Misti, Hot glue gun, Cocktail stick, Creative Embellishments-“Hope”



Instructions:
This Z slider card fits into an envelope that measures 22 cm x 21 cm when completed. A4 cardstock is used to make the 17.5 cm x 21 cm ‘Z’ slider card 
To make the card base: Taking the A4 cardstock and score at 6 cm and at 12 cm along the long edge. Fold into valley and hill folds. This will form the card front foot (6 cm x 20.8 cm) and card front background (17.7 cm x 20.8 cm). For the slider, cut 11.5 cm x 7 cm. For the card front cut 14 cm x 17 cm. For this card, the white base is inked with forest moss distress ink. This ink lets the pearl base show through. All the matting layers will be cut at 2 mm smaller each side. Cut one matting layer in each of the green card stock and the design paper found in the paper pad to fit all the card base elements. Ink the edges of the design paper with forest moss ink. Adhere all the matting layers together, except the top edge of the card front and the first matting layer. This is so you can slide the slider between the card stock layers. If you forget to do this, don't panic. Then you make a band measuring16.5 cm x 2 cm and adhere to the top back side of the card front. Use this for the slider guide; adhere to the back of the card front. Fixed. Adhere the slider to the top center of the card background front. (Make sure you do not place the glue and double-sided tape too low. If you do this, the card front will not sit flat when closed. If this happens, make a slider guide for the back and place it lower in the back. ) Adhere the card front to the center of the card foot. Slide the slider in to place. 
Make and adhere all the embellishments to the card front. First stamp and make the flowers. The stamping for the flowers is done with the gold embossing powder. When shaped with the flower shaping kit, add the clear drying glue to the tips of the daisies, then dip into the glitter. Put aside to dry. When dry tap off the extra glitter.

Cut the leaves and sentiment banner using the Cut-Mat-Create die set. Ink the edges of all of the elements. Stamp the sentiment. Color the cocktail stick and adhere to the back of the sentiment to look like a post. 


Stamp the Pooch and his bones. Die cut the images and extra 4-6 times extra to make chipboards from the images. Adhere all together. 


Taking the Creative Embellishment “Hope” word, apply the clear drying glue to the front of the word then dip it into the glitter. Add a second layer if needed. 


Put aside to dry. Once all the layers for the card base has been put together and the “Hope” is dry, you can now adhere all the embellishments for the card. First adhere the bones to the lower card front, then the Pooch to the center using the aid of foam 3d dots to keep the height even.


Adhere the daisies and leaves then the sentiments. 


Note: When adding the slider decoration, make sure the slider still slides before securing with glue.

Click HERE or HERE to see the making of Heartfelt Creations rose
The finished size of this card is 19.5 cm x 16.5cm.
Find the fold out card from the card set that fits the dies on the product list. Taking the card stock cut strips to measure 17.8 cm wide. For each card fold front cut two fancy boarders and one plain. Using the card shape to guide where to place the boarders on the card stock. Tape them down so they won’t move as you put them through the die cutting machine.  Trim to the length as needed. The lace boarders I cut shorter than the card as it would be too heavy and bulky if I did not. Run the plain card fronts through the machine with the embossing folder. Ink this with the tattered rose ink to make the embossing pop. Distress the top edge of the embossed layer, finish the layer edge with a touch of Aged mahogany ink. Apply enough ink to the lace boarders so they will be totally colored green or pink. The pearl effect will show through the ink. Adhere all the layers in their place. Stamp all the sentiments, roses and leaves with the black ink. Color, die cut, and shape the leaves and flowers. Use the pearls for the center of the roses as you are making them. Add with the inking foam tool a little aged mahogany ink to the top of the rose buds and roses to add more interest. Cut the sentiments so they will fit in the card sections. Bring the Forest moss in on to the sentiment shapes with the foam-inking tool adding walnut stain ink to the edges to give more depth. Adhere the sentiments in place with the 3d foam tape. Not to make it too thick or the card will not close. Arrange and adhere the leaves and roses around the sentiments. Trimming the swirls and leaves as you go. Tip: I found the hot glue gun good to adhere the roses and leaves as they stayed in place and did not have to hold them in place till the glue dried. The down side is you have to be fast and placement has to be correct first time. Wet glue is more forgiving and you can change the position if you got it wrong. When all glue is dry and embellishments are secure. Apply stickles to the swirls to finish the card.

