Heart Full of Pansies



Hello My Crafty Friends!

Today I have a card I created using the Pansy from Spellbinders / Susan's Garden new collection called Painter's Garden.  The Pansy is such a sweet delicate flower and comes in many lovely colors.

My card is a 5" X 7" card base from 110# cardstock with a couple of mats.  The pink mat is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" with a heart cut in center.  I used 2 heart dies using the smaller of the 2 on the pink mat.  The top white mat is 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" with larger heart cut out.   I actually cut the heart into white mat first so I could line up the hearts.  I laid the white mat with heart cutout over the pink mat then centered my smaller heart die in heart cutout of the white mat and taped it in position.  After removing white mat I run the pink mat with die through cutting machine.  The white mat was then embossed.  Pink mat was adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Next the white mat was adhered to pink mat using Bearly Art Glue so I had some wiggle room to place white mat over pink mat evenly.  Lace heart was cut from Spellbinders Lace Heart set S5-204 added to center of heart on card front using dimensional tape. (it is hard to see but it is there)

Using the Pansy die set from the Painter's Garden Collection I cut 5 pansies and leaves from Susan's Specialty Paper SCS-122 then colored with alcohol markers (Olo markers used here various colors.  These markers are awesome.) Using Susan's Ultimate Tool Kit T021 flowers were shaped then assembled using Kids Choice Glue.  Susan has YouTube video for creating the pansy which can be found here.  Pansies were arranged to card front adhering with Kids Choice Glue.

Ivy from Spring Flora Collection Fern & Ivy S4-1086 was cut from Susan's Specialty Paper colored and shaped.  Ivy was cut apart and adhered to card front.  

Berry Branch from Autumn Flora Foliage & Ladybug set S4-1079 was cut twice from green cardstock foam balls colored with acrylic paint were used for the berries adhered to branch using Bearly Art Glue.  Fine point pen was used to add black dots on berries.  Branches were cut apart and added to card front using Kids Choice Glue.
Pansy leaves were added to bouquet using Kids Choice Glue.

Sentiment from Spring Flora Quotes was stamped on white cardstock using black ink then adhered to pink mat adhered to card front using Dimensional Tape.

Thanks for stopping by today I so hope it has been inspirational and you will go create a card.

Until next time - Happy Creating!

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...
