Wash Bucket of Nasturtiums & Flowering Kale



Hello my crafty friends!

Today I am posting my card using some of Spellbinders Susan's Garden brand new release "Through the Arbor" out now in your retail stores in USA.  I have used the Wash Bucket & Nasturtium set S5-615 (anyone that knows me knows I LOVE my galvanized buckets and watering cans for paper gardening as well as outdoor gardening).  I also used the Flowering Kale/Cabbage SDS-187 from Snow Garden Collection.

My card is a 6" X 6" tent fold card and I used 100# white cardstock for card base and the 1st mat is  heavy weight black cardstock cut 5-3/4" square.

2nd Mat layer was cut from white cardstock 5-1/2" square lightly spritzed back of cardstock and embossed using E3D-078 Bee-Cause Embossing Folder from the new release as well.  I used alcohol markers to color some of the bees I thought would be showing on finished card.  I adhered this to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

The Wash Bucket was cut from watercolor paper and colored with alcohol markers combining different ones until I was happy with color.  I added a little brown in areas and also some white.  I just kept playing until I had the look I wanted.  I used some dimensional dots in lower center back and Bearly Art Glue along the edges leaving the bucket opening free of glue attach to card front close to bottom of card front..  Susan's YouTube video for creating the bucket can be found here.

Using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper I cut 10 Nasturtiums and 1 Flowering Kale.  They were colored with alcohol markers.  The leaves of the Nasturtiums were cut from watercolor paper.  Spellbinders Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit, Molding Mat and Flower Mold Block were used to shape.  I can link the YouTube video for the Flowering Kale the Nasturtium

Thanks for stopping by today I sure hope that I have inspired you to create your own bouquet of Susan's flowers in this wonderful Wash Bucket.

Keep your eyes open for Spellbinders Susan's Garden new release Through the Arbor!


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.
