Just Wanted to Say Thanks

Hello, I have a Thank You card today using the Embossing Folder of the Month- Lattice Work and the newest Misty Morning Butterflies released this month from Spellbinders. As you have seen on many cards in the past, I love working with these gorgeous butterfly stickers and could not have been happier about receiving some new ones this month. I have also used a few other sets of Spellbinder products on today’s card. The sentiment is a BP plate that is also new this month called New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments the fonts are just stunning.

Everything is listed below.

A Few Card Details: First, I inked up my background using Kitsch Flamingo and Worn Lipstick Oxide inks on a pale piece of pink cardstock. Then I embossed the pink piece and a smaller white piece with the Lattice Works EF. Next, I took some white pigment ink and sponged it on the pink piece using a small blending brush in more of a swiping motion, like if I were painting. I wanted to make the Embossing Folder more defined. After I cut out my foliage, I splatted the leaves with some black paint and then sprayed them with one of my new favorite products-Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray by Imagine. I wish you could see how sparkly this is in real life. This stuff is so cool. I fussy cut the sentiment and popped it up with Foam Squares. I used my Notched Corner Frames and made a black border to frame in the second embossed background.

HERE is the page where you can get a peek at all of the clubs along with some amazing samples. The Club kits will be available for purchase by subscription starting the 6th and run through the 27th. However, quantities are limited so if you are interested don’t delay.

You Are Such a Tweet Heart

Hello friends, I am back with another card using the May-Small Die of the Month from Spellbinders called Tropical Friends. As these releases come down the pike, I tend to fall head over heels for the SDOM, and it happened once again. How could you not? Just look at that face! I enjoy the foliage and flowers that come in this set too.

I knew I wanted to make a different colored parrot, so I googled it and this is where my inspiration came from. He is called a Golden Conure.

Card Details: The free-formed background is something I drew and cut out of a piece of acetate and I have used it many, many times. The stencil is from Miss Ink Stamps and is called Leafy Green. I used SSS inks to lightly blend my background. The sentiment is from MFT-A Tweet Hello and the banner die I stamped it on is from Pink and Main. I inked up nearly all the die cuts to give them a bit of dimension. This time I got a bit carried away with my splatters. šŸ˜ Last time, it was not enough; this time, it was too many. I also have used some Foam Squares for dimension.

I am linking up over at the Stencil Fun Challenge today.

I Think You are Pretty Great

Hello, Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a good weekend. Today I am sharing the Embossing Folder of the Month from Spellbinders May Club, called Lattice Work and this gorgeous New Better Press Plate set called-New Beginnings Timeless Sentiments. The fonts on the plates are just so gorgeous and it foiled like butter! I pulled out one of my favorite dies-Strawberry Patch as I had never used the basket before. I enjoyed seeing this card come together.

A Few Card Details: The green piece of paper in the background is a piece of DSP that after it was run through the EF I added a bit of distressing to it. The white piece along the base of card is also Embossed with the same folder. I used a piece of vellum to back my strawberry basket. The strawberries, stems, and leaves were all sponged with various inks. The stems of the strawberries were cut out of polka-dotted DSP and then sponged a bit darker. The strawberries themselves were backed with black paper. As you can see, I foiled my sentiment in gold. A few paper gold gems to finish it off.

HERE is the page where you can get a peek at all of the clubs along with some amazing samples. The Club kits will be available for purchase by subscription starting today the 6th and run through the 27th. However, quantities are limited so if you are interested don’t delay.

Birthday Tweetings

Hello Friends, I am ready to share the monthly clubs from Spellbinders with you all, first up is the Small Die of the Month-Tropical Friends. I was excited to see this die coming up as I don’t have very many bird dies in my collection. It was certainly fun to put together once I settled on the colors. Does it take you forever to choose your color palette too? Everything you see on today’s card comes in the SDOM except the greeting.

You should see the Large Die of the Month and the rest of the clubs! They are all wonderful too.

My original thought was to keep the background white but when I looked at it it just didn’t seem right. After all the birds are nestled up in the tree-tops. So I brought out a piece of dark green Cardstock so that the foliage and birds would still pop. As you can see, once I finished ink-blending my leaves I splattered them with some white paint. I did some ink blending on Mr. Toucan and Ms. Parrot too. The sentiment is from Concord and Ninth and is raised with two more layers for some depth. I used Foam Squares behind the parrot.

I am once again sharing my card with Darnell over at NBUS!

Know that you are in our prayers

Hello, I am back with a simple and quick Sympathy card using the Stampendous set released by Spellbinders this month. The set is called Sincere Sentiments.

The paper in the background is called One of a Kind 12 x 12 from Paper Studio. I used the Nestled Hemstitch Rectangles again and backed it with black paper. I took a tan Prisma Colored pencil and lightly colored the leaves. The tiny flower is from Four Petal Bloom and the leaves are from Envelope of Wonder Etched Dies. A few gold paper gems to finish it off. This card came together in just a few minutes; sometimes that is a good thing when you need these types of cards in a hurry.

