Sweet Pea & Lily of the Valley

 



Welcome my fellow paper gardeners,
Today I have a 6" X 6" tent fold card sporting Susan's Garden Club / Spellbinders new Spring Flora Sweet Pea and Lily of the Valley.

100# white cardstock was cut 6" by 12" scored at 6" folded on score line.  Swiss Dot embossing folder was used to emboss card front. From off white cardstock 1 Spellbinders Floral Lace Frame was cut.  1 piece of  patterned paper was cut the exact measurement of frame.  Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue was used to adhere the frame to top of patterned paper.  Clear double sided adhesive was used to adhere the frame to card front.  Used 2 circle dies (sized to fit inside frame opening) to cut 3 frames from white cardstock.  Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue was used to adhere the frames together also to adhere circle inside of frame opening.

From Susan's Garden Club 6 Sweet Peas were cut (leaves were cut from green cardstock) then colored using Copic Markers.  They were shaped using Susan's Garden new Deluxe Tool Kit.  For shaping and assembly use Susan's YouTube video here.

Susan's Garden Club Lily of the Valley was cut twice flowers from Susan's Specialty Paper leaves and stems from green cardstock.  Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape flowers and leaves assembly video can be found here.

Bearly Art Precision Glue was used to adhere flowers and leaves to card front.

Ladybug was cut using Fall Foliage and Ladybug die set.  

Thanks for stopping by today hope it has been inspiring for you.

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...
