Framed Delphinium Slimline Card


Hello my crafty friends!

So looking forward to spring as I am sure you all are but until then I am paper gardening.

My latest flower from Spellbinders Susan's Garden "Through the Arbor" is the beautiful Delphinium S4-1326 a stately flower in the garden.  To frame the beautiful Delphinium I used Spellbinders Half Slimline Oval.S4-1198.

Card base is a 4" X 9" created from 100# white cardstock.  Black cardstock mat is 8-1/2" X 3-1/2" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  Half Slimline Oval was cut from White cardstock twice then I laid it on sheets of sticky dots to pick up adhesive (you could also add double sided adhesive to back of cardstock before die cutting) then adhered to black mat.

Next I cut the Delphinium flowers from Spellbinders Susan's Garden Specialty Paper, colored with alcohol inks ( I used OLO V0.3 & V0.4) and shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit. Leaves and stems were cut from Watercolor Paper. Susan's YouTube video for creating this beautiful flower can be found here.
I built the flower directly on my card using Kids Choice Glue.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and I so hope I have inspired you to create in your paper garden.

The new release should be at the retailers now in the US.

Until next time - Happy Creating!

    Absolutely amazingly incredibly stunning Christine, I simply admire this with the black and white background and stunning delphinium. I don't have the OLO markers so hope my copics can match the vibrancy of this colour x

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...
