Button Mum Creative Fold Card




Hello My Crafty Friends! 

Today I have a "Creative Fold" Card for you today.  Susan Tierney-Cockburn did it October 26th on her Garden Club Live.  My card in a card I did as a diamond shape.  I haven't decided on type of card it will be so I have left off sentiment.

For the card base here is a link to Susan's Live for creating.  https://www.facebook.com/SusansGardenClub/videos/1054692738535662

The white cardstock layer was embossed using Spellbinders Essential Diamonds S5-525.

Using Spellbinders Susan's Garden S4-1074 Button & Daisy Mum die set cut 3 Button Mums from Susan's Specialty Paper.  Mine have been colored for a while so I can't remember which Copic Markers I used.  They were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit.  You can find Susan's YouTube Video for creating Button Mums here.

I used 2 different green cardstock to cut the Berry Branch and the Eucalyptus from Spellbinders Susan's Garden die setS4-1079  Foliage & Ladybug.  Ink was used to shade foliage and white PanPastel was used on Eucalyptus.  Berries were little Styrofoam balls colored with acrylic paint.

Kids Choice Glue was used to adhere the foliage and flowers to card front.

The inner diamond card was created using Spellbinders Essential Diamond Dies choosing size that fit sin card.  I used white cardstock folded in half a little bigger than size die I chose.  I placed die on cardstock with left edge of die to left of fold so that it doesn't cut through then you have a hinge for card.  Card was adhered to inner card using Double Sided Adhesive.  A mini hook & loop was used for a closure.

Hopefully I have inspired you to create your own card it is a card that can be made for any occasion.

Thanks for stopping by today 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...
