A Little Lace meets Daisy Lane

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world,

We're now on week 4 of the lock down and here's my card for our lovely Sue!

All measurements are in centimetres.

Card Stock: Pear Pizzazz 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), 18 x 5 (leaves x2), Sahara Sand 10 x 14 (1st layer), Whisper White 9.5 x 4.5 (4 daisies), 1 x 10 (sentiment).

(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder,  (r) = retired,  (ss) = stamp set.

• Emboss the sahara sand 1st layer (cs) using the scripty (ef).
• Cut a 13cm piece of textured weave ribbon and wrap it around the bottom of the 1st layer attaching at the back with glue dots or tape.
• Adhere the 1st layer to the pear pizzazz card base using dimensional pads.
• Stamp 2 daisies from the daisy lane (ss) on the Whisper white daisies (cs) in smoky slate ink.
• Punch out the 2 stamped daisies plus 2 plain ones (4 in all) using the medium daisy punch.
• Coat the stamped daisies with wink of stella.
• Die cut 2 of the leaves from the poppy moments dies using the pear pizzazz leaves (cs).
• Adhere the leaves in only 2 or 3 places to the 1st layer, tucking it slightly behind the ribbon using liquid glue.
•  Adhere each of the stamped daisies to the plain daisies using liquid glue.
• Gently curl the petals and add a dimensional pad to the back of each daisy, and attach to the top of each of the leaves.
• Add a (r) iced rhinestone to the centre of each of the flowers.
• Using a fine tip glue pen adhere a few sequins (mine are (r) silver ones).
• With the whisper white sentiment (cs) stamp the sentiment from the a little lace (ss).
• Die cut the sentiment using the strap die from the all dressed up dies. Once die cut, trim down the right side, cutting at an angle leaving enough room to adhere a basic rhinestone.
• Attach the sentiment to the ribbon using dimensional pads.

Hope you liked today's card!!

Will be back again soon with more cards, until then keep safe and well!

A Little Lace meets Easy Events

Hello and welcome to my craft haven,

Todays card is a quicky, as I needed to make it and give it out today! (well yesterday really).

My eldest Granddaughter got engaged a few weeks ago in Spain, but decided to have party yesterday.

Her engagement card went out a few weeks ago but you can't turn up to a party with nothing in your hand can you?

So here's the one I made to take with us, with just a little something inside. It's new and a blast from the past, but I thought it was quite cute!

The card is quite simple and only 4 pieces, note card, scrap of Whisper White, scrap of Seaside Spray and some flax ribbon.

Colours for this card are cherry cobbler, old olive, seaside spray.

(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.

When using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

Along the bottom in the middle of card front stamp the sentiment from the a little lace (ss) I used cherry cobbler for this.

Emboss the front of the note card using the subtle folder, then emboss again across the middle using the non flowery petal pair folder.

Stamp the image from the easy events (ss) in memento black ink, on white (cs) and colour using seaside spray, old olive and cherry cobbler stampin' blends'. Now die cut using the layering ovals (2), at the same time cut a seaside spray scalloped (2) oval.

Cut a strip of flax ribbon and adhere to the card front.

Adhere the two ovals together and attach to the card front using dimensional pads.

Adhere 3 hearts from the (r) metallic enamel shapes.

This card took me about 15 minutes to make, once I decided what I was going to do, and that took a bit longer.

Will be back again soon with more cards.

New Wonders meets A Little Lace

Hi folks, hope you're having a good day

Hoorah!! it's the 4th September which means the new Autumn Winter Catalogue is going live today, check it out by clicking on the image on the right. It will take you straight to the catalogue in full. If you wish to order anything and you are happy to have me as your demonstrator just email me (details on my contact page) and I will be happy to help you.

I really enjoyed making this card, loved the stamps and the colours.  They are my granddaughters favourite colours so I know she'll just love it.

These are sets I think will always stay in my craftroom, I think they're just gorgeous.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
(cs) = Card Stock, dsp = Designer Series Paper, ® = Retired, (ss) = Stamp Set

All measurements are in Centimetres

Card Stock: Highland Heather 2 pieces 14.8 x 21, 4 x 4
Seaside spray 10 x 14.2
Vellum 10 x 4.5
Whisper White 2 pieces 13.8 x 9.5, 3.5 x 3.5
Embossing Folders: Subtle
Embossing Powder: White
Punches: Medium Daisy, 1⅛ Scallop circle, 1⅜ Scallop circle
Ribbon: ® Organdy Combo
Stamp Sets: A Little Lace, Daisy Lane, New Wonders
Stampin' Blends: Highland Heather, Petal Pink, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Soft Suede, So Saffron

Stampin' Pads: Highland Heather, Seaside Spray

Accessories: Faceted Gems, ® Gingham Gala Sequins, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, VersaMark, Wink of Stella

Start with the larger piece of Highland Heather (cs) measuring 14.8 x 21, score and fold at 10.5, this is now your card base.

Next using the larger piece of  whisper white (cs), (on reflection I think Shimmery White (cs) would have been better) stamp the fairy from the new wonders (ss) towards the top right hand side in memento ink, now stamp the first greeting in highland heather so it's sitting just below the nib of the pen. Stamp the swirly daisy from the a little lace (ss) at the bottom in seaside spray.

Using the stampin' blends colour in the fairy using both the light and dark blends to emphasis the shadow. For the wings use the wink of stella so they will shimmer nicely.

Now layer this piece with the piece of  seaside spray (cs) using liquid glue, and emboss using the subtle folder.

Next using the piece of vellum and the daisy lane (ss) stamp the smaller daisy twice in VersaMark and then heat emboss using white embossing powder.

Punch out both these daisies using the Medium Daisy punch. Then curl the petals of the first one up and the petals on the second one down before adhering them together using liquid glue.

Stamp the second sentiment using the smaller piece of whisper white (cs) in highland heather and punch out using the 1⅛ Scallop circle punch.

Now punch out the second circle using the 1⅜" scallop circle punch and the smaller piece of highland heather (cs). Layer these 2 circles using dimensional pads.

Wrap some ® organdy ribbon around the bottom of the 2nd and 3rd layers, securing at the back with glue dots.  Add dimensional pads to the back and adhere to the card base.

Use liquid glue to secure the daisy in place, and dimensional pads for the scalloped circles. Add one of  the gingham gala sequins to the bottom sentiment and a faceted gem in the middle of the daisy and that's it folks job done!!

Will be back again soon with more cards.
