Good morning!
Card size: 5” X 7”
Start by folding White cardstock measuring 7
1/2" X 11” in half to form a 5 1/2" X 7 1/2" card. Use the outer die of the Simply Classic
Rectangle Frame to die cut card, hanging top of die over top fold by about 1/4"
to retain fold. Cut the full outer die
from white cardstock, pink decorative paper, and plaid decorative paper then
glue the cardstock and pink paper to the front of card, glue the plaid paper
inside, trimming the top to fit (avoid score).
Use the smaller rectangular die (from the same die set) to cut out a
window from card front only.
Die cut gold using the outer die and the large
decorative together to create a gold frame. At the same time you can cut the
inner decorative die from the inside of gold you are cutting. So, you will have 3 dies on the gold at once. Use the inner decorative die again on pink
decorative paper. Glue the smaller decorative
die cuts together off setting slightly.
Glue the gold frame onto card front matching all edges. Die cut plaid decorative paper with the large
decorative die then glue that thin die cut to the front matching inside edges
of the gold frame.
Stamp the Heart Floral Banner using gray
ink, die cut then color. Stamp the
sentiment using Magenta Hue on white then use the inside die of banner to die
cut. Pop it up on the heart shape. Glue
the smaller rectangle die stack and heart to the inside of card in the center.
Stamp the roses using Magenta Hue, sponge then
die cut. Stamp the leafy Accents with
Fern Green, sponge with Leaf Green, die cut.
Shape the leaves and the roses in their molds, misting lightly with water
first. Let dry completely (be patient,
it is important for shaping that they are COMPLETELY dry). Use the shaping tools to further shape rose
petals pushing them down hard in the centers to create a bowl shape. Glue several layers together, (the bottom 2
should always be the same size to start the roses). The small bud inside is made pushing down the
center while petals are stamp side down so that the stamp side shows while
closing tightly. Using a hot glue gun
for putting roses together helps quite a bit but it can be done with good adhesive
like Dries Clear as well.
Cut leaves into groups of 2. Decorate outside of card on bother sides of
the window with roses and leaves. Be
careful to avoid getting glue on the inside, you don’t want to glue your card
shut! Open the card and add a sheer pink
bow to 1 side of the heart (left bottom for this sample).
Psalm 90:12
12 So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.
