched nested labels dies.
• Once die cut, emboss the front of the card using the high seas 3D (ef).
•  Now with the whisper white insert (cs) and working on the left panel, stamp the light house in gray granite along with the birds and sentiment in night of navy. (I used a night of navy wash for the sea at the bottom of the lighthouse).
• Attach the helm using dimension pads.
• Adhere the right side of nested stitched label to the 3rd panel of the insert making sure the points of the label are on the folded crease using liquid glue.
• Adhere the boat to the small stitched label using liquid glue.
• Now adhere the label at each side across the front of card using liquid glue.
• On the front of the card adhere 3 (r) white perfect accents down the left side.
• Position the happy & birthday sentiments so they are hidden behind the boat when the card is closed and attach using dimensional pads.

Will be back again soon with more cards. Enjoy the rest of your day!
