Hello my crafty friends welcome to my blog.

Once again it is challenge time for Elizabeth Craft Designs Design Team.  This month our challenge is to create a Christmas card using flowers and or foliage.  My card today uses Susan's Garden Notes Small Poinsettia,  newly released Hawthorne Berries and Pine Boughs along with new Garden Notes Cornucopia.



Be sure to visit Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog to see what all the other design team members have created and enter for a chance to win  $20.00 gift card.  The question for this month is - Which Elizabeth Craft Designs flower or foliage die or stamp set would you chose to create a Christmas card or decoration.

 

Here is how my card was created.

Step 1  Cut 2-3 Garden Notes Hawthorne Berries from either green cardstock or white Soft Finish Cardstock.  If cut in green cardstock shade using Distress Ink if cut in white color with alcohol markers (green cardstock used here).  Susan has a tutorial found here Using  red Nuvo Crystal Drops (Autumn Red used here) add berries to branch set aside to dry then add berries to back side and let dry.

Step 2  Cut 2 Garden Notes Cornucopia from light brown cardstock that has Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back.  Adhere one on top of the other then shade with Distress Ink.  Lay right side down on molding mat using large ball tool rub all over back giving shape.

Step 3  Form 5" X 7" card base.  Cut patterned paper 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" adhere to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step 4  Add pop dots down center of Cornucopia adhere to card front.

Step 5  Arrange Garden Notes Hawthorne Berries in Cornucopia adhere using Kids Choice Glue.

Step 6  Create 3 white Garden Notes Poinsettia - Small.  Using Kids Choice Glue to attach to arrangement.

Step 7  Cut a few Garden Notes Pine Boughs from green cardstock shade, pinch up needles add to arrangement.

Step 8  Cut Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words - Season's Greetings twice - 1 from black cardstock and 1 from gold both with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back.  Add black to top of card front then adhere gold on top offsetting just a little to give it a shadow.

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...
