Smiling Sunflowers


Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have another sunflower card for you.  I don't know about you but I love sunflowers they are such a happy flower and they always make me smile.

Card is a 5" X 7" cut from a tan cardstock.

Pattern paper (tan and red check) was cut 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Watercolor paper was cut 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" Pink Fresh Fern Stencil was used along with Texture Paste tinted green to create ferns then set aside to dry.  Once dry attach to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Susan's Specialty Paper was used to cut 4 Sunflowers from her new release Garden Favorites.  Flowers were colored using Copic markers and leaves were cut from green cardstock.  Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape flowers and leaves.  Susan has a YouTube video on creating the Sunflowers which can be found here.

Using Kids Choice Glue I built my bouquet on the card front.

Sentiment was stamped in black onto tan cardstock.  Sentiment is from Susan's new release Garden Favorites then matted with matching dark red mat.  Dimensional tape was adhered to back then adhered to card front.

I do hope that this card has been inspirational and you will go create a card.

Thanks for stopping by and 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

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.
