Spellbinders – Elegant Twist Collection

Hello! Today, I am sharing two cards created with Spellbinders products from the recently-released Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken.

Spellbinders Elegant Twist Collection

My first card features the Elegant Twist Oval die set.

Spellbinders Elegant Twist Collection

The Elegant Twist Oval die set includes twist oval and outline oval dies, which can be used in many different combinations when nested. This Spellbinders video provides greater detail about the set.

  • I cut a rectangular (3 3/4″ x 5″) panel using a twist die with a plain oval nested inside. In that manner, the outside was not cut, only the inside.
  • I then used the same plain oval die to cut a rectangular panel from light-blue cardstock.
  • I added the light-blue panel behind the darker blue panel.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock, and centered it behind the frame assembly.
  • I added that assembly to the card base and embellished with flowers cut with a die in the Floral Tiara Topper die set. The vellum sprigs were cut with a die in the June Large Die of the Month kit, as were the flower centers.

My second card showcases the Splendid Trilliant die set paired with a sentiment included in the Borders and Sentiments glimmer plate set. I grounded the assembly with an oval from the Oval Coronet die set. (You can see another card created with that set here.)

  • I cut the Splendid Trilliant overlay from white cardstock using the detailed die and outline die in the set.
  • I cut the dark blue piece using just the outline die.
  • I foil-embossed the sentiment on to the dark blue piece. I then adhered the pieces together.
  • Similarly, I cut the overlay using the detailed die and outline die in the Oval Coronet set. I cut a solid panel with just the outline die and adhered those together.
  • I the Splendid Trilliant and Oval Coronet pieces together, adhered the assembly to the card base, and added flowers cut with a die in the Floral Tiara Topper die set.

Father’s Day Card for a Fishing Enthusiast

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, fishing-themed, Father’s Day card created with dies in the Elizabeth Craft Designs Camping Accessories set.

Father's Day Card for a Fishing Enthusiast

  • I colored soft-finish cardstock with Distress Inks and cut the colored cardstock with the fishing pole and the fish dies in the Camping Accessories set.
  • I stamped the Stampin’ Up sentiment (now-retired Best Catch stamp set) on to a 4 1/4″ square base.
  • For the water, I colored a strip with Distress Ink and stamped it with the My Favorite Things Winter Waves Background stamp in darker ink. I added the strip to the bottom of the card base.
  • The fish was added to the card with foam adhesive.

Along with the fishing-theme, I particularly like the bright colors on the card.

Penny Black Hydrangea

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS “Thank You” featuring a potted hydrangea created with Penny Black supplies. Around here, we’ll begin to see hydrangeas blooming mid-July.

Penny Black Hydrangea

  • I cut the 51-610 Hydrangea pieces from green cardstock and two shades of blue.
  • With the same set, I cut the butterflies from yellow cardstock.
  • I cut the pot for the plant from red cardstock with a die in the 51-635 Buckets of Flowers set.
  • I cut the back frame with the 51-611 Creative Curves die from white cardstock.
  • I stamped the 30-281 Flower Sparks sentiment and cut it with a circle die.
  • I tried a number of different backgrounds, including ones I stamped with backgrounds stamps. In the end, patterned paper from my stash worked best.

  • I heat-embossed the sentiment on deep blue cardstock.
  • I cut the frame from gold foil.
  • I cut the greenery from SU Cucumber Crush (now retired) and vellum. I cut the flowers from yellow, red, and white, and their centers from gold foil.
  • I glued the foliage and flowers to the frame. I used flowers to cover the junction points for the foliage.
  • I glued the frame to the card base.
  • I added flat sequins in several sizes to the card to fill in the “white space.”
