Rose & Spirea on Double Z Fold


 


Hello My Crafty Friends!

Today I have a Double Z Fold card (this card is such a fun card to create) I created and used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Floribunda Rose (new release through the Garden Gate S5-507) Spirea ( S4-1084 Spring Flora) and Eucalyptus (S4-1079 Autumn Flora Foliage & Ladybug) to embellish it.

Double Z Fold base 

White cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 3" & 6" Fold on score lines ( 3" mountain fold 6" valley fold)

White cardstock cut 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3" & 6" (same mountain fold & valley fold)

1st Layer Measurements 

Green Cardstock

1 pc 5-3/4" square

2 pc 2-3/4" X 5-3/4"

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

2nd Layer Measurements

Patterned Paper (Park Lane - Southern Charm)

1 pc 5-1/2" square

2 pc 2-1/2" X 5-1/2"

3 pc 2-1/2" X 4"

3rd Layer Measurements

White cardstock Optional - sentiment and a place to write personal message

2 pc 2-1/4" X 3-3/4" 

Clear Double Sided Adhesive was used to attach all layers.  If doing Sentiment and personal note pieces then add that before adhering those pieces.

Susan has a tutorial on her Garden Club Facebook page which you can find here.

Susan's Garden Specialty Paper was used for all flowers and foliage colored with Copic Markers and shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube Videos for creating all of these.  She also has done a Facebook "Live" on the Floribunda Rose with some extra tips from Selma Stevenson you can find that here.

For the rose and buds I colored with Copic markers R22 & R24 Leaves I forgot to write down colors I used.  For the Eucalyptus I use Copic BG96 and then used white PanPastels lightly over it.

Before adhering everything down I tried it several different ways taking pictures of all it really helps.  I look back through the pictures and decide which layout of flowers and foliage is most pleasing to my eye then using Kids Choice Glue I attach everything.


Thanks for stopping by today I sure hope I have given you some inspiration to create your own card.

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
