Good  Evening Everyone

Thank you all for your lovely comments and messages on my previous post, its good to know you are enjoying replicating some of my posts,and that you gain inspiration from these. It makes it all worthwhile.

Today's card is one I particularly enjoyed making as it didn't  take too long and only used a few products, but I must say I was very pleased with the result.

All the products used to make this are listed below and are available on Phill's Website:-

This is how I created the Card Front

Using Cream Card Stock I cut the layers as follows

1st layer 7.75 square
2nd layer 7.5 square
3rd layer 7.25 square
4th layer 6.25 square
5th layer 6" square

Next taking the 2nd and 4th layers I used Perfect Medium and Bright Gold Embossing Powder on the edges.

Then I used the Climbing Vines Embossing Folder on layers 3 & 5

I then attached all the layers together using Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Glue.

Sentiment

Using the  Timeless Large Oval and Small Oval Stamps I stamped these onto cream card and heat embossed them using Bright Gold Embossing Powder.

I then chose the largest Banner the  'With Very Best Wishes' Sentiment and again heat embossed in gold.

After cutting these out I attached the Ovals to the card using pads to give dimension.

Then I shaped the 'Banner' and attached with Cosmic Shimmer glue.


Finishing Touches

 I made a quadruple bow using Bakers Twine and attached the Padlock and Key and finally I added the Art Deco Metal Corners using Cosmic Shimmer Glue.

Good Morning Everyone,

Once again a very big thank you to all of you who have taken the time to comment and message me on my previous blog.

Last Monday I posted a card on the blog and was asked to make a 'Retirement' card based on the same design.

Today I would like to share my creation with you, to show how different variations can be created using the same products but with a few changes.

I chose a Verse from the Retirement Verse Collection Stamps and heat embossed using Silver Embossing Powder.

I then attached this to the card using pads to give dimension.

Flowers
The flowers are the same as previous blog




Finishing Touches

I added a butterfly to this card (instead of the dragonfly) which I cut out using Blue Card Stock, I then used Glossy Accent on the wings and edged them with glamour dust.

Thank you all so much for your very kind comments and messages on my previous post.

Today's card is one I made for The Trade Show at the N.E.C. I would like to share it with you so you can see how stunning  Phill's New Dies are.

Although this is an A4 card, it can be adapted for smaller cards.

This is how I created it:-

I started by making a 'card front'

layer 1.
Burgundy Card cut to 11.75 x 8.25

layer 2.
Cream Card cut to 11.5 x 8

layer 3.
Burgundy card cut to 11 x 7.75

I then layered these together flat.
Next I cut a piece of Cream Card 10.75 x 7.5 and Embossed it using the Rambling Blossom Embossing Folder, and attached flat.

Border Die:-

Using Burgundy Card I cut 2 border dies out and attached these flat lining them up with the smallest layer of burgundy card.

Sentiment

Using the largest of the rectangle dies I cut this out using Burgundy Card and then cut the patterned one out in cream and mounted it onto burgundy card before attaching both of these to the card using pads to give dimension.

I then cut out the 'Happy Birthday To You' in both Cream and Burgundy Card and glued them together (staggered) to give the 'shadow effect'
I then attached the sentiment to the card using pads.

Next I cut the butterfly out using a small scrap of burgundy card, and attached to the card.

Finishing Touches :-

I added pearl strips to the edges of the borders. Then on the outer edge of the sentiment die I added Diamond Snow Glitter Jewels.
The butterfly I edged the tip of the wings with diamond snow and glossy accents to centre of the wings.

Finally I added glossy accents to the Hearts of the Sentiment.
The card front is now ready to attach to an A4 card blank.
