Hello Crafters,

In issue 18 of Chloe's Creative Cards Collection box kit, Chloe created a beautiful stamp-along project featuring pretty flowers and butterflies. You will have noticed, however, that within the magazine, you don't receive the full instructions on how to create the card. This is because we wanted to share this bonus project with you as a Stamp-Along. To create this sweet birthday card, you will need the kit content from the new Chloe's Creative Cards Collection Issue 18, along with a selection of other materials, detailed below and in the FREE downloadable PDF project sheet. You will be stamping, colouring, heat-embossing, and glittering to your heart's content within this Stamp-along, so you're bound to have lots of fun re-creating the look!

Here's a larger shot of the card that we're going to be recreating - look at all the great techniques you'll be using! 

Chloe has created full step-by-step instructions and a material list for you to follow along, but to make it even easier, we've also created a downloadable, printable version you can go back to time and time again. This digital PDF even has all the products linked to our website, so if there's anything you need to buy, you can simply click on the product, and it will take you through to the relevant product page on our website. Please note, items that aren't available on our website will have no links. You can also substitute certain items if you don't have them in your craft stash.

Instructions:

1 Cut away half of the front of each card blank and adhere the back panels together to create a gatefold card. 

2 Create two panels of pink mirror card and affix to the front of the card using dries-clear glue. Create two panels of white card and two panels of patterned paper for the front of the card. Edge all panels with a chisel-tip glue pen and cover in Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter. Matt and layer one of each together and then affix to the card using foam pads. 

3 Create two panels of white card and stamp out the flower border onto both using a grey inkpad. Heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. 

4 Colour in all the images on all panels using alcohol markers. 

5 Embellish the coloured panels using Grasshopper, Pink Perfection and Fiesta Sparkelicious glitters. 

6 Edge the panels with Crystallina Sparkelicious glitter and affix to the card using foam pads. 

7 Stamp out the wreath twice onto white card using a grey inkpad and heat-emboss using Clear Gloss embossing powder. Colour in and glitter, as before. Die-cut a pierced circle around one of the wreaths, then stamp out a sentiment in the centre using grey ink. 

8 Carefully cut the butterflies from the second image and layer onto the first using foam pads. Matt onto a pink mirror card scalloped circle using foam pads and then affix to one side of the card using foam pads, so that the card can still open. 

9 Die-cut four filagree butterflies from pink mirror card. Matt and layer, then affix to the card using 3D glue gel. Add a few self-adhesive sparkles to the body of the butterflies. Add three self-adhesive sparkles to the remaining corners. Finally, trim a sheet of patterned paper to 7¾” square and glue in place inside the card.
