Always Hope

2018-01-10 Love inn a Mist Hope 1

Welcome to my blog all my crafty friends!

Hope you are all finding some time to create some projects.

Today my card is one that was requested by a friend.  She had liked the pink one I had done but wanted something for a male so this is what I came up with.

Step 1  From brown cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back cut 1 Garden Notes Berry Spray and cut 1 without the adhesive on the back.  Adhere 1 on top of other making a sturdier branch.  Add berries using Nuvo Crystal Drops (Navy Blue used here).  Set aside to dry.  I did berries on both sides of branch like Susan does so you will have to let 1 side dry then go back do other side and let that dry.

Step 2  Cut, color, shape and assemble 3 Garden Notes Love In A Mist flowers.  You can use blue cardstock or cut from White Soft Finish Cardstock and color with alcohol markers.  Cut leaves from green cardstock.  Susan has videos on her Facebook page Susan's Garden Club.  October 11th she did Love In A Mist.

Step 3  Form card base from 10" X 7" White soft finish Cardstock score at 5" fold on score line forming a 5" X 7" card base.

Step 4  Cut piece of colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" (a blue metallic was used here) adhere to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step 5  From White Soft Finish Cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back and using A Way With Words - Flourished Frame as well as the word Hope.  Attach to card front.

Step 6  Finish card by adding flowers, foliage and berry branch adhering with Kids Choice Glue.

Step 7 from White Soft Finish Cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back cut 1 card stand and then cut 1 without adhesive.  Adhere one with adhesive on top of one without.  Emboss.  I always include a stand with my card.

I truly hope you have enjoyed this quick tutorial today and it has given you inspiration.

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...
