In Full Bloom

I'm back with two more cards that I created with the Spellbinders February 2024 Club Kit, I always get the Deluxe Caboodle, it includes all ten club options plus an additional monthly bonus item - it's such great value.

I have used the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month along with the Stencil of the Month on my first card, I added a little vellum to the back of the die cut stamp before I adhered it to the stenciled background using foam pads.

For my second card I placed the die cut stamp back in the aperture and raised it up from the pink background - the sentiment is part of the stamp and die set. 

That's all for now, hopefully you will visit again soon.

A Sweet Wish

I have four more cards to share that I have created using the Rosie's Studio Bayfair Collection from Spellbinders, there is so much in this collection, you could make lots and lots of cards.

For my first card I only used one of the papers and one piece of ephemera, I created the frame with a Spellbinders die and added some vellum behind it.  The sentiment is from my stash and I just added a twine bow.

On my second card I used the Nested Postage Labels & Tag dies to create two frames and added some of the floral ephemera to each.  I created the background with two of the papers and added the floral frames using foam pads, the sentiment is from the collection.

For my third card I created a frame using the Nested Postage Labels & Tag dies, I inked the inside and then added a couple of ephemera pieces.  I placed a square of vellum behind the frame and added a sentiment and a couple of small dragonflies to embellish.

To create my final card I used the Postage Labels & Tag dies along with a Spellbinders rectangle die to create the layers using two of the papers and some vellum.  I then added some of the floral ephemera and a sentiment using foam pads, to finish I added a couple of small butterflies.

Thanks so much for visiting today, I will be back in a couple of days with some more cards.

You Haven't Aged a Day

I have another card that I created when I took part in the Spellinders Weekender 2025, we used the Ciao Bella Rub-Ons, Villa Tiles Stencil, Blue Hawaii Ink, Lemon Drop Ink and Blue Shimmer Metallic Spray.

We created the background by applying ink to the stencil and misting it with water, we also added splatter with the metallic spray - this is something quite new to me and I really enjoyed it.  We then applied the Rub-Ons to white card stock and cut them all out, everything was attached to the background using foam pads.

Happy Father's Day

I created some Father's Day cards for my youngest son to give his Dad, I always create a couple so that he has a choice.

I used the Spellbinders Toolbox Essentials, my inspiration for this card came from Emily Leiphart on the Spellbinders Blog, I have used a sentiment from Hunkydory though - this is the card that he chose.

For my second card I used the same Hunkydory sentiment but this time I created a background with the Spellbinders Splatters BetterPress Plate & Die Set from the Wildflowers Collection, the stars are part of the Hunkydory die.

Thanks so much for visiting today, I will be back in a couple of days with some more cards, I hope you will join me then.

Bloom & Grow

I have four cards to share that I have created using the Rosie's Studio Bayfair Collection from Spellbinders, there is a paper collection with 6 x 6 Papers, Cardstock Ephemera, Stickers and some dies, I have just used the paper collection for these cards.

For my first card I used two of the papers and some of the ephemera, the sentiment is from the stickers.

This time I used ephemera to create a wreath and added a sentiment from the stickers.

I used Hunkydory dies to create the frame on this card and added some ephemera and another sentiment from the stickers - the fishtail flag was cut with a Die-namics die.

On my final card I created vellum borders with the romantic Slimline Borders dies from Spellbinders and cut a scalloped circle from blue cardstock to make the sentiment stand out a bit more.

That's all for now, hopefully you will visit again soon.

Lemon Fresco

I'm back today with 3 more cards that I created when I took part in the Spellinders Weekender 2025, this time they all use the Lemon Fresco 3D Embossing Folder.

The first card was created by Jaycee Gaspar, we inked the embossing folder with Blue Hawaii ink and embossed a piece of Beeswax cardstock, we repeated this several times until the background was quite solid.  We cut some of the flowers from the Citrus Spritz die set, lightly inked the centres with the Blue Hawaii ink and added gems to the centres.  The sentiment is from the Escape the Ordinary stamp set.

The next two cards were created with Cathy Zielske.  This time we inked the embossing folder with Lemon Drop ink and used white cardstock.  The lemons and flowers are from the Citrus Spritz die set and the sentiment is from the La Dolce Vita Banner dies.

Finally we embossed Beeswax cardstock, we cut the lemon and flowers with the Citrus Spritz dies and the sentiment is from the La Dolce Vita Banner Dies.

I love al of the detail that Spellbinders include in their die sets, they even include the tiny flower centres.

Thank you so much for visiting today, I will be back in a couple of days with some more cards from this event, I hope you will join me then.

Hello Sunshine

I have two more cards to share that were created during the Spellbinders Weekender 2025, these cards feature the Under the Sun Dies.

The first card was designed by Jennifer McGuire, to create the background we lightly misted some Cosmic Sky cardstock with the Blue Shimmer Spray.  We cut the sun from ColorWheel Cardstock and Jennifer showed us how to attach it to the card so that it could spin, the sentiment was cut using the La Dolce Vita Banner Dies.

My second card was designed by Kim Kesti, for the background on this card we used some of the vellum that was included in the kit.  The sun was cut from the ColorWheel Cardstock again, the sentiment is from the La Dolce Vita Banner dies and the little flowers and leaves are from the Citrus Spritz die set.
