Dogwood






 Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a card for you that I created using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Dogwood from her new collection Garden Favorites along with Spellbinders Layered Stich Background.

Card base is 5 X 7 colored cardstock cut 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" embossed using swiss dot then lightly sanded (if you have white core cardstock).  Panel was attached to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  This is another card that could go either direction.

Using Spellbinders Layered Stitched Background cut 2 of the open die 1 from colored 1 from white then 1 white from solid die.  Attach the colored layer onto white solid then add white open on top of colored.  Attach as many of the colored cutouts as you wish in corresponding openings.  Bearly Art Glue was used for all this.  Using Clear Double Sided Adhesive attach to center of card front.

Diamond strips were cut from cardstock with Clear Double Sided Adhesive on back 2 from white 2 from colored cardstock.  White strips were attached to colored strips offsetting just a little.  Attach strips to each end evenly.

Using the new Dogwood die from Susan's Garden Favorites cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper colored then shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Kids Choice Glue. Susan has a YouTube video for creating the dogwood it can be found here.  Flowers were arranged on card front and attached using Kids Choice Glue.

Thank you for stopping by today I sure hope it has been inspirational.  Links for products used can be found below clicking on any of them will take you to the sight where you can purchase.

Until next time - Happy Crafting!

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...
