Happy 98th


 

Hello My Crafty Friends!

Today my card is one I created for a dear special rug hooking friend who turned 98.  Once again I created the simple card using Spellbinders Susan's Garden S3-511 Landscape Rose from the Botanical Garden Release and this time I have used S3-445 Bee Blossom from the Garden Gate Release.  I also used die set S4-1079  Foliage & Lady Bug from Autumn Flora Release for the Berry Branches.

Card base is 6" X 6"  created from 110# white cardstock.  I made it a tent fold but obviously side fold would work as well.  My patterned paper is P-13 Let Your Creativity Bloom 03 which I cut 5-3/4" X 5-3/4" square adhered to card front using Clear Double Sided Adhesive.

The Landscape Rose and Bee Blossom were cut from Susan's Specialty Paper and shaped with her Deluxe Tool Kit.  Susan's YouTube Video for the rose can be found here and the Bee Blossom here.
Berry Branches were cut from watercolor paper colored with alcohol markers and shaped using Susan's Deluxe Tool Kit.  The berries (small died Styrofoam balls) were added to branches using Kids Choice Glue. 

My sentiment (old CTMH stamp) was stamped on white cardstock with black ink and cut out with a scalloped circle die.  Sentiment was adhered to card front using dimensional tape.  

For the inside I typed sentiment on computer and printed on cardstock die cut with scalloped circle die and the cut a larger scallop circle from pink cardstock to mat sentiment on.  Clear Double Sided Adhesive was used to adhere sentiment to inside of card.

This card could be used for most any occasion and hope that I have inspired you today to make your own version of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today 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...
