Double Frame Parrot Tulips & Lily of the Valley


Hello all you lovely paper gardeners,

Today I have a double frame card I created using Lily of the Valley and Parrot Tulips from Susan's Garden Club / Spellbinders new Spring Flora Release.

Card base is 6 X 6 with 6 X 6 frame which is 3/4" wide and 1/4" deep.  Second Frame is 4-1/2" square 1/4" wide and deep.  Susan's Facebook Live she did making frames can be found here.  

Lily of the Valley and Parrot Tulips were cut from Susan's Specialty Cardstock and shaped using Susan's Garden Club Deluxe Tool Kit.  This too kit is fantastic love the size of handle as it fits these old arthritic hands.  Leaves and stems were cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Videos for making all the flowers can be found on YouTube.

3-1/2" square printed paper was cut for center of frame adhered with clear double sided adhesive.     

Quote was stamped in black ink using Susan's Garden Club  Spring Quotes Clear Stamp Set and cut using an old Spellbinders Label One die.  Dimensional dots were used to adhere in lower right corner of inside frame.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope that this card has inspired you to create your own card

I have linked below items that I have used to create this card if you click on any picture it will take you to site where you can purchase no added cost to you but I do make a small commission to help cover cost of supplies - thanking you in advance.

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...
