Kerria Japonica Blues


Welcome My Fellow Paper Gardeners,

Today I have created a slimline card using Susan's Garden Club / Spellbinders new Spring Flora release Kerria Japonica, Ferns & Ivy as well as the Fall release Foliage & ladybug.

Card base is 4-1/4" X 9-1/4" patterned paper cut 4" X 9" adhered to card front using clear double sided adhesive.  Frames were created by using different size slim rectangle dies together to cut card stock.  Frames adhered to card front us Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue.

Several Kerria Japonica were cut from Susan's Garden Club Specialty Cardstock then colored with Copic Markers.  Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape flowers and leaves.  For creating these sweet happy flowers you can watch Susan's YouTube found here.

From Susan's Spring Flora Release I also used Ferns & Ivy set choosing the Maiden Hair Fern and Ivy which were both cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  You can watch Susan's YouTube found here.

Old Coffee pot was used for container.  It was created first by cutting shape from Cricut it wasn't exactly as I wanted so I traced around outside onto heavy white cardstock then fussy cut reshaping to my liking then colored with Copic Markers.  It was given some dimension by bending with fingers.  Used clear embossing powder to give an enamel shine.  Adhered to bottom of frame using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Flowers, ferns, ivy and leaves were added using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

Spellbinders Die Delites Sentiments One Etched Die set was used for Happy Birthday which was cut twice from cardstock with clear double sided adhesive on the back 1 black one white.  Black was adhered to card front first then white was adhered over black offsetting just enough to give it a shadow.

Thanks for stopping by today I hope it has been inspiring and you will create your own card.

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
