Happy Birthday Gardenia


Welcome my crafty friends!

Today I have a card for you that I have used 2 flowers from Susan's Garden Club from Spellbinders newest release Through the Garden Gate.  I have used the Gardenia and the Bee Blossom (Gaura).  I also die the Heat Embossed background.

My card for you today is a 6" X 6" tent fold card.

Patterned paper was cut 5-3/4" square attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Spellbinders Candlewick Circles  largest 2 dies were used to cut  1white circle then a pink one was cut using just the largest die which is then attached to back of white circle using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

For the Heat Embossed piece that I used on circle I followed Marion Emberson's YouTube Tutorial found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNKc4jzXo3Y  Piece was attached to circle using Bearly Art Glue.

Using Spellbinders Susan Garden Specialty Paper along with 2 die sets from her brand new release Bee Blossom and Gardenia flowers were cut then colored with Copic marker and shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit..  Susan will have tutorial videos on YouTube very shortly.

Kids Choice Glue was used to add flowers to card front starting with Gardenia.

Happy Birthday (Garden Favorites Stamp Set) was stamped on white cardstock using black ink then matted with black cardstock then adhered with dimensional tape. 

I do hope I have given you inspiration today - thank you for stopping by today!

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. Susan's Garden Sunflower S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Release was cut from Susan's Specialty
