Mum's Birthday Card Video

Hello, Crafters.

This morning I posted the video which shows how I made my friend Liz's 90th birthday card which I shared here with you on Tuesday, 20th. September 2016. 

I altered the card I made in the video so it's suitable for my Mum's 93rd birtday on 3rd December 2016.  - she'll be 93! I changed colour combo - this time I used Wisteria Wonder and Mint Macaroon. It's a long video because there are several big elements to it. I suggest you keep your finger on the Fast Forward button so you can give it a good workout!!

For today's card, I started with a base of Real Red Cardstock (CS), followed by a layer of Whisper White and a top layer of a stripe design from the Candy Cane Lane Designer Series Paper (DSP).

For the thinner strip actoss the centre, I started with a layer of Whisper White CS, then a layer of Real Red and a top layer of the spotty Crumb Cake from the same set of DSP.

I chose the sentiment from the Wonderful Year Stamp Set  and heat embossed it on top of the DSP using Versamark and Early Espresso Ink. 

I wasn't sure if that would work without scorching the DSP but it worked beautifully; I just needed some teddy bears to finish off my card. 

I took the small teddy bear stamp fom the Santa's Sleigh Stamp Set and stamped five of them. 

I die cut them all using the coordinatimg die from the Santa's Sleigh Framelits.

I cut the legs off three of them so I could adhere them peering over the top, and I adhered two more bears - full size  - standing either side of the centiment.

I painted over all the bears, using my Wink of Stella Clear Gliter Pen. A much easier card to make than today's vide card. Until tommorrow, Happy crafting. JanB.
