Good morning everyone
In today's post I am sharing with you two of cards I made using DCWV Scripts and Music Notes 12" x 12" paper pad.
I bought this paper pad on clearance for $15, (full price $29.99) it has 36 sheets of single sided patterned cardstock which is very thick and beautiful to work with and 6 sheets of foiled vellum. What a bargain........
You can watch these cards being created on my YouTube channel here. I hand made the flowers using stamps, heat embossing and dies. This process is also in the video.
These are the cards. They are 5.25" square, cut from white cardstock. Each of them has a lightly patterned paper on the inside of the card.
Let's start with the card below.
I chose 2 patterned papers and one of the vellums. The black paper was cut to 5" square, the apricot is 4.75" square and the vellum is 4.5" square. The two papers were layered on to the card base using double sided tape. The vellum was not attached yet because I needed to know where the embellishments were going so I could use glue behind the embellishments to attach the vellum without being able to see the glue.
I used another patterned paper and a die to cut the 10 layers for the larger flower and 7 layers for the smaller flower. I inked the edges of all of the petals and then rolled them around my hole piercer to give then some dimension. You can see this in the video here. A pink crystal was added to the centre of each flower to add some bling.
I used a piece of Finnabair lace which I have attached with glue approx 2" up from the bottom of the card, I also applied a line of glue on the other side of the vellum behind the lace to attach the vellum to the card base.
I gathered up the grey paper flower, white leaves and pink rosebuds from my stash and arranged them on the card front. When I was happy with the composition, I attached them with liquid glue and hot glue.
The greeting is a sticker from a pack my Mum gave me, I have attached it to a piece of white cardstock, trimmed it to size and attached it to the card with foam tape.
Note: I have added glue behind all of the embellishments between the patterned paper and the vellum to keep the vellum in place.
Card No. 2
The flower on this card was made using a stamp from Embossing Arts Co. It is called 192-GB Giant Flowers and has 4 different flowers on the one large block. I have had this stamp for at least 15years so it is probably not available any more but I use it a lot and it is one of my favourites.
I stamped the flower four times onto patterned paper, with Versamark Clear ink and then heat embossed it with Stamp-It Superfine Detail Embossing Powder. These were then fussy cut. I cut the petals right down to the centre circle of the flower and then rolled the petals around my piercing tool. Each layer was then glued on top of another so the petals were staggered. Three crystals added to the centre completed this flower.
I chose 4 patterned papers for this card. the sizes I cut them to were, 5", 4.75", 4.5" and 9 squares @ 1.25".
The edges of all of the papers were distressed with my distressing tool and black ink.
Double sided tape was used to layer them onto the card base.
To embellish the card I cut another piece of the black patterned paper 4.75" x 1.5" and a piece of vellum 4.75" x 1.25". After distressing the edges of the black paper I attached it to the card base using foam tape.
I used another piece of Finnabair lace which I attached so it was poking out from under the black patterned paper.
I gave the Imaginarium chipboard piece a coat of white acrylic paint before attaching it to the card.
I attached the flower and a couple of leaves with my hot glue gun.
The greeting is from my page of computer printed greetings, I have matted it on a piece of white cardstock and attached it to the card with foam tape.
I hope you have enjoyed reading about my cards. I would love it if you could check out the video over on my YouTube channel here. There is just so much more detail to be seen in the video.
Thanks for dropping by and spending your time here with me today
Till next time
