Sunset Card

Start by creating a Sunset Landscape on an A2 standard size white card panel so, therefore,

• Use a piece of post-it tape or masking tape at the mark of 2-1/4’’ inches from a white card panel to create a horizon line.
• Ink up a Sunset sky over the card panel at the middle point of it using ink blending brushes along with a combination of Mustard Seed, Wild Honey, Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, and Abandoned Coral.
• Remove the post-it tape or masking tape from the card panel, and place it edge to edge over the inked side of the card panel, then repeat the same steps over the lower side of the card panel to create a sky reflection over the Sea.
• Once the ink blending is done and dry over the card panel, use the stamping tool to line up the Sun stamp image in the center of the card panel, and then get the Sun image stamped using yellow and orange dye inks for a better impression.
• Next, add refection to the sea using, a sponge and white acrylic paint.
• Trim off the edges from the card panel to H 5.0’’ x W 3-3/4’’ inches and adhere to its backing a piece of craft foam to add dimension.
• Mount the card panel to an A2 top folding standard size white card base.
• Stamp a sentiment from the stamp set over a piece of white cardstock with Black ink and then, mount the sentiment over the card.
• Finish the card off by stamping 2 bird silhouette groups on each side of the sentiment using the stamp images from the set.
• Embellish the card by gluing down some crystal sequins to add a touch of shine!

Life if a Circle Card

Some of the sentiments from JUN-2021 CSOM, work perfectly along with JUN-2021 DOML so to create a mini slimline card,

• Trim down a 6’’ x 6’’ inches white card panel, create a scoring line at the 3’’ inches point mark and  then, fold it in half.
• Line up the stripes die from JUN-2021 DOML over a large piece of white cardstock and run them through your Platinum 6 Die Cut Machine and Embossing Machine.
• Adhere down with double-sided tape 1 large and 2 white die-cutting strips in the center of the card base.
• Line up the swirl looking die from the set and go ahead to die-cut it out twice from white cardstock and once out of gold cardstock.
• Stack the die-cutting piece together and then glue down the dimensional piece with liquid glue over the card.
• Use the circle die that die-cut  6 outlined circles from the set to die-cut them out from White, Pink Sand, Dahlia, Persimmon, Saffron, Rainforest and Teal Topaz color cardstock.
• Use one of the solid circle dies to die-cut 2 solid  white circle bases.
• Inlay the color outlined circles over the white circle bases, but to increase dimension go ahead and increase a layer from one to the other using the white die-cutting outlined circles.
• Die-cut a second solid white circle and go ahead to stamp and get heat emboss over it a sentiment from JUN-2021 CSOM.
• Finish the card off by mounting the sentiment in the center of the card.
