Spellbinders – Destination Japan Collection

Hello! Today I am sharing an easy-to-create, CAS card showcasing the Spellbinders Pagoda die set, part of the Destination Japan collection by Lene Lok. I shared another card from this collection here.

I foiled a sentiment from the More Sentiments set in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut as a thin strip.
The Pagoda set includes four pieces. I cut the body and top of the pagoda with the outline and detail dies from Brush Gold cardstock.
I cut the body and top again with just the outline dies from Candy Apple cardstock.
I cut thin strips of Whip Cream cardstock which I adhered behind the windows of the pagoda.
I adhered the gold top and body to the red carstock and attached the pieces together.
The card base background is a sheet from the MFT Woodgrain Whimsy paper pad.
I added the sentiment to the lower portion of the pagoda.

Spellbinders Wedding Season Collection – Beyond the Wedding!

Today, I am guest blogging on the Spellbinders blog sharing projects that showcase the Spellbinders Wedding Season Collection. My cards illustrate how the collection can be used for occasions other than weddings. I hope you’ll head over for the details.

Supplies:

Penny Black Groovy Greenery

Hello! Today I am sharing an encouragement card created with Penny Black stamp sets from their new “Refreshing” release. You can see another card created with supplies from this release here.

To begin, I stamped the 30-712 Words of Encouragement sentiment on to white cardstock.
With a mask, I applied Distress Oxide inks at a horizon line for the sky and the ground. I use a strip of vellum for the sharp line. I cut the panel with a rectangle die.
Using the 30-701 Groovy Greenery stamp set, I stamped the vases with pigment ink that I heat-embossed with clear powder. I fussy-cut the vases.
For the plants, I applied green inks to white cardstock with a sponge dauber that I then stamped the plant images from the 30-701 Groovy Greenery set with green ink. I fussy cut the plants.
I assembled the vases and plants.
I dry-embossed the card base with the TE Weathered embossing folder. I matted the stamped panel with a slightly larger white rectangle.
I added one plant with dot adhesive and the other with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders Inlaid Die-cut Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card that uses the diecutting inlaid technique and features Spellbinders supplies.

To begin, I cut the Waves overlay from white cardstock.
I backed the overlay with dark blue cardstock which created a frame for the other pieces of carstock.
I cut light blue cardstock with the Waves die and placed those pieces into the frame.
I cut medium blue cardstock with the Waves die an placed those pieces into the frame.
I foiled the sentiment in silver and adhered the strip to the assembled wave panel. I adhered the panel to a dark blue card base.

Although inlay technique takes time, it’s a bit like working a jigsaw, which can be rewarding and therapeutic.

Spellbinders June Club Kits – Another Look

Hello! Today I am sharing two friendship cards created with the June Small Die of the Month and Large Die of the Month sets from Spellbinders. I previously shared a card featuring the Small Die of the Month here and a card featuring the Large Die of the Month here.

On the first card I used dies from both of the sets on the floral frame. I attached the assembled flowers and foliage to the frame, which is included in the Large Die set. The frame surrounds a large stamped sentiment (from a now-retired set from Simon Says Stamp).

On the second card I used dies from the Small Die of the Month exclusively, using two of the three flower shapes in the set. Once the assembled flowers were on the panel, excess stems, foliage, and bloom were trimmed from the side and the bottom. (The large sentiment is from the same now-retired set from Simon Says Stamp.)
