Praying for You Now

Welcome

You're So Sweet

Just Because 4

Stamps:

   Circle Circus

Paper:

   Strawberry Slush A-2 (2)

   Pistachio Pudding A-2 (2)

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (4 for Stamping & 4 for Inside), Scraps

Ink:

   Coastal Cabana

   Crisp Cantaloupe

   Pistachio Pudding

   Strawberry Slush

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   CAS

Accessories:

   Swirls Embossing Folder (Cuttle Bug)

   Fancy Fan Embossing Folder

   Square Lattice Embossing Folder

   Petals a Plenty Embossing Folder

   Hodgepodge Hardware (Vanilla, Silver, Antique)

   Adhesive

I chose a stamp set that had circles with various patterns on them to stamp my backgrounds. I chose one color for each pattern. I stamped the 4 Basic White panels, using a stamp from the Circle Circus stamp set and one color from those listed above. I covered the entire panel with that pattern and color. 

I also wanted a different texture to each panel. So, I ran each panel through the die cutting and embossing machine, using a different embossing folder for each. They are listed above under accessories.

Next, I cut each panel exactly the same and then exchanged the cut panels so that each card had a piece from each of the other cards. 

    First cut was to cut one inch from the four inch side of each panel. 

    Second cut was to cut 1-3/4 off the 5-1/4" side of each 3 x 5-1/4" panel.

    Third cut was to cut 2" off the 5-1/4" side of each 1 x 5-1/4" panel.

I then found four sentiments that fit inside each of the Hodgepodge Hardware frames. I stamped them on scraps of Basic White, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Next, I traced the frame for each one and fussy cut it to fit securely into each frame. You can also just add a glue dot behind it and then place the frame to fit directly on top of it.

I then added a sentiment and frame to each of the 3 x 3-1/2" panels and secured them with their matching brads. 

Next, I arranged each of the pieces onto 4 card bases as shown above. I chose to use only two of the colors as card bases.

Lastly, I adhered each panel onto the card front and added a Basic White panel to the inside of each card.

Next, I sponged the tag with Melon Mambo ink.

I then placed the sponged tag on top of the Hello Honey scrap and cut it to measure a bit larger then the Basic White tag. I adhered the Hello Honey tag in the center of a Basic White panel.

Next, I dry embossed this Basic White panel with the Hello Honey tag, using the Fancy Fan Embossing Folder.

Next, I die cut about three or four Little Leaves to place behind the flowers and add a bit of color to the card front.

I then arranged the flowers and leaves on the card front as well as the tag. When I had them in place, I attached the sentiment first, using dimensionals.

Next, I adhered all of the flowers, using dimensionals and adhered the leaves, using liquid adhesive.
