Vintage Labels - Flap card Tutorial with Faux Metal

Good day y'all

I hope you having a good day so far! We are at Thursday Carey!!! he he :-)

so I had found three challenges that I wanted to do!

ouh yes so you guessed it I put them all together he he :-)

Oh and I added the Late night challenge

So that 4 challenges into one! yhahoooo that is so cool!

okay wait I better hold back the excitement, what if it don't work he he

sooooooooooooo here's the challenges

the first one I found was the Flap card (and I have tutorial for you)

Just us Girls

 

then I had to find a colour challenge

Found this one

Our Creative Corner 

I had invisioned something on that flap

sooooooooooooooo

Faux metal, and that I found a challenge for he he

Hand Stamped Sentiments

I will show you how I did this as well

I am going to show you the card cause otherwise it may not make much sense

I am keeping the faux metal part a surprise he he 

okay let's start with the colours (they are specific in this challenge )

decisions decisions

you would think this was going to be the easy part rigth LOL

okay I decided to use the Sweat pea designer paper   

so let me give you some measurements

 

I did the flap part with my circle cutter

ouh but you will see I kinda messed up!

 
I didn't make the circle big enough so I had to trim down my base card

 

sorry about that so now it's 4 3/4'' x 12'' 

same score lines

here is the base - folded

I then put a couple of little magnets

like this

 

so You all know how much I love to layer

because I have worked with magnets before I know that I can't over layer over that magnet

sooooooo I decided to do DSP  I used the Stampin Up Sweat Pea DSP

perfect colours uh?

I did layer the inside panel as the magnet would not be affected with this area

coming together nicely

I did a scalloped edge in old olive and so saffron

--------------

Faux Metal

you will need versa mark

Gold or Silver embossing powder

a stamp

and cardstock

I used Vintage Labels here

apply versa mark over the enitre area of your card stock

apply Embossing powder over the area

and heat

you can see the embossed area

now you need to do this

3 times

so versa mark again - embossing powder and heat

on the third heat this is what should happen

like this

you want it THICK!!!!

now while it's WET

you will

then you will remove it after a good minute

and there we have it Faux Metal

aint it just the coolest ever????

he he THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SUCCEEDDED

I had tried a long time ago and I was not pleased with it at all

I  am so happy

okay now to do a punch

too cool

okay let's finish this thing up okay?

no I need to cover up this magnet on the inside

so I used a piece of the DSP

and decorated the same way as the front of the card with a nice fancy border!

so now for some ribbon

doesnt that faux metal piece look awesome??

I did some eyelet in the cute little tags that I did

I used the same Faux Metal Technique and I used the Tiny Tags stamp set along with the cute little tag punch!

it's coming along but I just don't like how plain it looks

soooooooooooooo

ouh yes some pretty satin ribbon should do the trick

 
I used sticky strip to adhere the little faux metal piece

that is the front piece - I really like it

I created some oval shapes for the border with my big shot and also 

for the inside 

this one is for you Roscoe's Mom he he  

and I created another little tag for the inside of the card

okay I think I am ready to show you the entire card now he he :)

that is the flap card closed with the Faux metal on the flap

 
the flap card open

you cannot see any magnets

I love that he he :)

I know I get excited over the silliest little things :-)

up clos photos 

I used three brads on the bottom

 

aren't these the cutest little tags you have ever seen???

 
doesn't it look like real metal??

it's just so cool!!!

there we have it my  blogging friends

this is the end of my post for today

I realize I super late this morning

I look forward to a fun 10 min card tomorrow
