Snow Village




Hello my crafty friends!

This weekend is the Susan's Garden Club Dies etc has been released on Tonic Studio USA site. There are smaller bundles or the complete bundle that are on special all weekend November 22,23 and 24th. If you click on any product picture below it will take you to Tonic Studio USA site where you can find the bundles. Be sure to check it out.

My card today I created using Nuvo Expanding Mousse, Winter Wonderland Stencil, Susan's Garden Club Spider Mum and her Holly & Berries. Sentiment is Tonic Studio- Let It Snow.

Step 1 Cut Holly Berry Branch twice from brown cardstock. Adhere together using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. I did a bunch all at once then embossed them with a woodgrain embossing folder. I know it doesn't really show in picture but it does show in person. Shade with brown ink. Using Nuvo Crystal Drops - Red Berry add berries to branch then set aside to dry. Once dry add berries to back side again set aside to dry.

Step 2 Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4". My cardstock is a dark blue that has a sheen to it - it was a piece in my scraps. Take Winter Wonderland Stencil place over colored cardstock. Using spatula add Nuvo Expanding Mousse - Worn Linen over stencil. Once scene is covered remove stencil either set aside to dry or heat set.

Step 3 Cut white cardstock 5" X 7". Using a rectangle die that fits card front and shows off your scene die cut. Emboss using dotted swiss embossing folder. Adhere over scene using Nuvo Adhesive Tape Runner. Using same tape runner adhere to front of 5" X 7" card base.

Step 4 Cut Holly Leaves from green cardstock or white cardstock and color. Shade and shape leaves. Brush with Nuvo Crystal Glaze set aside to dry.

Step 5 Use Susan's Garden Club Spider Mum Die Set to cut 1 mum from white cardstock or color of your choice. Color and shape.

Step 6 Cut 1 from silver mirror card or other shiny cardstock 1 pc from Tonic Studios Essential Pinecone Season Die Set. Emboss with woodgrain embossing folder.

Step 7 Die cut Tonic Studio's Let It Snow twice once from the silver mirror card and once from black. Adhere together silver over black offsetting just a tiny bit to give a shadow.

Step 8 Using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive start building on your card starting with silver piece. Add Holly and Berries then build your mum. Add leaves and Ladybug.

Step 9 Add sentiment at bottom of card front.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and I do hope it has given you some 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...

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...
