Framed Spider Mum Eucalyptus & Berries





Hello my crafty friends!

Today I have another card using a couple of Spellbinders/Susan's Garden newest release Victorian Garden.  I have used S5-576 Spider Mum and S4-1278 Victorian Foliage along with S4-1079 Foliage & Ladybug from Autumn Flora Collection.  Spellbinders S5-394 Nobel Chatelaine was used to create corner pieces.  Paper is P13- Farm Sweet Farm -03.

Card base and frame is 6" X 6"

Susan has done the frame on her Facebook Live and here is a link.  I believe Susan's frame was 8" X 8" so here are the dimensions I used for my 6" X 6".  I cut 4 pieces 6" X 3-1/4" and scored all at 3/4", 
1-1/4", 2", 2-1/2"  When making the cut outs on each piece I came down 3/4" instead of 1".   From white cardstock with double sided adhesive decorative pieces were cut using a die from Spellbinders S5-394 Nobel Chatelaine then cut in half and trimmed to make corner pieces then attached to frame corners.  Completed frame was attached to 6" X 6" card base.

Spider Mum & Eucalyptus were cut from Susan's Specialty Paper colored with alcohol markers and shaped with Susan's Ultimate tool Kit.  Susan's How to YouTube video found here.  Berry Branch was cut from green cardstock shaded with ink and shaped a little using Susan's Ultimate Tool Kit.  For the berries I have used small Styrofoam balls colored with acrylic paint for the berries.  YouTube video for Berry Branch can be found here.

Flowers and Foliage were arranged on card frame adhered using Kids Choice Glue.

So hope that this has been an inspiration and you will check out all of Susan's dies at Spellbinders and will make your own card.

Thanks for stopping by and 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...

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...
