Horseshoe with Lily of the Valley

 




Hello Paper Gardeners,

Today I have created a frame card using Susan's Garden Club Spellbinders new Spring Flora Release dies Lily of the Valley and Ivy from Ferns & Ivy set.  Love this new Lily of the Valley die set.

Card base is 6" X 6" patterned paper cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" attached to card front using clear double sided adhesive.  Frame was created per Susan's instruction on her "live video" here (Coreopsis and Frames).  I created a 6" X6" frame instead of an 8" X 8" so my measurements are 4 pieces of white cardstock 6" X 3-1/4" scored at 3/4", 1-1/4", 2" and 2-1/2".  When making cut out you come down 3/4" instead of 1"

Horseshoe was cut on Cricut 3 times colored with brown and gray Copic markers.  Use Bearly Art Glue to adhered horseshoes together. Metallic rub ons used over top.  Adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue in several spots on back of horseshoe.

Ivy was cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock then colored with Copic marker - 2 full length and 2 small pieces were cut and colored.

Lily of the Valley flowers were cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper 4 times and leaves and stem were cut from green cardstock.  Susan will have an assembly video up on YouTube shortly for all her new Spring Flora release.

Arrangement was added to horseshoe using Kids Choice Glue.

Corners were cut from white cardstock using Spellbinders Lace Hearts die set.  They were adhered to each corner of frame using Kids Choice Glue (I spread a little on back of my hand then rubbed back of each corner piece over to add glue to back).

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

I have linked items below so if you click on them they will take you directly to site if you buy anything through the links there will be no extra cost to you but I will earn a small commission which helps cover cost of my supplies.

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...
