Autumn Birthday Card and my fur helper.

 Autumn Birthday Card And My Fur Helper

Now that Fall is in the air I decided to design a Fall birthday card for the weekly challenge over at Freshly Made Sketches. Be sure to check out all the other amazing designs HERE.

I used the beautiful "Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series  Paper" as the main focus for my card. With so many amazing Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers to choose from, let them do all the work for you!

I started with a card base of Rich Razzleberry Card Stock cut to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

I cut a layer of Rich Razzleberry C/S to 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" and embossed it using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. 

Rub a small amount of VersaMark Ink onto the Rich Razzleberry Card Stock layer onto the left side, top and bottom. Apply some Heat and Stick Powder, heat set just until it turns shiny. Apply some Gilded Leafing.  I use a stiff paintbrush. I love the subtle gold shimmer it adds!

Cut a piece of Beauty Of The Earth Designer Series Paper to 4 1/2" x 3 1/4" and a piece of Basic Black C/S to 3 3/8" x 4 5/8". Attach the DSP to the Basic Black C/S layer. Attach to the right side of the card base using Dimensionals.

Stamp a greeting using VersaMark Ink onto a Basic Black C/S strip, emboss using Gold Embossing Powder. Flag cut one end. Add Dimensionals to the back.

Loop some Gold Simply Elegant Trim, attach it to the card and add the sentiment strip over top. 

I think this would make a great birthday card for anyone celebrating a Fall birthday!

We just returned from a lovely visit with my parents in beautiful Sointula B.C. 

We had to wake up at 3:30 am to catch a Ferry over to Vancouver Island......the up side was seeing this amazing sunrise!!!

This is the spectacular view from my parents home in Rough Bay, Sointula. 

My fur helper, Lola, chilling on a log....I guess it was comfortable?

Sointula has lots of deer roaming around. We love going for deer drives to check them all out, city folks!! LOL!!

Happy Stamping and Creating!!!

Gilded Leafing Floral Card

Gilded Leafing Floral Card

This card is very ornate! I did have fun playing with the Gilded Leafing. My cards tend to be more simple, so this is for me, a very detailed design! I think I like it......LOL!

  

Directions:

I started with a card base of Basic Black Card Stock, 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and scored at 4 1/4".

Cut another piece of Basic Black C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and emboss using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder.

Using your VersaMark Ink Pad, gently rub some ink over the embossed surface. Then sprinkle with the Heat And Stick Powder and tap off excess. Heat set until the powder turns clear. Then rub on some Gilded Leafing. I use a stiff paint brush to pick up and move my leafing around and gently rub off the excess. Attach this panel to the card base using Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue.

Fussy cut some flowers out of the True Love Designer Series Paper. You can even use partial flowers, once they are tucked behind the other full flowers you can't tell. Colour the flowers and leaves using Stampin' Blends. I used; Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Highland Heather and Misty Moonlight. Attach flowers to the card base. I used Dimensionals on some and Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue on others. 

Die cut a small detailed butterfly from Brilliant Wings Dies using Gorgeous Grape C/S. Attach to the card using Glue Dots. Add 3 Rhinestones and a gold bow from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo.

I also sprinkled on some Wink Of Stella for even more sparkle! 

I hope you enjoyed todays card. Click on any of the supply list photos for shopping. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! Thanks!

Happy Stamping and Creating!

 Team Blog Hop

Welcome to our first Canada Inks Up! Blog Hop!

The list of participants is at the end of my post, have fun hopping around and seeing all the talent from our team!

For my card today, I brought out my Stampin' Blends again.

Directions:

Cut a piece of Basic Black Card Stock to 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 4 1/4".

Cut another piece of Basic Black C/S to 4" x 5 1/4" and embossing using the Tin Tile 3D Embossing Folder. Attach to the card front using Multi-purpose Glue.

Fussy cut some flowers from the True Love Designer Series Paper and colour them with Stampin' Blends. The colours I used are: Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Highland Heather and Misty Moonlight. Sprinkle some Wink Of Stella onto the flowers.

Using VersaMark Ink and your fingertip, ink up the center of the flowers. Sprinkle on some Heat And Stick Powder and Heat set until shiny with your Heat Tool. Be careful not to over heat it, it turns shiny very quickly. Using a stiff brush or your fingers, pick up some Gilded Leafing and apply to the flower centres. Gently wipe off excess. 

Attach flowers to the card front. Some of mine are glued down with Multi-purpose Glue and some are attached using Dimensionals. 

I tied a double bow with the Gold Thread from the Forever Greenery Ribbon Pack and stuck it down with a Glue Dot.

I hope you have enjoyed todays card and our first Blog Hop!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
