Posting Update

 Today I want to acknowledge everyone that has visited and continues to visit my page thank you so very much.  I have not posted in 5 months due to our moving to a new home after 56 years.  I am very close to begin creating and posting once again so stay tuned.  I have missed creating terribly but have been unpacking and sorting through everything deciding what to keep and what to get rid of (56 years in 1 place and 3-1/2 weeks to pack it all up there was no time for decisions).

Thank you for continuing to check out my page - Stay Tune!!!

Hello my crafty friends! My card today is call a Triple Diamond Point which I found on Sam Calcutt YouTube channel.  I have created the card pretty much as Sam did but I used flowers from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Through the Meadow Collection .  I used S2-414 Lavender Mountain Daisy , an older Berry Branch and some Grape Hyacinth I created myself.  Also from Spellbinders I used E3D-033 Beveled Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder and Spellbinders Better Press BP-025 Always & Forever Sentiment Strips.   The card is a 6" X 6" here is Sam's video for creating this card.  Triple Diamond Point Using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper I cut 3 of the Lavender Mountain Daisies and colored with Olo Alcohol Markers V2.3 and 2.4.   I used watercolor paper for the foliage colored them with  YG-8.5 & 8.7 I then shaped them using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit .  Susan's video for creating these flowers can be found here .

Heart of Lilies & Berries

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have a card I created for a dear friend's birthday using a piece from my stash.  Not sure what I had made it for but decided that it would make a great mat for this card.  I have used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Oriental Lilies from the Wellies & Oriental Lily Die Set S5-478 Summer Flora Collection , Ladder Fern from Ferns & Ivy Die Set S4-1086 also from Spring Flora Collection and Arrowood Viburnum S3-516 from Winter's Grace Collection .  The patterned paper in heart is actually from a picture of old wallpaper I took at the Olson House where Andrew Wyeth painted the famous painting "Christina's World" .  I have used this on several occasions printing onto cardstock. My card base is 5-1/2" X 7" from 110# cardstock.  Pattern paper was cut a little larger than the heart opening then attached to back side using Clear Double Sided Adhesive .  The mat was then attached to card front using dimensional tape...
