Hello my crafty friends welcome to my blog.

Once again it is challenge time for Elizabeth Craft Designs Design Team.  This month our challenge is to create a Christmas card using flowers and or foliage.  My card today uses Susan's Garden Notes Small Poinsettia,  newly released Hawthorne Berries and Pine Boughs along with new Garden Notes Cornucopia.



Be sure to visit Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to see what all the other design team members have created and enter for a chance to win  $20.00 gift card.  The question for this month is - Which Elizabeth Craft Designs flower or foliage die or stamp set would you chose to create a Christmas card or decoration.

 

Here is how my card was created.

Step 1  Cut 2-3 Garden Notes Hawthorne Berries from either green cardstock or white Soft Finish Cardstock.  If cut in green cardstock shade using Distress Ink if cut in white color with alcohol markers (green cardstock used here).  Susan has a tutorial found here Using  red Nuvo Crystal Drops (Autumn Red used here) add berries to branch set aside to dry then add berries to back side and let dry.

Step 2  Cut 2 Garden Notes Cornucopia from light brown cardstock that has Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back.  Adhere one on top of the other then shade with Distress Ink.  Lay right side down on molding mat using large ball tool rub all over back giving shape.

Step 3  Form 5" X 7" card base.  Cut patterned paper 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhere to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step 4  Add pop dots down center of Cornucopia adhere to card front.

Step 5  Arrange Garden Notes Hawthorne Berries in Cornucopia adhere using Kids Choice Glue.

Step 6  Create 3 white Garden Notes Poinsettia - Small.  Using Kids Choice Glue to attach to arrangement.

Step 7  Cut a few Garden Notes Pine Boughs from green cardstock shade, pinch up needles add to arrangement.

Step 8  Cut Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words - Season's Greetings twice - 1 from black cardstock and 1 from gold both with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back.  Add black to top of card front then adhere gold on top offsetting just a little to give it a shadow.

I do hope you have enjoyed this tutorial today and don't forget to go to Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to see what all the other design team members have created and to answer question for a chance to win.

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
