Ornamental Kale & Autumn Hydrangea

 


Hello my crafty friends!

It has been a while I have been very busy out in my yard.  Weather here in Central Maine has been crazy and our summer season is short.

Today I have a card for you that features one of Spellbinders Susan's Garden newest release Snow Garden the SDS-187 Ornamental Kale / Cabbage along with S4-1073 Autumn Hydrangea from the Autumn Flora Collection and S4-1113 Winter Berry from Holiday Collection.

Card Base - 6" X 6" tent fold

Pink mat cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

White mat cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" then embossed using Creative Expressions EF3D-056 Honeycomb Trellis embossing folder.  Mat adhered to card front Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

The black medallion was cut from black cardstock using Spellbinders S5-431 Picot Petite Circles and adhered to card front using dimensional tape.

Ornamental Kales was cut from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper colored with Olo Markers.  They were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit  and assembled using Susan's YouTube instructions found here.

Two Autumn Hydrangeas were cut from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper that I had rubbed several colors of Distress Ink on (front and back of paper).  The leaves and bases for hydrangea were cut from green cardstock.  All were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Susan's YouTube video for guidance which can be found here.

Winterberry was cut from green cardstock then shaded and shaped.  See Susan's YouTube video found here.  Note:  I use the little Styrofoam balls colored with alcohol ink instead of the Nuvo Drops.

I do hope you have enjoyed my post today and that I have inspired you to create your own card.

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...

Family Hydrangeas

Hello My Crafty Friends, Today I have another card for you that I created,  my inspiration actually being bouquet of dried hydrangeas that sits on my dresser in an old antique vase.  The hydrangeas are ones that grow across the front of my house they are called Bobo.  These hydrangeas have been on my dresser since I cut them last fall and one day as I looked at them my inspiration hit me. 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. Step 2   Cut colored cardstock 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" using Oval die set ( Susan's Garden Notes Fitted Frame It used here) choose oval one size smaller than what you want for opening - die cut oval in cardstock keeping it close to top.    Cut Ivory cardstock 4-1/2" X 6-1/2"  Using next size up oval die cut oval adhere ivory on top of colored using Clear Doubl...
