Red & White Slimline Amaryllis




Hello my crafty friends,

Today I have another slimline Christmas card for you.  I am loving the slimline cards just something different.  Today I have adorned my card with the Amaryllis from the Holiday Flora Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.

Card base is 4" X 9" white 100# cardstock.
Pattern paper was cut 3-3/4" X 8-3/4" attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  

Frame was cut from white cardstock using some Long Cross Hatch Rectangle Dies outer measurement is 3-3/8" X 8-3/8" inside opening is 2-3/4" X 7-3/4" adhered to card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Inner rectangle measures 1-3/8" X 6-3/8" cut from white cardstock and adhered to card front.

Amaryllis flowers were cut from Susan's Specialty Paper and colored with Copic Marker then shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Leaves were cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Susan has a YouTube video on how to create the Amaryllis which can be found here.  Amaryllis was built on card using Kids Choice Glue.  A small piece of  
Spanish moss was added to base of flowers.

I do hope that you have enjoyed this short tutorial and it has inspired you to go create.

So glad that the Holiday Flora Release is now available in the USA.  I have linked all the dies in this release below just click on any one of them and it will take you directly to the site.  You will pay no extra for the dies but it will help me earn a small commission to help defray my costs.  Thanking you in advance for any purchase you make no matter how much or how little it all adds up.

Thanks for stopping by today and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Christine

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

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.
