Hyacinth Hello



 


Hello My Crafty Friends,

Well it is Spring although today we got snow again so paper gardening was in order.

My card today has a very popular spring flower - Susan's Garden Notes - Hyacinth.

My card is a 6" X 6" tent fold card.  Card base was created using white Soft Finish Cardstock cut 6" X 12" scored at 6" and folded on score line.

Used Susan's Garden Notes Frame It - Rectangles die set to cut opening in card front.  I am lucky I have some 8-1/2" X 11" embossing folders  used one to emboss front of card base.

Distress Oxide Sprays in various colors were used on photo paper to create background piece then adhered to back of card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive behind opening.

5 Hyacinths were created in different colors cut from white Soft Finish Cardstock then colored with Copic Markers.  Stems and leaves were cut from green cardstock - I cut the leaf  off  stem and used separately.

From gray cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back 2 Susan's Garden Notes Trevi Urns were cut one adhered to other.  Black Embellishment Mousse, Snow Accent and Distress Oxide Sprays were used for finish on urn.  Protective paper was removed from back of urn a couple of dimensional dots were placed center back of urn then adhered to card front.

Hyacinths and leaves were added to urn using Kids Choice Glue.

Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words - Hello was cut twice from black cardstock with Clear Double Sided Tape on back then one was adhered to other - adhered to lower left of card front.

Cannot wait until Susan's new dies are released by Spellbinder in early September - I am on Susan's Design Team and will be creating with her new dies.

Hope you have enjoyed my card today and it has inspired you to create and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Christine

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...
