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!

My Favorite Things ‘Right on Track’ Birthday Card…

Hi everyone! One of our granddaughters LOVES vinyl, I still call them records, but when I saw this set I HAD to have it!  I LOVE how it turned out!

These cute critters are from My Favorite Things!

I stamped them in the MISTI with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with Copic Sketch Markers.  A little white gel pen added after coloring. What a happy musical trio!

My pictures turned out good so there’s five of them! lol

I used an older Memory Box die, Party Music 98757 for the background but I’m linking you to the new die.

The sentiment stamps I used are from Paper Smooches which is closed now but I did see some pages of PS stamps on ebay. The name of the set is Birthday Sampler.

I just used a A2 white cardbase and on the inside I glued an extra record that I had colored.

A clean and simple card but good colorbook therapy!

I’m linking my card to some challenges…

The Neglected Stuff Challenge – this is their kick off…so fun!  I’m excited about this challenge! (my neglected stuff – the party music die and sentiment stamp set)

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…

Spellbinders Bold Color Mix Numbers Cards…

Hi everyone!  Branching away from Christmas today! Birthdays keep coming and January is a busy month for our family when it comes to birthdays!  YAY! As long as it’s not mine! haha!

This is a 5 x 6 size card so I’ll be using an A7 envelope for it.  I tried some stitching for fun….just die cutting and a little stamping.

I used the betterpress dies to stamp the sentiment and th!  I liked the distress look I got doing that!  I taped the dies into the MISTI and inked them up. lol

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

The pattern paper is from the Doodlebug Design Sweetheart 6×6 paper pad.

Next card….

I hot foiled with the Better Press dies….I used the negative/leftover piece of foil from another project because I thought the polka dots would be fun.  But…whoa…what a challenge to get a picture!

It’s Silver foiling for the numbers and the sentiment.

I think I better order a Better Press kit for these solid dies.  I’ve been able to do it with the detail betterpress dies and my die cutting machine, following a video a gal put up on you tube but these solid ones I struggled with.

Still fun and a CAS card…much better IRL!

I absolutely love these numbers and the options for making fun celebratory cards!  I’ll link the sentiment set I wasn’t able to use yet below also…it’s cool too! So many good products and ideas out there to help us make awesome cards!

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my latest attempts at being creative! Talk to you again soon!  I have a couple cards to post that I mailed, I don’t want to post them until they receive them though.  I mailed them Tuesday.   ttul!
