Happy Wednesday Crafters.....
This week I've taken a 'short' break from my festive crafting, or more honestly lol, I got distracted with the NEWEST of Jamie Rodgers Crafts releases!
Today's blog brings you a piece of elegancy... let me show you
Step 1
I took a sheet of Polar White Elite Card for my base, but I didn't fold it in half just yet.
Taking the outer oval from the above die set, I centralised it off the long end of the card.
Using the same die, I cut another two ovals in Polar White and Rose Petal Pink (see Photo Below 📸)
Next, I used the inner die (on the white only) and ran through my die-cutting machine; securing the die with low tack tape. Now I folded and scored in half.
Step 2
I then used Clear Drying Glue to stick the white die cut into the solid pink.
📝 NOTE - This is a little tricky, however make sure you get a drop on each part where possible.
✅ TOP TIP - As there are a lot of intricate cuts here, I put a sheet of kitchen roll over the top and then used a roller so all the pieces stuck down well.
Once done, I turned it over before cutting it in half with a craft knife (as seen below 📸)
Step 3
📝 NOTE - Wet glue is the best adhesive to use to glue the two halves to your card base.
I put the one inside first and closed the card to line it up properly.
I used a ruler to line up the one on the front.
✅ TOP TIP - I cut some pink lines using the above Straight Lines Die.
This is one of the most useful dies you will ever invest in... I use it for most projects!
I then glued the small ones to the top and bottom of my card.
Step 4
For the flowers and foliage I used the Cosmos Flower and Cosmos Leaves Die Sets.
Here I cut out several flower pieces and stamens in white and pink.
Using my moulding mat and an embossing tool, I added some dimension to the petals.
On my white flower, I applied Tattered Rose Distress Oxide Ink to the tips with a blending sponge.
📝 NOTE - You can also use an embossing tool to add dimension to the foliage too.
For that little extra leverage, I attached my flowers to the card with a Glue Gun.
I used wet glue for the leaves and to tuck under the flowers.
Step 5
The final step was the sentiment.....
I chose to use two of Jamie's Layered Sentiments as you can interchange the layers and sentiments which is very handy!
I cut these again in pink and white to match with the rest of my card.
For that extra detail (and dimension), I used foam tape to add the sentiment onto my card.
That's it completed and how easy was that! Elegance in no time at all!
I hope you will try this project out and in the colours of your choice.
