Woodland Wreath with Poinsettia & Pine Cone


Hello my crafty friends, welcome to my blog!

Today my Christmas card was created using the brand new  Susan's Garden Club Woodland Wreath along with Poinsettia, Pinecone, Pine Boughs, Winter Boughs & Evergreen Shrubs and added a bit of snow.

For my card today I used a tan colored cardstock to create a 6" X 6" card base (mine is tent fold so whatever your preference is).  Dark brown cardstock was used for mat layer cut 5-3/4" square adhered to card front using Clear Double sided Adhesive.  Patterned paper was cut 5-1/2" square and adhered in same manner.  Patterned paper was purchased years ago in a little scrapbook store that is not longer there.  I loved this paper and have saved all this time and decided it was time to use it.

For the wreath two different brown cardstocks were used to cut 4 Woodland Wreaths used some brown ink to add shade.  I did some pinching up on each of them to give them dimension.  Using Kids Choice Glue to attach to card front I alternated the colors as I stacked the wreaths turning a quarter of turn with each layer.

Winter Boughs were cut (2) from Susan's Specialty Paper then colored with a dark red and brown alcohol marker used ball tool from Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit to give them a little dimension by rubbing on back side. Using Kids Choice Glue attached a couple to left upper half of wreath offsetting a little.

 Evergreen Shrubs were cut from Susan's Specialty Cardstock then colored with alcohol markers.  Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape.  Attach one on top and one on bottom.  Pine Cone and Pine Bough  set was used I cut Pine Cone from brown cardstock and the Boughs from green cardstock.  They were shaped and shaded then added to wreath.  Poinsettia was cut (1) from green card stock and the other 2 from Susan's Specialty Cardstock colored then shaped then colored with alcohol markers then shaped and added to wreath adding extra leaves as desired.  Susan has done YouTube videos that are very helpful.

Small amount of snow was added to card.  You can add as much or as little as you want.

I am hoping my card has been an inspiration to you and you will create your own Woodland Wreath 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
