ID: MC Aug/18 - Vignette Piano Card - ECD Remember - Moments of Silence - HB card
size: 6.25"w x 5.25"H (card flat)

Created: August 17, 2018
Modified:

I used to make a lot of 3D artwork, but I've gotten to a point that I have absolutely no more room for them, so I have stopped making them... but I do love a lot of the things Suzanne is coming out with... so I've altered this Silhouette file to create this card that lays flat for mailing. BIG GRIN.

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Remember" from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

And I'm using a quote stamp from Quietfire Design ("Moments of Silence...")

Also using sentiment from a clear stamp set from Suzanne "Birthday Collection" 8 pce set also available on Elizabeth Craft Designs HERE

 And I'm using a Silhouette file from Suzanne Cannon available on Silhouette onLine store. Click image to purchase.

I opened the Silhouette file in my Sure Cuts A Lot software (SCAL). Ungrouped the main card structure and shortened the vertical line openings - shorter than the projections from the inner layers by about 1/8" on either end. Moved the structure so the top fold of the box was off the mat (not needed...). Cut everything from white cardstock (12 x 12)

Cut some very small slits in the inside 2 layers on the tabs so they will insert into the lines of the card structure and not fall out when handled... Also cut off the bottom flap of the box.

Burnished all the folds. Repeatedly stamped the "Happy Birthday", off setting it every other line, using Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed.

The keyboard layer: Kept it on my mat so it would stay in the same configuration for gluing... Removed the layer that will be black, inked them and embossed with Black embossing powder. Adhered to panel.

Inked the white pieces first by placing a piece of double sided removable tape on my mat and placing each piano key on the tape right next to each other - no gaps. Inked with Versamark, removed the whole line of tape sprinkled with the Pearlescent embossing powder, placed the tape back on my mat and heat set. Adhered to piano layer.

  

Inked the treble clef with Versafine Toffee and embossed with Queen's Gold embossing powder. Adhered to treble layer.

Assembled the layers, making sure notches were in place. Adhered the back tab to the back to close the box shape.

On the front: Die cut the "Remember", inked with black and embossed with Emerald Creek "Onyx Frost" embossing powder. Adhered to left side.

Stamped the quote using the black and clear embossing on the front drop out piece. Cut between the lines and mimicked the card shape. Outlined with a Krylon gold leafing pen. adhered to card front.

Adhered some small black rhinestones around the edge.
