Bowl of Carnations

 



Hello My Crafty Friends,

Today I have a card I have created for you using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Carnation S4-1325 from the Through the Arbor release and arranged them in a bowl I created using Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals S5-562 die set ( Susan Tierney-Cockburn did her Facebook Live April 3rd on creating vessels from different die shapes).  Susan's video can be found here

My card is  5" X 7" created from 100# white cardstock.  The first mat is 4-3/4" X 6-3/4" hot pink glitter cardstock adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.  The next mat is black cardstock cut 4-1/2" X 6-1/2" then embossed using Lisa Horton 3D Embossing Folder LHCEF132 Sandstone Wall.  Once embossed I used a white (stamp pad was quite dried up) stamp pad rubbed it over entire surface then adhered to card front using Bearly Art Glue.

The bowl was cut from watercolor paper using Spellbinders Essential Stylish Ovals S5-562.  I embossed the bowl part using Lisa Horton's 3D Embossing Folder LHCEF185 Mottled Leaves.  I attached smaller piece to bottom of bowl using Bearly Art Glue.  I used Distress Ink Old Paper to lightly rub over surface then I covered the entire front with Versamark then added Ultra Thick Embossing Powder over front then heat embossed.  Dimensional Dots were adhered to the center back and Kids Choice Glue was used sides and bottom leaving top open then adhere to lower card front. 

Using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper I cut 3 Spellbinders Susan's Garden Carnation S4-1325 and colored with alcohol markers.  They were shaped using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan has a YouTube video on how to create the Carnations which can be found here.  Design Team Member Dorothy Mutafopulos also did an updated video  which can be found here.

I created 3 stems of Eucalyptus using Spellbinders Susan's Garden S4-1278 from the Victorian Garden Foliage set Susan's video for creating this can be found here

Berry Branches were created using Spellbinders Susan's Garden Autumn Foliage S4-1320 from the Birds & Bees Collection.

Kids Choice Glue was used to build bouquet in the bowl.

This Card could be used for many different occasions.

Thank you for stopping by I do hope I have inspired you to create your own card.

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...

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...
