Wheelbarrow of Boughs & Berries

wbboughsberries2
Hello my crafty friends welcome to my blog!

Susan's Garden Notes has a mini release consisting of 4 different dies.  Today I have chosen to use the wheelbarrow die to make a Christmas card.  Here is how I created my card.

Step 1  Cut 4 Garden Notes Berry Sprays from brown cardstock.  Using Kids Choice Glue adhere 2 together to make them stronger.  Using red Nuvo Crystal Drops (autumn red used here) add berries to branches set aside to dry.  When dry add berries to back side allow to dry.

Step 2  Cut 2 Garden Notes Wheelbarrow from light brown cardstock 1 with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back - adhere them together.  Using Distress Inks sponge on color all over.  Color wheel with black alcohol marker.

Step 3 from green cardstock cut a bunch of Garden Notes Pine Boughs (I cut a lot as extras will always be used).  Sponge on shading using Distress Ink.  Using tweezers up stem line to hold bough pull up on needles using fingers to give dimension.

Step 4  Form 6" X 6" card base from white cardstock.

Step 5  Cut black cardstock 6" X 6".  Cut square in center using Garden Notes Frame It - Stitched Squares next to largest die.   Cut patterned paper 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhere to back of black frame using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Using 3rd to largest die cut square in center of patterned paper.  Adhere frame piece to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Step 6  Cut narrow strips of dimensional tape add to back of wheelbarrow adhere to card front.

Step 7  Using Kids Choice Glue start adding boughs and berries cutting berry sprays apart to spread out.  When happy with arrangement add bow.

Step 8  Add white drying glue to boughs and different areas for snow sprinkle with glitter.

Step 9  Add Clear Double Sided Adhesive to piece of black cardstock 1 piece of red cardstock die cut Merry Christmas using Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words - Merry Christmas - small.  Adhere black on top of red off setting just a little to give shadow.  Adhere to upper left corner of card.

Hope you have enjoyed this tutorial and will make your own.  There are so many possibilities for this wheelbarrow have fun with it.  For any of the Elizabeth Craft Designs Supplies just click on pictures below it will take you directly to their site.

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...
