Double Z Fold Hibiscus Survivor #5

 







Hello my crafty friends.

This post is of another Breast Cancer Survivor card it is #5 and I have 1 more to post.  It is hard to believe how many people I know that have been affected by this terrible disease.

This card is another Double Z Fold card which is really easy and fun to do and I have adorned it with Susan's Garden Club Hibiscus along with Winter Boughs & Evergreen Shrubs.  Becca Feekins Elegant Twist Rectangles was also used.  Susan did this card on one of here Lives on Susan's Garden Club you can find it here.

Here are your paper cuts and score lines for card base and layers for my card.

White cardstock -  (1) 6" X (" scored at 3" and 6"

                              (1) 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3: & 6"

                              (2) 2" X 3-1/4"

Patterned Paper -  (1) 5-3/4" square

                             (2) 2-3/4" X 5-3/4"

                             (2-3/4" X 4-1/4"


Card base was assembled using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Any sentiments should be stamped before assembling. ( My Sentiment was from stamp set I got several years ago from Ellen Hutson - Essentials by Ellen Courage Stamp & Die Set.  Part of the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.)

My paper is Park Lane - Wild Summer

Susan's Garden Hibiscus was cut 3 times from Susan's garden Specialty Paper colored centers using Copic markers.  Leaves, Sage branches were cut from green cardstock and shaded with ink.  The branch was cut from Susan's Specialty Paper then colored using Copic markers.  All were Shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube video for Hibiscus which you can find here.

Kids Choice Glue was used to add branch, foliage, ladybug and flowers to card front.

I do hope that this has been an inspiration for you to go make a card - maybe you have someone you know that is a survivor and a card could brighten their day.  I get great pleasure from sending these cards to someone that has been through so much.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Below I have many of the products I used to create this card if you click on picture it will take you to site where you can purchase at no extra cost to you but I do get a small commission which helps cover my costs.  Thank you if you make a purchase no matter how large or small but there is not any obligation to do so.

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. 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
