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

Family Birthday Cards

Welcome my crafty friends! Today I have a couple birthday cards I did for our grandson and my hubby.  Our grandson and hubby share their birthday - grandson was best birthday gift ever. Our grandson turned 18 and he loves to fish he has a boat and fishes when he is not working.  Hubby turned 79 and loves his John Deere tractor.   Cards are both 6" X 6" and I used a combination of dies and Cricut to make my cards. The pop up mechanism was same for both it was an old die set of Karen Burniston when she was with Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bathtub Pop Up.  Another time I would reshape the bathtub into a boat but I had already hand cut the boat then went looking for a die set that had a pop up mechanism to use kind of like putting the cart before the horse. KB Riley  1003  Word 2 Birthday, 1031 Numbers and 1049 Camping Charms  were used.  The fisherman, fish and the silhouette of boat and fisherman were cut on Cricut.  Hooked On Fishing was  cut from a top strip of design paper fro

Survivor Pink Sunflower and Berries

  Hello my crafty friends! Another Breast Cancer Survivor card that I created in October.  Once again I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflower, Acacia and Berry Branch and for this card Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame die set. My card base is 5" X 7" made from 100# white cardstock.  Embossed layer is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" white cardstock.  I used a swiss dot embossing folder (it is an old 8-1/2" X 11" embossing folder - I have used it so much it is taped together now).  This piece was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  Using the Lisette Oval Shadowbox Frame 2  largest dies I cut 1 from pink cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.   I printed sentiment on white cardstock then die cut using the next 2 dies from Lisette die set then attached to card front using dimensional tape. Susan's Garden Sunflower S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Release was cut from Susan's Specialty
