Hello! Welcome to the Essentials by Ellen December release blog hop. I'm delighted you stopped by and am happy to share my project with you. If you've been following along with the hop, you will have come here from the blog of Carly Tee Minner.
I was challenged to work with the new Bottles of Bubbly die which I combined with a stamp from the brand new Cue the Confetti set.
This set came at the perfect time for me as my husband, who works in law enforcement, was just promoted to Sergeant. So we're "Poppin' Bottles" indeed!
First, for the products: The A2 card base and white cardstock are Neenah Solar White heavy cardstock, the patterned paper is the Modern Graphics by Essentials by Ellen and the gold Paper is Gold Foil by Bazzill.
Stamp: Essentials by Ellen Cue the Confetti
Die: Essentials by Ellen Bottles of Bubbly
Ink: Clear Emboss It by Ranger
Embossing ink: Gold by Hero Arts
To start, I cut a piece of white cardstock slightly narrower and shorter than the front of an A2 card. To that, I cut the bottle with my die cutting machine. The next step is to do the gold embossing of the greeting. Then, I choose the black and white dotted patterned paper and glued it directly to the back of this white cardstock. I loved this particular paper design because it reminds me of bubbles rising to the top of the bottle - a great design for this purpose!
I glued small strips of the gold oil paper and black and white patterned paper directly to the A2 card front as seen in the sample card, then used 3D foam dots to stick the white cardstock with the bottle on it to the card front so that that piece is layered above the backgrounds.
Thank you for joining me on this hop today. I hope you enjoyed your visit. Your next stop is the blog of the amazingly generous and creative Jennifer McGuire. And if you get lost, you can always start again in the Ellen Hutson CLASSroom.
