Congratulations Lily




  Hello everyone hope you all are enjoying your summer it has been busy here with the gardening and outside chores.


Today my post is a card that I designed for a great group of ladies that I scrap with.  Each month we have a night that is called Playground Night where we take turns coming up with a project to teach.  We pay $4.00 for the class and the money is donated to a fund for a playground that was built and named for my son and in turn the money is used for upkeep etc, for "The Matt Pooler Memorial Playground".


Let's get started:


Card Base

1.  Cut brown cardstock 5" X 7"

2.  Cut off white cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" and emboss each end (4-1/2" ends) 1-1/4" in from each edge.

3.  Cut green cardstock 4-1/4" X 5-1/2" and score at 1/2" and 2-3/4" fold on score lines.

4.  Use removable adhesive on just the outer edges on the back of the off white cardstock and center it on the brown cardstock.

5.  Measure up 2-1/2" from bottom of brown cardstock and center the ECD  "Congratulations" stand up helper die and tape in place then run through die cutting machine.  Cut away the off white "Congratulations" leaving the brown one as the stand for the card.

6.  Remove the off white cardstock and apply double sided permanent adhesive to the back avoiding the cut away area.

7.  Apply double sided adhesive to both sides of the 1/2" flap on the green cardstock.

Center the flap of the green cardstock on the off white (6-1/2" side) attaching the flap to the back side top of the off white cardstock and then attach the off white cardstock to the brown cardstock.

8.  Cut sunset cardstock 4" X 4-1/4" and the honey cardstock 3-3/4" X 4".  Adhere the honey piece to the sunset piece using the double sided clear adhesive and then adhere this to the lower 2-1/4" section of the green cardstock.

8.  Die cut a 4" circle (Spellbinder Stately Circles used here) pop dot circle

 to center of honey cardstock.

9.  Using sunset cardstock and the ECD die cut 2 flourishes.  Using a liquid glue and a fine tip add glue to flourishes and attach to circle.

10.  Using Susan's Garden Lily die cut and shape as seen here.

11.  Attach Lily over the flourishes.

12.  Add pearls around the outer edge of circle.

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...
