Gladiolus Slimline Card



Hello my crafty friends,

Today I have a card for you using the fabulous new Gladiolus die from Susan Tierney-Cockburn / Spellbinders  new Summer release coming soon to the US.

My inspiration picture for one of the colors I chose for my paper gladiolus.  When I saw this picture I just had to try to recreate.


My card is a slimline card created from white cardstock 8-1/2" by 9" scored in middle at 4-1/4".  Frames were cut from black gloss cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back using Honey Bee Stamps Slimline Thin Frames.  I chose every other one starting with largest adhered to card front.

Vase was an old die cut I had laying around so traced onto gold cardstock and embossed and fussy cut.  Attached to card front using Kids Choice Glue just around very edge leaving top open putting couple pop dots in bottom center on back.

Gladiolus were created using Susan's' Garden Club Specialty Paper.   Petals for dark glad was colored with Copic R89 Dark Red and 100 Black and for second flower YG13 Chartreuse then shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Flowers were assembled using Kids Choice Glue.  Susan will have YouTube video out soon on how to create these lovely flowers. Leaves were cut from green cardstock shaded and shaped.  Flowers then added to vase using Kids Choice Glue.  

Sentiment was stamped on white cardstock using black Momento ink cut to a rectangle the black cardstock was cut as a mat then attached to card front using dimensional tape.

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...

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...
