Spellbinders February Release Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder Card…

Pam Sparks18 Comments

Hi everyone!  Do you remember the poinsettia embossing folder card I made HERE?  I tried it again with the NEW Spellbinders Four Petal Floral 3D Embossing Folder. 

I did this one a little different.  I ran it through the Big Shot with the embossing folder setup after I inked it up with Antique Linen Distress Ink pad. (regular dye ink)  You ink it on the wrong side, the side that debosses, the design is recessed into the cardstock but you don’t want to go deep this time. Use a thinner sandwich.  I inked it up so it’d be easier to see where to brush on the ink.  The first time I did it I got too much green on the pink. 

I found that I could kinda ‘wash’ the ink off with a damp stiff-ish paint brush, after I deep embossed it and brushed back in the right color.  I missed a few spots though! hehe

Scroll down (last picture) and you’ll see how it looks after ink blending and before the last embossing like the folder is meant to be embossed. 

After inking with yellow, pink, green oxide inks and deep embossing, you ink blend again over the top of all of it with Vintage photo distress oxide ink. 

It’s a super fun, vintage-y, distressed look that the camera makes brighter and deeper color than it really is IRL.

I hot foiled the sentiment on a die cut panel using the Spellbinders Something Special Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and gold hot foil.

I spattered on some gold ink for sparkle and glued on some gold pearls to glam it up… oh and some thin gold cord before I glued it to an A7 size cardbase.

Here’s the not so pretty ink blended panel!  :O  I know… at this point you think, I should quit!  This is NOT working! lol

Never fear….keep going! lol

As to my Hallmark commentary last time… this one is Hallmark size anyway! lol

Spellbinders Scenic Poinsettias Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone!  I’m still here!  Down to the wire trying to do all the things!  I made this card a few weeks ago and today I decided I was going to get it posted finally!

I LOVE this gorgeous embossing folder from Spellbinders.

I was inspired by Annie HERE…

I started out like she describes but I went back after and added some green color pencil for the berry stems and holly leaves.

For my die cuts I used the Spellbinders Holiday Blooms die set.   I remembered I had all the watercolor backgrounds from following Jill Foster’s background video for the new Penny Black release for Christmas!  I used them for die cutting and I’m so happy with how well they go with the ink blended embossing!

The hot foiled Merry Christmas Sentiment is also from Spellbinders.  I’ll link below!

Thank you so much for coming over to visit my blog!  Tonight we have a grandkids choir concert.  They’re part of a homeschool choir with an excellent director who has high expectations so it’s always a beautiful and  a blessed event for us.  Can’t wait! ❤

ttul!

Spellbinders Blooming Tree Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die Set Card…

Pam Sparks7 Comments

Hi everyone!  I’m feeling festive on this second Friday of August already!  This is such a pretty hot foil plate set! Easy and fast to add some touches of color too!

I used the Plaid Tidings Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate on the top layer.  While I was deciding what I was going to do for this card, I also just embossed this plate through my machine… it worked great!

After I foiled the Plaid, I die cut one of the Essential Arches Dies in the panel.  I used mounting tape to raise it up on the cardbase.

I hot foiled a sentiment from the Christmas Magic Glimmer Hot Foil Plate set.  I haven’t tried embossing these yet but I want to.  I hope it works!

The smallest die in the Precision Layering Mini Slimline B die set works perfect for cutting out these sentiments! YAY!

A2 size card…one more for the stash!

That’s all there is to it!  Holler if you have any questions!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Spellbinders Ice Skate Christmas Wishes Card…

Pam Sparks9 Comments

Hello! Sharing some icy Christmas wishes today!  I know, I know… I don’t wanna think about that yet either!  It’s cooled off a little here but still…humidity means the corn is growing or drying out I guess. 

I loved ice skating when I was growing up.  There was a park in the city that closed a street for sledding and made a pond for ice skating.  My dad would take us a lot during the Winter…so fun!  

I die cut the NEW Ice Skate Etched die from Spellbinders in white cardstock two times.  In a woodgrain pattern paper for the sole and in silver cardstock for the blades. 

I have a bunch of ¼ in. grosgrain ribbon but none in white. boo.  I used the tan and tried not to sweat it! lol 

I used one of the branches from the NEW Winter Evergreen Foliage die set, die cut it 4 times, added some white acrylic molding paste and Memory Box Fairy Sugar Dewdrop liquid glitter glue on the tips of the branches.

Christmas Wishes is from the New Mix and Match Holiday Greetings die set.  I cut it in gold glitter cardstock and white cardstock, glued them together for a little more thickness, then glued directly to the cardbase.

I used the Kaleidoscope Snowflake set again for the three snowflakes. (I used them on the Winter Mailbox a couple posts back)

Almost done but missing that pop of red so I had to cut some ornament balls from the NEW More Holiday Decorations die set. Then I was happy and glued my 5×7 panel to an A7 size white cardbase.  

Die cutting and gluing again! I need to stamp something! lol

Stitched Ornament Merry and Bright Slimline Card…

Pam Sparks10 Comments

Hi everyone!  It’s been some time since I used wool felt so I found my box and set to work die cutting and stitching up this new die from Spellbinders Stitched Christmas release.

I meant to make it as an ornament to hang on the tree but once again I forgot the plan and glued it to a card! lol

The pretty branches are part of the die set.

I used Knit Crosheen thread to for my stitching.  Taylored Expressions Tiffany and Avocado wool felt.

I used Tombow Mono Multi liquid glue to adhere the top and bottom avocado felt pieces.

My slimline card size is 3 ⅜ in x 8 ⅜ in.

I used Spellbinders new Mix and Match Holiday Greetings die set for the sentiment. I love this font!  There’s 18 word dies in the set!

Here’s a close up of just the ornament…so pretty!

I wish I could show you this one in person! It’s definitely a card to give to someone that will keep it and get it out for display each Christmas season. 

The tiny pearls are from starlitstudio.
