Decadent Oak - Featuring the New Timeless Birthday Verse Stamps

Good Morning Everyone,

Thank you all for your lovely comments and messages on my previous post.

Today's card is a quick and easy one made using the New Timeless Birthday Verse Stamps and a few other products.




Products Used:- All of which are available on Phills website:-
www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

White Card Stock
Timeless Birthday Verse A5 Stamps
Decadent Oak Mister Spray
Decadent Oak Gilding Wax
Decadent Oak Pearl P.V.A. Glue
Ancient Copper Embossing Powder
Sue Wilson Dies - New York Collection - Madison Square

Card Front

Using plain white card stock I began by cutting the layers as follows:-

1st - 7.75 square
2nd - 7.5 square
3rd - 7.25 square
4th - 6.5 square
5th - 5.5 square

Using the second layer I sprayed this with the Oak Mister Spray, then while it was drying I coloured the edges of the 3rd and 5th  layers using Oak Gilding Wax.

Next using layer 4 and the extra stamps included in the Birthday Verse Stamps, I heat embossed around the edges using the Ancient Copper Embossing Powder.
I then attached them all  flat to the 1st layer.

Sentiment


Using the Madison Square Die and the largest of the set I cut this out using plain white card.
Again I used Ancient Copper Embossing Powder to emboss the Birthday Verse and also used the extra stamps in the pack to decorate the corners.

I then attached this using pads to give dimension.

Finally I added Oak Pearl P.V.A. Glue around the edge.

This is now ready to attach to an 8 x 8 card blank.

Hello Everyone,

Today's card is one I did for the show, its another large card as I absolutely love creating these, but I promise the cards for the next few days will be smaller ones, as lots of you have requested these.

For anyone wanting to replicate this card these are the products I used .... which are all available on Phills Website - www.honeypotcrafts.co.uk

The second layer I cut to 11x 7.25
Then using the New Baroque Corner Stamps I embossed each corner using Silver Shine Embossing Powder.
I then embossed this using the Lattice Heart Embossing Folder, and attached flat to the card.

Next using plain white card stock I cut 2 panels, the first on 4.75 x 11 and the second 4.5 x 10.75.
I then used Mister Spray on the first panel.
Using the long stamp from the sentiment set I heat embossed the second layer at the top and bottom, then embossed with the Lattice Hearts. This was then attached to the card using pads to give dimension.

Using the second and third largest  Noble Pierced Rectangle Dies I cut these out using plain white card stock and sprayed the plain one with Mister Spray.

I then heat embossed the Sentiment and glued them both together before attaching to the card, again using pads.

Finishing Touches

Using a sheet of plain white card stock I sprayed it with Mister Spray, and once dried ( a couple of minutes) I cut several of the flowers out using the Perfect Peony Die.
I shaped these and glued them together, then used cosmic shimmer glue and Glitter Jewels Iced Snow to the edges of the petals.

I then cut out the Laurel leaves and while these were still in the die I used Teal Colour Cloud to highlight, then again added Iced Snow.
I then added all the flowers and leaves to the card.

Finally using Pearl Strips I edged around the Sentiment with a double row.

I really enjoyed making this card, and hope you will too.

For this I used a Spellbinder Butterfly Die and cut it out using scraps of Chic Floral Moss plain and patterned paper, and attached to card.

8 x 8 Card Blank

4 pieces of cream card

2nd cut to 4 x 7.75
3rd cut to 3.5 x 7.75
4th cut to 3.5 x 7.75

Starting with the 7.75 square cream card I used the NEW Decadent Oak Colour Cloud to ink around the edges of the card. I then attached this and the patterned Decadent Damask paper to the base card.

Next taking the 4 pieces of cream card and the Inner Border Tag I cut each piece of card, Once this was complete I used the smallest and medium size stamps from the Decadent Damask Border & Icon Collection and randomly stamped the smallest piece of card using first and second generation.
Once this was dry I attached all the layers together, then added a strip of seam binding securing this on the reverse before attaching this to the main card.

Sentiment

Using Spellbinders Labels Twenty Eight and the second largest die I cut this out and then sprayed it with Decadent Oak  Mister Spray. While this was drying which is only a couple of minutes, I cut the third largest die. I then stamped this using the Decadent Oak Colour Cloud and the Decadent Damask Everyday Sentiment Stamps.
These were then attached to the card using pads on both to give dimension

Finishing Touches

I made a triple bow and swags and attached to the seam binding strip, then added a matching Dazzler.

Then to the Decorative Border edges I added the the Twinkles - once this was dry I curled each layer.

Finally I added Decadent Oak PVA to the sentiment.

I then did the die cutting on the 5th layer and trimmed it down to leave a small border.

Using the lovely New Scribbled Corner Stamps 
I stamped the top 2 corners then attached both of these layers to the card, using pads on the burgundy layer. I then added P.V.A. around the curve.  
For the Topper I used an off cut from the Decadent Damask  Paper.
The Sentiment was stamped using Distress Ink

Again using off cuts I cut out the fronds and daisies.            
I added Gilding Wax to the centre of the daisies before
shaping and gluing. Once I was happy with the shape I
added them to the card and finally added the Twinkles.
