Hi everyone! A peek at what I made with this collection for the Spellbinders Paper Arts Blog HERE.
Three Cards with this new collection. You’re going to love it!!! All the things….stamps, dies, embossing folders and stencils!
Thank you so much for stopping by and you know I appreciate you looking, sharing and commenting!
Hello everyone! Have you seen this new die set from Memory Box? Well, it’s not the latest release but it wasn’t that long ago!
Just something about pails with flowers…I’m kinda envious of gals with flower gardens that can go pick whenever they want too. I’m not envious of the work involved though! So it’s paper flowers for me!
Funny story for you…. I decided to die cut the flowers in white and Copic color them so I grabbed a scrap of white from my white scrap bag. Put it down on the dies and when I took the flowers out of the die, I saw the print on there! lol I almost threw the pieces away but then I thought, I should just use these for fun! I probably could never do this on purpose and like it! lol
It really wasn’t hard because the pieces are grouped well! Here’s a picture of what the dies look like and then three pictures of the cuts. I did cut the two floral dies twice but you don’t need to.
I went by the picture on the package on how to put the flowers together and how to arrange them on the card. Most are just two pieces!
I did some inking with brushes on the pail and then some black spattering. Inking on the leaves also.
I colored the flowers with Copics but you could use any medium.
I used a little of my favorite thin mounting tape on the main flowers for the arrangement.
Then I just cut a black cardstock panel 4 inches x 5 ¼ inches and using my score-pal, scored all fours sides in ¼ inch. I love how the pail and flowers stand out against black!
OH, I didn’t have room for a big sentiment even though I wanted to use one. I used one of the Happy Birthday Foil Greetings Black Tabs.
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this card makes you smile and inspires you to make something too!
Here’s the products I used to make this card…tap/click the abbreviations to see the product.
(I hope these links work. I just spent an hour trying to do this. They are changing affiliate websites and making us jump through all kinds of hoops and it feels like such a waste of time. Let me know if you appreciate having the links like this because it takes so much time and I always wonder if it’s worth it!)

Hi everyone and happy anniversary to someone somewhere! A new collection at Spellbinders for the Betterpress machine! Copperplate calligraphy sentiments. Happy Birthday, Happy Everything, Heartfelt Sympathy and Hope You’re Feeling Better pretty much covers everything!
Here’s a close up of how beautiful this impresses! I used Silver Delicata ink. It’s so great that my old ink pads work too!
I love it! At one point I took some classes to attempt to write like this but alas life makes it hard to practice as much as it takes to master it. I still like to do lettering though! I guess making cards took up priority! lol
I die cut the panel with one of the dies from the Spellbinders Emerald Cut Labels and Tag die set and mounted it on a 5×7 navy cardstock panel. Using the Scor-Pal I embossed the corners because it needed something! The card base is A7 size white cardstock.
The flower dies I used are from the Spellbinders Club Blooms set from January of 2023. Timeless!
A traditional looking, Hallmark size type card!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I have to get started on Christmas in July! How are you doing? Anything Christmas yet? hehe
ttul,

Hello everyone! Two cards to share with you that I made with the same dies!
Basic cards made with dies…no stamps!
Birch Press Design Rosebud Arch Contour Layers die set comes in the cool folder packaging with the color picture insert for how to put the designs together! It’s so helpful and you don’t have to change anything for storage! Magnet sheet included!
Birch Press Design Hello Vintage Sentiment die set…I cut from two colors and was able to make two sentiments and throwing away nothing! YAY! (there are two sizes of this die, I used the smaller one)
I use scor-tape to assemble the hellos, no messy gluing!
I followed the card challenge blog Freshly Made Sketches for this card. Linking to challenge #675.
Here’s two more pictures of the wreath…
The wreath card is 5 ½ inches square.
I added some gems from the pastel Fairy gems by Memory Box.
I used Memory Box cardstocks and plaid paper.
One more picture of the A2 size card…
Holler if you have any questions!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

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!
