Other: Stazon black ink, Double sided Tape, Bone folder, E-boss A4 embossing folder Sanding paper, White gelly-roll 08 pen 

Instructions: The finished size of this card is, 14.8 cm x 21 cm. Taking the SUP A4 card stock, for the card base, fold in half. Use the bone folder to sharpen the fold. Cut the vellum and core'dinations card stock to, 14.8 cm x 20.4 cm. this is your card front. Using the Grand oval die cut an oval from the core'dinations card front. Emboss with the embossing folder, then sand the embossing to expose the white core. With the gelly-roll pen, draw and the edge of the oval. 

Taking the vellum, stamp the image from the Vining Fuchsia stamp with the Stazon. On the flip side of the stamping using the two finest nibs from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, trace and fill in the image. Where you do this, it will become white and ball a little on the reverse side. 

Careful not to press too hard or you will make a whole in the paper. Taking a scrap of vellum, core'dinations and spellbinders tag die, die cut a tag from each. Once again using the same nibs from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, trace on the vellum tag the embossing area of the die. (You will not be able to emboss the vellum in the normal way. The velum will crack and break) Stamp the sentiment on the tag using Heartfelt Sentiments Stamp Set. Adhere this to the core'dinations tag with finely cut strips of double sided tape behind the stamped words. 

To put all together: Adhere the core'dinations card front to the vellum with double sided tape, then to the card base. Adhere the tag with double dots to the card front center bottom.

"As You Recover"

Hi!

Funny...this is so apt for today......the net work was down...we have just got it back!
So I am recovering! LOL
That is a very good thing, but, it was a bit scary! It made me realize how much we have become dependent on the net! When you think about it..what would we do if we didn't have it any more.
I know!
......more time to craft!......

This card is one of two I made for this week. Basically the same but with a little difference.
I hope you get to try them both.

Instructions: The finished size of this Tag is 21.2 cm x 12.8 cm. The photo size,3 cm x 3.5 cm. Cut the tag shape out from the Purple card stock and the paper from the paper collection. Taking the “Cascading Fuchsia” stamp set and the matching die, stamp and die cut using the Very Vanilla card stock. Color the Fuchsias with the distress inks. Prick a whole in the center of the flowers. Ball and shape with the Deluxe Shaping Kit.

Using the waxed string, tie a knot tin one end then thread all the layers and a few beads. Apply glue between each layer to secure. Making 9 flowers and 1 flower bud.

Taking the “Bold Leaf “stamp set, use the Forest Moss ink to stamp. Die cut using the matching die set. To make the circle sentiment, use the “You Inspire Me” stamp set. Stamp with gold embossing powder then die cut using the circle dies from the Spellbinders S4-116. For the Celebrating You sentiment, use the “You Inspire Me” stamp set and the “Everyday Heroes” die set. Ink around the edges of both sentiments with Seedless Preserves.

Find the paper with the lace edges strip in the paper collection, cut out. Making a mask from the “Cascading Fuchsia” die, the oval lattice. Cut this x 3 from scrap card stock. Cut away the out side frame. Glue the lattice together to form the mask. Use the same die and Purple card stock to make a extra frame, add a little gesso to the frame then put aside. Taking the tag made from the paper collection, bring a layer of gesso to the tag. Using the mask, apply the gold medium. When dry, apply a thin layer of gesso so the gold is not too overpowering but you still see it. Using Glimmer mist, spray a little color, misting with water when needed. Let it run over the tag.

Taking the gold embossing powder and the “Fuchsia Bouquet stamp set, stamp on both right side corners. Ravel the edges of the tag with the distressing tool. Apply versamark to the edges here and there, gold embossing powder then fix with the heat tool. Adhere the two tags together with Double Dots. For the photo, cut a piece of cardboard from a box to fit. Adhere this together. Sand the edges of the photo to give a white distressed edge.

To put it all together: In the following order, adhere the paper lace strip, the purple frame to the left side of the tag, place and arrange the top cluster of Fuchsia flowers and leaves. Place the photo using Double Dots to give extra height. Arrange and adhere the sentiments to the right of the photo. Arrange and adhere the small cluster of leaves and Fuchsias to the lower left and under the photo. Take 3 lengths of green string to tie a bow at the top of the tag.

 To make the clear butterflies, take the clear card stock and stamp the butterflies with the Butterfly Medley” stamp, using Stazon ink. Die cut with the matching die. (Note: this will not cut through the clear card stock but it will give you a cutting line to go by.) Cut the images out then color with the alcohol inks. (Note: Add color from the flip side of the stamping or the alcohol will smudge your image.)

To finish, bend the wings up from the body and adhere to the tag with cut to size glue dots.
