Earlier this week I promised to share this GORGEOUS card made using the Lighting the Way Bundle. I can't TELL you how much I love this bundle! It is SO easy to work with! Check this out ...
Isn't it FUN??? This little firefly is the star of the show. I shall call him Edward .. and Edward makes me smile :)
So how do you make this card?
Basic White Card Base - 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"
Basic Black Card Stock layer - 3 1/4" x 4 1/2"
Basic White Card Stock layer - 3" x 4 1/4"
Use a pencil and ruler to make a mark 1" down from the top left hand side of your Basic White layer.
On the right hand side of your Basic White layer, make a mark 2" down from the top.
Use your paper trimmer to cut from the left hand mark to the right hand mark.
Use your paper trimmer to cut from the left hand mark to the bottom right hand CORNER.
Essentially you have now cut a wedge out of your Basic White layer. Discard the middle wedge that you cut out (or save it for scrap or for another project).
Fine Shimmer Gold layer (this is retiring so make sure you scoop some before May 2! .. and it's on sale!) 3" x 3 1/2"
(2) Basic Black strips - 1/4" x 5 1/2"
Scraps of Basic Black and Fine Shimmer Gold for your Firefly. Cut out the pieces and attach using glue dots.
Basic White layer (for sentiment) - 1/2" x 3"
Basic Black layer (to mat sentiment) - 3/4" x 3 1/4"
Assembly is pretty straight forward?
Use Basic Gray or Memento Black ink to stamp the "swirls" on your Basic White layers.
Attach the black strips to the long, diagonal edges of your Basic White layers.
Attach the Fine Shimmer layer to the Basic Black layer.
Attach the Basic White layers to the Basic Black layer.
Pop the Basic Black layer up on dimensionals and attach to the card base.
Stamp your sentiment (in black or gray), attach to the black layer and pop up on dimensionals to attach to the card base.
Make your firefly and use mini dimensionals to attach to the card base.
Finish off with black and gold embellishments.
A real WOW! project that is so easy to make!
