  Hello my crafty friends, Today I have another Acetate Diamond Window card for you.  I have changed up size on this one so it fits in 6" X 6"  clear acetate box to keep postage down.    I was selected to be the Featured Artist on Splitcoaststampers Featured Stamper Challenge so I have made this card which was inspired by a couple other cards I have created changing size and flowers. Finished card base is 5-1/2" X 6"  Card base was inspired by Sam Calcott her video can be found here   My card pieces started as 6" X 6"( I think she used 8"X8") so my diamond dies ( Spellbinders Essential Diamonds)   that I used for this smaller card were the 4th, 5th and 6th largest. Using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Spider Mum S5-576 from the Victorian  Garden Release I cut 1 mum from Foamarin craft foam colored with OLO marker R1.7 and shaped with fingers then built flower using Kids Choice Glue.  This is my very first foam flower.

Hello my crafty friends! Today I have another card using a couple of Spellbinders/Susan's Garden newest release Victorian Garden .  I have used S5-576 Spider Mum and S4-1278 Victorian Foliage along with S4-1079 Foliage & Ladybug from Autumn Flora Collection .  Spellbinders S5-394 Nobel Chatelaine was used to create corner pieces.  Paper is P13- Farm Sweet Farm -03 . Card base and frame is 6" X 6" Susan has done the frame on her Facebook Live and here  is a link.  I believe Susan's frame was 8" X 8" so here are the dimensions I used for my 6" X 6".  I cut 4 pieces 6" X 3-1/4" and scored all at 3/4",  1-1/4", 2", 2-1/2"  When making the cut outs on each piece I came down 3/4" instead of 1".   From white cardstock with double sided adhesive decorative pieces were cut using a die from Spellbinders S5-394 Nobel Chatelaine then cut in half and trimmed to make corner pieces then attached to frame corners...
