Welcome my crafty friends, My post today is a pop up card I created for my a dear rug hooking friend that is having knee surgery. Most of my posts are mostly Susan's Garden Club paper flowers which is my first love but right up there is Karen Burniston's interactive cards.  Today I have used Karen's Bitty Pop Up Ball to create a sheep.  I can tell you these pop up balls are addicting I feel you can really get your money's worth from these dies as there are endless things to create with them. Karen always does assembly videos for creating each of her dies which are very easy to follow. My card today is 5" square cut from white cardstock .  The pattern paper is one I bought years ago in a little scrapbooking shop. For the inside I cut 4-3/4" X 9-1/2" scored in middle.  It was attached using clear double sided adhesive.  I was very careful to adhere 1 side at a time being sure to get the crease exactly in the crease of card base.  For front and back of card

Welcome Crafty Friends!    Today I have a quick card for you using Susan's Garden Club Spring Flora Peony.  Today I have chosen a single peony and Spellbinders Brillant Rondelle for my round card. Card base is 4-1/2" round card from my stash (I believe it was from Close to My Heart many years ago).  The frame was cut from black cardstock using Spellbinders Brillante Rondelle die set.  Bearly Art Glue was used to adhere frame to card front. Single Peony and 2 buds were cut from Susan's Garden Specialty paper and colored with Copic markers R01 & R02.  The leaves were cut from green cardstock.  All were shaped using Susan's Garden Club Deluxe Tool Kit (it is fabulous to shape flowers).  Susan has a YouTube video for creating the Peony - single and double which you can find here. Kids Choice glue was used to build flowers and add leaves to card front. Ladybug was cut from Susan's Specialty Paper using Susan's Garden Club Autumn Flora Foliage & Ladybug set,
