90th Birthday!

My Aunty Nancy, baker of such fabulous biscuits - we named them after her - and one of the most stylist ladies EVER, has reached the marvellous age of 90, and my mum asked me to make a card from us… what do you think?

Stampin' Dimensionals - 104430
SNAIL Adhesive - 104332
Glue Dots® - 103683

How I Made It...

1.  Using the Stampin' Trimmer, cut Brushed Silver card to 10 x 5", score at 5", making a 5" square card blank.

2.  Cut Shimmery White Cardstock to 4-3/4" Square, adhere to inside as insert panel.

3.  Cut Fancy Foil Vellum to 4-3/4" Square, adhere to front of card, using SNAIL just behind the dots, so the adhesive doesn't show through.

4.  Take a length of the Organza/Satin ribbon and tie over the card front securing in a bow at the top left corner, trim tails.

5.  Using the Big Shot cut the No.2 label frame lit (No.1 being the smallest) from the Brushed Silver card and then cut No.3 from the shimmery white card.

6.  Working on some scrap paper, wipe over the surface of the silver No.2 label with the embossing buddy.  Stamp the messages in VersaMark Ink using the Stamp-a-ma-jig for perfect placement.  Cover with the White embossing powder, tap off the excess and return to the pot. Heat set the message with the heat tool, until the powder has melted and turned a bright white.  Set aside to cool.  Once cooled, mat on top of the white No.3 label with dimensionals and adhere the white label to the front of the card with further dimensionals.

7.  With the Petite Petals punch, punch 3 vellum flowers, curl gently with your fingers, or the butt end of the piercing tool and the foam mat. Place a rhinestone in the centre of each flower.  with a glue dot on the back of each flower place them in a cluster at the bottom right of the sentiment label on the card - done!

With the Brushed silver card retiring, you may wish to try this card using Smokey Slate as the base card?   and as Memorable Moments Stamp Set retiring, you can either catch it if you're quick at the great reduced price of £18.66 - 126682, or, hang fire until 3rd June when the NEW Annual Catalogue is launched - you're sure to find some equally lovely stamp sets in there!

This card would also be great for Weddings, Engagements, Silver Anniversaries even Christenings with a simple change of sentiment!

Enjoy! - any comments would be gratefully received!
