Quilted Sunflowers & Berries


Hello My Crafty Friends,

Fall is upon us so today I have a card for you that has Spellbinders Susan's Garden Sunflowers and Winterberry.  I have done a simple 6" X 6" Tent Fold Card .

Card Base - Created from Autumn Terra Cotta cardstock 6" X 12" scored at 6".  Dark brown cardstock was cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Copper Metallic cardstock was cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" then embossed using Lisa Horton 3D Embossing Folder - Padded Quilt adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Next I cut 4 wreaths from water color paper using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Woodland Wreath & Feathered Friends S5-454 from Holiday Collection.  I used several Copic markers to color the wreaths.  I then used large ball tool and molding mat from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit laying wreath on mat and rubbing with ball tool.  Using Kids Choice Glue off setting each layer only using glue in center of area of wreaths avoiding the little branches.  Using Kids Choice Glue adhere wreath to card front.

3 sunflowers were cut from Spellbinders Susan's Garden  Specialty Paper using Sunflower Die Set S4-1177 from Garden Favorites Collection.  Susan has YouTube Video for creating these sunflowers which can be found here.  Using Kids Choice Glue adhere sunflowers to left side of wreath.

Winterberry leaves and berry branch were cut from green cardstock using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Winterberry & Mistletoe S4-1113 set from Holiday Collection Susan has a YouTube video found here. ( I use small Styrofoam balls for berries)  Add leaves and berries to right side of wreath using Kids Choice Glue.

Sentiment from Garden Favorites Collection stamped on white cardstock and matted with terra cotta cardstock then adhered to card front using dimensional tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and hope it has been inspirational - go create a 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...
