Framed Bee Blossom & Oriental Lilies


 Hello my crafty friends,

My card today is a framed card with Bee Blossom (Gaura) and Oriental Lilies.  The Bee Blossom is from Susan's Garden new release Through the Garden Gate from Spellbinders which is another great release.

Card is a 6" X 6" frame on a 6" X 6" tent fold card.  Susan has a video for creating the frame which you can find here.  https://www.facebook.com/SusansGardenClub/videos/433190574264552  Design paper (Forever & Always by P13 was used here) is approximately 4" square which was attached to inside of frame using clear double sided adhesive.  1/8" strips were cut from black cardstock and adhered with Bearly Art Glue around inner edge of frame (this idea came from my dear friend Selma when I couldn't figure out why I didn't like my card).  Decorative corners were cut from same cardstock that frame was cut from they were then run through my little Xyron sticker maker and adhered to corners.  Black adhesive backed gems were added to corners.

Using Bee Blossom die set from Susan's new release Through the Garden Gate was cut 8 times from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper, colored using Copic Markers then shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan will have a YouTube video  soon on creating them.  Stems and leaves were cut from green cardstock and shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.

From Susan's Garden Autumn Flora Collection the Oriental Poppy Die Set was used to create 2 poppies and 1 bud using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper colored using Copic Markers and Shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video on creating these and it can be found here https://www.facebook.com/SusansGardenClub/videos/433190574264552

Kids Choice Glue was used to build bouquet inside frame.

Sentiment was from the new release Through the Garden Gate stamped in black on white cardstock then matted with black cardstock then adhered with dimensional tape.

Well I do hope that this has given you inspiration to go create a card.

Thanks for stopping by and until next time - Happy crafting!

Christine

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...

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.
