Hello from a very cold Maine

Cold in Maine 4 03112015

Today I am doing my very first post on my new blog so please be patient with me. I have created a card using Susan Tierney Cockburn's new Garden Notes - Rose 2 (998) die from Elizabeth Craft Designs and the Karen Burniston's Katie Label Accordion (903) die also from Elizabeth Craft Designs I do hope you enjoy it.

1.  The card is a white A2 inked all edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

2.  Using the main die from Katie Label Accordion die cut one from red cardstock and trim off all tabs leaving just the frame and ink edges.  Taking the label that was cut from the frame  trim off excess and ink edges.

. 3. Take the largest individual label die and cut from white cardstock and ink edges.

4. Attach the white label on top of the red label using ECD's clear double sided adhesive  then attach the labels to the front of the card using same adhesive.

5.  Next using the Susan's Garden Notes - Rose 2 die cut and shape your rose .  Next build your rose in  the center of the white label.   Susan has some great You Tube videos for making all her flowers on Elizabeth Craft designs You Tube channel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF2zwWbtaVY

6.  Add foam pop dots to the back of the frame.

7.  Add string of pearls to the front of the card using a clear quick dry glue.  Attach frame to front of card.

8.  Cut the small oval in white and ink edges.  Cut the 2 small decorative pcs in red cardstock and attach to oval then attach oval to bottom of frame (this is where my string of pearls came together) using a clear glue. Add a red pearl to center.

9.  For the inside of the card stamp your sentiment (Susan's Cherish stamp used here) cut small heart in red and attach to lower right corner.  Add pearl to center.

I do hope this inspires you to try to make your own card using colors of your choice.  This is just another way to use the accordion dies with just a little adaption.

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 p...

A Breath of Spring

Hello My Crafty Friends! Finally the daffodils are blooming and tulips are starting to put on buds - Spring has finally arrived here in Maine. Today my card is one that a friend has requested for her mother.  I have chosen several spring flowers from several Spellbinders Susan's Garden releases to create my card.  For my card I have used S4-1085 Lily of the Valley from Spring flora, S4-1175 Lilac from Garden Favorites, S2-340 Forget Me Not from Garden Gate and S5-470 Vase, Daffodil & Narcissus from Summer Flora.   The card base is one I have done before using other shapes for window Sam Calcott has a YouTube video for it (Acetate Hexagon Card) you can find it here .  I chose to do circle instead of hexagon and cut my cardstock 7" square and circles were 4-3/4" and 3-3/4".  I created a box for the card using  Donna Griffith's How to make your own custom sized boxes YouTube video found here  it is a great video.  I chose to add a framed win...
