Sweet Pea Diamond Easel


 Hello my fellow paper gardeners,

Today it is my turn again to post a card today for Susan's Garden Club Spellbinders Design Team.  I decided I better do something other than the sweet little Lily of the Valley so I  have chosen to do a card with Sweet Peas ivy and fern from Susan's new Spring Flora Release.  

My card today is a diamond easel card which Susan did on her Facebook Live - Susan's Garden Club which you can find here.  This card is a fun and easy card to create.

Create card base and add printed cardstock.

Mason jar was created using shrink film.  Cricut was used to cut a mason jar pattern from cardstock then traced onto shrink film and then fussy cut by hand.  blue Copics marker was used to color back side of jar then using instructions on the shrink film packaging shrink.  Small jute twin was wrapped around top of jar and a little Bearly Art Precision Glue added to end to hold.  Create a bow from same jute and adhere to jar front.

Cut 5 Sweet Peas from Susan's Specialty Cardstock colored with Copic markers shaped with Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit  and built using Kids Choice Glue.  Leaves were cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Susan has a YouTube video for creating Sweet Pea which can be found here.
Green cardstock was used for the Ivy and Fern from Susan's Spring Flora Release - 3 each were die cut shaded and shaped using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.

Once card is complete add mason jar by adding Kids Choice Glue along just edge of both sides and bottom to card front (unfortunately my jar doesn't show up well on the dark paper)  then arrange bouquet to card front using Kids Choice Glue.  




I do hope that I have inspired you to create your own card.

thanks for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Christine

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...

A Breath of Spring

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...
