W Fold Poinsettia Card



Hello my crafty friends - welcome to my blog!

Today my card is a "W" Fold card with Poinsettias and Mistletoe created from Susan's new Christmas Release.  Links for all the new dies are below.

Card base created from white cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 6" fold on score line.  Brown ink used to edge.  Brown cardstock used for mats cut 5-3/4" square 3 pc.  Added to card front and 2 inside attaching with Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  3 pc of pattern paper (mine is an old paper I having been saving for years) cut 5-1/2" square attached in same manner.  Susan has a video on W Fold card which can be found here.

2-1/2" X 12" white cardstock was scored at 3, 6 & 9 folded on score lines valley fold, mountain fold and valley fold.  Brown ink used to edge.  The 2 ends are all that is attached to card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive attaching 1 end at a time.  4 pieces of brown cardstock cut 3-1/2" X 2-3/4" then 2 pc white cardstock cut 3-1/4" X 2-1/2" edged with brown ink  and 2 pattern cut 3-1/4" X 2-1/2" .   Cleared Double Sided Adhesive was used to attach the white and pattern pieces to the brown pieces.  Sentiments stamped in black ink on white cardstock Susan's new Christmas Release Stamp Set was used for this.
My pieces were attached using Clear Double Sided Adhesive and they were staggered but you have several options on attaching it is up to you.

For card front Spellbinders Classic Circle Dies used to cut circles 4 of each size were cut  approximately  4-3/4" dia and 3" dia from tan cardstock. Bearly Art Glue was used to stack circles together.  Twine was used to wrap circles together at the top laying large circle on top of small circle then wrapped.  Dimensional tape was used to attach the circles to card front.

Poinsettia was cut from Susan's Specialty Cardstock and leaves and Pine Boughs were cut from green cardstock.  Copic  markers were used to color petals and Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit was used to shape.  See Susan's YouTube video here for creating the Poinsettias and Mistletoe.  Small styrofoam balls were used for the berries.  Kids Choice Glue was used to attach build flowers and add berries as well as attaching to circles.

Well I hope this has been an inspiration and you will create your own 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...
