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!!

Celebrate You meets Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Hi Friends, and welcome to my world.

For this card I'm using up some of my really old card stock and DSP, but it can be made easily with some of the current DSP, Card Stock and embellishments. 

Do you like my new Mothers Day present (I just love it) it's from my young grandson, who always gets granny a nice card and present,  as well as mummy.

I got lovely cards and presents, from all my beautiful children and Grandchildren. 

You may notice from previous posts Owls are one of my things and this pair are especially nice.

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 card base of Early Espresso (cs) measuring 11 x 29 cm scored at 14.5 cm
River Rock® (cs) measuring 8 x 2.5 cm
Cajun Craze (cs) measuring 3.5 x 9.5 cm
Well Worn® DSP measuring 6.7 x 21 cm

Fold the DSP in half at 10.5cm, and with the open side on the right mark at 4cm up and cut diagonally to the top on the right hand side (this makes the wedge for both sides), then cut down the centre to get the 2 pieces and adhere to the base card using liquid glue.

Stamp the It's your day! from the Happy Birthday Gorgeous (ss) in Cajun Craze onto the River Rock (cs).

Die cut the Celebrate sentiment form the Celebrate You thinlits along with the stamped It's your day! using the larger label die from the Lakeside framelits at the same time.

Adhere the Celebrate using multipurpose adhesive sheet applied to the (cs) before die cutting.

Adhere the It's your day! using dimensional pads.

Add some Candy Dots for added interest!!

Will be back again soon, thanks for dropping by.
