Tulips in Bloom




Good Morning Everyone,

I do hope that you enjoyed your weekend.  I certainly enjoyed yesterday it was finally warm enough to go outside and try to do a few little things.  This afternoon it was up to 60 degrees yippee!  I took the  burlap off from my bushes although I had to wade through snow to get at some and I uncovered my water feature and can't wait until the weather is warm enough to get it going again. I did take a few pictures of what it is like - the garden still has at least a foot of snow still and lots of water.






Today's post I would say is simple but elegant.  As you can see in the last picture I will not be seeing my tulips in bloom for a while so I had to make some. This card is a 4" x 6" top fold card and I used Susan's Garden Notes die - tulip, ECD Shimmer Sheetz and Spellbinder Radiant Rectangles.



 

Let's get started.

1.  Cut white cardstock 4" X 12" and score at 6" - fold

2.  Using Spellbinder's Radiant Rectangles Dies (see picture)




Cut pieces from white cardstock




3.   Using the oval die and metal adapter plate cut an oval from Shimmer Sheetz and leaving oval in die emboss using the proper sandwich for your machine.

4.   Attach the largest die cut to the front of the card using clear double sided adhesive.

5.   add foam mounting tape to the frame piece (I had to trim it down to fit) line up on your card (don't stick down yet) add adhesive to the back of the smallest die cut and fit it into the center of frame and adhere in place.

6.   Add adhesive to back of the Shimmer Sheetz oval and place in the center of the oval on the die cut.

7.   Adhere the frame in place over the oval piece.

8.   Die cut, shade and shape 3 tulips using Susan's great video seen here ( I used the  light green Pan Pastels to shade my tulips)

9.   Build your tulips onto the Shimmer Sheetz oval.

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
