You Make Me Smile

 Good morning friends!




Card size:  5 X 6 7/8”

Make a shaped card using the outside die of the Simply Classic Rectangle Die set (see video).  Next, cut the outside die again from decorative paper.  Cut the large decorative die from white cardstock. Then cut it again from another coordinating decorative paper (you will only use the inside part of this cut.  Glue the white and the decorative inside parts together on the Decorative paper card front. (Optional, repeat this last part for the inside of card).

Cut the plain edge rectangle from decorative paper and from a piece of foam sheet, glue them together.  Cut the small decorative die from white cardstock and foam sheet.  Glue the decorative part down onto rectangle, stamp the inside cut out portion with sentiment using Jade Brilliance then glue the panel onto foam, glue to center of card front.

Stamp several Pink Peony and New Sprout Hollyhock flowers of different sizes from white Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.  Stamp several sets of small leaves with Bamboo Leaves, sponged with New Sprout.

Shape all in the flower shaping mold, dampening slightly.  Squeeze the petals together in a pleating style (except smallest Hollyhock, leave those as they are after shaping mold).  Glue 2 of each size together to form flowers. Pierce centers of squished together flowers then insert stamen, white and yellow.  For smallest flowers, glue Prills to the centers making them look like a different type of flower.

Arrange leaves and flowers onto left side of sentiment, glue with hot glue.  Curl the wires cut off of larger flowers and then insert them into arrangement, add pearls to arrangement.

Glitter flowers using Rajni’s Crystal Clear glitter, randomly glitter card front using Crystal Ultrafine.  Brush 3D Lacquer onto leaves.

Thanks for visiting!
