Happy Gerber Daisies


Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have another card using dies from Spellbinders/ Susan's Garden latest release Painter's Garden.  I have chosen to use the Gerber Daisy from this new release and have put them on a slimline card.

Card base is 4" X 9" white 110# cardstock.  From dark peach cardstock a mat was cut 8-3/4" X 3-3/4" adhered to card front.  Second mat was cut from lighter peach cardstock using Spellbinders S6-186 Fluted Classic Slimline die set using 2 largest dies attach to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  White layer is designer cardstock cut using 2 next to the 2 largest dies adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

From Susan's Garden Specialty Paper SCS-122   3 Gerber Daisies S5-531 were cut then colored with alcohol markers (OLO Markers were used here O2.2 & OR2.3 for the lighter daisies and OR2.3 & O1.3 for the darker one plus YG8.5 & YG8.7 for the leaves).  Once colored they were shaped using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit T021.  Susan has a YouTube Video showing how to create the Gerber Daisy which can be found here. Using Kids Choice Glue attach flowers and leaves to card front.

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope you have been inspired to create and will go make a card.

 Until next time - Happy Creating!

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

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes.

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
