A Project in Progress

I have a "little" project that I started working on last night...

I am 3/4 of the way done...

and thought that I'd share it with you, here.

I am making 5 dozen+ of....

these!

65 to be exact!

C'mon...

I'll take you on a tour of the production line...

After I created a few prototypes

that existed only in the scary wacky place that is my mind...(haha)

I cut and prepped everything

One step at a time...

Base cards....cut...scored..folded and stamped with my info...on the back)

Print layer...cut

Vellum layer.....cut...stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with fine detail Gold EP

First...

I attached all of the print pieces to each card

Then...

I used mini glue dots to secure the velum layer to the print...

one mini dot in each corner ...

in a spot where it won't be seen...when the glitter tape is secured at the top of the card

This is what the vellum looks like when secured with the glue dots..

You can barely see them ...even without them being covered by the glitter tape..

Making progress....
(I just love gold het embossing)

Next up....

attaching the glitter tape...

The tape will vary from card to card...

in 3 different purple tones....

a dark purple...a medium ..and a light purple...

and in the end...

They'll look like this...

up close and personal...
I love the swiss dots showing through the vellum

shhhhhh....

I can't say a lot about this project...

because I don't want the person that will be receiving them to know about them

but I did want to share some pics...

and here's what happens when you drop the cover of the MISTI onto your work by accident...

You get this surprise when you turn on the heat gun

You know...IF I wanted to get that nice extra line on the script...

I'd never be able to do it...

I actually kinda like it...

Hello stamp manufacturers?

Can you please make a few large font stamp sets with this type of detail?

Thank You!

Left = the MISTI mishap

Right = how the "good ones" look......65 total 

and that's what I am working on today...

Everything is ready to roll..

I just have to attach all of the glitter tape to the top edge of each card

and then all 65 cards will be complete...

and ready for the recipient!

(I am excited to give them to the mystery person!!)

Card making friends....the stamp sets used when creating this card are both from The Ton
