Spellbinders Propagation Garden Collection Cards…

Hi everyone!  I saw a GREAT, FLASH sale at Spellbinders including the sets in this collection and it reminded me that I’d not posted these two cards!  For example Propagated Plants that I used for the plants on these two cards is on sale for $9!  Regular $29.99!!!  I made links for you below.

So here I am on a Saturday afternoon finally editing the photos and typing up a post.  The sun is shining, the sky is blue for a change and the hub is out ice fishing with grandsons!

Super cute cards to make for plant loving friends and family!

I used the Circle Windows dies from Photo Play for the card front panel. I did a search and found a couple places to link to…not affiliate but I couldn’t find them in the stores I normally link to.

Then it’s just die cutting and gluing everything up!

The bottom terra cotta pot is from the Tiered Tray Decor set from Spellbinders but it’s not in the store anymore. I’m not positive but the pail is probably from Memory Box.  This is what happens when you don’t post for over a year after you make! oops!

Are you on team Pink or team Yellow?  lol

The grid pattern papers are from….ugh…I can’t remember!  Some papers I have in the old, old, stash!  But good ones! I’m sure you have this too.

I don’t remember where the sentiment is from either.

Another die set that you can use up scraps with!  I don’t have great scrap organization but what I do have works for me.  It’s a fairly good size 8 inch-ish tall bin that sits on a stool beside my desk that I have cardstock pieces in by company!  I know…see…I told you…not great but it really does work for me!

So many fun cards for any occasion with this collection!  I didn’t buy all of it but now I want to go back and buy the rest of it!

Have fun and thank you so much for stopping by!

Spellbinders February Release Flower Cart Card…

Hi everyone!  Some fun, floral die cutting happening around here! Talk about sweet little flowers!  Super cute set!

Straight forward die cutting!  I didn’t use any stamps!  A little Copic marker though but no ink blending which is unusual for me too!

On can never have too many birthday cards in the stash!  I used the Simon Hurley Handwritten Sentiments die set for the happy birthday greeting.

I wanted to add some clouds in the sky and thought, why not make it the sentiment in the clouds!

It’s an A7 size card…move over Hallmark! haha

I pretty much used scraps except for the background and cardbase!

Thank you so much for stopping by today…we need the thoughts of Spring in Iowa today…. -8˚  this morning when I got up.  BRRRRR   Next week shows warmer….we’ll appreciate it!

Spellbinders NEW Kelly Bangs Dies and Stamps…

Hi everyone!  This NEW Pieced Heart from Spellbinders is perfect for a shape card!  I went Valentines Day but it could easy be for so many occasions!

I wish I’d thought to do real sewing machine stitching before I taped it together on the back with scor-tape!  Next time!  It’d be real pretty for a wedding card!

I used the NEW Speech Bubble Sentiments to stamp the dots and grids on the front and the sentiments inside.  Super cute set!  Speech Bubble dies too with stitch lines!  YAY!

I’m patting myself on the back for remembering to take pictures of the inside! lol

These stamped up so nice…pretty sure they said made in the USA!  I always love that!

I inked up the edges of everything with Gathered Twigs Distress ink and a mini ink blending tool.

The bow and ribbon on the front are from the Festive Ornaments set S5-607.

The lettering for LOVE and XO is from Parcel and Post Heart Decorations die set S2-351.

I did the white stitching on the perimeter of the heart with a white gel pen. I debated for a day whether to add it or not! lol

If I was mailing this I would use an A7 envelope with one forever stamp.

Thank you so much for stopping by!  It’s a snowglobe world here today!  Finally getting snow! ttul!

Tim Holtz Fresh Brewed Sidekick Side-Order Birthday Card…

Wishing you a warm birthday card…  So much potential for this set for any occasion! Make it flakey!

Once again I was inspired by a gal on instagram….I’ll link to her on my post there.

The NEW Tim Holtz Sidekick Side-Order set, thinlets dies and a texture fades embossing folder.

I embossed the folder, trimmed it down, inked it with some Gathered Twigs distress ink and glued it directly to a white Hammermill cardbase.

I die cut the sentiment from Tim Holtz Thin, Sentiment Words die set.  I used scor-tape on the back so I could just insert the blue letters back in. I can’t find this set to link to.

Die cut the mugs, steam and snowflakes.  The snowflakes are from the Tim Holtz Twig and Stump die set. I can’t find this set to link to. I used the super thin mounting tape I love so much, on the mugs!  It’s sticky so I use the scissors I’ll link below.

So fun…you could easy just use paper scraps and come up with all kinds of designs for all seasons!

Linking my card to some challenges…
