Birthday Peony




Good Morning Everyone,

Today's post is a birthday card for a dear friend's Mom for her 88th birthday.  Today's card is another easel card I seemed to be stuck on them at the moment.

Let's get started.

Making the card base see the tutorial here I did change the size a little to accommodate the Spellbinder dies.

(Cut your cardstock 4-1/4 X 12 score at 3", 6" and 9" and cut your front panel piece of cardstock 4-1/4 by 6)

Note: I used Close to My Heart Colonial White Cardstock and  I distress edges of all my pieces with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo

With the card base done continue as follows

1.  Using Spellbinder Gold Label Four dies cut the 4 largest dies using Colonial White cardstock.

2.  Attach largest one to the front of the card using clear double sided adhesive and then the next 3  sizes and using pop dots or mounting tape stack them on each other centering.

3.  Die cut a piece of Colonial White cardstock using the next to the smallest die and using the third smallest die and Vineyard berry cardstock cut 1 piece.

4.  Stamp sentiment on the Colonial White die cut and then attach to Vineyard berry die cut using clear double sided adhesive.

5.  Next cut and shape your peony using Susan's Garden Notes peony die and here video seen here and build on your card front.

6.  Using pop dots or mounting tape attach the sentiment to the lower 3" segment of the card as a stand up helper.

7.  Add pearls or gems to the four corners on the front and the lower two corners under the sentiment.

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
