Hello crafty friends!
Today I have 2 very different cards but both are holiday wishes cards.
I have told you how much I like plaid, right?
Welcome to the November Release Hop!
Good morning!
My mother and mother-in-law are both gone now but I still love the thought of giving a beautiful Mother's Day card. If your mother or mother-in-law are still with you, be thankful, when they are gone there are a million reasons why you wish they were here even if it is to ask a simple question about a recipe! Just hug them and tell them you love them... take time to listen to them talk about their life or the good old days and store that information up, someday you may wish you knew more!
Card size: 5 X 7”
Die Cut the card base using Fancy Classic
Oval Frame outer die (See video). Die cut another front from white cardstock
(because when making shaped cards you cannot make full shape in order to keep
the fold). Cut another front from decorative paper. Cut the next size in with
another decorative paper that coordinates. Cut the inner oval from first color
decorative paper also cut a piece of foam sheet to fit oval. Glue the first 2
layers onto card.
From Silver cut all the decorative dies in
the Fancy Classic Oval Frames set. Glue the thin silver frame where the
lavender meets the aqua, glue the next silver die cut centered on front. The
oval decorative die goes on the lavender oval, also glue the foam sheet to fit
under the paper, now glue the oval stack onto center on card.
Stamp the sentiment using Majestic Violet
on white, die cut with a small oval then sponge the edges with LuLu Lavender
(or other light lavender). Cut a mat from silver 1/8” larger using large oval set
then cut a foam sheet to fit. Glue oval sentiment stack together then glue to
the center of card.
Stamp smaller Sweet Pea using Majestic
Violet, sponge with violet and Magenta Hue. Stamp leaves, sepals and vine using
Fern Green, sponge with flower colors and Leaf Green. Shape in the Flower Mold
(See video). Shape vines with groove tools or Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit from
the back, curl the spindly vines around a stylist or Groove Tool. Flowers are 2-part,
glue the 2 parts together in the center and fold upward with fingers, add a dot
of Nuvo Crushed Grape to the center of each. Glue the sepals to the bottoms.
Make buds using 1 part of flower by rolling petals then gluing sepal onto
bottom. Make several spindly vines using green wire wrapped around a stylist or
Groove Tool.
Use hot glue to glue arrangement onto card
front around sentiment. Add wire vines as desired to finish arrangement.
Glitter all the flowers and buds. Mix shimmer and lacquer together then paint
onto leaves with an old flat paintbrush. Stipple glue onto card front then add
glitter (Try to avoid silver). Your card is finished.
Thanks for visiting today!
