Sweet Magnolia




Hello Everyone!  My post today is a card that I made for a friend who lost her Dad.  I used one of Susan's  new releases Garden Notes - Southern Magnolia along with Els  van de Burgt's Stitched and Fitted Squares and A With Words - Thinking of You dies.

Here is how I made the card.

  1.  Cut 6' X 12" piece from 100# Soft Finish white cardstock score at 6" fold forming 6" X 6" card base.

  2.   Cut B&T paper (printed paper) 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhere to card front using clear double sided adhesive.

  3.   Using the largest stitched frame and second largest fitted frame dies lay them face down on the paper center the smaller frame inside the large frame tape together using washi tape or removable tape run through die machine cutting out frame.   Attach to card front.


  4.   Attach clear double sided adhesive to front of black cardstock.  Lay Thinking of You die cutting side down on adhesive side of cardstock run through die cutting machine (you may have to run it through 2-3 times due to the added thickness).  Peel off protective covering and coat with black silk microfine glitter - burnish in with your finger.  Adhere to card front as shown in picture using clear drying glue.

  5.   Make 3 Southern Magnolias using 85# soft finish  cardstock  using Susan's video as a guide ( I find her videos very helpful).  Attach to lower left corner of frame.

  6.   Cut card stand / easel twice adhere together and emboss using Bark embossing folder.

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...
