Vintage style embossed card

Hello  all

I have a new card to share today using products available at Swedish House Crafts.

Start off by embossing a tall card with the Crafters Companion Textures Pebbles Embossing Folder. Spritz over the top with gold mist spray and allow to dry. 

Cover bottom of the card with paper  And then cut out a small rectangle from pattered paper and adhere to card. Cut out a frame using the Gummiapan Stitched Rectangle Nesting dies and adhere it to the small rectangle.

Cut out the Gummiapan Doodled Heart die from white card stock and glue this to the edge of the frame. Stamp out the Happy Everything stamp onto white card, cut it out and adhere across the heart.

Home Is Not A Place Stamp

House Dies

Stitched Rectangles Dies

Sequins Turqouise

Sequins Bronze

Cover a square card blank with patterned paper and tear a few strips of washi tape off and stick them to edges of the card.

For the shaker box i use craft foam instead of 3d sticky tape. First i find the two die sizes i want to use and then i place one inside the other and hold in place with washi tape.  I  then cut one or two frames from the foam and one from patterned paper.

 Next i cut the largest die from paper and from acetate. The foam frames i glue together, you can do more to create a deeper box. I glue the foam frames onto the rectangle cut from the patterned paper  and once the glue has dried i then add the micro beads and sequins. Then i seal it with the acetate and add the frame cut from patterned paper.

Glue lace along the back of the shaker box and then cut out three of the houses from patterned paper. Glue them to the front of the shaker box in a row and then add a sentiment to finish.

3) Stamp the remaining ink off of the Numbered Circle stamp and onto the ATC background.

 4)Paint blue metallic lustre around the stars.

5) Apply a stencil around the edges
