Destiny is Not a Matter of Chance Notecard

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Destiny is Not a Matter of Chance Notecard. I combined a variety of dies, stamps and Modern Gilding Powder, which were all perfect for creating this notecard. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Destiny is Not a Matter of Chance Notecard at home.

To start, die cut a 3 3/4" Stitched Indented Square out of kraft cardstock. Die cut a 3 1/2" Fitted Indented Square out of a piece of book page. Distress the edges of both squares. Ink the edges of both squares using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3 1/4" Stitched Indented Square out of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Grid Background stamp and stamp onto the square. Sprinkle Celtic Mint Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped image. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of the square. Ink the edges of the square using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 2 1/4" Stitched Circle out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Destiny is not a Matter of Chance stamp and stamp in the middle of the circle. Sprinkle Copper Scroll Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Distress the edges of the circle. Ink the edges of the circle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the ornament from the Love Joy & Peace Christmas Ornament die out of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the ornament and sprinkle Dilly Dilly Lavendar Modern Gilding Powders over the ornament. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.

Die cut a medium and two small butterflies from the Butterfly Flourish die out of watercolour cardstock. Using a waterbrush and water colours, colour the butterflies as desired.

 Adhere the 3 1/2" square to the 3 3/4" square. Foam square the 3 1/4" square to the 3 1/2" square.

Adhere the ornament to the Destiny circle. Foam square the Destiny circle to the middle of the 3 1/4" square.

Adhere the three butterflies as desired around the quote.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 7 1/2", score at 3 3/4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Step by step tutorial: Vintage Christmas card using Modern Gilding Powders

 

Hello Crafty Friends!

Are you a member of the Suzanne Cannon Fan Group on Facebook?  Every Sunday it is Show Me Sunday and this past Sunday I gave a sneak peek of this vintage holiday card.  It is easy to make and the results are stunning.  

The card features the lovely stamp: Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

The beautiful rubber stamp is available at Emerald Creek Craft Supplies.  Of course, Suzanne's gorgeous Modern Gilding Powders are available at Emerald Creek.  (They are also available at Simon Says Stamp.)  Today's card uses the yummy Celtic Mint Modern Gilding Powder.

Now, before we start the instructions, I wanted to tell you some exciting news: I have a new camera!  I took photos while I created the card...but my craft room is a little dark.  I do hope that you pardon my photos as I am still learning how to use my camera and I obviously work in a cave.  LOL.

Instructions:

1-  Use a watermark ink (such as Versamark) with stamp onto white card stock.  Heat emboss using Celtic Mint Gilding Powder.

2-  Pick out an oval die.  (I chose an ornate oval die.)  First die cut the stamped image, keep the die cut in the die and then dry emboss.  Leave the die cut in the die and apply a light vintage tan along the edges as shown.

3-  Die cut white card stock from a slightly larger oval die.  Apply watermark ink along edges and heat emboss using Celtic Mint.

4-  Next, pick some snowflakes from other Suzanne Cannon stamp sets (she has so many pretty snowflakes to choose from!).  Cut a piece of white card stock that will be matted onto your card base.  (my card base is 4.25 x 5.5 so I cut a piece of card stock to 4 x 5.25)  Use watermark ink and randomly stamp snowflakes along the outer edge.  Heat emboss using Celtic Mint.

5-  Apply the same vintage light tan ink along edges.

6-  Mount snowflake mat and then the larger oval onto the card base using double sided adhesive tape.

7-  Apply foam tape to the back of the stamped die cut and apply to card base.

8-  Adhere bow (I used hot glue) to top of card.  For extra detail, add either Glitter Drops, gems, or pearls to the rounds on the Christmas tree.

The vintage holiday card is complete!  I adore the soft Celtic Mint color and how easily it can be used to create a vintage style card.

I do hope you enjoyed the card!  Please feel free to share your take on this card on the Suzanne Cannon Fan Group!

Have a happy, crafty day.

Big Hugs,

No Act of Kindness...

Hello Quietfire fans!  Betsy on the blog today sharing how I made this beautiful

simple card using:

Rubber Stamp - Act of Kindness 

Modern Gilding Powders - Celtic Mint

I chose my papers to match the Celtic Mint Modern Gilding Powders.  I started by

taking an A2 size white top folding card base and adhering a piece of the aqua wash

paper to it.  That piece measures 4" x 5 1/4".  Next I took my patterned piece of

paper and die cut 2 different sizes in my die set.  The stamped quote fit perfectly

on the smaller one.  Then I heat embossed the quote with the Celtic Mint Modern Gilding 

Powders and stamped it onto the smaller of the 2 patterned pieces I had die cut.  

The soft shade of the Celtic Mint Modern Gilding Powders went so well with

the patterned paper.  I adhered the larger die cut piece to my card first.  Then

I adhered the embossed piece and popped it up on a piece of fun foam.

I added a double crepe bow and a few gold rimmed pearls.

And that finished my card!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial.  Quick, easy and elegant!
