Fairy Light Cottages

Good morning!

Isn't this the cutest little fairy village?

Material list HERE

Card size:  5 X 6 7/8”.

Make a shaped card (see video) using the Fancy Classic Rectangle outer die placing the die over-hanging the fold at the fop.  Using the same die, cut another piece from white heavy cardstock and 1 from decorative lavender paper. 

Cut the next die in (decorative) and plain die (3^rd die) from gold then from aqua decorative paper.  Insert the aqua inside gold frame (save gold inside and aqua frame for another card).  Cut a foam sheet piece to fit under the framed set.  Glue them together then glue the foam to the card front, centering.

Stamp 3 mini–Mushroom Cottages 2 times each (second set is for cutting out windows).  Stamp fairy, small mushrooms X 2, morning glories x4 and large Ivy leaves using black Memento, die cut and color. Use Wink of Stella on windows and lantern.  Pop up the windows and doors on all the cottages. From the back side, slightly shape: lantern, fairy wings, leaves and small mushrooms.  Add foam dots under the shaped areas to help them keep their shapes.

Pop up cottages onto card front adding small mushrooms in between (trim or clip apart as needed to fit, save extra pieces for hanging from the vines). Glue the fairy body to the card front above cottages The wings and lantern are popped. Glue the Ivy and Morning Glories to the left and right sides coming from the top of Fancy Classic die cut. Add in upside down mushrooms as desired.

Stamp Hyacinth petals using Deep Purple from Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper, sponge with Majestic Violet, die cut then shape in the mold.  Use Deluxe Flower Shaping kit to deepen center “wells” use round needle nose type plyers (used for jewelry making mostly) or a Groove Golf tool to curl each petal end downward. Glue some lavender Prills to the centers then use hot glue to add flowers to the card at the top right and left.

Use Stickles, Wink of Stella and Ultrafine Glitter to flowers, wings, and card front.

Thanks for visiting today!
