Black Friday Release

Good morning!
My first card is using the beautiful new Black Friday Release, Simply Classic Oval Frame Die
Find the material list HERE

 Card size:  5 X 6 3/4".

Make a shaped card (See video) by folding a piece of white cardstock to make a 5 1/4” X 7” card.  Place the outer die of the Simply Classic Die over the fold by about 1/4", cut.  Cut another front from White and glue to card front matching bottom and sides.  Place the outer die and the next die in the set onto light pinkish decorative paper and cut.  Use the frame on the outer edge, use the inside to cut a small decorative border for later.  On light blueish color decorative paper, place the large decorative part of the die set and in the center the small decorative border (for later as well).  Make a slightly smaller large oval (with scissors) to line the back of the large decorative die (just the oval part).  Glue the pink lined blue cut out onto card front matching cut lines of the outer die cut border.

From white, cut the plain oval from the set and a foam sheet piece to match then glue them together and glue to center of card front.  Off-set pink and blue small decorative ovals as you glue them around the plain white oval.

Stamp Happy Birthday using Rose Madder on white then die cut with 1 1/4" wide small oval from Eyelet Ovals and Basics.  Cut a piece of foam sheet to match, glue together then glue it to the center of the card front.

Use pearl strips to go around 2 ovals on blue large die cut.

Using Deluxe Flower Shaping Cardstock, stamp Wild Roses Small using Rose Matter, sponge with Pink Peony, die cut then shape in the mold.  Use the Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to form centers.  Glue multiple layers together using 2-3 sizes on each.  Insert 1 blue Bead Stamen and several small white pearl stamen into each flower except bud. For bud use a white or blue bead stamen then shape the center petals around it stamped side out.  Make 2 more layers stamp side up.  Cut wire short, glitter flowers with Crystal Clear.

Stamp leaves using Garden Patina, sponge lightly with Sky Blue, die cut and then shape in the mold.  Add a layer of lacquer to the tops of leaves.

Stamp little birds, die cut then color and round backs a little bit with the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  Add foam dots to the back of each bird.

Arrange flowers and leaves onto both the bottom left and the bottom right of card front, let the leaves or flowers hang over bottom edge just enough for the card to display standing straight up (it makes a balance).  Add the little birds into arrangement then glitter the card front using Ultrafine.

My next card uses another beautiful new Black Friday Release,
Fancy Classic Rectangle Frame Die

Find the material list HERE

Card size:  5 X 6 7/8”.

Make a shaped card (See video) with the outer die of the Fancy Classic Rectangle Frames set by placing the die over-lapping the fold by about 1/8”.  Cut another front from pale pink then glue it to the shaped card matching bottom and sides.  Use the large decorative rectangle die in the set to cut plaid decorative paper and silver Luxe cardstock.  Off-set them slightly and glue to card front.  Cut the next 3 dies in out of silver luxe and decorative paper (the larger is from plaid again, then pale pink cardstock and the blue color decorative paper last).   For the top oval layer, stamp the sentiment using embossing ink then emboss with silver powder on pale pink decorative paper.  Cut the sentiment out using an oval die also cut a silver luxe oval.  Off-set each layer with its silver layer then glue to card front, largest to smallest with sentiment last. Pop up each solid layer using foam sheet or pop-up dots.

Using Deluxe Flower Shaping Cardstock, stamp The Classic Rose and just the butterfly from the Sunflower Banner using Magenta Hue, sponge with Pink Peony and small amount of Garden Patina, die cut and shape roses in the mold.  Stamp Leaves from the Classic Rose using Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut and shape in the mold.  Finish shaping roses using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit.  The center petals are made tightly squeezed together stamp side out by pushing down in the center of non-stamped side.  The rest of the various sized petals are stamp side up when making centers (See video).  Glitter the flowers with Crystal Clear and lacquer the leaves.

Bend the butterfly at the body, glue the body and pop-up the wings on right side of sentiment oval.  Arrange roses and leaves around the left side of card front.

Glitter the card slightly trying not to get glue on any silver cardstock.  Use Stickles in a thin layer on the butterfly wings.

Thanks for visiting today!

And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts...
