Everything Wonderful

The Texture Chic 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is gorgeous! The only thing making it even more gorgeous is the use of the Gilded Flakes on the torn edge. The new Charming Sentiments Stamp Set and Sentiment Silhouettes Dies add the extra special touch to make this card “Fabulous”!

Everything Wonderful is one of the 17 sentiments in the Charming Sentiments stamp set. It is bundled with the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies and each sentiment has its own coordinating die.

Texture Chic DSP

The Texture Chic Designer Series Paper was not something I noticed right away. In fact, I wasn’t crazy about this DSP until I got it into my hands and now, I love it! One side has gold though out and the other side compliments it so well without any gold. An easy card to make and the results are “wonderful”. It’s a perfect DSP to use with the Gilded Leafing.

Measurements:

Soft Suede 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ – card base
Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ – inside card
Petal Pink 1 1/2″ x 3″ for stamping
4″ x 5 1/4″ Texture Chic DSP

Instructions:

Score the 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ Soft Suede cardstock at 4 1/4″ for the card base
Take the panel of DSP and about an inch from the top right, slowly tear at an angle toward the bottom left; pull the right side of the paper downward toward the left
To the torn edges of the other piece, place small amounts of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the torn edges; you can smear it around a bit with your fingers or a sponge
TIP: You don’t want too much glue here, just enough to make the torn edge tacky
Gently press this panel, glue side down into your container of Gilded Leafing making sure all the glue is covered
Using a sponge, brush or your fingers scrape the excess Gilded Leafing away
Set aside to completely dry
Adhere the other torn edge with the opposite side face up to the right side of your front card base allowing for a border of Soft Suede
Wrap Gold Cord around the torn panel with Gilded Leafing and tie a bow about 1/3 down from the top
TIP: You may want to secure the bow with a Mini Glue Dot
Adhere this panel to the top left of the card base overlapping the torn DSP on the right
Stamp your greeting in Soft Suede Ink on the Petal Pink cardstock and die cut the greeting
Using Dimensionals, add the greeting to the front of the card
Stamp your greeting on the 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Basic White
Adhere this to the inside of your card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue
Add 3 Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card

This card was actually very easy but looks difficult. I have found it a lot of fun to work with the Gilded Leafing but it can get messy. TIP: make sure you have turned off your ceiling fans and you have a container deep enough to keep the Gilded Leafing in. Keep the lid on this container when not using the Gilded Leafing.

I’d love to see what you have created with the Gilded Leafing and/or the Texture Chic DSP. If you try this card, let me know how it went and I’d love to see a picture or your project!
