Mothers Day 3D Envelope Easel Card

 




Hello my crafty friends!

Wow Spring has finally come to Central Maine so I have been very busy with outside work like splitting hostas then planting them, mulching, getting out planters & my 50+ galvanized watering cans etc.  Hope your Spring is going well!

Today I have done some paper gardening I have done another 3D Envelope Easel Card as a friend requested I make one to give to her Mother-In-Law.  For this card I have used Spellbinders / Susan's Garden Camilla S4-1233 and Lemon Verbena S4-1278 Victorian Foliage from the Victorian Garden Collection, Forget Me Not S2-340 and Bee Blossom S3-445 from Garden Gate Collection, Berry Branch from S4-1079 Foliage & Ladybug Autumn Flora Collection, Winter Bough from S4-1114 Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs Holiday Collection anf Ladder Fern from Ferns & Ivy Spring flora Collection.  Paper is Carta Bella Gather at Home and the stamp set is CTMH C1605 Happy to be Friends.

The envelope card base was one Susan Tierney-Cockburn did on her Facebook Live Susan's Garden Club the link to that is here  On the back of the easel I had cut 1 Spellbinders S4-137 Classic Scallop Heart from yellow cardstock and then 1  S4-136 Classic Heart 1 size smaller then stamped with sentiment before attaching with Clear Double Sided Tape.

Once card base was completed I added my foliage and flowers.  I first add a strip of dimensional tape just below what would be the top flap I added my Lemon Verbena (3) next I added another strip of dimensional tape on top of the first piece added Ladder Fern (3), Winter Bough (2) and Forget Me Nots (2) then added third strip of dimensional tape and 3 more Forget Me Not Stems.  3 Berry Branches were prepared (I used the Styrofoam balls for berries) 2 full ones added then third one was cut apart and added in.  Bee Blossom (1 stem) add and then the Camilla with 2 buds added.  Lastly the various leaves were added.

Below you will find links to how to videos for all flowers and foliage

Berry Branch - sorry couldn't find video but I just cut branches from green cardstock shaded with green ink.  I lay on molding mat and using med ball stylus I made small indent wherever I was going to put berries.  I then added my white Styrofoam balls for berries and used a very fine black ink pen to add black dot to each berry.

Thank you for stopping by today I sure hope that I have inspired you today to make your own 3d envelope easel card they are quite easy and fun to do.

Until next time - Happy Paper Gardening!

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
