#Tutorial for #Spellbinders Gerber daisy #Christmas card S2-066

Hi there, todays christmas card are made from Sue Wilson die - Seville and Spellbinders Gerber Daisy  S2-066.

Here you can see them in red and purple!

 Cut/emboss 4 of the Large Base and 2 of the small Base from red cardstock.

Cut/emboss the petal die 8 times through your die-cut machine, from red cardstock. 

(now you got 16 petals of each size).

 Cut/emboss 3 Disc Florets from red cardstock. With die cut remaining in the die, 

Distress the florets with -black soot-.

Cut/emboss 5 Leaves and 1 Calyx from green cardstock. With

die cut remaining in the die, Distress the leaves and the calyx

with -black soot-. 

 Add the same color to the petal die cut pieces, and only in the base of the petal,

not to the end! 

Shape the Disc Floret fringe with the stylus and (I use) a mouse pad, and then fluff the edges with your fingers.

Using a stylus or pen barrel, shape the petals on each flower by rolling it around

the stylus.

 Add glue to the tips on the Large petal base and insert 8 Large petals into 

the small notches, if you have problem with this, you can open them up a litle bit.

Do this with all of your petals and bases. 

You'll have 2 large, 2 medium and 2 small flower bases when you are done. 

 Shape 3 of the leaves, just litle, and glue the calyx and the leaves to the back of

the Gerber.

 Glue your flower together by staggering the petal layers to create your layered 

flower base. Once your flower is stacked, use the tip of the stylus to press 

down in the center until the glue is set.

 Cut/emboss Fancy Lattice Expandable Pattern from white cardstock. 

Cut/emboss Spanish collection - Seville, the largest die in green cardstock,

and the second largest in white cardstock. 

 With a Pencil/pen draw outside the bigest die, on green cardstock.

 And then cut it out.

 Now you should have all this layers.

 Glue the Fancy Lattice Expandable Pattern on the bakside of the frame, make shore that you put the Fancy Lattice backside too.

 Glue the red foil  back of the Fancy Lattice Expandable, and then the green handcuted piece. Also glue a ribbon to this piece. see how it is on the finished card.

 Matting and layering the 2 pieces of green and white cardstock together. You have 2 of this set.

 Put a nice ribbon on one of them and glue that inside the A5 base.

And the other one you glue to the front of your card.

 On the backside of your handcuted green cardstock you put some 3D foam tape.

 Cut/emboss Spanish collection - Seville, the smalest die in green cardstock and one in white cardstock.

 Cut the green in half.

 And put some 3D tape as I have done here abowe.

Married the white piece and the green pices so they sticking out just 1 mm on each side of the white cardstock, like a shadow.

 Glue the Gerber daisy to the front of the card and decorate as you wish.

Happy Creating;)
