Cottage Cutz Nautical Hello
Hello! Today, I am sharing a nautical-themed card showcasing the CottageCutz Lighthouse die. If you have followed this blog for awhile, you may recall that nautical is one of my favorite cardmaking themes.
- I die-cut the lighthouse from a variety of cardstock pieces and glued it together.
- I stamped the Stampin’ Up sentiment on to a triangle cut with the Color Block Slices die set.
- I added the lighthouse and stamped light ray to a patterned paper background and finished it with a frame cut with the A2 Rectangle Frames set.
Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a Valentine’s Day card featuring the 51-646 Wagon Ride set here.
- I created a horizon line on a 4 1/4″ square card base.
- I cut the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, brush silver, and kraft cardstock and assembled it.
- I die-cut the flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch and 51-618 Swinging sets from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, which I heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
- I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from yellow cardstock.
- I adhered the sentiment and flowers to the card base.
Spellbinders April 2021 Clear Stamp Kit Club
Hello! Today I am sharing a brightly-colored, thank you card created with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club at Spellbinders – “Around the Bend.”
I used the stamp set along with this month’s Large Die of the Month – “Universal Curved Border Set.”
- I cut the orange and pink cardstock panels at the same time with a die in the Large Die of the Month set.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment on the orange cardstock panel.
- I stamped the vine and flowers on a white cardstock panel.
- I adhered the orange and pink panels to the stamped panel and trimmed the sides.
Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club
Hello crafty friends! Happy April! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Universal Curved Border Set.”
The 11-piece set works on multiple card sizes including slimline and A2 for any number of occasions. I have created cards in both sizes. Let’s take a look!
On the first card, I used the set’s floral border to decorate a friendship card.
- I cut the border twice for medium blue cardstock.
- I glimmer-foiled the Heart Melt sentiment in Matte Silver on a Snowdrift cardstock A2-panel.
- I adhered the border pieces on the top and bottom, trimming the sides.
- I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
- I adhered the floral elements to the card.
The second card showcases the set’s slimline capability and how the dies can be mixed-and-matched.
- I die-cut the net-like pattern and floral borders at the same time, nested together, from a light-blue cardstock (this is not the same color as the A2 card, however, it is similar).
- I die-cut Snowdrift cardstock using the set’s simple curved border and adhered it to the back of the light-blue panel.
- I adhered the assembly to a Brushed Silver slimline panel.
- I glimmer-foiled the Heart Felt sentiment and cut it with a circle die. I matted the sentiment with a slightly larger circle cut from Brushed Silver cardstock.
- I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
- I adhered the floral elements to the card.
