Directions:
Step 1: Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 12” x 7”, score at 6” along the long side and fold to create a base card 6” x 7”. Cut a piece of silver cardstock 6” x 7” and adhere to the front of the card. Cut a piece of pattern paper 5 7/8” x 6 7/8” and adhere to the front of the card.
Step 2: Cut a piece of white cardstock 6 1/4" x 6” and die cut both edges using the edge die from the HCD1-7263 Swirly Accent Spray Die.
Step 3: Die cut four large decorative dies from the HCD1-7263 Swirly Accent Spray Die set- two out of white cardstock and two out of silver cardstock. Adhere the white decorative die over the silver cardstock offsetting it slightly. Adhere the decorative dies to the edge of the shaped card.
Step 4: Die cut the eyelet ovals from the HCD1-7156 Eyelet Ovals & Basic – Small Die set and the HCD1-7157 Eyelet Ovals & Basic Ovals – Large Die set out of silver cardstock. Die cut an oval out of dark pink paper using the No. 2 die from the HCD1-7157 Eyelet Ovals & Basic Ovals – Large Die set and adhere to the silver eyelet ovals. Die cut the oval from a panel in the pattern paper using the No. 2 die from the HCD1-7156 Eyelet Ovals & Basic– Small Die set and adhere to the pink oval.
Step 5: Adhere the assembled ovals to the decorative Swirly Accents and then adhere to the card front as shown.
Step 6: Stamp the leaf images from the HCPC-3948 Sweet Magnolia Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour the leaves with Vivid Chartreuse and Library Green inks and die cut with the coordinating dies. Colour the back of the leaves with Vivid Chartreuse ink.
Stamp the magnolia images from the HCPC-3948 Sweet Magnolia Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Cactus Flower ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Colour with Pink Peony ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Colour the backs of the flowers with Magenta Hue ink. For the buds stamp the small flowers on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper in Library Green ink. Colour the flowers with Vivid Chartreuse ink and the centres with Library Green ink and die cut with the coordinating die. Colour the backs of the green flowers with Vivid Chartreuse ink.
Step 7: Shape the leaves and flowers in the HCFB1-5005 3D Magnolia Shaping Mold. Have the small flowers and leaves with the stamped side down and the larger flowers with the stamped side up.
Step 8: Assemble Magnolias using two of each size flowers. For the small buds use a hot glue gun to shape the petals into a bud. Shape the flowers to show the flowers in different stages from opening into a full open flower. Add the green petals to the bud and the small flowers.
Step 9: Add small magenta-coloured pearl stamens to a single yellow bead stamen with cotton and add Dries Clear glue to set it. Trim the end of the stamens when the glue is set, and then add to the centre of the flowers with a hot glue gun.
Step 10: Add Crystal Clear glitter using clear gloss gel medium with a paint brush. This gives a lovely shiny finish with the glitter.
Step 11: Stamp the bud images from the HCPC-3949 Sweet Magnolia Buds Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock. Colour the images with Zig Clean Colour Brush Markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
Step 12: Stamp the sentiment from the HCPC-3844 For My Friend Sentiments Cling Stamp Set in Cactus Flower ink on light green pattern paper. Die cut using the banner die from the HCD1-7204 Arrows & Banner Die set.
Step 13: To complete the card, adhere the leaves to the left side of the oval. Add the flowers and buds over the leaves. Trim the painted buds and add around the leaves and flowers. Mat the sentiment with silver cardstock and add the sentiment to the card as shown.
