Daisy Lane meets Forever Blossoms and more

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

A thank you card for Sue!

Sue is the proprietor of our local Cafe/restaurant, where we go quite often for breakfast or Sunday lunch, she has turned her business into a take away delivery service for the time being in this very uncertain world we're living in. So each Sunday hubby and I sit down to a lovely Sunday Roast without any of the work and stress!

This is my way of sending back the payment and the following week's order. Our thanks also goes out to her lovely daughter Holly, who drops off the food in our porch and picks up the envelope.

All measurements are in inches.
Card Stock: Grapefruit Grove Foil 5 x ½ 2 pieces, Vellum 5 x 2¾ , off cut for flower.
DSP: 5 x 2¾.
Note Card: 5 x 7 scored at 3½.

(cs) = card stock, (sdsp) = specialty designer series paper, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.

• Adhere the (r) grapefruit grove foil strips down each side of the note card using liquid glue.
• Stamp the sentiment from the (r) part of my story (ss) in memento black ink towards the bottom of the larger piece of vellum (cs).
• Now towards the top of the same piece of vellum stamp the Smile sentiment from the Daisy Lane (ss) in memento black ink.
• Using a sponge lightly dab some liquid glue on the back of the vellum and adhere to the flowering foils (sdsp).
• With the off cut of vellum (cs) colour an area large enough for the single flower in the forever blossoms (ss) using a petal pink stampin' blend, now stamp the flower over the top in memento black ink and leave to one side to dry for a few minutes. It's best to lay the colour down first before stamping on vellum, as there can be a little bleeding.
• Wrap a piece of organdy striped ribbon around the vellum just above the bottom sentiment and adhere with tape of glue dots. Cut another piece of the ribbon and tie a faux bow around the first piece towards the right side.
• Die cut the flower using the cherry blossoms dies and adhere to the ribbon on the left side using a glue dot.
• To finish off colour a medium basic rhinestone with the petal pink stampin' blend and attach to the middle of the flower.

Will be back again soon with more cards, and have a great day!

Beautiful Promenade meets Beautiful Layers

Hi folks, and welcome to my haven in a hectic world, hope you're having a great day!

Happy Birthday Aunty Val x

I made a card for her months ago and can't find it now so had to make a new one (maybe the one I thought I'd made was last years).

But I must say though, I enjoyed making this one.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:

All measurements are in centimetres, colours are Old Olive, Petal Pink Whisper White
(cs) = card stock, (ef) = embossing folder, (ep) = embossing powder. (ss) = stamp set

Card Stock: Petal Pink 21 x 14.85 scored at 10.5 (card base), Perennial Essence velum 14.4 x 10.1 (first layer), Whisper White 2 pieces 14.4 x 10.1 (flowers, leaves & sentiment). 9.5 x 9.5 (lattice).

• Starting with the perennial essence velum emboss using the tufted (ef).
• Attach a strip of the organdy striped ribbon across the embossed layer (I used glue dots) and adhere to the card base using liquid glue.
• Using the beautiful promenade (ss) stamp the 3 flowers using petal pink, in full strength for the outline and stamping off once for the centres.
• Next ink up the sentiment from the itty bitty birthdays (ss) using versamark and Petal pink before stamping then heat emboss with the clear (ep).
• Now stamp the leaves in old olive.
• Punch out the sentiment using the classic label punch.
• Die cut the leaves, petals and lattice using the beautiful layers dies.
• Arrange as desired and then using both liquid glue and dimensional pads attach to the card base.
• Add some basic rhinestones.
• For some sparkle I used wink of stella on the flower stamen.

Card completed.

Thank you for joining me today, hope you have a good one!

Will be back again soon with more cards.
