Rose & Spirea on Double Z Fold


 


Hello My Crafty Friends!

Today I have a Double Z Fold card (this card is such a fun card to create) I created and used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Floribunda Rose (new release through the Garden Gate S5-507) Spirea ( S4-1084 Spring Flora) and Eucalyptus (S4-1079 Autumn Flora Foliage & Ladybug) to embellish it.

Double Z Fold base 

White cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 3" & 6" Fold on score lines ( 3" mountain fold 6" valley fold)

White cardstock cut 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3" & 6" (same mountain fold & valley fold)

1st Layer Measurements 

Green Cardstock

1 pc 5-3/4" square

2 pc 2-3/4" X 5-3/4"

3 pc 2-3/4" X 4-1/4"

2nd Layer Measurements

Patterned Paper (Park Lane - Southern Charm)

1 pc 5-1/2" square

2 pc 2-1/2" X 5-1/2"

3 pc 2-1/2" X 4"

3rd Layer Measurements

White cardstock Optional - sentiment and a place to write personal message

2 pc 2-1/4" X 3-3/4" 

Clear Double Sided Adhesive was used to attach all layers.  If doing Sentiment and personal note pieces then add that before adhering those pieces.

Susan has a tutorial on her Garden Club Facebook page which you can find here.

Susan's Garden Specialty Paper was used for all flowers and foliage colored with Copic Markers and shaped using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube Videos for creating all of these.  She also has done a Facebook "Live" on the Floribunda Rose with some extra tips from Selma Stevenson you can find that here.

For the rose and buds I colored with Copic markers R22 & R24 Leaves I forgot to write down colors I used.  For the Eucalyptus I use Copic BG96 and then used white PanPastels lightly over it.

Before adhering everything down I tried it several different ways taking pictures of all it really helps.  I look back through the pictures and decide which layout of flowers and foliage is most pleasing to my eye then using Kids Choice Glue I attach everything.


Thanks for stopping by today I sure hope I have given you some inspiration to create your own card.

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...
