Parasol & Asters Survivor

 





Hello my crafty friends!

As we all know October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and for the last several years I have tried to do at least  2-3 cards for survivors. I like to let them know that they haven't been forgotten just because they have survived.  This is my first for this year and I want to get a couple more done before end of month.  Time has gotten away from this year.  GO GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS PLEASE!!!

The card base is 5" X 7" white 100# cardstock.  First mat is silver mirrored cardstock cut 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.  Second mat is pink cardstock cut 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.  The next mat is white cardstock cut 4-1/4" X 6-1/4" then embossed and adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Parasol S5-610 from the new release Birds & Bees was cut from black cardstock and embossed.  Pink ribbons were cut from Cricut and adhered to Parasol randomly.  Susan has a YouTube for creating the Parasol which you can find here

Using the Aster Die S1-128 from the new Birds & Bees Collection I cut 8 from Susan's Specialty Paper colored then shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video on how to create these sweet flowers which can be found here

From the Victorian Garden Collection I used the Ginkgo from Victorian Foliage S4-1278 cut colored and shaped.  You can find Susan's YouTube video here

Starting with the Ginkgo I built my bouquet in the parasol using Kids Choice Glue.

I stamped sentiment with black in on white cardstock then matted with black cardstock adhered to card front using dimensional tape.

I really hope that this has inspired you to make your own card - and get that mammogram!!!

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
