Piece of Cake meets Power of Hope

Power of Hope meets Piece of Cake

Hello and welcome to my haven in a hectic world.

Made this card some time ago for my niece, so it's my old style of layout!

 I have to be able to tell hubby I've used every stamp set at least once

Colours: Petal Pink 2 pieces 10 x 14 (1st layer), 9.5 x 7 (scallop oval),Whisper White 3 pieces 21 x 14.5 scored at 10.5 (card base), 9 x 6.5 (stitched oval), 2 x 7 (sentiment).
DSP: Parisian Blossoms 4 x 14 (2nd layer).

All measurements are in centimetres.
(cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper,  (ef ) = embossing folder, (ss) = stamp set, * = retired, when using layering dies (1) is the smallest.

• Emboss the larger piece of  petal pink (cs) using the parisian flourish (ef).
• Now adhere the *parisian blossoms (dsp) down the left hand side of the embossed layer using liquid glue.
• Add some of the petal pink metallic edged ribbon along the join of these two pieces, (I used sellotape at the back to do this), then make a small bow and attach it towards the top using a glue dot.
• This is then adhered to the base card using liquid glue.
• Stamp both the sentiment from the *piece of cake (ss) and the lady from the *power of hope (ss) on their respective pieces of whisper white (cs) using memento black ink.
• Colour the lady using petal pink blends.
• Die cut the sentiment using the ornate frames dies, the lady with the stitched shapes dies oval (4) and the petal pink (cs) with the layering ovals dies scallop (7) .
• Adhere the two ovals together using liquid glue.
• Attach the ovals and the sentiment to the base card using dimensional pads.
• Arrange some champagne rhinestones around the lady to add some dimension.

Will be back again soon with more cards!

Layered With Kindness meets Parisian Beauty

                    Hi folks and welcome to my haven in a hectic world

Happiest of birthday's to Sheilah.

For this card, I picked out the stamp set I wanted to use along with petal pink card stock, then decided to find some designer series paper that would match up.

All measurements are in inches.

Petal Pink 4¾  x 6¾  (1st layer), 2¼  x 2¼  (sentiment), 1 x 3 (flower heads), Shimmery White 10 x 7 scored at 5 (card base) , 2 ¼ x 1⅜  (sentiment).

DSP 2½ x 6¾  (2nd layer).

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

• Lightly mark the 1st layer down the middle using a pencil.
• Now stamp the leaves from the layered with kindness (ss) twice at the bottom of the lefthand side in pool party, 
• Stamp 3 of the larger flower heads and 2 of the buds in petal pink on petal pink (cs). Fussy cut these flowers and put to one side for now.
• Emboss the lefthand side using the subtle (ef). This needs to be carried out using two passes though the big shot. Remove the pencil mark.
• Adhere the parisian blossoms (dsp) down the right hand side using liquid glue.
• Using narrow tear & tape adhere some (r) calypso coral ombre ribbon down the middle of the card along the (dsp) edge.
• Stamp the happy birthday sentiment from the layered with kindness (ss) in petal pink  on petal pink (cs) and then again, pool party on shimmery white (cs).
• Cut out the petal pink happy birthday using the label me lovely punch and the pool party happy birthday using the label me fancy punch.
• Cut a piece of the (r) calypso coral ombre ribbon about 10 inches long.
• Add some tear & tape or snail at the back of the petal pink sentiment and zig zag the ribbon back and fourth across  the adhesive. Then trim the ends.
• Attach the shimmery white sentiment on top of the petal pink sentiment using dimensional pads.
• Add dimensional pads to the back of the petal pink sentiment and attach to the card base.
• Use glue dots to adhere the flower head to the leaves.
• Job done!

I found this a very quick and easy card to make.

Will be back again soon with more cards, thanks for popping by.