Well thats it for this week.
Scrappy inky hugs to you all and have fun playing.

Keeping you up to date: The building here is starting to come together, The stairs, windows and electric in in. Holding my breath as electric sockets and lighting is a big issue in a craft room! Hoping I did well but I am sure I will be missing something when all is done....The laundry will be closed and ribbed by the end of the week, so I can do a load of washing that has been piling up for the last few weeks. Yes still living out of a suit case and camping in the lounge down stairs. Yip living in there worlds at the moment. Mine, the real world and the building white dust and rubble world....lol.
One thing I do know, once all is done I will be living in a dream world....can't wait. Hoping to put the floor down in end Dec-Jan. So when all is in it's place...round march I think...all going well.
Then the fun really starts....can't wait!

Click HERE to see how to make the roses

The finished size of this card is 13 cm x 18 cm. select the card base that is standing in the length from the Fold out card set that also matches the die shape used. Taking two 30 cm x 30 cm Grey brown card stock cut this into lengths of 10.8 cm wide. Do the same with the design paper but cut at 10.3 cm. Using the card base as a guide align the dies on the card stock to cut the lace boarders, then trim to the length of that section of the card. This way I did not make any cutting faults. You could cut the card stock to the length wanted, but I found this wastes a lot of paper and you had to be sure of the finished size as this does not allow for measurement faults. Do the same for the design paper. Taking the structure paste, and mask/stencil, make a textured surface onto the design paper. Put aside to dry.  While drying make the roses from the water color paper. Stamp, color, die cut and shape. Do the same with the leaves but using the gold embossing powder for the stamping. Stamp all the sentiment images. Stamp the oval shape twice as you will want to fussy cut the word ’Love’ and adhere in its place with 3d foam dots. Fussy cut the sentiment that has a butterfly in it, to a butterfly shape.  Die cut the oval and fussy cut the circles. Use the Walnut stain to ink the edges. Cut the wreath out x 7. These will be trimmed and layered to fit behind the sentiment circles and oval as you go. Once the structure paste is dry, distress the edges of the paper then adhere the card stock and design paper to the card base. Apply gesso to the card stock lace boarders and the wreath edges. Adhere the sentiments to the card, trimming the wreath as you go so it will become matting for the sentiments. Arrange and adhere the roses and leaves around the sentiment. Add a few of the clear bubbles in and around the arrangement. If you do not have these bubbles you could replace them with matching beads, half pearls or mini buttons. When all is dry and secure, apply stickles to the lace edges, buckle clasp, butterfly wings and add a few dots near the flower arrangement.




Above, 1st layer...card background base. You might ask, where do I write my message. You can see a blank white space on the left, this is the back of the fold out. So there is more than enough room to write as much as desired.


More eye candy..

Instructions: 
The finished size of this card is 17.7 cm x 17 cm. This fold out card is folded onto it self and secured to form a book fold with pockets to hold the tags.


Taking the 30 cm x 30 cm card stock cut strips measuring 17 cm wide. With the design paper cut strips measuring 16.5 cm across. Using the fold out card, align the boarder dies that match the shape of the card to the card stock. Cut the boarder lace into the card stock then trim to the measurement you want top fit the base. The design paper is cut the same way but using the plain boarder cut die.


 Taking the swirly die cut, use this to die cut into the design paper as seen in the photos. 



Adhere all the layers to the card base then adhere the folds down to form the pockets for the tags. Stamp the boarder from the ‘All glammed up’ collection onto the design paper with the gold embossing paper. 


Die cut the heading for the tags. Now trim the sides to form the tag shape. Adhere to the brown card stock then cut so the card stock shows from behind the tag.



Make the bows using once again the ‘All glammed up’ collection. Apply the gold embossing powder to the bow edges and tie ends. 


 Adhere the tie ends and bow to the tags and across the front of the card. 
Do the same to the front inside but adding a strip of brown card stock first to the background. 


Using the word boarder dies cut the words out 4 times. Trim so the letters are all separate. With the clear drying glue tweezers and prick pen, adhere the letters in place. 


Once all the words are in place, it makes it easier to add the letters in layers. You do not have to do this but it does make the card pop more. 


To finish the card add stickles to the cut out swirls by the leaves and to the bow centers. Apply a few stickle dots to the tag headings.
