Lilypad Lake meets Perennial Birthday

Lilypad Lake meets Perennial Birthday

Well Perennial Birthday seems to be my go to stamp set for birthdays at the moment. Especially for male cards.

These two cards are the same except for the Enjoy sentiment, I couldn't decide which one to use so did one of each. I'm veering towards the red on white, which do you prefer?

It's quite an easy card to make (I don't do hard cards) ha ha!!

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, (DSP) = designer series paper, (CS) = Card Stock,
when working with layering dies I start with the largest and work down (ie: the largest is number 1 and the smallest 4).

Card Stock and measurements: (Centimetres)
Night of Navy: 21 x 14.5scored at 10.5
Whisper White: 4 pieces, 14.3 x 10, 4.5 x 3.5, 5.5 x 2, 6.5 x 6.5
Crushed Curry: 7 x7
Silver Foil: 4 x 4
Come Sail Away DSP: 14.3 x 6
Flax Ribbon: 14.3
Embossing Folders: Subtle
Dies: Layering Circles, Lakeside, Smooth Sailing,  Stitched Shapes
Stamp Sets: Bella & Friends ®, Lilypad Lake, Perennial Birthday, Sailing Home
Stampin' Blends: Poppy Parade
Stampin' Pads: Balmy Blue, Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Poppy Parade

Stamp the happy birthday in the top left corner of the Whisper White layer in Night of Navy.
Adhere the DSP about 0.5 from the bottom of the same layer using liquid glue.
Add the ribbon at the top of the DSP half on half off, and adhere using tear n tape.
On the square of Whisper White,  stamp the waves at the bottom, then the yachts (don't worry about the overlay) and lastly the sun towards the top (make sure it's not too high up.
On the smallest piece of Whisper White stamp the Enjoy sentiment in Poppy Parade.
On the last piece of Whisper White stamp the yachts again in Night of Navy.
Now colour in the sails using the blends.
Place all items to be die cut on your plate together. Silver Ships Wheel, Crushed Curry scalloped circle No:4, yacht scene Stitched Shapes circle No: 2, banner, separate group of yachts.
Adhere the yacht scene to the scalloped circle using liquid glue then attach to the base card using dimensional pads.
Overlay the yachts using dimensional pads.
Adhere the banner to the Helm using liquid glue and attach to the base card using dimensional pads.

Will be back again soon with more cards!!

Botanical Butterfly meets Bitty Birthdays

Hi all, hope you're feeling good today!!

Todays card is a very simple one and so easy to make!

I've not made this person a card before, so hope she likes it, I sure did.

To recreate this card follow the guide below:
® = retired, (sab) = Sale-A-Bration, (H) = Hostess, (nsu) = not stampin’ up, (ss) = Stamp set, DSP = designer series paper, CS = Card Stock


Start with a base card of Whisper White (cs) measuring 14.8 x 21 cm scored at 10.5 (my base card is (nsu)).
This is followed by a mat of Whisper White (cs) measuring 10 x 14 cm and embossed using the Subtle folder, then adhered to the base card using liquid glue.

The next layer is a piece of our white Flax ribbon measuring 9.5 and each end folded and cut diagonally to form the V shape. This is attached to the card using glue dots about 8 cm from the bottom of the mat.

You now need two squares die cut using the Stitched Shapes framelits, the largest one with the Botanical Butterfly DSP and the next sized down one, using Whisper White (cs). Once this one is die cut emboss using the Subtle folder. Attach the whisper white one to larger dsp using dimensional pads then adhere the dsp square to the base card the same way (making sure the Subtle grain is vertical).

Cut a piece of Whisper White (cs) measuring 8.5 x 2 cm and stamp using the Birthday Wishes sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays (ss) in Grapefruit Grove , use the Tailored tag punch to create the tails, emboss using the Subtle folder (with the grain going in a horizontal direction)  then adhere to the base card using dimensional pads.

Now fussy cut one of the butterflies form the Botanical Butterfly dsp and adhere it to the white square using liquid glue. (I used my Wink of Stella along the body and edges of the butterfly wings to add some sparkle.

To finish the card off just add 3 Gingham Gala adhesive backed Sequins!!!

hope you liked this card.

Will be back again soon with more cards.
