Pretty Red Clematis





Hello my crafty friends!  
Today I have a slimline card for you that I created using The wonderful new Clematis die set from the brand new release Garden Favorites by Susan Tierney-Cockburn through Spellbinders.  I have given 2 different photos of  card to show that you can use in different directions.



Finished card size is 4 X 8-1/2  - 100# paper was cut 8 X 8-1/2 scored at 4"

Mat layer cut from Kraft cardstock cut 3-3/4 X 8-1/4 adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Wood patterned paper was cut 3-1/2 X 8 then embossed with woodgrain embossing folder.  Adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

3 Clematis  and 6 centers (3 of the centers will be fused as seed heads) were cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper. Flowers were colored using Copic Markers R46 & R27 and Y11 was used on centers.  Shaping was done using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Kids Choice Glue.  Susan has a YouTube on creating this flower which can be found here.

6 Winter Boughs were cut from brown Craft Cardstock and shaded with brown ink.  (Selma Stevenson gave me idea of using Winter Bough for vine)  they were laid out across card attaching using Kids Choice Glue.

From Green cardstock leaves were cut then they were shaded and shaped.  Also from green cardstock cut thin strips and wrapped around small brush handles to create tendrils.

Using Kids Choice Glue arrange flowers across card and adhere. Adhere tendrils, seed heads (the extra centers that were made) and leaves.  Lastly add Ladybug.  

I have linked products used below.

Thanks for stopping by today and 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...

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...
