Card Stock: very vanilla

Dies: nature's roots, tasteful labels

Embossing Folders: subtle 3D, woodland

Ink: early espresso, garden green

Ribbon: faux suede trim

Stampin' Blends: cajun craze

Hope you liked today's card. If you would like more information on how to make it, please don't hesitate to contact me, I'd love to hear from you.

Gather Together meets Rooted in Nature and more

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Happy Birthday Dave!

This is a bundle I won't be selling any time soon! I might not use it all that often but I'll know it's there when I want it.

All measurements are in centimetres.
(cs) = card stock, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set, (ef) = embossing folder, (ep) = embossing powder

Card Stock, Crumb Cake 14.85 x 21 scored at 10.5 (card base), Velum 15 x 10.5 (leaves etc) Very Vanilla (1st layer)14.4 x 10.1
DSP: Come to Gather 14.4 x 5.1 (layer 2 top)
Foil: (r) Galvanised Metallic 14.4 x 5 (layer 2 bottom).

• Adhere the come to gather (dsp) across the top of 1st layer (cs), using liquid glue.
• Emboss the (r) galvanised metallic foil using the hammered metal (ef) and adhere to the bottom of the 1st layer (cs) using liquid glue.
• Using the large leaf from the gather together (ss) stamp onto the velum using pretty peacock ink, then cover with clear (ep) and heat set.
• Now do the same with the sentiment from the perennial birthday (ss).
• Using the rooted in nature (ss) stamp the rest of the leaves using versamark and heat emboss using a mixture of both copper and sliver (ep).
• Die cut the following:
• Large leaf using the gathered leaves dies
• Sentiment using the ornate frames dies
• The rest of the leaves using the nature's roots dies
• Attach some loosened off copper trim across the join between the (dsp) and the foil using glue dots at the back.
• Attach the 1st layer to the card base using dimensional pads.
• Arrange the leaves as you wish them and adhere using liquid glue (this should not show through the velum).
• Adhere the sentiment again using liquid glue and adhere a leaf by it.
• Make a bow with some of the copper trim and attach where desired.

Thanks for dropping by, and have a great day!

Will be back again soon with more cards.
