Birthday Peony




Good Morning Everyone,

Today's post is a birthday card for a dear friend's Mom for her 88th birthday.  Today's card is another easel card I seemed to be stuck on them at the moment.

Let's get started.

Making the card base see the tutorial here I did change the size a little to accommodate the Spellbinder dies.

(Cut your cardstock 4-1/4 X 12 score at 3", 6" and 9" and cut your front panel piece of cardstock 4-1/4 by 6)

Note: I used Close to My Heart Colonial White Cardstock and  I distress edges of all my pieces with Distress Ink - Vintage Photo

With the card base done continue as follows

1.  Using Spellbinder Gold Label Four dies cut the 4 largest dies using Colonial White cardstock.

2.  Attach largest one to the front of the card using clear double sided adhesive and then the next 3  sizes and using pop dots or mounting tape stack them on each other centering.

3.  Die cut a piece of Colonial White cardstock using the next to the smallest die and using the third smallest die and Vineyard berry cardstock cut 1 piece.

4.  Stamp sentiment on the Colonial White die cut and then attach to Vineyard berry die cut using clear double sided adhesive.

5.  Next cut and shape your peony using Susan's Garden Notes peony die and here video seen here and build on your card front.

6.  Using pop dots or mounting tape attach the sentiment to the lower 3" segment of the card as a stand up helper.

7.  Add pearls or gems to the four corners on the front and the lower two corners under the sentiment.

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...

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...
