Bowl of Carnations

 



Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a card I have created for you using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Carnation S4-1325 from the Through the Arbor release and arranged them in a bowl I created using Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals S5-562 die set ( Susan Tierney-Cockburn did her Facebook Live April 3rd on creating vessels from different die shapes).  Susan's video can be found here

My card is  5" X 7" created from 100# white cardstock.  The first mat is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" hot pink glitter cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.  The next mat is black cardstock cut 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" then embossed using Lisa Horton 3D Embossing Folder LHCEF132 Sandstone Wall.  Once embossed I used a white (stamp pad was quite dried up) stamp pad rubbed it over entire surface then adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.

The bowl was cut from watercolor paper using Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals S5-562.  I embossed the bowl part using Lisa Horton's 3D Embossing Folder LHCEF185 Mottled Leaves.  I attached smaller piece to bottom of bowl using Bearly Art Glue.  I used Distress Ink Old Paper to lightly rub over surface then I covered the entire front with Versamark then added Ultra Thick Embossing Powder over front then heat embossed.  Dimensional Dots were adhered to the center back and Kids Choice Glue was used sides and bottom leaving top open then adhere to lower card front. 

Using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper I cut 3 Spellbinders Susan's Garden Carnation S4-1325 and colored with alcohol markers.  They were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video on how to create the Carnations which can be found here.  Design Team Member Dorothy Mutafopulos also did an updated video  which can be found here.

I created 3 stems of Eucalyptus using Spellbinders Susan's Garden S4-1278 from the Victorian Garden Foliage set Susan's video for creating this can be found here

Berry Branches were created using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Autumn Foliage S4-1320 from the Birds & Bees Collection.

Kids Choice Glue was used to build bouquet in the bowl.

This Card could be used for many different occasions.

Thank you for stopping by I do hope I have inspired you to create your own card.

Until next time - Happy Creating!

Christine

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
