Basket Full of Geraniums for Christmas - Spellbinders (with video)



Spellbinders rocks flower dies like no one else thanks to the amazing design creations of Susan Tierney-Cockburn and her Garden Club collection.  

Today I am featuring a basket of geraniums for Christmas.  Yes - I realize geraniums are not traditionally Christmas florals BUT who cares.  I love it!

Video Instructions
Here is a quick video from Spellbinders showing assembly.  




In Susan's video, she references the tools she uses to help create the flowers.  Here are the tools she uses: Spellbinders - Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit. While the tool set is not a necessity for making flowers, it's fun to follow along with Susan in the videos.  
Pop this on your Christmas wish list and have your family buy it for you.

Paper and Embellishments
Here is a shout out to the paper and the embellishments used:  

Extra Finishing Touches
My card has some finishing touches that give it the completed frosty winter look.  After the flowers were assembled, I added some little red centers to each with the "confetti" pieces from Buttons Galore and More - Doo Dadz Mimosa (shown in red below).  

Doo Dadz  are beautiful shimmery collections of gems, confetti and iridescent sprinkles.  The gems are flat sided with facets for the cool crystal effect.  And the flat side is perfect for adding to projects, cards, inside shakers.  

I also used Buttons Galore and More's Polar Wind  Doo Dadz  to decorate the snow and the top of the card for a touch more sparkle. 


Now for the "snow".  I dabbled the Stamperia ARCTIC SNOW Glitter Paste on the petals , leaves, basket and card for the frosty effect.  This is just fun stuff.

Today we are celebrating Spellbinders fun and fabulous Club kits for January.  My three gray kitty cats are helping me showcase the Large Die of the Month  accented by the stamp set from Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month  for January.  It's a fun way to combine the clubs and get more value for your money.    

Frankly the cats like snow more than I do.  Enjoy my three little Grays having fun in the snow with their snowballs.

Coloring the Kitty Stamp
The darling kitties were created using the stamp set from the Spellbinders Card Kit of the Month  for January.  The images were stamped onto watercolor paper using Spellbinders/ Fun Stampers Journey Spellbinders Black Licorice True Color Fusion Ink Pad and colored using Spellbinders / Fun Stampers Journey Color Splash Watercolor Pencils.

I love the Black Licorice Fusion ink for watercoloring because it dries quickly leaving a crisp fresh look and doesn't bleed with the watercolors.
