Gardenia Faceted Diamond Card


T

Hello my crafty friends!

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving we sure did.  

Today I have created a card for you that Susan Tierney-Cockburn did on her "Facebook Live" November 17th.  The video for creating card base can be found here

From Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper SCS-122 using Spellbinders Susan's Gardenia S4-1190 I cut 1 complete Gardenia and 2 next to largest petals for bud.  Several leaves were cut and colored with Copic Markers.  YouTube video for creating the Gardenia which is found here

From green cardstock I cut 3 Eucalyptus using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Foliage & Ladybug S4-1079 die set then shaded and shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit T-021.

From gold mirror card and using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs die set cut 2 of the Winter Bough.  Lay right side down on Leaf Mat and use the Leaf Tool from the Ultimate Tool Kit and draw lines down middle of branches then using Tweezers from Ultimate Tool Kit to bend branches to give  a little dimension.

The center shape where your arrangement goes can be most any shape so I chose Hexagon.  From gold mirror card I cut next to largest hexagon in my die set and pattern paper from the next size down.
Adhere the 2 together using Bearly Art Glue.  Attach to acetate in center opening of card front.

Using Kids Choice Glue build your arrangement starting with the Winter Boughs then Eucalyptus and finishing with Gardenia, bud and leaves.  Don't forget your Ladybug!

Sure hope that this has inspired you to create your own card which can be done for any occasion.

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

  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
