Fallen Leaves


Welcome my crafty friends, So glad you stopped by. Today I have a card I created using Susan Garden Club - Autumn Flora - Woodland Garden Leaves.

Card base 6" X 6" from white cardstock

Colored mat is 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhered to card front using clear double sided adhesive

Die cut is Spellbinders Nestabilities Candlewick Square Etched Dies cut from white cardstock. Susan's Autumn Quotes Stamp Set was used for sentiment stamped in black ink before attaching to card. Dimensional tape was used to adhere die cut to card front.

Using brown cardstock cut 2 berry branches adhere 1 on top of other using liquid glue. Shade using brown ink. Die cut little flowers from yellow cardstock shaped using medium ball tool. Kids Choice Glue was used to adhere little flowers to berry branch. Using Ripened Pumpkin Nuvo Drops make bittersweet berries on branches set aside to dry.

Happy Fall Die D Lite set was used for the basket. Basket was cut twice once from dark brown cardstock and wood print cardstock with clear double sided adhesive on back. Adhered 2 pieces together using Kids Choice Glue.

Leaves were cut from white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. The smaller leaves were used for this card and I just did them randomly.

Basket was adhered to card front using Kids Choice Glue. I bent the basket with my fingers to give dimension before adhering. Once glue is set the bittersweet branch was added then the leaves were added using same glue.

Thanks for stopping by and my card has given you inspiration.

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...

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...
