Fall Splendor




Hello today my post is a card I designed for Susan Tierney-Cockburn's Design Team at Elizabeth Craft Designs.  I have again used Susan's Chrysanthemum I really love making these "Mums" they are lots of fun. I have used microfine glitter on this card but it is very hard to see the glitter in the picture.  The card is displayed on the new Card Stand / Easel made with the new Elizabeth Craft Designs die.  I am loving this stand and including it with my cards when I send them as it is great for the recipient to be able to display their card.

Here we go

The card base is a standard A2 card 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 with a top fold.

1  Using white cardstock  cut at 4-1/2 X 5-3/4" cover with clear double sided adhesive cut 1 panel from the accordion oval die - cut away the oval and tabs.

2.  Remove protective paper from the adhesive and cover with Saffron micro fine glitter and burnish in.

3.  Cover a 5 X 6" piece of white cardstock with clear double sided adhesive and cut 1 set of oval flourish frame edges.  remove the protective paper and adhere to the glittered panel.  Attach panel to front of card base.

4.  Using several different colors of cardstock cut and shape 8 "mums" following Susan's Youtube video found here.

5.  Adhere flowers and leaves to lower half of the oval on card front using a clear drying adhesive.

6.  Attach "Thank You" pull off sticker to top half of oval.

7.  Create the new card stand / easel video found here.

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...

Family Hydrangeas

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes.