You’re the Best

Hello, I hope you are having a good day. I am finally starting to feel a bit like myself after being under the weather since Saturday evening. I finally found a wee bit of energy to make a CAS card.

Have you seen the newest Better Press plate called-Cheers to You Sentiments, released this month? It comes with 7 different phrases. What I love most about it is, that you can press all the sentiments at once and then cut them all at once too. There is nothing better than having sentiments on hand for your next card.

I decided to pull out the set Sitting Pretty once again as that tiny bird is just so cute. Next, I found some pretty paper that I picked up at Hobby Lobby eons ago and had yet to use. The DSP has a lot of cream in it, so I decided to use that same color for my flowers and base. The Nestled Hemstitch Rectangles that I used on the mauve background elevate any card, and I really like them. The Gold Glitter Cardstock is also from Spellbinders.

This card came together very quickly and was initially inspired by The Paper Players CAS Spring Flowers Challenge.

Wishing You a Day…

Hello, I have been under the weather since the weekend but luckily have yet to share this card showcasing the latest sentiment set by Stampendous and Spellbinders. It is called Birthday Messages. It is a great set with quite a few wonderful phrases.

Now, what is a birthday without sparkly party hats and streamers? I used the fabulous Birthday Wreath Add-Ons set once again. Plus, I can’t forget the pretty EOM- Faux Stitched Petal. I used the debossed side again. I actually think I prefer it. I think it looks like candles. I also used some white glitter paper for the ruffle parts of the hats and the Notched Corner Frames. The most time-consuming part was putting the dots and stars back in the hats. I find intricate work enjoyable so I didn’t mind at all.

As you know photographing mainly white cards can be difficult and this card looks quite a bit better in person.

Happy, Happy Birthday

Hello friends, I have a Birthday card today using a mix of products from Spellbinders. I just love a Black, White, and Pink color palette, don’t you?

A Few Card Details: It all began with this pretty EFOM-Faux Stitched Petal. I decided I wanted to use the debossed side of the EF for this card, I thought it was so defined and so pretty. Next, I used the Buffalo Plaid Better Press Plate to make my checkered paper so that I could cut out the word Happy. Happy is from the SDOM-Faux Stitched Sentiments and Floss. The product that I used for the rest of the sentiment is one I have not shared yet. It is a fabulous BP plate called Cheers to You Sentiments. I love that you can simultaneously press the (7) greetings and then cut them all out. Then you have the rest of the unused sentiments waiting in the wings.

Of course, there is no Birthday celebration without the adorable Balloon toting Panda from a few months ago. I especially like her glasses. I used Nuvo drops and glitter on the balloon. The inside of the card was stamped with a new set from Stampendous/Spellbinders called Birthday Messages. I have stamped that (not pictured) on the inside of my card. As you can see I used MANY products on this card and they are all listed below.

Thanks for Helping Me Grow

Welcome back friends, I hope you are doing well. I have another card for you today using the Propagated Plants Die set designed by Annie Williams and Spellbinders. I like the variety of plants in this collection and could not love the Propagation Garden Sentiment set anymore. It is really wonderful and some of the sentiments even have matching dies. The background of my card is a gorgeous piece of vellum. I think this would make a cute Mother’s Day card.

I am also using a new to me set from Spellbinders that I picked up on one of their sales recently, and it’s the Picket Fence Die that also comes with the blades of grass. I have wanted a fence to add to my collection for eons. By the way, if you need a Picket Fence to add to your collection, it is still on Sale!

Speaking of Sales, Spellbinders has an amazing Spring Cleaning Sale going on right now. Some products are as cheap as $1.00. It is really worth checking out.

Thinking of You at CH

Hello friends, It is the middle of the month and time for the New Hues of Colors at Color Hues. Hannelie has chosen the colors of Yellow and Pink. I am using more of the April release at Spellbinders for my card design. I have the Angel Trumpet Die once again as my focal point it is part of the Fresh Picked Collection. I also used the Buffalo Plaid Better Press Plate for the background. This is the first time I have used this plate and I like it a lot. I reached for the sentiment from the Propagation Garden Sentiment set. The Gold Glitter Cardstock is from Spellbinders as well.

I adding a bit of sponging with some Walnut Stain Oxide Ink which made my leaves a deep yellow. At first, I was on the fence about whether I liked it or not but after I put the gold splatters on the background, it really started to grow on me! PUN intended! šŸ˜ The splats are gold metallic paint.

I think tying in the pink and gold with the paper strips at the top, the gold flower centers, and the heart die in the bottom corner really helped too. I heat-embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder and raised it with Foam Squares.
