A Breath of Spring







Hello Everyone,

The weather here in Maine is finally changing the snow is gone, the weather is warming up and the spring flowers are beginning to bloom.

Today my post is using one of Susan's Garden  new dies which will be available soon from Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I have used the Hyacinth die and the Elizabeth Craft Designs Tags & More 3 - Leaves die set.



Let's get started

1.  Using the Tags & More 3 - Leaves die set and a piece of black cardstock and a piece of  pink cardstock  3-1/4  X 6-1/2 cut the top of your tag and the base tag see video here .  Cut the corner pieces and the diamond piece from pink cardstock.  Ink all edges (I used Distress Ink - vintage photo).  Attach the 2 corner pieces to the bottom corners and the diamond shape at the top lining up the hole.

2.  Using 3 pieces of white cardstock and Pan Pastels Permanent Red Tint, Violet and Violet Tint take a sponge and color each piece of white cardstock with one color of the Pan Pastels.  (I actually colored both sides of the cardstock and of course if you do not have Pan Pastels you can use colored cardstock).  Cut petals from each color 2-3 times.    Put the little flowers on the mini molding pad and shape using the medium ball tool from Susan's Garden 4 pc tool kit. Cut the stem and leave from green cardstock place on leaf mat (coming soon at Elizabeth Craft Designs) and shape them using the leaf tool from the tool kit. I cut the stem twice shaped the top one and glued the 2 together to make it a little more dimensional.  Using the Bright Yellow green Pan Pastels add a little shading to the leaves.  I did cut the big leaf off from 1 of them and I reversed the direction of one of them so they would fit.  Attach stems to tag and then build your flowers on the stems.  Attach the large leaf that you cut off and a couple of other leaves.

3.  Attach small black pearls in the middle of each leaf cutout at the top and a little larger one in the middle of each corner.

4.  Add a pc of ribbon to the hole at the top of the tag.

I do hope that you will visit  Elizabeth Craft Designs website and see all the new items that are coming soon Susan's Garden alone has 13 new die sets.

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
