Crocus in a Tea Cup



Hi my crafty friends!

Today's card I have created is a simple 6" X 6" tent fold card and I used Spellbinders Susan's Garden Crocus from the new release Snow Garden.  The Crocus are in the Tea Cup from the Victorian Garden Collection.

Card base is 6" square with black mat cut at 5-3/4' x 5-3/4" attached to card front using clear double sided adhesive.  Second mat is white cardstock cut 5-1/2" X 5-1/2" then embossed with swiss dot embossing folder and attached using clear double sided adhesive.  Large circle was cut from black cardstock using Spellbinders Circle Die set then embossed using Lisa Horton 3D Embossing Folder Padded Quilt LHCEF003 then added to card front using dimensional tape.

Tea Cup was cut from 100# black cardstock using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Victorian Tea Cup S4-1277 from the Victorian Garden .  I painted it with Tim Holtz White Crackle Paint then clear embossed once paint was dry.  Saucer and Tea Cup were attached using Kids Choice Glue leaving top of Tea Cup open. Susan has a YouTube video for creating the Tea Cup which can be found here I also put a piece of dimensional tape in center back of Tea Cup.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden Crocus S2-375 was cut 9 times from Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and cut a bunch of leaves from watercolor paper.  I used a combo of Olo Markers and Copic Markers to color everything and shaped everything using Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has YouTube video for creating the Crocus which can be found here  Crocus were added to Tea Cup using Kids Choice Glue.

I hope that this has been inspirational and you will make your own card!

Thank you 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...
