Christmas gleaming meets A Wish For Everything

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world

This was my Dad's card for last year and it was still in my draft folder which means it wasn't posted last year! This year's will come soon

This is a card I 'CASd' from Jill Chapman @ paper daisy crafting. Most of the products are retired now, but I liked the style for my Dad.

Materials required for this card are:

Card stock: mossy meadow and very vanilla

DSP:(r) brightly gleaming

Dies: stitched nested labels (5 & 6),playful alphabet

Embossing Powder: copper

Ink: mossy meadow & versamark

Ribbon: (r) *seam binding

Stampin' blends: mossy meadow

Stamp sets: christmas gleaming, (r) *merry christmas to all, a wish for everything

Accessories: basic rhinestones

(r) = retired, and when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

The larger nested label was die cut a second time on one side to make it narrower.

If you wish to buy any of the items used, go to contacting me at the top of the page for details on how to order.

Hope you liked today's card, if you need more information please don't hesitate to contact me.

Colorful Seasons meets Parcels & Petals

Hello and welcome, hope you're having a great day!

This is the second post for today.

Happy Birthday Mick!

Apart from my family, Mick is the person I've known the longest, he was my best friend's husband, and the girl who got me hooked on card making just before she died, some too many moons ago.

Measurements are in centimetres, (cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

Card base is 21 x 14.85 scored at 10.5, (r) Wood textures (dsp) 4 x 14.85 and scraps of all the colours below.

Colours are: cajun craze, crumb cake, crushed curry, early espresso, old olive, merry merlot, very vanilla

• Using the parcels & petals (ss) stamp the sentiment in cajun craze, then using the colorful seasons (ss) stamp the leaves in the various colours and sizes.
• With the basic pattern decorative masks, sponge the trees across the front of the card base using crumb cake ink. Then spritz lightly using an early espresso marker.
• Now with the stitched nested labels (2 & 3), and the seasonal layers dies, die cut all the leaves and labels.
• Attach the (dsp) to the card base using dimensional pads.
• Arrange and glue down the leaves using liquid glue.
• Arrange some (r) copper metallic thread across the front of the old olive label, then adhere the  sentiment label on top using liquid glue. Once done adhere to the (dsp) using liquid glue.
• Add some random candy dots.

Will be back again soon with more cards.
