Concertina Pop Up with Daisies and Dandelions




Hello my crafty friends!

Have been real busy in my yard so haven't been doing much paper garden but I have finally finished a couple of things.

Today I have for you a Concertina Pop Up Card Susan did on her Facebook Live  a few weeks ago.  I haves used the following dies from Spellbinders / Susan's Garden S3-406 Kerria Japonica from Spring Flora,  S3-406 Button and Daisy Mum from Autumn Flora and Spellbinders S5-525 Essential Diamonds embossed with  EF3D-049 Twill Weave 3D Embossing Folder by Creative Expressions.
The Paper I have used is P13 Hello Summer 03.The paper has daisies and dandelions on it so I have used the Kerria Japonica for the dandelions and the mum die for the daisies along with wool roving for the spent dandelions.


Finished card is 5" X 7"


Card base video here

Diamond shape was cut from green cardstock then next size down cut from white cardstock and embossed then adhered to the green diamond.  Using dimensional tape Diamond was attached to card front.

The seed heads of the dandelions were created using a tiny ball I painted white (I used a little ball from a Dollar Tree Pool game.  I used ball to keep from it flattening down too much) and put some black dots on it rolled in glue then wrapped a small piece of wool roving.

Video for creating the Kerria Japonica (Dandelion on this card) can be found here.  

For the Daisies I used the largest die from the Button & Daisy Mum set cutting it 3 times from white cardstock.  Video for Mum can be found here to show shaping.  After adding the tiny yellow flowers in center I dabbed on glue and sprinkled with yellow Pollen.

Kids Choice Glue was used to build flowers and add arrangement to card front.

I hope you have enjoyed my card and you will make your own card.

Thanks for stopping by and 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

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
