Spellbinders July Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! Today, I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop along with other papercrafters sharing projects created with the Spellbinders July 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Joy Baldwin. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two cards showcasing the July Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Ornamental Floral Card Creator.” I shared two other cards created with this set in this post.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to three blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Hop along for additional chances to win. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 26th, 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

My cards are similar in design; both combine the Small Die of the Month set with foiled sentiments from the Stylish Script Collection. On the first card, I foiled the Beautiful Ride sentiment and surrounded it with a frame, blossoms, foliage, and small flowers cut with the Small Die of the Month set.

Because the petals are the same color as the flower’s outline, inlaying the petals was easy. I simply added tape on the back when I first cut the shape. I glued the foliage pieces before adding leaves cut from Brush Gold.

On my second card, I foiled a sentiment from the For You set. This time, I simplified the floral clusters (eliminating the one in the upper-left corner) and added more small flowers cut from Brush Gold.

Thanks for stopping by! The next stop on the hop is the blog of Virginia Lu. Scroll for the list of participants.

Penny Black – Simply the Best

Hello! Today I am sharing a Copic-colored hedgehog card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the hedgehog from 30-708 Plant Joy set and colored the image with Copic markers. (I shared another card using a different image from the same set here.) I fussy-cut the hedgehog.
I added the 51-623 Pretty Picket fence and the 51-033 Silver Linings clouds to the scene.
I stamped the sentiment from 30-710 Trust Me Builder and cut it with a 1/4″ die.
I cut the balloon string using the 51-609 Balloons set and the balloon with a die in the 51-004 Uplifting set.
I added the scene panel to a patterned paper card base.

Happy Hedgehog – Grown with Love

Hello! Today I am sharing a Copic-colored hedgehog card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the hedgehog (isn’t he the cutest?!) from 30-708 Plant Joy and colored the image with Copic markers.
I stamped and fussy-cut the same image on a sticky note to mask the image. With the mask in place, I applied Distress Oxide inks for the sky and the grass.
I stamped the sentiment from 30-713 Grown with Love directly on the image.
I cut a frame using a die in the 51-636 Dainty Dashes Stackers and cut the image to the same size. I glued the frame to the image.
I added the framed image to a background covered with patterned paper from the Great Escape pad.

Spellbinders Foiled Nautical Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card showcasing a foiled sentiment from the Spellbinders Stylish Script Collection.

I paired the foiled Thank You sentiment with ovals cut using dies in the Elegant Twist Ovals set. I previously shared a card created with this same die set here.

To create a nautical-themed Thank You:

Foil the sentiment on Whip Cream cardstock in Gold.
Cut the Elegant Twist Ovals frames from Brush Gold cardstock.
With dies in the set, cut an oval from Whip Cream cardstock; adhere to the back of the larger gold twist oval.
With a die in the set, cut the foiled sentiment cardstock; adhere the smaller gold twist oval on top.
Add the ovals to a card base covered with Carta Bella paper; add nautical stickers (Paper House Productions “At the Beach”) for embellishment.

Note: the card is slightly larger than A2.

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.
