craftykarendesigns: Large Woven Threads Birthday Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I have made a pretty birthday card for my Sister. I have used sentiments from my personal stash as I particularly like the fonts but you can use anything that you like. Again, I've used the Woven Threads dsp,I just love it, but this time I have used a pre scored card base as I wanted a larger card, this one is 8" x 8".

Materials

1 x 8" x 8" pre scored card base (actually measured 7 7/8" square)

1 piece of silver foil card 7 5/8" square

1 piece of dsp 7 1/4" square

Scraps of silver foil for the frame and the sprigs

Scraps of purple posy for the sentiments and the flowers

Scrap of coloured foil for the butterflies

Floral essence stamp set

Perennial flower punch

Sprig punch

Butterfly duet punch

Purple posy ink

Gorgeous grape ink

Silver embossing powder

Versamark ink

Heat tool

Heirloom dies and embossing folder

Stitched rectangle die

Die cutting machine

Dimensionals

Multipurpose glue

Instructions

This is a very simple card to make.

Stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card and then adhere the silver foil and dsp layers to the front.

Die cut the frame with the silver foil card and then emboss using the matching folder.

Stamp the sentiment using Versamark ink on the scrap of purple posy card stock and then sprinkle with the silver embossing powder and set with the heat tool. Leave to cool for a few minutes then adhere to the back of the silver foil frame and add that to the front of the card using dimensionals.

Stamp six sets of petals using purple posy card stock and then punch them out, lay one on top of another, offsetting the petals and using a dimensional in between the layers. Punch out two sprigs in silver foil for each flower and arrange them behind the double layered flower. Then attach to the card (I've used wet glue but you could use more dimensionals).

Stamp sentiment in gorgeous grape (if required) and then cut out using a small stitched rectangle die and add to the front of the card with a dimensional.

There you are, one pretty card done fairly quickly, I hope you agree, it looks great, I hope my Sister will like it.

Happy crafting,

Karen XX
