Instructions

BASE CARD and MATS

Cut pink card stock to 7" x 10", score at 5", and fold. Cut dark gray card stock to 4 7/8" x 6 7/8". Cut patterned paper to 4 3/4" x 6 3/4". Mount the patterned paper mat on the gray mat. Adhere a strip of pink ribbon around the mats, and a strip of woven ribbon on top of the pink ribbon. Mount the stack of mats onto the card front.

IMAGE

Using embossing ink, stamp the dove swirl and sentiments on white card stock measuring 3 3/8" x 3 1/2", and heat emboss with silver powder. Adhere a pink ribbon above the sentiment. Mount this onto gray card stock cut to 3 1/2" x 3 5/8", then mount this stack onto pink card stock cut to 3 5/8"" x 3 3/4". Mount the image stack above the ribbon.

EMBELLISH

Glue the double-heart charm on the pink ribbon (I used glue dots AND glue). Put a drop of pink liquid pearls onto each cross point of the patterned paper, and let them dry. Finish with a double bow of pink ribbon glued to the center of the ribbon strip.

Inspiration

This is the last card I had on the Heartfelt Creations blog this week. The nice folks at CropStop sent the HC design team embossing folders by Couture Creations - mine is the "Replacements" design. One of the cool things about these folders is that there is an opening along the fold line of the folder about 2" wide. It lets you emboss a long strip of paper simply by moving the paper through the slit and running it through the machine again. Pretty neat!

I have a friend who buys houses and fixes them up to rent or sell. All the gears made me think about his tool box and tools he takes everywhere as he works on multiple projects. So I combined the gears on the embossing folder with the "Sprightly Sprockets" dies from Spellbinders, and the new home sentiments from the Chateau Gate Collection with a door image from the Artistic Gatefold Collection.

Instructions

BASE CARD and MAT LAYER

Cut a piece of lavender card stock measuring 7" x 10", score it at 5", and fold. Cut a piece of patterned paper measuring 3 1/2" x 6 7/8" and mount it on the left of the card front.

EMBOSSED LAYER

Cut a 2" x 5" strip of yellow card stock, and emboss it with the Replacements embossing folder. Sponge yellow ink over the embossed shapes. Mount the strip across the bottom part of the card front.

GEARS

Cut/emboss the largest sprocket dies, and one of the small sprockets using yellow card stock. Before removing the die cuts from the dies, sponge the exposed areas with yellow ink. Mount the large sprocket die cut in the upper left corner of the card front. Stamp the sentiment lines in purple ink inside the large sprocket directly on the patterned paper. Glue metal gears around the card.

DOOR

Stamp the door in green ink on green card stock, and trim closely. Glue the small sprocket die cut to the center of the door, and one of the metal gears in the center of the yellow sprocket. Mount the door to the front of the card using foam squares.
