Jar of Lavender


Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I am posting a card I created using Spellbinders/Susan's Garden brand new Release Victorian Garden.  I have  chosen to use S6-207 Mason Jar & Lavender die set. 

Card base is 5" X 7" created from 110# cardstock.  Pattern paper cut 4-3/4" x 6-3/4" (P13 "Till we meet again -05" used here) adhered using Double Sided Adhesive.

Window was cut from a wood print cardstock using Say It With Stamps and Dies by Becky Moore.  I did a little water color scene and cut to fit behind window along with a piece of clear cardstock.

I did 4 stems of Lavender.  Susan's YouTube video for creating the Lavender found  here.

Using clear cardstock I cut 2 Mason Jars colored back of 1 and front of the other with blue alcohol marker.  I added the stems between the jars and adhered the 2 jars together leaving top open using Bearly Art Glue and clipping together to dry.  I bent the jar a little with my fingers to get it to curve a bit.  I used Kids Choice Glue on very edges ( no glue on the top) to adhere to card front.

The sentiment is from Garden Gate Collection stamped on white cardstock using black ink the die cut then cut a second circle a little larger.  they are adhered together with dimensional tape then adhered to card front.

Well I hope that you have been inspired and you will make your own card.  Be sure to check out Susan's new release called Victorian Garden along with all here other wonderful dies at Spellbinders.

Thank you for stopping by today and until next time - Happy creating!

Christine

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...
