Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire




Hello my crafty friends!

Today is another card that was a special order and it combines my 2 favorite die designers Susan Teirney-Cockburn for her realistic flowers and Karen Burniston for her fun and clever pop ups.

My card is a slim line card 4" X 9" cut from 110# white cardstock.  Patterned paper was cut 3-3/4" X 8-3/4" adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

For inside of card I chose patterned paper to use as wall paper and flooring.  These were cut 3-3/4" X 8-3/4" and adhered t card using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.  

The following Karen Burniston dies were used for Fireplace and accessories

1210 Fireplace Pop Up
1211 Fireplace Extras 1
1212 Fireplace Extras 2

To create the Fireplace I used Karen Burniston's YouTube video which you can find here.

The Tree, Tree Skirt and berry garland were all from my stash then small adhesive backed gems were used to decorate tree.

To light up candles and fire in fireplace I added Pear Blossom EZ-Lights - 1 set with 3 lights.  I put 1 light behind the candles and 2 lights behind the fire in fireplace.  I don't have any instructions on how to add the lights I just worked it out as I went along.  I got the idea of the lights from a card that Lois Gray Bak of Karen's Design Team did.

Karen Burniston 1055 Cross Hatch Oval dies were used to create the rug.  "Press Here" was printed from computer.

Spellbinders Susan's Garden S4-1109 Poinsettia Die from Holiday Collection was used for front flower along with S4-1114 Winter Bough.
Spellbinders Susan's Specialty Paper and Deluxe Tool Kit were used to create flower following Susan's YouTube video found here.  

Poinsettia and branches were added to card front using Kids Choice Glue.

Karen Burniston 1065 Merry Christmas and 1177 Merry Christmas Shadow were cut and adhered to card front.

This was a fun card to create and I have so many ideas in my head to create more of these cards. I hope you have enjoyed my card and make your own.

Thanks 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...

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...
