Gladiolus Slimline Card



Hello my crafty friends,

Today I have a card for you using the fabulous new Gladiolus die from Susan Tierney-Cockburn / Spellbinders  new Summer release coming soon to the US.

My inspiration picture for one of the colors I chose for my paper gladiolus.  When I saw this picture I just had to try to recreate.


My card is a slimline card created from white cardstock 8-1/2" by 9" scored in middle at 4-1/4".  Frames were cut from black gloss cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back using Honey Bee Stamps Slimline Thin Frames.  I chose every other one starting with largest adhered to card front.

Vase was an old die cut I had laying around so traced onto gold cardstock and embossed and fussy cut.  Attached to card front using Kids Choice Glue just around very edge leaving top open putting couple pop dots in bottom center on back.

Gladiolus were created using Susan's' Garden Club Specialty Paper.   Petals for dark glad was colored with Copic R89 Dark Red and 100 Black and for second flower YG13 Chartreuse then shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Flowers were assembled using Kids Choice Glue.  Susan will have YouTube video out soon on how to create these lovely flowers. Leaves were cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Flowers then added to vase using Kids Choice Glue.  

Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock using black Momento ink cut to a rectangle the black cardstock was cut as a mat then attached to card front using dimensional tape.

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.
