Ornamental Kale & Autumn Hydrangea

 


Hello my crafty friends!

It has been a while I have been very busy out in my yard.  Weather here in Central Maine has been crazy and our summer season is short.

Today I have a card for you that features one of Spellbinders Susan's Garden newest release Snow Garden the SDS-187 Ornamental Kale / Cabbage along with S4-1073 Autumn Hydrangea from the Autumn Flora Collection and S4-1113 Winter Berry from Holiday Collection.

Card Base - 6" X 6" tent fold

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

White mat cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" then embossed using Creative Expressions EF3D-056 Honeycomb Trellis embossing folder.  Mat adhered to card front Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

The black medallion was cut from black cardstock using Spellbinders S5-431 Picot Petite Circles and adhered to card front using dimensional tape.

Ornamental Kales was cut from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper colored with Olo Markers.  They were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit  and assembled using Susan's YouTube instructions found here.

Two Autumn Hydrangeas were cut from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper that I had rubbed several colors of Distress Ink on (front and back of paper).  The leaves and bases for hydrangea were cut from green cardstock.  All were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Susan's YouTube video for guidance which can be found here.

Winterberry was cut from green cardstock then shaded and shaped.  See Susan's YouTube video found here.  Note:  I use the little Styrofoam balls colored with alcohol ink instead of the Nuvo Drops.

I do hope you have enjoyed my post today and that I have inspired you to create your own card.

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
