Dogwood






 Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a card for you that I created using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Dogwood from her new collection Garden Favorites along with Spellbinders Layered Stich Background.

Card base is 5 X 7 colored cardstock cut 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" embossed using swiss dot then lightly sanded (if you have white core cardstock).  Panel was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  This is another card that could go either direction.

Using Spellbinders Layered Stitched Background cut 2 of the open die 1 from colored 1 from white then 1 white from solid die.  Attach the colored layer onto white solid then add white open on top of colored.  Attach as many of the colored cutouts as you wish in corresponding openings.  Bearly Art Glue was used for all this.  Using Clear Double Sided Adhesive attach to center of card front.

Diamond strips were cut from cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back 2 from white 2 from colored cardstock.  White strips were attached to colored strips offsetting just a little.  Attach strips to each end evenly.

Using the new Dogwood die from Susan's Garden Favorites cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper colored then shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Kids Choice Glue. Susan has a YouTube video for creating the dogwood it can be found here.  Flowers were arranged on card front and attached using Kids Choice Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today I sure hope it has been inspirational.  Links for products used can be found below clicking on any of them will take you to the sight where you can purchase.

Until next time - Happy Crafting!

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.
