Hello from a very cold Maine

Cold in Maine 4 03112015

Today I am doing my very first post on my new blog so please be patient with me. I have created a card using Susan Tierney Cockburn's new Garden Notes - Rose 2 (998) die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the Karen Burniston's Katie Label Accordion (903) die also from Elizabeth Craft Designs I do hope you enjoy it.

1.  The card is a white A2 inked all edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

2.  Using the main die from Katie Label Accordion die cut one from red cardstock and trim off all tabs leaving just the frame and ink edges.  Taking the label that was cut from the frame  trim off excess and ink edges.

. 3. Take the largest individual label die and cut from white cardstock and ink edges.

4. Attach the white label on top of the red label using ECD's clear double sided adhesive  then attach the labels to the front of the card using same adhesive.

5.  Next using the Susan's Garden Notes - Rose 2 die cut and shape your rose .  Next build your rose in  the center of the white label.   Susan has some great You Tube videos for making all her flowers on Elizabeth Craft designs You Tube channel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF2zwWbtaVY

6.  Add foam pop dots to the back of the frame.

7.  Add string of pearls to the front of the card using a clear quick dry glue.  Attach frame to front of card.

8.  Cut the small oval in white and ink edges.  Cut the 2 small decorative pcs in red cardstock and attach to oval then attach oval to bottom of frame (this is where my string of pearls came together) using a clear glue. Add a red pearl to center.

9.  For the inside of the card stamp your sentiment (Susan's Cherish stamp used here) cut small heart in red and attach to lower right corner.  Add pearl to center.

I do hope this inspires you to try to make your own card using colors of your choice.  This is just another way to use the accordion dies with just a little adaption.

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

  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
