Thinking of You Card

 

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my Thinking of You Card. I combined a variety of A Way With Words Dies and stamps as well as Modern Gilding Powders which were all perfect for creating this card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Thinking of You Card at home.

To start, you'll need to choose three pieces of coordinating patterned paper. Cut the first piece to 4 1/2" x 5 1/2". Cut the second piece to 4 1/4" x 5 1/4". Cut the third piece to 4" x 5". Ink the edges of all three pieces using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut the Flourished Frame out of a piece of white cardstock.

Die cut the scroll from the Flourished Frame die out of a piece of coordinating patterned paper.

From the Create a Wreath die, die cut the bow out of a piece of coordinating patterned paper.

From the Butterfly Flourish die, you'll need the small butterfly. Cut the butterfly twice out of another piece of coordinating paper.

From the Christmas Accents you'll need the extra small and small flowers. Die cut the small flower three times out of one of the patterned papers already used. Die cut the extra small flower three times out of one of the other coordinating patterned papers. Shape the flowers as desired.

Die cut a 1 1/2" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Thinking of You sentiment from the Christmas Collection Stamp Set and stamp onto the rectangle. Sprinkle Gothic Black Modern Gilding Powders over the stamped sentiment. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Black Soot Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Adhere the 4 1/4" patterned paper piece to the 4 1 /2" patterned paper piece. Foam square the 4" patterned paper piece to the 4 1/4" patterned paper piece.

Adhere the flourished frame to the 4" patterned paper piece. Adhere the scroll to the middle of the frame. Adhere the bow to scroll as desired.

Foam square the Thinking of You rectangle to the middle of the 4" patterned paper piece as desired. 

Adhere the flowers together. Adhere on flower to the top right corner of the rectangle. Adhere the remaining flowers to the bottom left corner of the rectangle.

Adhere the two butterflies as desired in the bottom left corner of the rectangle.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of a piece of white cardstock that measures 4 1/2" x 11", score at 5 1/2". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.

Here is the finished Thinking of You Card.

Winter Fun - Baby It's Cold Outside - International Merry Christmas - snowflake frame

It's Yogi here today with a snowflake framed easel card white on white - not my usual colorful self... I really had to concentrate not to add color... I started playing with Tim's Bigz edger die "Snow Flurries" and the next thing I knew, I created a frame... and the rest just evolved... If you don't have this die, any edger die should work.

I'm using an A Way With Words dies "4 Seasons - Winter" 4pce set and "Fun/Play" 2pce set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design  HERE and HERE

And using a "Christmas Collection" clear stamp set from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And I'm using a sentiment stamp set from Quietfire Design. ("International Merry Christmas" 6pce set)

Scored, folded my white cardstock to create the 7"w x 5"h easel. Cut another piece same size as card,  and adhered to front. Cut a piece of white Coral Reef texture cardstock and adhered to front. (it's a very textural thick paper)

Stamped the quote using Versamark on white cardstock and embossed with silver embossing powder. Die cut using Elizabeth Craft Designs "Stitched Rectangles" and adhered to front.

Die cut the snowflake pieces from white cardstock. Inked the largest snowflake (using the negative die cut piece as a stencil for the bottom legs of the snowflake) with Versamark and embossed with Emerald Creek "Soft Fallen Snow" (again more texture). Colored the other large snowflake with a Krylon silver leafing pen. Applied Quickie glue pen on the small snowflake pieces and sprinkled with Stickles dry glitter "Diamond". Trimmed off some of the little snowflake legs where they overlapped when forming the frame and adhered them to mask the frame joins. Adhered the pieces together to create the frame. Stamped the Xmas sentiments using the Versamark and embossed with silver embossing powder. Adhered to front with 3D foam tape.

Added white pearls to some of the snowflakes.

On the floor: adhered a piece of 3D thick foam to a white/silver gauze ribbon and adhered to floor to act as my stopper. Tied and adhered the bow adding a white snowflake button.

Added a white and a silver snowflake brads

Die cut the "Winter Fun" from DoCrafts silver mirror cardstock and adhered to floor.

 Adhered a piece of white gauze ribbon with 3D foam tape to act as my stopper. Tied a large bow and added a snowflake button.

Added a couple snowflake brads.
