Winter Wishes Helleborus


Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a simple card for you created using Helleborus die set and Sentiment stamp from  Spellbinders Susan's Garden newest release Winter Garden.

My card is a 6" X 6" tent fold card created from white 110# cardstock.
Gold cardstock was cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" added to card front using Bearly Art Glue.
Pattern paper (P13 Cosy Winter) cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2 " added to card front using Bearly Art Glue

Sentiment from the new Winter Garden Release was stamped on white cardstock using black ink.  It was die cut from using a die set I have in my stash.  The die the next size up was used to cut gold cardstock to back the sentiment.  Bearly Art Glue was used to adhere the 2 together.  Dimensional tape used to adhere to upper right corner of card.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Gathering Basket  from Holiday Release was cut twice from brown cardstock adhered together then I embossed with an old Darice Embossing Folder - Basket Weave.
A couple of dimensional dots were adhered to the center back of basket then glue was added around the edges then adhered to lower left of card front.

5 Helleborus were cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper us die set from the new Winter Garden Collection.  Copic markers R59 and R37 were used to color 3 flowers plus 2 buds and YG17 was used on center of 2 flowers. 1 white bud was created.  Leaves were colored using Copic Markers YG17 & YG67.  All were shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  Spellbinders should have a video up on YouTube for these flowers very soon.

! piece of White Pine from Winter Garden collection was cut from Susan's Specialty Paper then colored using Copic Markers.  This was shaped then cut into pieces and added to basket using Kids Choice Glue.

Using Kids Choice Glue add the Helleborus and leaves.  Lastly add the sweet little ladybug.

I so hope that my card has been an inspiration to you and you will try your hand at creating this simple card.

Thanks for stopping by 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...

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...
