Pink & White Poppies







Welcome My Crafty Friends,

My card today is another card for a Breast Cancer Survivor. PLEASE if you haven't gotten your mammogram yet this year get it as it could save your life!

Today I have used Susan's Autumn Flora - Oriental Poppy along with Spellbinders Lace Hearts.

My card base is a 6" X 6" created from white cardstock. Pink cardstock was cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

White cardstock was cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2 Spellbinders Lace Hearts was used to cut design in cardstock. I found the center of the piece then placed die on cardstock and cut. Once I got design cut I erased pencil marks. See pictures below.





Once design was cut Clear Double Sided Adhesive was used to adhere to card front.

From white cardstock 5 poppies and 2 buds were cut using Autumn Flora Oriental Poppy. 3 Poppies were colored with Copic Markers 2 were left white. they were shaped and assembled. Susan has a YouTube video for this which you can find here.

Autumn Flora Foliage & Lady Bug set was used to cut Ladybug. See Susan's YouTube for this here.

From white cardstock 4 corners were cut using Spellbinders Lace Hearts Die Set. Corners were attached using Kids Choice Glue. Note: had I thought ahead I would have added Clear Double Sided Adhesive to back of cardstock before cutting eliminating the use of liquid glue.

Poppies and leaves were added to card from using Kids Choice Glue.

Well as always I do hope I have inspired you to create thank you for stopping by.

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...
