Trilliums



Welcome my crafty friends!

Wow it has been a while since I have posted anything on my blog but things have calmed down and I am very excited to say Susan Tierney-Cockburn with Spellbinders  has a brand new release  called Garden Favorites.

Today is my first creation with the new release and I have chosen the Trillium.  I have linked all of the new dies below.

The card is a basic 6" X 6" created from 110#  white cardstock layered with 5-3/4" square of green cardstock adhered using clear double sided adhesive. 

5-1/2" cardstock was embossed with an old embossing folder from my stash - it was attached to card front using clear double sided adhesive.

3 Susan's Garden Trilliums were created 2 white and 1 dark red (here in Maine these are called Stinking Benjamins because of their smell).  Susan has a YouTube video for creating these which can be found here. Couple ferns were created from green cardstock shaded and shaped Susan has a video found here for creating them.

Ferns were attached to upper left corner of card front using Kids Choice Glue then add Trilliums and leaves.  Ladybug was added last.

Quote was from the new Garden Favorite Quotes Stamps.  Stamped in black on white cardstock then die cut with square nested die and scallop backing was die cut 2 pieces adhered together then dimensional tape was used to attach to lower right of card front.

I do hope that this has been inspirational and you create your own card.

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...

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes. Step 2   Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" using Oval die set ( Susan's Garden Notes Fitted Frame It used here) choose oval one size smaller than what you want for opening - die cut oval in cardstock keeping it close to top.    Cut Ivory cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2"  Using next size up oval die cut oval adhere ivory on top of colored using Clear Doubl...
