Second layer (patterned paper Bloom With Grace Collection from Crafters Companion) is 2 pcs 2-1/2 X 5-1/2 and 1 pc 5-1/2" square. Layers were added to card base using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  1 pc white 110# cardstock 4-1/2" X 9" scored at 3" and 6" fold mountain and valley.  Black cardstock cut 2-3/4" X 4-1/4 " 2 pcs add to middle and right panels using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Patterned paper cut at 2-1/2" X 4" 2 pcs adhered to black panels.  Place left panel to card front approximately 1-1/2" in from left edge and even space top & bottom adhere.  Add adhesive to back of right panel fold up inner piece and fold card making sure right panel adheres to inside of card.

Spellbinders Candlewick Rectangles  S5-399 were used to cut a white rectangle from black cardstock cut the decorative frame.  adhere black frame over white rectangle.  Adhere to card front using adhesive to just left side centering rectangle on card.

Using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and Autumn Hydrangea die set S4-1073 from Autumn Flora Collection die cut 2 hydrangeas and leaves and flower base from green cardstock.  Using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit shape all.  Hydrangea leaves were adhered down first then Hydrangea bases adhered down and then add petals.  PanPastels yellow ochre tint and permanent red tint were used to add a small amount of color to the petals once glue has dried then add prills in center of each flower.  Next Bee Blossom S3-445 from Garden Gate Collection was cut from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper then colored with Copic Markers.V99, RV17 and RV52.  Shape using Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.  Add to card front.  Susan has YouTube videos for creating the hydrangea found here and Bee Blossom here

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...
