On Your Special Day

 Good morning!

Lots of pink this morning for you!!


The materials for this card can be found here
Card size:  5 X 6 3/4".

Start with a piece of heavy white cardstock 7 X 11, fold in half to make a 5 1/2 X 7 card.  Place the outer die of the Majestic Swirl Frames so that top of die is about 1/4" over the edge of the fold then cut.  Now cut 1 single layer of the outer die from white and glue it to the front of the folded base to make the front of card.

Out of white and from gold cardstock cut the following pieces.  1 decorative Majestic Swirl Frame, 2 Petite Pocket Accents wide and narrow. Cut 1 white sentiment circle and 1 matting gold circle (the size depends on the sentiment, this 1 is white 2”, gold 2 1/4"). 

Glue together white on top of gold the Petite Pocket sets and the Majestic Swirl set.  Glue the narrow Petite Pocket Accents onto the wide Pocket Accents.  Now glue the Majestic Frame onto the card front then glue sides and top of Pocket Accents (leave center open for sentiment).

Use embossing ink and gold powder to emboss the sentiment onto white circle then mat with gold (after heating of course). Now slide the circles under the decorative centers and glue in place.

Stamp using Mulberry, sponge with Magenta Hue and Coral the small Wild Rose (all 3 sizes in the small) then die cut and shape in the mold.  Stamp using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green the leaves from Leafy Accents, die cut and shape in the mold.  Glue 2 blossoms the same size together to make each flower.  Pierce the centers then insert gold Rock Candy Stamen.  Optional, use Nuvo Yellow Daffodil on 3 stamen in each flower.  Arrange flowers and leaves around the right side of card.

Glitter the flowers and brush on a mixture of shimmer additive and lacquer to the leaves.  Make a bow and glue it to the bottom under some blooms.


Now for a round easel and it is so easy to make with the 6 X 6 Round Bi-Fold cards.







Find all materials used HERE
Instructions:

 Card size:  6 X 6”.  Start with the 6 X 6 Rounded Bi-Fold card base.  Score the middle section in half parallel to the other fold lines for a straight easel base then fold downward.  Glue the right circle to the half of middle section that is folded down.  This creates the card base.

Cut 2 outer dies cuts of the Rounded Window Frames die from decorative paper.  Glue 1 to the front and 1 to the inside of card base.  Cut 2 of the next die in the Rounded Window Frames out of white.  Cut 1 of the next side down plus lattice center out of white.  Glue together 1 of each size white, centering, for the inside and then glue to the inside base.  Glue the other white Frame to the front.

Stamp church scene and extra church plus mom and daughter using Black Memento (if using alcohol markers).  Die cut then color.  Glue the scene to the front over white die cut.  Pop up the extra church and pop up the mom and daughter. 

Stamp the sentiment using Vibrant Fuchsia on vellum and trim to about 1/8” top and bottom of words.  Trim 2 pieces of gold about 1/8” wide and glue each to the sentiment panel, top and bottom then fish tail cut the ends.  Glue it at an angle to card front.

Stamp holly leaves using Library Green and sponge with Iced Spruce (this color matches the paper very well).  Stamp the poinsettia (6 small and 3 medium to make 3 flowers) using Vibrant Fuchsia then sponge with Magenta Hue.  Die cut all, then mold the poinsettia and holly leaves in the molds.  Glue 3 of each size poinsettia to form each flower.  Insert yellow pearl stamen.

Cut out a circle tag from decorative paper.  Cut out numbers to make 2021 from gold then glue them to the circle tag.  Tie a small bow from pink silk ribbon and glue it to the tag top.

Find the place you want the card to stay open at for display then glue the flowers, leaves and tag down to keep the card open to that spot. 

Finishing touches: add gold Prills to arrangement, add sparkly green pollen stamen to the arrangement, add 1/8” and 1/16” circles (using hole punches) as ornaments to the tree with the star, glitter pen the star.  Add Dries white and glitter to snow on roofs and trees.  Add lacquer mixed with shimmer to holly leaves and add Rajni’s Crystal Clear to the flowers.  Add more glitter to the card base as desired.

Thank you for visiting!

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep [a]of His hand.
