Survivor Slimline




Hi my crafty friends!

Today I have a "Survivor card I created.  It is another slimline card adorned with Susan's Garden flowers.  Embossing folder is Spellbinders 3D slimline embossing folder. 

White 110# cardstock cut 8" X 9" scored at 4" folded in half.  Designer paper ( I used Mintay Peony Garden MT-PEO-02 ) cut 3-3/4" X 8-3/4" and adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  White embossed mat was cut from white card stock 3" X 8" embossed (sorry it has no info on it other than E3D-087 which does not show up on Spellbinder site).  Once embossed it was adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

Susan's Garden Arrow Wood Viburnum S3-516 from Winters Grace Release, Pom Pom Dahlia S4-1317 from Birds & Bees release and Queen Anne's Lace S4-1327 from Through the Arbor release were cut, colored and shaped using Susan's Garden Specialty Paper and Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit and created using Susan's YouTube videos which can are linked below.

Pom Pom Dahlia
Queen Anne's Lace

Once I had created all components for my bouquet I arranged the bouquet and attached to lower half of card using Kids Choice Glue leaving room at top for sentiment.

Stampendous S6-218 Fran's Frames set was used to cut out sentiment that I stamped in black on white cardstock added to card top using dimensional tape.  Another sentiment stamped with black ink inside of card.

Another card for someone that has gone through the journey and come out the other side.  I do hope it inspires you to create your own card.  It does my heart good to hopefully put a smile on someone's face for a little while.

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...
