Wonderful Wednesday - Project Day

 Happy Wednesday morning to you all.

I hope you are all well?  

What on earth is happening with this weather just recently?  It can't make up its mind from one minute to the next just lately can it?  One minute it is bright sunshine and the next it is absolutely throwing it down.  I remember some of you saying that you had thunderstorms on Monday so I'm just hoping that we don't get those as I really REALLY don't like thunder.  I mean, during the day I'm not too bad but if it happens at night I am a right scaredy cat! Lol.

Roll on Summer eh?  Let's just hope we get one!!

Right, so if you missed my live on Monday then the edited version is available to watch on our You Tube channel.  Just click the pic below to watch.

It was great to go back and use some of the earlier product that Lisa brought out.  The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that I also added some pastel dew drops on to the front sentiment.

 I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did?

And, if you missed Claire's live yesterday, the edited version is now also available to watch on our You Tube channel.  Just click the pic.

Well, it is Wednesday so you know by now that means a fabulous project for you to have a go at.  So it's over to the lovely Mary Kelly with your detailed instructions.

Partial Die-cutting to create an easel card with the Tropical Flowers

You will need:
LHC Tropical Flowers stencils, die and embossing folder
LHC Variegated Leaf Embossing Folder
LHC Build a Sentiment Collection
LHC Blending inks - Early Sunrise, Margerita, Woodland Moss and 

Strawberry Sundae
Ultimate
Trimmer
Glue
Die cutting machine
Scissors
Foam pads
Score board and tool
White card
Red card/paper

Step 1: To make the main card base cut an A4 sheet of white card at 6 inches along the short side. On the long side score at 6 inches. Fold and burnish in half. Note; one side will be the shorter than the other but it won't matter and means you can use your A4 cardstock.  Fold this shorter side in half  again - see picture. This will create your easel card base.

Cut a second piece of card 6 x 6 inches square. 

Step 2: Using your colours of choice stencil the tropical flowers, die cut and emboss.

Step 3: You will die cut the interesting edge of the tropical flowers into the 6 inch square piece of card. Lay the die down and secure with masking tape as shown. Ensure your cutting plate does not cover the edge.  Run through your machine. You may need to snip the outer edges form the card - see picture 3 below.  Your stencilled tropical flower should match the edge perfectly. Do not attach it yet.

Step 4: For the matts and layers cut a piece  of red card 3 x 5 3/4 and a white layer for on top to 2 7/8 x 5 5/8. This will cover the area below the tropical flowers. Also cut a 5 3/4 inch square piece in red and a white layer 5 5/8 inches square. Emboss the white layers in the variegated leaves folder. Layer up.

Step 5: Add some foam pads to the reverse of your flowers and add to the panel.

Step 6: Add the panel to the base. It will glue to the right hand side of the front. Ensure you line it up.  Next stamp and die cut your chosen sentiments.  Add foam to the sentiments and add one word below the flowers and one on the base to act as a stopper. Add a few gems/embellishment if you wish!

Another gorgeous project Mary, thank you.
