Pink Sunflower & Bee Blossom Survivor Card

 


Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have another survivor card that I have created for you.  It is a simple 6" X 6" tent fold card with pink Sunflower and white Bee Blossom.  I love to do these cards each year just to let let someone know that there battle wasn't forgotten just because they survived.   NOW GO GET THOSE MAMMOGRAMS!!!

White 100# cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 6" fold on score line to create card base.

Pink cardstock was cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

White cardstock cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" cut then spritzed with water placed in 3D embossing folder (E3D-033  Beveled 3D Embossing Folder by Spellbinders used here) and run through machine.  Clear Double Sided Adhesive was used to attach to card front.

Spellbinders S5-525 Essential Diamond Dies from the Glimmer Greetings Collection was used for the sentiment and it's mat using the appropriate sizes for your sentiment.  Sentiment used on my card is from Ellen's Essentials Ellen Hutson Courage Stamp & Die Set which was a fundraiser for breast cancer research a few years ago.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflower S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Collection was used to create 1 Sunflower cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and colored using a couple of shades of pink / red Copic markers then shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video which can be found here

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Bee Blossom S3-445 from Garden Gate Collection was used for other flower.  From Susan's Specialty Paper I cut six flowers (enough for 2 stems) were cut, shaded and shaped.  Stems were cut 4 times from green cardstock as well as the leaves.  2 stems were adhered together with Bearly Art Glue to make a sturdier stem then shaded. Susan has a YouTube video for creating these which can be found here.

 Spellbinders Susan's Garden Eucalyptus S4-1079 Autumn Flora Release was cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Susan's YouTube video can be found here

Flowers were added to card front using Kids Choice Glue.

Thanks for stopping by today and sure hope that I have inspired you to make a card for someone you know that is a Survivor of this awful disease.  I love doing it it really makes me feel good inside and hope that it makes the recipient feel good as well.  Please Please get those mammograms!

Thanks for stopping by today 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

  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
