Sending Hugs




Hello My Crafty Friends,

Well today my card is another tough one - Sympathy for my dearest friend who lost her uncle. I used Susan's Garden Notes Lilies 2 and Forget Me Nots along with Suzanne Cannons Sending Hugs - Susanne's sentiment dies pair so well with Susan's flowers. Tonics Mythical Glade Layering Die set was used for background.

Here is how it was created.

Step 1 Form card base 5" X 7". Cut white cardstock 5" X 7" die cut using Tonic Mythical Glade Layering Die Set - 4th largest die. Adhere to card front using Nuvo Adhesive Tape Runner.

Step 2 Using 5th largest die from Tonic Mythical Glade Layering Die Set cut Craft Perfect Luxury Embossed Champagne cardstock. Adhere to center opening on card front using Nuvo Adhesive Tape Runner.

Step 3 Using Berry Blue Crystal Drops put dots in upper corners set aside to dry.

Step 4 Cut 3 lilies shade, shape assemble. Cut several sets of For Get Me Nots color, shape and assemble using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive. Cut 2 Susan's Garden Club Painted Ferns from green cardstock shade and shape. Adhere to lower card front using Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.

Step 5 Using Suzanne Cannon's Sending Hugs & Kisses die set cut Sending Hugs twice from black cardstock that has Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back. Adhere one on top of other then adhere to card front.

Thanks for stopping by today hope it has been inspiration for you. If you click on any of the icons below it will take you directly to that site.

Until next time - Happy Crafting!

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...
