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.

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.

Spellbinders Glimmer Foil – Skinny Stripe Background + Yana’s Tiny Sentiments

Hello! I am delighted to share two cards created with glimmer plates from the recently-released Yana’s Blooming Birthday Glimmer Collection at Spellbinders.

On the first card (shown above on the right), I paired a tone-on-tone Skinny Stripe Background with one of the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments, as well as dies from the March 2021 Large Die of the Month set, to create a spring-themed greeting. (I previously shared cards created with the kit in this post.)

I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Moondust foil on light teal cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments sentiment in Citrine on green cardstock and cut it with the grass die in the Large Die of the Month set and a square die.
I cut a square from vellum and added the grass to the front. I wanted to keep as much of the background visible as possible.
I added the bunny and flowers, cut with the Large Die of the Month set, to the scene.

On the second card, I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Mini Rainbow Stripe foil on black cardstock.

I glimmer-foiled two of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments in Silver on colored cardstock and cut them with the set’s coordinating die.
I cut cardstock in rainbow colors using the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments die and taped the strips together on the back (including the ones I had glimmer-foiled).
I used a heart die to cut out the rainbow strip panel, which I backed with a larger heart cut from vellum (again, not wanting to color up the background).
To embellish, I added hearts cut with a die in the Sunday Sunset Drive set from silver foil to the center.
