Trilliums



Welcome my crafty friends!

Wow it has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog but things have calmed down and I am very excited to say Susan Tierney-Cockburn with Spellbinders  has a brand new release  called Garden Favorites.

Today is my first creation with the new release and I have chosen the Trillium.  I have linked all of the new dies below.

The card is a basic 6" X 6" created from 110#  white cardstock layered with 5-3/4" square of green cardstock adhered using clear double sided adhesive. 

5-1/2" cardstock was embossed with an old embossing folder from my stash - it was attached to card front using clear double sided adhesive.

3 Susan's Garden Trilliums were created 2 white and 1 dark red (here in Maine these are called Stinking Benjamins because of their smell).  Susan has a YouTube video for creating these which can be found here. Couple ferns were created from green cardstock shaded and shaped Susan has a video found here for creating them.

Ferns were attached to upper left corner of card front using Kids Choice Glue then add Trilliums and leaves.  Ladybug was added last.

Quote was from the new Garden Favorite Quotes Stamps.  Stamped in black on white cardstock then die cut with square nested die and scallop backing was die cut 2 pieces adhered together then dimensional tape was used to attach to lower right of card front.

I do hope that this has been inspirational and you create your own 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
