Double Peony & Spirea





Hello my fellow paper gardeners - welcome to my blog.

Today I have a card for you that I created using Susan's Garden Club / Spellbinders Spring Flora Collection.  I have chosen the Double Peony and Spirea along with some Ferns and Spellbinders Shapeabilities Nobel Chatelaine Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken.

Card base was cut from 8-1/2 X 11 black cardstock scored at 5-1/2" using the largest die of the Nobel Chatelaine Etched Die Set laying it just above the fold taping in place with removable tape see picture (I used white cardstock for picture purposes).

   Using 3 largest dies from Nobel Chatelaine taped together cut from white cardstock.  Using the largest die cut 1 piece from Black cardstock adhere white die cut on top of black die cut using Bearly  Art Precision Glue then glue to front of card lining up edges (very top will extend a little above the fold). 

Susan's Garden Club Spring Release - Peony and Spirea were cut from Susan's Garden Specialty cardstock leaves were cut from green cardstock.  I cut 1 Double Peony and 1 bud coloring with Copic markers RV69 and R89.  Flowers were shaped and assembled using Susan's new Deluxe Tool Kit and her YouTube videos Peony here  Spirea here and Ferns here

Using Kids Choice Glue build arrangement on card front.

From white cardstock using next to 2 smallest dies in set cut 1.  Stamp sentiment using black ink and stamp from Susan's Garden Club Spring Quotes.  Adhere to inside of card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Thank you for stopping by today I do hope that I have inspired you to create your own floral card.

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...

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes. Step 2   Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" using Oval die set ( Susan's Garden Notes Fitted Frame It used here) choose oval one size smaller than what you want for opening - die cut oval in cardstock keeping it close to top.    Cut Ivory cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2"  Using next size up oval die cut oval adhere ivory on top of colored using Clear Doubl...
