Lily of the Valley Overload


Hello my crafty friends!

My card today was created using a picture I printed off from Facebook, a Lily of the Valley 3D embossing folder and Spellbinders Susan's Garden Lily of the Valley dies (retired).

Card Base is 5" X 7" using 100# white cardstock.  The first mat was from green cardstock cut 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Black cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" was used for embossed layer. I used Lisa Horton's Background Lily of the Valley 3D Embossing Folder LHCEF 190.  This was adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

 I love Lily of the Valley as you can probably tell.  I loved the vase so I printed 3 copies on photo cardstock.  I fussy cut them out (I actually cut the bottom off in order to make it fit my 5" X 7" card.
I adhered the 3 vases together using Kids Choice Glue.  I then used Ultra Thick Clear Embossing Powder to emboss the vase then put immediately in the freezer for about 15 minutes.  Upon removing from freezer I gently bent the vase making it crack.  I used a brown ink rubbing edges and over the whole front surface then wiping away with a soft cloth to enhance the aged look.  I gently rounded the vase using my fingers I added dimensional tape to center back of vase and Kids Choice Glue around the very edge of both sides and bottom adhere to bottom of card front.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Lily of the Valley S4-1085 from Spring Flora was cut 4-5 times from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video on how to create these sweet flowers you can find it here  Using Kids Choice Glue several leaves were added to the vase then the flower stems were added.  Finally a few more leaves were added to bouquet.

I do hope that I have inspired you to look at different things to use on your cards - think outside the box.  I do hope that you will go create a card.

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
