How to make a beautiful birthday card using a small glazed tile with a stamped rose design

Rose tile card

Description

A square card has a piece of lilac card mounted on the front. On this is mounted a piece of gold card. A glazed tile with a raised rose design is mounted on this.

Materials used

Textured Ivory single fold deckle edge greetings card 144mm (5.5in) square
Rubber stamp Magenta 14.107 F Rose
Gold card
Lilac card
Mount Board
Ultimate Metallic purple inkpad
Gold inkpad
Embossing Armour
Heat tool
Deckle edge scissors

Method

Cut a square of lilac card 75mm x 75mm (2.9in). Glue this to the greetings card.

Cut a square of gold card 58mm x 58mm (2.2in) using deckle edge scissors. Glue this to the lilac card.

When you create the centre block the operations need to take place whilst the Embossing Armour is in it's molten state so have all the necessary items ready to use.

Take a square of mount board 6mm larger than your rubber stamp. Ink the board all over with Ultimate Metallic purple ink. Cover it with Embossing Armour and heat it until it melts. Re-cover with Embossing Armour whilst still hot and re-heat. Have the rubber stamp ready inked with metallic gold and stamp into the molten Embossing Armour. This leaves a 3-D image and creates a glazed tile effect.

Mount the tile on the gold card.

Product availability

We regret that we are unable to advise the reader of a source of supply for the materials used in the projects on the Card Making Inspirations web site.

The layouts and techniques used in these projects are timeless. However, products such as stamps, stickers and patterned papers are quickly discontinued to be replaced by new items. When this happens we suggest that there is a lot of satisfaction in finding an alternative product that suits the design.
