Lilac Get Well Soon and green Happy Birthday

These two cards are almost the same as the lilac happy birthday only I did not cut around parts of the flower just stamped more flowers and decoupage them to hold the embossed in place.

Scrap Box Bits

I have boxes of bits of card, and folded cards from old kits, the embossed A.T.C. made me think about using some up, no two cards will ever be the same.

    Blue Congratulations

Onto a piece of white card using Versa mark, stamp the flower and congratulations, clear emboss this, with stormy sky distress ink and a stencil brush, working from side to side keeping the outer edge almost white, but over the flower and congratulations needs to be quite dark so it will stand out, go around the edge of the card with black ink, using pieces of blue and navy card that tone with the stormy sky ink, scrunch up the navy card open it out and rub over it with a sanding block, now attach them to a white card starting with the navy twist each piece so each colour can be seen under the embossed card.

       Green Happy Birthday

I found a white card with a piece of green card mounted onto it almost the same colour as pine needles distress ink, stamp the flower and happy birthday using versa mark and clear emboss it, colour as above with pine needles and go around the edge with black ink. A lighter piece of green card  was scrunched up and opened out, and rub over with pine needles ink, attach the light green and white card in place, fix a light green card candy to each corner.

         Lilac Happy Birthday

A 7”x5” lilac folded card was used as the base card, onto a piece of white card about 1.5cm smaller than the base card, using memento tuxedo black stamp a flower in each corner, with the two leaves and curled petals, facing into the centre of the card, lightly colour this with dusty concord distress ink, edge the card with black ink, cut a piece of white card to fit just over the curled petals stamped on the white card, on to this stamp the flower and happy birthday using versa mark and clear emboss it, working with stormy sky distress ink in the centre over the words and part of the flower, and dusty concord to the edge both colour need to be quite dark, edge the card in black ink, using a craft knife cut around the two curled petals and part way along the two leaves, you will now have slots to slip the corners of the embossed card in, make sure the embossed card fits before you attach it centrally to the base card.  

ATC cards

The cake ATC was made using versa mark ink and clear embossing powder, on white leather look card.

‘It’s a piece of cake’ was stamped across the bottom, with the cake on a plate just above it to the left, mask of the cake, and stamp the big cake just to the top of the plate.

Go over the whole card with distress vintage photo ink, edge the card with memento rich cocoa ink.   

The ring ATC was made using pale gold pearl card, cream lace was glued to the back of a small brown nestabilities shape, stamp the rings onto a piece of gold card using black stazon ink, stamp ’To have and to hold’ onto some pale gold pearl card in memento rich cocoa ink, cut this down to3.5cm x 3cm

Round of the corners and edge it in rich cocoa.

Cut the rings out and shape them, with a foam pad fix them to the bottom left hand corner of the brown shaped card, and the ‘To have and to hold’ to the right hand side.

Cut out and shape the cake, heart and flower, attach the cake centrally to the top of the silver/red card, fix the heart over the bells with a foam pad, attach the flower in place, fix a clear crystal gem to each corner of the red card and one on the ribbon.

Attach the silver/red card across the middle of the card.

50th Anniversary card

With vintage photo distress ink, lightly cover the front of an A5 hammer finished card, down the side of the card stamp congratulations in vintage photo ink.

Roughly tear a piece of brown card to fit down the folded side of the card, attach some gold chiffon ribbon to this and attach to the folded side of the card, place a cream card candy, to the corners of the brown down the folded side.

Stamp the heart cake, one extra flower from the top of the cake, a 5 and 0 onto some cream pearl card, using memento rich cocoa ink, go over the5 and 0 with the edge of the cake to give it some pattern.

Colour in the bells, ribbon, leaves, centre of the flowers, and the top edge of the cake with a gold pen. Cut out and shape the cake, flower head only, 5 and 0.

Black and white wedding stationary

Using white pearl card and memento tuxedo black ink, stamp two of the large flower, the rings and the round congratulations.

Colour in the rings, both centre of the flowers but only one set of leaves using ice gray 3 promarker. Cut out the round congratulations, and colour around the edge with the gray promarker, cut out the rings, the flower with the coloured in leaves, and just the flower head of the other one, shape the flowers and rings.
