Happy Hydrangea






Happy Spring Everyone!

Today I am posting an easel card featuring Susan's Garden Notes Hydrangea.


1.  Cut cardstock to 4-1/4 x 12 then score at 3, 6 and 9 fold.  The cardstock I used for the card is  "Outdoor Denim" but my sample here is white so that you can read the dimensions.  Note:  I inked edges of all pcs with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.




2.   Cut 1 pc of cardstock 4-1/4 X 6-1/4

3.    Using dies of your choice ( I used Spellbinder "Radiant Rectangle dies for this card) cut 3 different sizes to fit the above pc of cardstock.  I used "White Daisy" for the largest and smallest rectangles and  "Olive" for the middle rectangle.

4.  Layer the rectangles onto the 4-1/4 x 6-1/4 cardstock.  I popped the middle and smallest ones with foam tape.

5.  Next cut, shape and build the Hydrangea onto the center following Susan's great video  found here



6.  Using Elizabeth Craft Designs clear double sided adhesive on the 1st 3" section of the card attach  the lower half of your completed card front to this section.

7.  Die cut an oval and add your sentiment (I used a CTMH stamp set "Thank You" and using pop dots / dimensional tape attach the oval to hold the front of the card when open.


This is a fun and easy card to make and can be changed up just by using different dies, colors, flowers and sentiments.

I do hope you will try this card.

Happy crafting!

Good Morning Everyone!  Sorry it has been so long since I have posted but I have been busy getting ready to go to Creative Keepsake Convention and then going to convention. I had a great time taking classes, shopping, eating and enjoying great friends. My post today is using one of Susan's Garden new dies and one of Karen Burniston's pop up dies.  It was hard to get a good clear picture because of the shine from the glitter. Card base is an A2 size card (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) 1.  Panel is made by using Karen Burniston's accordion rectangle die.  Attach a piece of sticker paper  4-1/2 X 5-3/4 to a pc of white cardstock the same size using clear double sided adhesive. Cut 1 frame from this.  Cut the rectangle and tabs from center of frame and the long tab on the left edge of the frame. Run this frame through Sizzix machine using Hearts Entwined embossing folder (or other embossing folder of your choice)  Peel the paper from the front of the frame ( protective paper covering adhesive

A Breath of Spring

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed window in top of li

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes.
