Framed Poinsettias




Hello Everyone my post today is a Birthday Card I did for a dear friend of many many years. Since it is a December birthday I decided to go with Susan's Garden Notes Poinsettia die and ECD Fitted Frames 1  Lacy Rectangles  die.  For those of you that follow Elizabeth Craft Designs or the Susan's Garden Club on Facebook the card will look familiar to you as Susan posted a similar one last week, what a coincidence.  I do apologize for the quality of the pictures as it is very hard to photograph Shimmer Sheetz and glitter,

Here we go

  1.  Using Red Metallic Shimmer Sheetz cut 1 set of Fitted Frames 1- Lacy Rectangles.

  2.   Using 100 lb Soft Finish Cardstock with Double Sided Clear Adhesive  on both sides cut 1 set of Fitted Frames 1 - Lacy Rectangles.

  3. Remove protective paper from front of white fitted frames and add Cool Diamond Silk Microfine Glitter and burnish in using your fingers.

  4.   Take an A2 (4-1/4 X 5-1/2) card base and alternating between the red Shimmer Sheetz orange shade and the glittered white frames add them to the front of the card base ( I actually do 2 card bases at the same time). Framed Poinsettias 12142015 2

  5.   Using white, green and yellow cardstock cut out 3 poinsettias and shade, shape and assemble using Susan's video tutorial seen here as a guide.

  6.   Using White Pine Boughs and Pinecone die and cut several pine boughs from green cardstock.  Shade a little with PanPastels set 3 orange shade.  Pinch with fingers to give dimension.

  7.   Add poinsettias, leaves and pine boughs to center of card using clear drying glue.


The second card was finished off by turning it so it is a top fold card and adding the poinsettias, leaves and pine boughs to upper left corner.  Cut Noel from 100 lb cardstock with double sided  adhesive on both sides (this may take several passes through diecut machine due to thickness).  Remove paper from top and add glitter.  Attach to lower right corner.  Add red gems around card where the holes are.  Finally dab clear drying glue to different areas of the flowers, leaves and boughs then add diamond dust.

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...
