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.

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

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.

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.

Beyond the Door

I recently took part in the Spellbinders Weekender 2025, I love these events - I took part in the 2024 event as well.

This is my favourite card from the event, it was designed by Jennifer McGuire and is a Z-fold design.

We began by partially inking the top left and bottom right corners of the coloured card base using the Villa Tiles Stencil.

We used the Beyond the Door dies to create the arch door and sea view, the flowers and greenery are also part of the die set.  Finally we used the Escape the Ordinary Sentiment stamps to create the heat embossed sentiment strip.

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.
