Welcoming Woods meets Winter Woods

    Thank you for joining me today!

It's week 14 for Paul, and this is a mixture of old and current products

I'm in a bit of a fog at the moment and have no imagination for creating man cards! So I'm looking on the internet where a little bit of  mixing and matching are coming into play. I'm also trying to use some of my older stash. Just wish I could get a couple of groups together for a cuppa & card hour. I would soon get down some of my stash then!

Materials required for this card are:

Card Stock: basic white, crumb cake

Designer Series Paper: *wood textures

Dies: *in the woods

Ink: crumb cake, soft suede

Punches: lovely labels

Ribbon: braided linen trim

Stamp Sets: welcome woods, *winter woods

 

* = no longer available, and when using layering dies (1) is the smallest

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.
