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 New Marvelous Magnolia 3D Embossing Folders Cards…

Hello in hot foil on watercolor paper today!

Two cards to share with the same coloring idea.  I used watercolor crayons.  Do you remember those?  Do you have some stashed away in a drawer or cupboard?  It was really easy to do, color it on then go over it with a wet paint brush.

I started out by embossing the folder on watercolor paper…this picture is Strathmore.  I ended up using Memory Box Watercolor paper for the card with the plaid background.  My second card is Hammermill color copy cover cardstock.

I had to do it over because after I was done painting, I put it back in the folder and ran it through again but I didn’t get it lined up right.

The second time I didn’t run it through again after painting!  Learned my lesson! haha

I used the NEW Magnolia Plaid paper for the background and a strip of paper from the New Magnolia Grove paper pad under the sentiment.

Lines of foiling run through this plaid paper so I used Gold Mirror/Foil Cardstock to mat the embossed panel.  I die cut out the center of it so I can use it for something else.

I wanted to carry over the gold into my sentiment so I used the Hello from poppystamps Birthday Wishes Poe Script foil and cut die set.

I used Memory Box watercolor cardstock for the embossed panel and the sentiment.  I really like how it colors and how easy it is to remove color if you get it where you don’t want it!

My next card is the same 3D embossing folder but lighter colors and on cardstock.

This folder comes with dies!  I embossed another panel of cardstock and die cut and embossed them but didn’t get a card made with them yet.

I did the same coloring with watercolor crayons.  I bet watercolor pencils would work too!

For this one I die cut the Memory Box Thank You Posh Script die in vellum and TE Cupcake Pink cardstock.

Very simple but I’m happy with both of them!  whew!  I can’t believe it’s already Thursday.  I’ve worked on these since Monday.  I guess I played too much! haha

Spellbinders April 3D Embossing Folder Club…

Hi everyone! I kept this card clean and simple… A7 size. Embossing Folder FUN! ❤

Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide swiped directly on the smooth side of the NEW April 3D Embossing Folder.  I love it!  So many different ways to ‘do it up’!

It’s really a greener green in real life.

I used the Best Wishes sentiment from the April Large Die of the Month Club set.

‘From All Of Us’ is from the Essential Glimmer Sentiments Hot Foil Plates set.  A neat variety of sentiments!

One thing I tried but didn’t finish was, after I did this same first step, I took another color oxide ink pad and swiped it over the top/raised areas and it worked great too!  Lots of ideas out there!  People are so creative!

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!

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!
