Dahlia Days - Perfectly Pencilled - CASE a Demo - Share it on a Sunday

Hi Everyone,

This time for Share it on a Sunday we are CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit/Copy And Share Everywhere) a fellow Demonstrator. I have chosen the lovely Dena Rekow (The Creativity Cave), a US Demo whose YouTube channel I often watch for inspiration (as well as a few laughs). This is the card that she made that inspired the layout for my card.

Materials

1 piece of basic black card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 4 1/4" x 3", 1 piece 2 1/4" x 2 3/4"

1 piece of basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 2" x 2 1/2"

1 piece of Tahitian Tide card 4" x 2 3/4"

1 piece of Perfectly Pencilled dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8"

Dahlia Days stamp set

Tahitian Tide ink

Tahitian Tide In Colour Glitter Ribbon

Gingham Embossing Folder

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Multipurpose Adhesive

Dimensionals

Mini Glue Dot

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Basic Rhinestones

Take Your Pick Tool

Bone Folder

Instructions

On the long side score the black card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Adhere the dsp to the card front.

Emboss the Tahitian Tide layer and then adhere to the black mat layer. Wrap the ribbon around this layer and tie in a bow, secure the knot with a mini glue dot and add to the card front with dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment on the small white layer and then randomly stamp stamp flowers around it. Adhere this to the black mat layer and add to the card front using dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment and some flowers on the remaining white layer and add to the inside of the card.

I hope that you like my take on Dena's layout. Please click the links below to see what Donna and Victoria have made.

Let me show you how I made it.

Instructions

On the long side score the melon mambo card at 5 3/4" and fold and burnish for the card base.

Add the largest dsp layer to the inside of the card.

Run one of the 3" pieces of melon mambo card through the machine in the Dots Embossing Folder and then cut in half on the diagonal to give the triangular piece for the tuck.

Add mini dimensionals around the outer edges of the triangle on the underside and then carefully add to the top right hand corner of the card.

Add the remaining dsp layers to the rest of the main card.

Stamp a sentiment on the remaining white square and layer up on the 2 7/8" square of melon mambo - this is for the inside of the card.

Add the last dsp piece to the remaining 3" and add to the card front making sure you only add glue to the left hand side, make sure it's central and that the top right corner will tuck underneath the corner tuck spot.

Add the inside sentiment layer directly underneath this one so that it can't be seen when the card is closed.

Stamp a sentiment for the front and punch out with the scalloped oval and layer it up on two melon mambo ovals (you have to overlap them so that show equally above and below the white one - see the picture. Add this to the centre of the square panel on the front.

Punch out some leaves in gold foil and them tuck them around the sentiment.

Add some rhinestones and the card is complete. I hope that you like it.

Please pop over and have a look at what all the other winners have made.
