Elegant Labels with Glads






Welcome my crafty friends!

Here is my third Breast Cancer Survivor Card hard to believe how many people I know that has been affected by this horrible disease and so glad many are survivors.  I truly love making these cards for people each year sending them love.

Card 3 is  5" X 7"adorned with Susan's Garden Gladiolus.

Card base formed from white cardstock then front was embossed using Delicate Dots by Craftwell.  I use this embossing folder a lot I love it as it 8-1/2 X 11.

Spellbinders Elegant Labels 4 die set (Don't think this is available from Spellbinders anymore but there are plenty of other dies that could be used) was used to cut shapes from white cardstock as well as the largest die to cut a solid pink label shape.  The white label pieces were adhered over the pink label using Bearly Art Glue.

Using Susan's Garden Berry Basket & Gladiolus die set I cut 6 flowers from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper.  Leaves and 4 stems were cut from green cardstock.  Flowers were colored then shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Stems were doubled up and glued together using Kids Choice Glue then buds were cut off top of one and just the stem was glued to bottom of stem that still had buds extending it to accommodate the extra flowers.  The leaves were shaded and shaped.

Flower was assembled in center of card using Kids Choice Glue starting with stem then adding flowers and lastly the leaves.  Susan has a YouTube video showing how to create the flowers which you can find here.

The small pink ribbon was die cut from pink cardstock using an old Suzanne Cannon - A Way With Words die set called Hope.

For the inside I cut the largest label from pink cardstock then smaller one from white cardstock on which I stamped sentiment using black Momento ink then adhering to center of inside of card.  Sentiment is from Essentials By Ellen Ellen Hutson Courage Stamp & Die Set from a few years ago proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

I have linked many items below that was used in creating this card.  If you click on any one of them it will take you to site where you can purchase them at no extra cost to you but it gives me a small commission which helps to defray my cost.  Thank you for any purchase no matter how small or large but please don't feel like you must.

Thanks for stopping by today and I do hope that I have inspired you to be creative!

Until next time - Happy crafting and Get those mammograms!!!

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...
