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.

Thank you for visiting my blog today, your company is much appreciated.

Never Stop Dreaming

I have another four cards that I created with the Simple Stories Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe, I expect you are getting a little bored with these!

I used the cover sheet to create the background on my first card along with a punched border, the focal image and embellishments are all from the sticker sheet.

 

For this card I used one of the tags, some of the papers and some stickers - I fussy cut the butterfly from one of the papers, there is a whole sheet full of butterflies.

This time I used two more of the tags, some ephemera and more fussy cut butterflies.

For my final card I used more ephemera and some stickers.

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

Deckside Dreams

I am sharing two more cards that I created when I took part in the Spellbinders Weekender 2025, this time we used the Deckside Dreams die set.

The first card was created with Suzanne Hue, a new designer to me - she was very enthusiastic and funny, I will certainly be checking out her YouTube channel.

We cut all of the pieces for the cruise ship from Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock that was provided with the Weekender kit, I love the colour combination on this card.  The sentiment is from the Escape the Ordinary Sentiments.

The second card was created with Kim Kesti, Kim hosts the event and I have to say she does a great job.  This time we created the background with the Blue Shimmer Spray that was part of the collection, we spritzed the cardstock and then inked through the Villa Tiles stencil.  The ship was then cut from the ColorWheel Cardstock along with the sentiment from the Dolce Vita Banner Dies.

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.

Believe in Yourself

I have another four cards created with the Simple Stories - Simple Vintage Flower Shoppe collection.

This time all four of my cards feature a bicycle, on this card I have used a topper from the collection along with a sentiment from the sticker sheet and three of the papers.

For this card I created a photo frame using a rectangle die and a rounded corner square die along with stickers from the sticker sheet.

 

This card features another of the toppers, a fishtail flag cut from one of the Vintage Basics papers and flowers from the cardstock pieces.

On my final card the bicycle is from the cardstock pieces, the sentiment and flowers are from the sticker sheet and I have also added a couple of fishtail banners.  All of my cards are embellished with fussy cut butterflies.

Bye for now, hopefully I will catch you again soon.
