Flowers and wax seals!

Hey All, today I have another flower and wax seal card for you. These cards are really fun to have around especially if you need a quick and elegant card. Case in point, seems that I have had to make a sympathy card at least once a week lately. Sadly our friends brother passed away unexpectedly, so this card is for their family. Anywho, you can use any sentiment with this type of card and it will work perfectly. Honestly I may make up a bunch without any sentiment just to have on hand, I can throw on the appropriate one and BOOM card is ready! Now, on with the Show & Tell…

The dark background paper has a texture to it, making it perfect to place my flowers on.

A red wax seal with a heart that I added some white paint to the edge of just makes this SO elegant. I paired it all with my deepest sympathy stamp (retired from sugar pea) that I heat embossed with gunmetal powder.

Multiple greens and three flowers colors cut with these nicely detailed dies.

Card Details:

  • Card base of Accent Opaquer White 120lb
  • Bazzil textured blue paper cut with nesting rectangle, adhered with fun foam and 1/4 inch double side adhesive
  • Flowers and leaves cut from multiple papers, adhered with tombow glue
  • Wax seal created on a silicone mat, adhered with tombow glue
  • Sentiment stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with gunmetal powder, cut with word window, adhered with foam squares
  • Red gems added to pink flower centers
  • Blue gems added for bling!
  • Envelope embellished with matching paper and 6 inch double side adhesive

No stamps, No Copics…..

Hi All! How do you feel about new trends in card making? I think I am always a little hesitant to jump right in, in case its just a passing fad. Look, I was YEARS behind with hot foiling! Needless to say when I started to see the wax seal come along, I was intrigued but held off. Until, that is Yana Smakula started really showcasing the “sealed” series from Spellbinders. OK I was sold. This is the first card I have done with the products and let me say I need to finish this post so I can go back and play some more. I am sure you will be seeing lots more “sealed” series items! Now, on with the Show & Tell…

I chose a color scheme of bright pink/green with a deep brownish grey. The panel behind the flowers is shimmer paper, and my was seal is pearl and see thorough.

I love the way these dies are set up, with different layers. It allows you to customize the colors and adds dimension.

The raised heart in my sealed has silver paint on it from paint pen to make it stand out.

Card Details:

  • Card base of Accent Opaque white 120lb
  • Eiffel Tower layer cut with Big and Little Chain die, adhered with tape runner
  • Pink Plaid layer cut with nesting rectangle, adhered with tape runner
  • Shimmer paper cut with rectangle die, adhered with fun foam and 1/4 inch double side adhesive
  • Berry Sprig cit form Sour Apple, Eiffel Tower and Ripe Raspberry card stock assembled with tombow mono glue (green lid), adhered with zig chisel glue
  • Seal created with pearl wax and heart stamp, silver paint added to raised heart, seal created directly onto card
  • Sentiment hot foiled to glimmer specialty paper with iridescent foil, cut with word window, adhered with tape runner
  • Pink Fresh clear drops added for bling
  • Nuvo glitter drops added to the tops of the flowers
  • Envelope embellished with matching paper and 6 inch double side adhesive
