Spellbinders Hello Blooms Stencil and Die Card…

Hello friends and cardmakers!  A super fun card to share with you today!  Have you tried the new stencils like this?   I don’t know why but it’s so satisfying to color in this clean and simple way!  Fast too!

I used Distress Oxide inks, Peacock Feathers, Pine Needles, Abandoned Coral, Mowed Lawn, Rustic Wilderness and Ground Espresso with blending brushes through the stencil.  I cleaned the stencil between colors.

For the background, I ran the A2 size Spellbinders Simply Perfect Florets Embossing Folder through the die cut machine and trimmed it down and matted it with thin mounting tape to an A2 White cardbase.  So cute!  I love this folder and it matches this floral so well!

I LOVE this script hello die that is included with the coordinating die set!  I did it up white on white…pleasing to my eye! lol

I did my coloring through the stencil first but now that I’ve done it once, next time I’m going to die cut a  white panel, keep the die cut in the panel, then do the coloring through the stencil so I can get the margins better.  I had to do a little trimming after I die cut because the white margin was more in a few places.

I used the large Wendy Vecchi Make Art station to hold things in place.

Memory Box Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder Birthday Card…

Hi everyone!  Today I’m sharing a card I made with the NEW Memory Box 3D Toolbox 3D Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies.

It’s so neat that you can die cut, then put the cuts into the folder to get all this detail!

I was inspired by Memory Box Dave’s card HERE.  It’s such a great design I pretty much copied it!

So fun!  Our grandson Rogan’s 9th birthday is today and he’s a great help with work around the house.  Of course boys love tools and knives!

I used the Memory Box Wooden Alpha Dies for his name.

Happy Birthday sentiment is white heat embossed on red with the Memory Box Best Life Typewriter Sentiments. It’s from 2019 and doesn’t look like it’s available anymore.  This would work also…Banner Greetings.

I used some Silver Foil and Glossy Black cardstocks for tool parts and Gathered Twigs Distress ink and the mini ink blending tool to age the Memory Box wood grain cardstock and kraft cardstock.

Everything is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love, linked below, except for the little red happy birthday sentiment.

This card fits in a #10 business size envelope but it’s not as long as the usual slimline card.  It’s 3 ¾ in.  x  8 ¼ in.

Can You Handle the Pressure? – Anything goes but must use an embossing folder

Two Grad Cards with Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club…

Hi cardmakers and friends!  Some fun cards that came together fast.  I was so glad the club kit has birthday and graduation sentiment banners!

A2 size cardbase with a panel on top… die cut all the parts…you even get the cloud dies in the set!  It’s such a good deal for $15!  You can purchase later but the price is $27!

Sign up for the club is happening HERE for a few more days!

One of our grandsons when he was a toddler loved lining up his airplanes like a lot of boys line up cars!  So cute! Now he loves fishing, playing the piano and drums….and swimming and and and! lol  Airplanes always make me remember this about him.

The dies in this kit make lines to follow where the pieces go!  THAT is so great!  Helpful!  Speeds it up!

The words in the banners are such a neat look!

I used my favorite double sided mounting tape to adhere the die cuts to the card.  The clouds are glued flat.

I had a lot of pictures for this first card… second card I only have two. So keep scrolling! lol

Basically the same thing only Slimline size…matte gold and matte silver scrap pieces for the airplane.

I love the clean and simple approach with the dark medium blue sky! So fun!

My daughters needed 7 grad cards so these 2 will go with 5 others I made for them. So fun!  I love it when I get to use my supplies!

Thank you so much for stopping by and before you go I better tell you about the SALE Spellbinders has going on! Some wonderful products to choose from!   So glad we can order online since Hobby Lobby quit carrying them.

Have a good rest of the week!

Memory Box Magnolia Blossom Trio and Vibrant Leaf Corner Card…

Hello! I had fun making some more magnolias this week!  Memory Box dies are so awesome to work with!

I used some old Bazzill cardstocks to get two tones but you could easy color the little pieces to get the same efect.

I ended up with a lot of pictures again…

I think this piece of pattern paper I used for the background is my favorite from the New Magnolia Grove 6×6 paper pad.

Not much to tell about this card… die cut, glue, hot foil and adhere the panel to an A2 cardbase.

I don’t know why but I really like this card!  The combination of the pretty papers, see the plaid from the NEW Magnolia Plaid 6×6 pad that I hot foiled and die cut with the Rectnalge Double Border Hot Foil Plate and A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set, and the pretty flowers with the Leaf corners…. love!

Unusual colors for me too…

Thinking about sending cards reminds me of the ones I need to get in the mail!  Do you have a pile on your desk that needs to go out too?

I hope this brings a little Spring beauty to your day!  It does to mine!

poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set Card…

Hello everyone! It’s Geranium season for hanging baskets around here!  Ferns on the front porch and Geraniums on the back porch.

They always inspire me to make a Geranium card!

This poppystamps Floral Vase Pop Up Easel is so cute!  It’s not huge, fits in an A2 size envelope but it’s slim and so dainty size wise.  I love it!

There’s not much to tell about it!  You just die cut the pieces, glue them together and onto the card!  I did use my favorite thin mounting tape for the vase and the sentiments.

I wrapped a little twine on it… can I make a card without twine?! lol

So sweet and cute with so many different flower dies in the set you can make any flower you want!

I used poppystamps Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil and Cut die set and Memory Box Cardstock paper pads.

poppystamps easel cards are all so fun and easy and I love that they are easy to display too!  HERE‘s the Geranium I made last year with the basket easel card die set.
