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!

Simon Says Stamp Falling in Love Stencil Card…

I haven’t made much for kraft and red this year!  Shocking I know! lol  Here I have Lumberjack Plaid, Picked Raspberry and Kitsch Flamingo Oxide Inks blended on kraft cardstock.  I love how it turned out!

It’s a 6×6 stencil so I made a 6×6 piece, trimmed it down and adhered the extra strip to the back of my card!  I love how it looks!

The sentiments are from the Simon Says Stamp Love Greetings Mix stamp set…on sale right now! I’ll link you below.

I stamped the I LOVE YOU in black on kraft in the MISTI, then trimmed it out with a paper trimmer. Mounted it with the thin mounting tape I love.

I stamped You Captured in the MISTI also.  I did have to go over it with a black micron pen though because the black didn’t show up great over the oxide ink.  I should’ve let it dry longer I bet.

I added three black enamel dots.

The camera picks up the color more than it looks IRL.  It’s more muted/chalky looking in person.

I can’t believe Valentines Day is in four days.  I guess I won’t be mailing any this year. ugh

Do you mail Valentines?

CAS Baby Card for Freshly Made Sketches and Woodblock Wednesday Challenges…

Hi everyone! It’s been awhile since I made a baby card!  When I saw the sketch for Freshly Made Sketches I immediately thought of baby clothes on a line.  Then I saw the Woodblock Wednesday Challenge and thought of my drawers of woodblock baby stamps!

I stamped the woodblock onesie in Memento Black ink using my old stampamajig to space the onesies on a 3  15/16  x  5  3/16 in. card panel.  I hand drew the line with a black micron pen. Colored with Copic Sketch Markers. I made a mask, using the negative and stamped some wood peg stamps on the onesies.

I die cut the largest Memory Box Wrapped Scalloped Rectangles die in black cardstock to mount the panel to.

The onesie is from Savvy Stamps, 1026C Hanging Onesie.

The sentiments are from Lawn Fawn Little Bundle clear stamp set.  On the inside I heat embossed in white powder on black, Lots of Love (and more laundry). I stamped them in the MISTI with black ink, can’t remember which one! oops!

A2 size…clean, simple and CUTE!
