Autumn Leaves and Coreopsis



Hello my crafty friends,

Autumn is getting closer here in Maine some leaves have started to turn and due to dry weather some are already falling.

Susan Tierney-Cockburn's new release with Spellbinders Autumn Flora is available to purchase today. Autumn Flora has 8 die sets and 1 stamp set.

Today's card features the Coreopsis and Woodland Garden Leaves Etched.

Card base is 4-1/4 X 5-1/2 white cardstock

Patterned paper 4 X 5-1/4 adhered to card front with clear double sided adhesive.

Using Hexi Strip I die cut 1 from white cardstock. Art Glitter Glue Dries Clear with fine tip was used to adhere to left side of card front.

Sentiment is from new stamp set Autumn Quotes stamped on white cardstock using black ink then die cut using Deckled Edges Rectangle. Use dimensional tape to adhere to card front.

4 Maples leaves were cut from white cardstock using die from Woodland Garden Leaves Etched then colored with alcohol markers in autumn colors.

Using Coreopsis die set I cut 3 from white cardstock then colored with Copic markers then shaped and assembled. Susan has YouTube videos up for creating each of her new flowers.

3 foliage were cut from green cardstock using Foliage and Ladybug and 1 ladybug from white cardstock. Leaves were shaped and shaded. Colored ladybug then shaped.

Using Kids Choice Glue I added Foliage first then flowers lastly Woodland Leaves as well as the Coreopsis leaves.

Thanks for stopping by hope you have enjoyed!

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...
