Grateful for You

 Good morning crafty friends!

Isn't it fun to combine new designs with the old ones?  How about this rusty old pail with some beautiful Irises in it? I love it, hope you do too.

This card is a window card actually, the sentiment is inside.

It makes me happy to see a bright sunny yellow card,

What do you think?

Material List

Card size:  4 3/4 X 6 3/4"

Make a shaped card with the outer die of Decorative Circle Frames from white cardstock (see video). Using the largest circle die, cut out center of card, front only.  Cut out yellow decorative paper with the same Decorative Circle die, use a slightly smaller circle to cut away center then glue to card front.

Cut out largest Decorative Circle Frame “decorative” die from white, cut out center with the largest circle die then glue or pop up on card front. 

Using the eyelet circles in the large circle die set and the eyelet circles in the Decorative Circle Frames die set, cut alternating eyelet layers from white and yellow ending with white.

Stamp sentiment using Cactus Flower on the last white eyelet circle, glue stack of eyelet circles together.  Cut another yellow decorative paper layer for the inside of card using the outer die of Decorative Circle Frames, glue it to the inside of card (you will have to trim a little off the top to avoid the score/fold of card) then glue the stack of eyelet circles centering to inside so that it shows as center when card is closed.

Stamp the Bucket using black, die cut then color and set aside.  Stamp Irises using London Fog on some and Cactus Flower on some to create 3 flowers (3 1/2 flowers per flower used here), sponge with like colors, die cut.  Stamp leaves using Fern Green then sponge with Leaf Green, die cut. Shape flowers and leaves in the shaping mold (see video).  Finish shaping using the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit. (Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper used for flowers and leaves).

Make a slit at top of bucket rim, using hot glue, glue 2 flowers and 3-4 leaves to look like they are inside the bucket.  Pop up onto right bottom of card front, bend stems to go around circle opening.

Glue last flower to stem piece then glue leaf on top of stem and insert under bucket bottom then glue down to card bottom using hot glue, (Hot glue is best to make sure these 3D flowers stay glued to the card where you want them.

Glitter the flowers around all edges, glue the Flower Soft to Iris beards and then glaze leaves with lacquer.  Randomly glitter card base.

Thanks for visiting today!

Cut a piece of white cardstock 8 1/2 X 10 1/2" then score at 3 1/2" and again at 7”.

Cut decorative paper to match each panel of card, then glue to card except front piece, set aside until after the next step.

Use the lattice Curvy Accent die to cut the right (short) side. Cut the lattice Curvy Accent from silver as well then glue the silver behind the white lattice.  Take the decorative paper for the front and using the plain edge Curvy Accent die, cut to match curved white edge of card in front of lattice cut, (see sample).

Cut the Slim Lattice and decorative piece from Classic Floral Vase from white and from silver, then glue each piece to its mate slightly off-set.  Glue Slim Lattice to the inside and the decorative piece from vase set in front.

Romans 5:6-8 (English Standard Version)

 

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Your Birthday!

We just experienced Palm Sunday, next week is Easter already.

He is Risen, He is risen indeed!

Matthew 20: 17-19 (English Standard Version)

 

And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples aside, and on the way he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem. And the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn him to death and deliver him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified, and he will be raised on the third day.”
