Survivor #3




Welcome My Crafty Friends so glad you stopped by today!

Today I have my 3rd Survivor card in honor of a breast cancer survivor. My card is a Z Fold card with Daisy Mums, Nandina an a bit of Lady's Thumb.

Card base is a 6" Z Fold Card created using white cardstock cut 6" X 12" scored at 3" and 6" mountain fold at 3" score valley fold at 6". Cut band at 2" X 12" scored same as card base. Pattern paper was cut as follows 2 pieces 2-3/4" X 5-3/4" square, 1 piece cut 5-3/4" and 1 piece 1-3/4" X 12. Pattern pieces were adhered to their respective card base areas using clear double sided adhesive. Note: when adhering pattern paper to band keep in mind that the folds will be opposite from card ie 6" mountain fold and 3" valley fold. 6" section of band was adhered to left side of 3" section of card base using red line tape. then 3" section of band was adhered to right side of card the same way. Susan did this card on her Facebook Live which you can find here.

From white card stock using the largest and smallest dies from Picot Petite Circle set cut 1 each. The largest Circle was adhered to front 3" panel only adding adhesive to left side of circle. Second circle goes inside with sentiment which was stamped in black then adhered using clear double sided adhesive.

3 Daisy Mums were created from white cardstock (centers and leaves I used colored cardstock) colored with Copics marker RV52. They were shaped then built. Susan has a video on YouTube which can be found here.

Nandina from Autumn Flora Foliage & Ladybug set was cut from white cardstock and Distress Inks were sponged on to color then shaped. Susan has YouTube on this which you can find here. Berry branch was cut from brown cardstock then shaded and added green berries using Nuvo Crystal Drops (these need to be set aside to dry).

Arrangement was added to circle using Kids Choice Glue.

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
