Pink Sunflower Survivor Slimline

 



Hello my crafty friends!

Today I am posting another of my survivor cards that I created in month of October for Breast Cancer Survivors. This is something I like to do each October.  I love to surprise these survivors and let them know they are not forgotten and acknowledge their fight.  Some of these ladies I have never met.

My card is a slimline card 8" X 4".  The overlay was cut from pink cardstock using the 2 largest dies of the  Spellbinders Becca Feeken Flourished Sonata die set S6-185.  I used Bearly Art Glue to attach to card front.

Sentiment was printed onto white cardstock  (I couldn't find my stamp set) then used 3rd largest die from Flourished Sonata to cut it out then adhered to card front using dimensional tape.

Pink ribbon was cut on my Cricut a couple times then adhered together to give dimension.  Added ribbon to right side of card using Bearly Art Glue.

From Spellbinders Susan's Garden latest release Birds & Bees I used Acacia from the Autumn Foliage set S4-1320.  I cut 3 sprigs from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper SCS 122, colored with alcohol markers and Shaped with Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit T-021.  Susan' has a YouTube video for this which can be found here at about 12:19.

A couple of berry branches were created using the little styrofoam balls colored with alcohol ink glued to colored berry branch using Kids Choice Glue and black dots added to berries using a very fine point pen.

My flower was also cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper SCS 122 using the die set Sunflower S4-1177 from the Garden Favorites release.  Flower was colored using alcohol inks and shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit T 021.  Susan's YouTube for creating the Sunflower can be found here
Acicia, Berry Branches and Sunflower  were attached to card front using Kids Choice Glue.



I so hope that I have inspired you to create your own version of the card even if it isn't a card for breast cancer survivor this card can be used for any occasion.  

Thanks for stopping by today 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
