Rosette Fan Birthday Card made with Tiered Rosettes Die

Today, I have a Rosette Fan Birthday Card to share.  This card features Tiered Rosettes – Elegant 3D Vignettes designed by Becca Feeken.  I've also used Oh Happy Day – Elegant 3D Vignettes, Hemstitch Ovals, Ornamental Crest, and Cascading Grace .

When I made the fan, I had a simple card in mind.  Well, so much for that!  It simply needed a layered ornate background! 

Here are a step outs for making the fan....

First, die cut one of Tiered Rosettes – Elegant 3D Vignettes.  I started with ivory cardstock with lace edge.  Here's how I laid it out to cut.

Once cut, I snipped the paper between lace edge and rosette base. The lace edge die can be placed right next to the rosette part.   I chose to leave a little space when I cut it.

Next, cut one rosette of 3 other patterned papers.  I used scalloped edge on 2 pieces and pointed edge on one.  Here are the pieces folded.  I also cut 2 ivory strips that are .5 x 3.5 inches, scored and folded to .25 inch wide.  Two rosette centers are cut from black and patterned paper.  I used a gold vintage button and added a gem to the center.

Each layer is fastened with adhesive at the bottom edge. It's hard to see in photo but I've applied adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. This adhesive has a very strong hold.

Each layer was fastened with different amounts of reveal.  Here's what the back looks like.  

Strips have gold paper fastened to one side which will show on fan edges.

I used a darning needle and pearl cotton to thread through holes of rosette. Photo shows thread through outer hole.  I pulled it out and skipped outer holes on each end. 

First hole was skipped so edges can be fastened over it.  Cord was knotted to hold rosette shape. 

Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ in was applied to strips.  This adhesive has a very strong hold to keep edge in place over layers.  Each side piece was slipped over outer edge of rosette, ends extending at bottom. 

At this point I stopped taking step out photos....sad face.

The ends of strips are lapped and stapled to hold them in place.  Button was fastened to patterned paper and black circles with Adhesive Dots Medium. An Adhesive Dots 3D was used to fasten button and gold cord to fan.  Beads are added to cord ends.

Card:

Working up from card base (5 x 7.25 inches) which is ivory cardstock with inked edges.

Next, a layer of patterned paper over black cardstock fastened with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.  I like to use the Ultra adhesive on the corners for a strong hold and the E-Z Dots along the edges. Don't fasten to card at this point.

Next layer is black cardstock cut with outer die from Cascading Grace.  DecoArt Metallic Lustre Gold Rush was rubbed at corners. Over that is black cardstock cut with Ornamental Crest also rubbed with Gold Rush Metallic Lustre. 

Next is two Hemstitch Ovals, one of turquoise paper cut with holes and behind it a solid oval of gold linen paper. I stamped Penny Black Script with Tea Stain Distress Ink.  All fastened with  E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser.

A black label was cut with die from Oh Happy Day – Elegant 3D Vignettes.  Happy Birthday was stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with gold.  I used Metallic Lustre Gold Rush around the edges.  It's fastened with 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix.  Gold cord is tied to a brad at each end. Ends are tucked and fastened behind background paper. 

Fan is fastened with 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix, one under the button and a few spaced behind fan and edges.

Small tag was cut from ivory cardstock using die from Cascading Grace.  It was inked, stamped with small verse and tucked behind button. 

Finally, fasten all to card base.

I hope you've enjoyed my tutorial.  There are so many ways to use Tiered Rosettes die! For more inspiration, check out Amazing Paper Grace blog on March 27 when Becca will show a project and projects from other members of her Creative Team.

Happy Creating!

Filigree Easter Basket made with Amazing Paper Grace Ornamental Arch

 Hello everyone! Here's a sweet little Filigree Easter Basket made with Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes and Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes designed by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders.  This is a fun little treat basket.  Paper color can easily be changed for a completely different looking basket.  Make a variety of colors!

 

Here's how to make this little basket....

 

 

Cut 2 side pieces with  Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes

 

 

Partially cut arch with Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes inner arch die.  To do this place die on arched paper piece and tape in place. (use removable tape).  Place on cutting place.  Place cover plate only over portion of die to cut arch.  This is over the arch part.  I've made a light pencil mark along the side for how far to cut.  Run through die cutting machine in this way.  Pressure will only be applied where cover plate is covering die and rest won't cut.  You can see one piece that is cut in the photo.

 

Cut 2 of Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes side pieces.  Cut one in half for ends of basket.  Trim other one to same size as bottom edge of basket side piece plus 1/4 inch on each end.

 Here you can see the bottom has been cut and corners diagonally cut.  Ends were scored at 1/4 inch. 

 

 

 

Apply Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to back of white cardstock.  Cut 2 with Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes outer die and filigree arch.

  

 

 

From cutouts, cut 2 with Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes inner filigree die.

 

 

Cut curved portion off of filigree inner piece.  

 

Place filigree pieces on basket sides by removing Adhesive Sheet backing and pressing in place. 

 

 

Apply Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ in to edges of bottom and side pieces.



 

Fasten bottom to bottom edges of both basket sides

 

Fasten end pieces to bottom.  Fold up basket sides and fasten to side edges.

 

Basket looks like this

 Curl flaps over round object like pencil or marker.  Secure to each side with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ in.  Stack pink and white buttons. Stitch through holes with pearl cotton. Fasten button to basket side with Adhesive Dots Medium.  I used 2 for extra sticking power!

 

To complete basket, tie bow around handles.  I colored the seam binding with Distress inks to match my buttons.  Cut white tag with Graceful Tiny Tag – Vintage Elegance die.  Stamp verse on tag.  Tie to basket handle.

 

Fill baslet with Easter grass and candies!  Enjoy!

 

 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Paper Flowers Headband and Hair Clip with Cinch & Go Flowers III

Good Morning! 

Today I've made a Paper Flowers Headband and Hair Clip using Spellbinders APG Cinch and Go Flowers III – 3D Vignettes .  I amazed myself with how pretty these flowers turned out!  How cute for a baby or little girl to wear!

 

The flowers were cut from pale pink cardstock.  Here you see the die and cut flowers.  For the larger flowers on the headband and hair clip, I used the largest 3 flowers.  The flower buds were made with one each of the 2 smaller flowers.

 

 

Each of the flowers was colored with Abandoned Coral Distress ink.  I applied the ink a bit darker on one side.  That's the inner part on the flowers. Both sides were misted with water to make the ink blend into the paper. 

 

 

Leaves and flower calyx were cut from green cardstock.  These were shaded with Peeled Paint Distress marker and misted with water..  The leaves were cut apart to fill in around the flowers.

 



I forgot to take photos of how I shaped the flowers....sorry.
I use a stylus with large and medium ball ends. I place each flower on a piece of craft foam or an old mouse pad.  Then I use the stylus to rub the petal into a cup shape.  Becca has a good YouTube tutorial that I watched to learn how to shape the petals. She shows the original Cinch and Go Flowers.  The technique works the same for Cinch and Go Flowers III – 3D Vignettes.
I used hot glue to fasten the flowers and leaves to a small piece of green felt for both the headband and hair clip. A few white stamens are tucked in between flowers.  The felt was wrapped around the headband and fastened with hot glue. 

 

On the hair clip, the felt is cut to fit the top of the alligator clip and glued in place with hot glue.

 

I love how these turned out! 

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Creating!
Judy
