Winter Bough Glimmer

Good Morning,

I want to let you know that Susan's new Snow Garden Release will be available tomorrow at Spellbinders.  I have links below for this release and other products I use.  I will receive a small commission if you use the links below.  I want to thank you in advance for your support.  

This morning, Susan created a snow globe shaker card on her Susan's Garden Live Video.  I used that idea for this card.  To be truthful, I actually created a snow globe just like her instructions and was not happy with it so started over and created a snow globe that is not a shaker card.

Using her new Winter Bough Glimmer plate, I sliver foiled it on a light green mirror cardstock.  A piece of silver mirror card stock was used to die cut the circle to go around the outside of the foiled design.  These pieces were glued to a piece of Anna Griffin design paper.  A base was created out of gold mirror cardstock following Susan's instructions.  (I can't figure out why that base doesn't look straight in the picture.  It is straight on the real card.)

Susan's American Holly die set was used to create the holly leaves.  They were colored green, shaped and then glazed for the shiny appearance that holly leaves have.  This holly looks so realistic.

The Hemlock, Cones, and Chickadee die set was used to die cut the hemlock.  To make it realistic, each needle was cut in half.  The same die set was used to create the cute little pine cones.  If you need help in creating these, you can watch Susan's Spellbinders, YouTube video.  The little Chickadee was die cut, colored and added with dimensional tape.  

Susan's Poinsettia die set, from her Holiday Flora release last year, was used to create a red poinsettia.  It was die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock, shaped using her Flower Tool Kit and assembled using Beacon Kids Choice Glue.  Styrofoam balls were colored using Copic Refill Ink and added to the center of the poinsettia.  

For some reason I could not download the link for her video today, but you can go to Face book and search for Susan's Garden Club 2.
