INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE THE ‘Z’ SLIDER CARD FROM A4 card stock. 
This Z slider card fits into an envelope that measures 22 cm x 21 cm when completed. The finished size of this card is 17.5 cm  x 21 cm. To make the card base: Taking the A4 card stock and score at 6 cm and at 12 cm along the long edge. Fold into valley and hill folds. This will form the card front foot (6 cm x 20.8 cm) and card front background (17.7 cm x 20.8 cm). For the slider, cut 11.5 cm x 7 cm. For the card front cut 14 cm x 17 cm. All the matting layers will be cut at 2 mm smaller each side.  Cut one matting layer in each of the Tan card stock and the design paper found in the paper pad to fit all the card base elements. Distress the design paper edges then you can adhere all the matting layers together with tape or glue. 
DO REMEMBER, 
not to glue the top edge of the card front and the first matting layer. This is so you can slide the slider between the card stock layers. If you forget to do this, don't panic.

Adhere the slider to the top centre of the card background front. (Make sure you do not place the glue and double-sided tape too low. If you do this, the card front will not sit flat when closed. If this happens, to fix it, make a slider guide for the back and place it lower in the back ) Adhere the card front to the centre of the card foot. Slide the slider in to place. 
For the card front decoration: 
Make and adhere all the embellishments to the card front. NOTE: All the stamping is done with the gold embossing powder. 


Stamp the dog collar twice and trim to fit. Use the crop-a-dial to take the wholes in the dog collar loops.


Make the paw hanger by die stamping once and die cutting extra to give it strength. Adhere the paw layers together using the clear drying glue. Stamp the bones and cut a few extra. 


Stamp the sentiments onto the bones.


 Adhere the layers of the bones together for strength the design paper and adhere to the front with the foam dots.Fussy cut the butterfly found in the left over design paper. 


Once all is in place, apply the star dust stickles to the soap bubbles and butterflies. 



Apply the Platinum stickles to the flower centers then set aside to dry. 
Don't you just love that dog collar and paw hanger ? I sure do.

Make all the embellishments for this card. First make the daisy’s buy stamping with the gold embossing powder, die cutting, adding color and shaping. Each flower has two layers. Adhere together.

The Beauty Is Meant To Be Shared...LOVE OF MY LIFE


Hi, got something yummy today for you all....

Over at heartfelt Creations we are doing whats called a cross promotion with a great company called
Creative Embellishments...
love chippies and I'm not talking about the ones you eat!...lol  



Heartfelt Creations Products And Products Carried By Heartfelt Creations:


Other Products Used:

 CREATIVE EMBELLISHMENTS: 
Love Border Words, Victorian Wind Up #1 and Victorian Wind Up #2.

Distress inks: Peeled paint, Forest moss, Victorian velvet, Evergreen bough, Mustard seed, Fossilized amber. Card-stock: Green, Pink, White.  Ranger:Tim Holtz mask-Gothic TH5026, Versa-mark, Diamond dust , Heat gun, Water coloring brush, Foam inking tool, Hot glue gun, Sand paper. 
Other: Want-2-scrap self adhesive half pearls.Cardboard / Grey board (for the backing of the LO), Fussy cutting scissors, Structure paste, Plastic card / Spatula.


Directions:
The photo for this lay out measures7.8 cm x 6.8 cm.
Take the design paper and trim the white top strip away. Apply the structure paste to the design paper by using the mask so the design will show from behind the clustering later. Leave to air dry. While you are waiting, prepare the Creative Embellishments chip pieces by 1st covering them with the versa-mark. 2nd over with the gold embossing powder and then 3rd apply heat with the heat gun to melt the powder. Trim the love of my life chip between the f and the m so you have two pieces. Stamp the roses and leaf images from both the Classic and Blushing collections. Color, die cut and bring shape to all the images with the shaping tool kit. Apply a sugar coating to the roses and rose buds by first applying the clear drying glue to them, then dip the roses and rose buds into the diamond dust. Leave to air dry. Trim the photo to size. Sandpaper the edges of the photo to give a distressed edge. Before arranging and adhering all to the LO base, back the design paper with the grey board / cardboard so your base will stay flat and be able to carry all the embellishments applied. When the glue is dry, start by arranging and gluing down the photo, leaf swirls and roses to the lower right side of the LO. Arrange the flowers, leaf swirls and chips as seen in the photo of the LO. Arrange the chip sentiment. Apply the ? pearls to the open flowers and place here and there between the swirls and leaves. Add a few ? pearls to complete the flower cluster trail on the left.


Above you can see all that glass glitter on the roses....close up is not that great but you do get to see how much was used. When the roses are done. Add wet glue and dip into the glass glitter jar. Tap the excess away into a container a couple of times when dry as no matter how careful you are the excess glass glitter will still away and you find it every where....lol 

Look at all this creamy yum! Love the masked background!....and look at that gold embossing.
Makes the water colouring that much fun. 


I fell in love with the wind up's. Victorian gentlewoman. and men.
I want at least, 10 in each style!...lol


The chips are covered with gold embossing powder...I thought perfect for this LO. 


Love the glass glitter. It catches the light perfectly, a little more subtle than stickles and glitter but does the job just as well and makes a refreshing change.


In these close ups you get to see all the details of the 1/2 pearl placements.


Small details do count...it's candy to the eye.....


Here you get to see close up the masking....so creamy


The print in the paper design made it so easy to arrange the roses with the trailing leaf swirls as a base. Once again, the 1/2 pearls enhance the beauty of the flowers.The gold gentle man tipping his hat to the gentlewoman in the lower section of the LO...brings the story together.


I had such fun creating this LO...a bit of mixed media is always fun and always love making the roses...putting it all together....Mm Mmm...well....working with Heartfelt Creations product is always a fun journey.....
See you next week, till then inky hugs....from sussipoppins oxo
PS....don't forget to go back the Heartfelt Creations and see the other eye candy over there....
