Crocus in a Tea Cup



Hi my crafty friends!

Today's card I have created is a simple 6" X 6" tent fold card and I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Crocus from the new release Snow Garden.  The Crocus are in the Tea Cup from the Victorian Garden Collection.

Card base is 6" square with black mat cut at 5-3/4' x 5-3/4" attached to card front using clear double sided adhesive.  Second mat is white cardstock cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" then embossed with swiss dot embossing folder and attached using clear double sided adhesive.  Large circle was cut from black cardstock using Spellbinders Circle Die set then embossed using Lisa Horton 3D Embossing Folder Padded Quilt LHCEF003 then added to card front using dimensional tape.

Tea Cup was cut from 100# black cardstock using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Victorian Tea Cup S4-1277 from the Victorian Garden .  I painted it with Tim Holtz White Crackle Paint then clear embossed once paint was dry.  Saucer and Tea Cup were attached using Kids Choice Glue leaving top of Tea Cup open. Susan has a YouTube video for creating the Tea Cup which can be found here I also put a piece of dimensional tape in center back of Tea Cup.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Crocus S2-375 was cut 9 times from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and cut a bunch of leaves from watercolor paper.  I used a combo of Olo Markers and Copic Markers to color everything and shaped everything using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube video for creating the Crocus which can be found here  Crocus were added to Tea Cup using Kids Choice Glue.

I hope that this has been inspirational and you will make your own card!

Thank you 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.
