The Jolly Fat Elf: Faux Neon Friday-Eastern Palace and Happy Birthday Gorgeous

Hi everyone!

Welcome back to a Faux Neon Friday. I am sorry that I have been absent, but trying to prepare for a new catalog and deal with the end of the month at work as kept me really busy!

I have 2 cards for you today using product from the new 2017-2018 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. If you are a VIP customer, you should have received yours by now. If you would like a copy, click here.

I have a super simple card for you today and then one that's a little more involved. I really love how they both turned out even if they didn't go exactly as planned!

For the first card, I paired the Eastern Medallions Thinlits with the Happy Birthday, Gorgeous stamp set to create a really fun medallion.

My card base is Basic Black. Since I was making 2 cards for you today, I used one piece of card stock to create 2 card bases that measure 4 1/4 x 11. Before cutting, I scored the card stock at 5 1/2. I find it easier to do my scoring first! I stamped the sentiment and then used the medallion thinlit to make the frame.

You will need a circle die to cut out the medallion. The medallion die only cuts the pattern. It does not cut around itself. I made a boo boo while cutting mine out and that's why I ended up cutting the surrounding edge off. You'll see what I mean in the video.

The strips of card stock are cut at 1/2 x 4 1/4. They were meant to be straight, but if you know me, you know that I am crooked as heck and nothing is ever really straight with me! I really love how simple, but graphic this card is! I love it and I hope you do as well.

For the next card, I knew that I wanted a black flower with the colors peeking out from behind. I started by using washi tape to adhere the outer die and the inner die together so I could cut 5 of these flowers. Once the flowers were cut, I used the outer die to cut the 5 pieces of colored card stock.

The first plan for this card was to have it be a top folding card. I really like it turned on the side! After gluing the black flower to the colored background, I used the 1/2" circle punch to punch out coordinating centers. I glued everything together with liquid glue and added the flowers to the card base with snail.

I stamped the hello sentiment and circle onto a piece of Whisper White and used the 1 3/8" circle punch to punch it out and I added it to the card with dimensionals. The final touch was to add the Clear Faceted Gems. They are simply stunning and the photos do not do them any justice!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed these two cards. Check out my monthly promotions and the how to videos below.
