Double Z Fold Hibiscus Survivor #5

 







Hello my crafty friends.

This post is of another Breast Cancer Survivor card it is #5 and I have 1 more to post.  It is hard to believe how many people I know that have been affected by this terrible disease.

This card is another Double Z Fold card which is really easy and fun to do and I have adorned it with Susan's Garden Club Hibiscus along with Winter Boughs & Evergreen Shrubs.  Becca Feekins Elegant Twist Rectangles was also used.  Susan did this card on one of here Lives on Susan's Garden Club you can find it here.

Here are your paper cuts and score lines for card base and layers for my card.

White cardstock -  (1) 6" X (" scored at 3" and 6"

                              (1) 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3: & 6"

                              (2) 2" X 3-1/4"

Patterned Paper -  (1) 5-3/4" square

                             (2) 2-3/4" X 5-3/4"

                             (2-3/4" X 4-1/4"


Card base was assembled using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Any sentiments should be stamped before assembling. ( My Sentiment was from stamp set I got several years ago from Ellen Hutson - Essentials by Ellen Courage Stamp & Die Set.  Part of the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.)

My paper is Park Lane - Wild Summer

Susan's Garden Hibiscus was cut 3 times from Susan's garden Specialty Paper colored centers using Copic markers.  Leaves, Sage branches were cut from green cardstock and shaded with ink.  The branch was cut from Susan's Specialty Paper then colored using Copic markers.  All were Shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube video for Hibiscus which you can find here.

Kids Choice Glue was used to add branch, foliage, ladybug and flowers to card front.

I do hope that this has been an inspiration for you to go make a card - maybe you have someone you know that is a survivor and a card could brighten their day.  I get great pleasure from sending these cards to someone that has been through so much.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time - Happy Crafting!

Below I have many of the products I used to create this card if you click on picture it will take you to site where you can purchase at no extra cost to you but I do get a small commission which helps cover my costs.  Thank you if you make a purchase no matter how large or small but there is not any obligation to do so.

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...
