Petals & More meets Stitched Lace

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

My Niece had her big 40 last week and I forgot to post the blog! Oops....

When I'd completed the card I was quite pleased with it, then realised it was her 40th  this year so had to quickly add the little bit at the bottom. Just glad there was room.

All measurements are in centimetres and nested dies start with (1) being the smallest.
(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (ep) = embossing powder, (nsu) = not stampin' up, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set,

Card Stock: Lovely Lipstick 2 pieces 14.85 x 21 scored at 10.5 (card base),  6 x 6 (scallop circle), Whisper White 3 pieces 10.5 x 14.8 (stitched lace), 6 x 6 (stitched circle), small scrap (today).
DSP: 18-20 In Color Pack 4.1 x 10.
Foil: (r) lovely lipstick 2 x 5

• Using the birthday cheer stamp from the parcels & petals (ss) add first versamark and then lovely lipstick before stamping on the  6 x 6 whisper white (cs) then heat emboss using clear (ep).
• With the Stitched lace dies and the 10.5 x 14.8 whisper white (cs) die cut the front panel (this may need to go through the die cutting machine more than once). Then use the edge piece to cut off the bottom piece.
• Adhere the 18/20 in color (dsp) across the bottom of the card base using liquid glue.
• Dye a piece of white metallic edge ribbon using the dark lovely lipstick blends approximately 21cms is needed
• Cut a piece of the dyed ribbon to about 13cm and adhere to the card base using glue dots at the back of each edge. Then with the rest of the ribbon tie a loose knot at the front right side. (the tighter the knot the fatter the card).
• Die cut the following
• scallop circle 6 x 6 lovely lipstick (cs) layering circles dies scallop (4) 
• birthday sentiment (cs) stitched shapes dies circle (2)
• (nsu) numbers  in (r) lovely lipstick foil 2 x 5 
• Using the well said (ss), stamp the today using the to, and the day from "mothers day", then trim down to make a small tag.
• Adhere the birthday cheer to the scallop circle using liquid glue, then attach to the card base using dimensional pads.
• Adhere the age using liquid glue and the today using dimensional pads.
• Colour a basic rhinestone with the lovely lipstick stampin' blends and adhere to the greeting.

Thanks for popping by and have a great day!

Will be back again soon with more cards.

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.
