Gardenia Faceted Diamond Card


T

Hello my crafty friends!

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving we sure did.  

Today I have created a card for you that Susan Tierney-Cockburn did on her "Facebook Live" November 17th.  The video for creating card base can be found here

From Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper SCS-122 using Spellbinders Susan's Gardenia S4-1190 I cut 1 complete Gardenia and 2 next to largest petals for bud.  Several leaves were cut and colored with Copic Markers.  YouTube video for creating the Gardenia which is found here

From green cardstock I cut 3 Eucalyptus using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Foliage & Ladybug S4-1079 die set then shaded and shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit T-021.

From gold mirror card and using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Winter Bough & Evergreen Shrubs die set cut 2 of the Winter Bough.  Lay right side down on Leaf Mat and use the Leaf Tool from the Ultimate Tool Kit and draw lines down middle of branches then using Tweezers from Ultimate Tool Kit to bend branches to give  a little dimension.

The center shape where your arrangement goes can be most any shape so I chose Hexagon.  From gold mirror card I cut next to largest hexagon in my die set and pattern paper from the next size down.
Adhere the 2 together using Bearly Art Glue.  Attach to acetate in center opening of card front.

Using Kids Choice Glue build your arrangement starting with the Winter Boughs then Eucalyptus and finishing with Gardenia, bud and leaves.  Don't forget your Ladybug!

Sure hope that this has inspired you to create your own card which can be done for any occasion.

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...

A Breath of Spring

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...

Inspiration: Here is how it was created. Step 1   Card base is 5" X 7 - I used Tonic Studios Craft Perfect Ivory White Card Blanks.  These card blanks are very nice quality also com in white and other sizes.
