Cactus Dahlia and Garden Lantern


Good Morning Paper Gardeners!  

Today I have a card designed using a variety of Susan's Garden die sets.  Coming out soon in the US, is Susan's new Summer Flora collection.  From that collection I used the new Cactus Dahlia.  From Susan's Christmas Release, I used the Garden Lantern die set and the Woodland Wreath & Feathered Friends die sets.  Spellbinders now has Susan's Christmas Release dies and stamp set available.  I have linked these products below.

This is a 6-inch square card.  The gingham design  paper is from The Paper Boutique-Bumblebee's Dance paper pad.  I used the Scorboard to score a line 1/8 inch around the edges.  It was attached to the card front.

The Garden Lantern die set was used to create the white and silver trimmed lantern.  I used Tonic specialty papers for the roof and design inside the lantern.  Silver metallic cardstock used for the trim.  

The Foliage and Ladybug die set was used to die cut the ferns and the little ladybug that is attached on a leaf at the bottom of the card.  

The Spirea die set was used for the pink spirea.  The flowers were die cut using Susan's Specialty white card stock that was sponged light pink prior to die cutting.  A fine tip pink pen was used to add a dot in the center of each little flower.

The Winterberry & Mistletoe die set was used to die cut the berry branch.  White bean bag filler was used for the white berries.  A fine tip black pen was used to add dot on end of each berry.

The Cactus Dahlia die set, from Susan's Summer Release, was used to create three different dahlia flowers.  This is such a beautiful flower!  The flowers were shaped using tools from Susan's new Deluxe Tool Kit and assembled using Bearly Art Glue.

The Ferns & Ivy die set was used to die cut the ivy which is along the bottom of the arrangement.

The Woodland Wreath & Feathered Friends die set was used to die cut the bird.  It was colored by sponging on blue ink and very, very light grey ink on the chest.  

The little bee die is in one of the new summer release die sets.



Susan's Christmas release  from Spellbinders is now linked below along with the other die sets I used to create this card.
