Get Well Wishes

 

Good morning to you!
Happy sunflowers, how else can they be described!
What brings a smile to your face more than bright yellow
and sunflowers!!
Pairing them with these great accessories makes it even better, the bucket in this first one and the rusty pail in the second.

Card size:  4 3/4 X 6 3/4".

Start with 7 X 11 heavy white cardstock, fold to 5 1/2 X 7” then place the outer die of the Decorative Circle Frames so that the top of die overhangs the fold by about 1/4".  Cut the card then cut another full front and glue it to the folded card front.  Cut a gold color decorative paper with the same die, twice (1 for the inside 1 for the front).  Glue both pieces onto card. 

Using the outer die and next die in of the Decorative Circle Frames, cut both at the same time to create Gold Luxe frame for the front (use the inner part some other time).  Also using the decorative part of the Decorative Circle Frames cut an ivory and a dark gold color cardstock.

Using the Eyelet Circle and Basics Small and the Circle Basics Large cut a combination of ivory, Gold Luxe and gold color decorative paper for layers in the frame (end with decorative paper).

Glue the Gold Luxe Frame to the card front and glue the ivory color and dark gold color decorative die cuts together, Under the decorative die cuts use foam to pop-up then attach the decorative cuts to the card front.  Layer the circles together then glue them to the center.

Stamp the wooden pail and extra sunflower images and the sentiment using Black Tuxedo (the sentiment is stamped on decorative paper and other images on white).  Die cut the sentiment with small tag and die cut other images with coordinating dies, color and add foam to the back of pail and extra sunflowers.  Add a bow to the top of the tag.  Adhere these to the left side of layered circles.

Stamp Rustic Sunflowers using Peanut Brittle, sponge with Sunflower, die cut.  Stamp leaves with Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut then shape flowers and leaves in the Shaping Mold.  Stamp ladybug with ladybug Red Memento then use a fine tip black pen to color in the black parts and over the legs.

Glue 3 layers of flowers the same size for each Sunflower then fill the centers with Redland Elements (it smells a bit like coffee which is fun).  Arrange flowers and leaves on the left side of the wooden pail, glitter flowers and card front avoiding Gold Luxe paper and brush the leaves with a mixture of lacquer and shimmer additive, lacquer ladybug as well.




Second card has a partial front with die cut edge shape and hidden 
sentiment circle inside revealed when opening.

Card size: 4 1/2 X 6”.
Start with a white card 6 X8, fold to 4 1/2 X 6. Place the inner circle of the Rounded Window Frame with the grid insert on the top about halfway down vertically and so that the right side reaches to the right side of the card. Make pencil marks at the halfway mark of the circle then place the top cutting plate to the pencil marks, cut (top of card only). Now use a cutter or kraft knife to make straight cuts vertically from the top of circle and again from circle to the bottom of card. Cut a separate vellum circle to cover back.


Cut decorative paper to fit front and inside, glue in place then cut 1 long eyelet tag from Tickets and Tags, trim each long side to about 1/4" wide. Glue 1 to the right side of the inside and the other 1 to the right side of the front. Cut 1 narrow Sweetheart Border then glue it to the left side of front.


Using black Memento ink stamp bucket and floral with 3 sunflowers, die cut then color. Stamp sentiment from Just For You Sentiments using Sunflower Archival, die cut with small Ornamental Tag. Stamp Rustic Sunflowers using Peanut Butter, sponge with Sunflower, die cut then mold using the shaping mold.


Glue 3 of the same size blossoms together for each flower then fill center with Redland Elements. Glue the bucket to the card front at about the center line then glue the Rustic Sunflowers over the image flowers. Add the small tag to the bouquet and glue a ribbon to the top of it.


Stamp the inside sentiment also from Just For You Sentiments on white using Sunflower Archival then die cut with the circle basics large. Glue it directly under the half circle top.


Glitter card and flowers.

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
