Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club…

Hi everyone!  Two pink cards in a row!  That’s amazing for me! Paper flowers coming at ya!

I started with the NEW Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club set (linked below). There’s a lot of dies in these sets.  This versatile set can be used as a complete background panel, a background panel with the outside edge die cut around the pointy pattern, a frame with the center and the outside die cut or a frame with just the inside die cut out!  That’s a lot of bang for your buck!

I used it as a complete background with the decorative pattern die cut into it.

There’s four sentiment sets too! The outline image and the layer!  So pretty too!

I decided to add some flowers and an extra little sentiment near the bottom.

I die cut a bunch of the Mini Blooms and Sprigs set… fun little flowers to make bouquets with.

Super fun Spring-y A2 size card that’s really fun IRL!  I’m happy with it!  YAY!

Memory Box and poppystamp Cards…

Happy Spring to you today! I’m not sure who all has tulips yet but when you do, you know it’s Spring!

I started out with the NEW poppystamps Layered Tulips die set.  I cut the petal piece in three pinks and instead of using all three colors on one flower, I went with three different color tulips.  I’m glad I did this time!

I went over my options of what to do with them after I made them and thought…they’d be great in a basket!

I love this basket from the poppystamps Woven Basket Pop Up Easel Set.  I die cut it in kraft cardstock, then ran it back through with the embossing stack for the big shot.  I shim it quite a bit to get the embossing deep.

Then using the mini ink blending tool and Gathered Twigs Distress ink pad I browned it up!

I used the grass and the bow from the basket set also.

It’s an A2 size card!

My next two cards are using the NEW Memory Box Floral Stems die.

I die cut the floral stems from Memory Box watercolor cardstock and colored it with Zig Clean Color Brush markers and water.

I die cut an A2 panel of kraft cardstock with the NEW Memory Box Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die set, then die cut the NEW poppystamps Pointy Lattice Plate in white cardstock and layered it over the top.  Trimmed off the excess.

I made an A2 size white cardbase and adhered the lattice panel direct to the cardfront.  The outside part of the panel is adhered with the thin mounting tape that I love so much.

I wrapped some twine and then the NEW Memory Box Posh Birthday Wishes Hot Foil Plate and Cutting die set for the sentiment.

As soon as I finished this, I thought, this could be a great Easter card!  I didn’t get any Easter cards made.  Maybe I’ll have time to make something for the grands tomorrow.

I added some gold fairy gems in a few places on the lattice.

I always love the ‘window’ look on a card!  I always notice windows on houses too! lol  Right now mine are dirty!  We had one storm that blew snow so bad and it was dirty!  I was sad because it’d only been a month since I’d washed windows! Figures!

My last card…clean and simple.  I wasn’t sure I should even post it but it is nice IRL.

This looks champagne color but it’s really silver.  My last picture will show it silver but it’s not the best photo!

The NEW Memory Box Confetti Dot Hot Foil Plate turned out really neat!  I was pleased.  Finally getting better at doing the large foil plates.  I was afraid to shim it but that’s what it needs for the machine I have.

I die cut the foiled panel with the NEW Memory Box A2 Rectangle Frames Die Set and layered that with the thin mounting tape on my A2 size white cardbase.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Happy Birthday Tender Script die in white and silver foil cardstocks…so fun!

ok this last picture shows it silver….get your sunglasses!

It doesn’t do it justice but at least you can see it’s silver!  The struggle is real taking photos!

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog!  I appreciate it and thank you so much for your kind comments!

Have a blessed Easter weekend and talk to you again soon!

Spellbinders April Stamp and Die of the Month Club and Small Die of the Month Club Cards…

Hi everyone!  Getting my floral on with the NEW Spellbinders clubs this week!

Two cards to show you using the NEW club kits coming real soon!

For the first card I used the Stamp and Die Club of the month and for the background I used the Small Die of the month set. So pretty!

My second card I used two floral sections of the Stamp from the stamp and die club to create a wreath!  So fun!

Here’s a couple pictures that hopefully will help you see…

then the dies for the stamp set…

Fun to make so many different looks with this set and a great variety of sentiments with dies for them too!

If you look real close you can see I die cut the top right double flower and the bottom left flower and pieced them back in for this card. Those are also the pieces I used to make the wreath… five of each.

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Sketch Markers.

This card is A2 size…

My wreath card is 5 ¼ in. square card…

I stamped with Memento Tuxedo black and colored with Copic Sketch again for this one.  I stamp and die cut before I color.

I really like that it’s easy to get the margin the same around the whole image when you die cut with these dies.

Lots of pictures today! Crazy how some days are better for taking pictures.  Here we are at a season change again which means adjustments!

Here’s where you can find out about the monthly kits from Spellbinders Paper Arts…so many great stamps and dies! The kits go ‘live’ on the 6th!  (that’s the day you can start signing up for them)

A BOGO SALE going on also!!!  Check it out HERE!  All kinds of wonderful included!

Have fun looking around and holler if you have any questions.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms Birthday Card…

Hi friends and cardmakers!  Hope you’re having a beautiful week! I needed some birthday cards this month so I finally put to use these florals that I’d put together last year!  I die cut a bunch of Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms from different Bazzill Card Shopped cardstocks, glued them up and there they sat in an envelope box lid! So many gals have used these dies… I’d guess they were the most popular floral set of 2022!

I used a poppystamps Double Stitch Rectangle Frames die to showcase the bouquet.

A Taylored Expressions Sentiment Strip.

Some Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Micro Squares to mount the flowers.  These worked out really nice because I needed to stick stems under!

Memory Box Floral Bud and Stems Thanks Card…

Hi everyone!  It feels like Spring here!  A beautiful sunshiny day in Iowa!

My card today is using NEW dies from Memory Box and NEW Stencil set and die from poppystamps.

I started by inking the stencil set with three colors of Distress Oxide ink.  Shabby Shutters for the largest square hole stencil,  Peeled Paint for the next size and Forest Moss for the smallest. (it’s greener in real life)

Then I die cut the NEW Pointy Lattice Plate from poppystamps in white cardstock to glue over the top of the stenciled panel.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Floral Bud and Stems die three times and colored with Copics.  I remember the greens I used were YG61, 63, 67.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Woodgrain Fence Pickets from watercolor paper and smooshed them a couple times in Gathered Twigs Distress ink refill and a couple spritzes of water. Then I decided to make them look more weathered and rubbed a white pigment ink pad over them.  I still wasn’t that thrilled so I added some brown color pencil!  How crazy!  Next time I think I’ll die cut them in brown cardstock! hahahahahaha They do look weathered though!

I was following the sketch from the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge blog for my card but I’m too late getting it posted to link up.  There was another panel in the sketch so I die cut the NEW Curved Cap Pinpoint Layers die in vellum.  I think you can see it behind the flowers and pickets.

I used a piece of wide scor-tape to hold the front pickets together… that worked really slick.  Then I wrapped twine/jute cord around the front panel layers before I adhered it to the cardbase.

I die cut the NEW Memory Box Tilted Thanks die from Memory Box Black Glossy Cardstock and two other layers of regular black cardstock and glued them together and glued them to the front of the card.

I don’t have very many pictures because it’s so bright today I ended up taking pictures three times!  Picky camera or is it picky me! ha

I have a question for you though, if you don’t mind replying… When I write a blog post, it’s preset that the font is this gray color.  If I want it black I have to remember to go in and change it.   Do you have a preference?  gray or black?

Thank you for stopping by! I hope to be back with a couple more flower cards!
