Spellbinders Embossing Folders – Pattern Play

Hello! I was recently a guest blogger for Spellbinders on their blog sharing three cards created with the Spellbinders Embossing Folders Collection. I hope you will head over to see my creations, read about the designs, and leave a comment.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Feathered Friends

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS mixed-media card created with Tim Holtz supplies including a die set, embossing folder, and stamp set.

I cut the Feathered Friends bird from Bristol, which I colored before cutting with Distress Oxide inks. I also added color to the pieces after I cut them.
I matted the bird with a vellum circle and a circle cut from a panel, which I collaged with collage paper and added Distress Crayons.
I stamped the Simple Sayings sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide ink and cut it with a banner die.
I dry-embossed the background with the Lumber folder and added inks to the panel, as well some Picket Fence paint.

Hero Arts Plant + Stand Die Set

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS “hello” created with the Hero Arts Paper Layering Plant + Stand die set.

I colored Bristol with a variety of inks and cut it with the die set pieces. The stand was cut from a woodgrain cardstock.
I stamped the Sending Smiles sentiment on vellum.
I added the vellum to a faux watercolored paper background, which is revealed on the left-hand side. The vellum is adhered to the background under the leaves and pot.
I adhered the pot, stand, and leaves to the card front, using foam adhesive on some of the leaves for dimension.

Supplies:

Penny Black – Daydream Hello

Hello! I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed Hello card that features products in the Penny Black Daydream release.

I cut the 51-650 Viridescent leaves, inlaying the white frame with green leaves. I achieved this by first cutting from white cardstock, putting tape on the back of the white frame, and cutting the leaves and placing them into the frame from the front.
I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from gold foil and white cardstock, which I glued together for depth.
I added Distress Ink to the center of a white A2-size card base.
I adhered the assembled leaves at the top and the bottom of the card.
I glued the letters to the center, using the die-cut negative as a guide.
I added the die-cut birds, cut with the 51-657 Wildwood set from textured cardstock, with foam adhesive.
