Spellbinders Top Floral Panel – Two Ways

Hello! Today, I am sharing two cards created with the Spellbinders Top Floral Panel die, part of the Blooming Garden Collection by Marisa Job. The cards vary in orientation and color.

I used the same technique for both versions:

I cut the Top Floral Panel from white cardstock three times. I adhered the panels together to create a thick die-cut.
I heat-embossed the sentiment on to a rectangle, which I sized to fit just inside the Top Floral Panel, and adhered the heat-embossed rectangle to the card base.
I adhered the Top Floral Panel to the heat-embossed rectangle before adding the petals and flower centers.
I used the Top Floral Panel die to cut the the petals and flower centers. I added a small amount of liquid adhesive inside the Top Floral Panel frame and inlaid the petals and flower centers.

CAS(E) this Sketch 279 – Sail Away

Hello! I am playing along with the CAS(E) this Sketch #279 Challenge.

I stamped the sentiment (now retired but a favorite of mine) in Gray Flannel on white cardstock.
I inked the Waves Stencil (which I masked) with Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, and Blueprint Sketch.
I colored white cardstock with Hickory Smoke and Mermaid Lagoon from which I cut the Sailboat (now retired.
I added the stamped and stenciled panel to a Slate Gray card base.

Spellbinders Layers of Flowers

Hello! Happy July! Today, I’m sharing a CAS, red/white/blue card created with the Spellbinders Layers of Flowers die set. It’s not technically a Fourth of July card, but I certainly had the holiday in mind while I created it.

This set, designed by Marisa Job, includes three different floral panels. I have used the three panels together to create a dimensional panel, although the panels could be used alone. I stamped a stacked sentiment on white cardstock to create a vertical card.

I plan to use this die set with a different color scheme on another card. I’m also thinking about rotating the dimensional panel to create a horizontal card.

Hibiscus Frame – CAS Friendship Card

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS friendship card showcasing the Hibiscus Frame from the Simon Says Stamp GOOD VIBES release.

I cut the Hibiscus Frame from 110 lb. white cardstock and trimmed it to A2 panel size (the die cuts the inside but not the outside frame).
I created the background with alcohol inks – Flamingo and Sunshine Yellow – on Yupo paper.
I used a spray adhesive to attach the frame to the alcohol-ink panel. I also adhered die-cut pieces around the edges into the frame.
To finish, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Kind Flowers set on black cardstock.

Good Vibes – Foiled Stencil Cards

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards created with the Simon Says Stamp Jazz Dance stencil and the Summertime die.

To begin, I applied Deco Foil Gel through the Jazz Dance stencil on white cardstock. Once dried, I ran the panel through the Minc with a Rainbow Foil sheet. For the second card base, I ran a piece of Toner Sheet and the leftover foil sheet (with the negative image from the stencil) through the Minc.

To create the Summertime sentiment panels, I first cut the Summertime die from white cardstock. I also used the die to cut the frame and letters from a Toner Sheet. I foiled the letters with Lime Foil and the frame with Rainbow Foil. I then inlaid the lime foil letters into the white frame and the white letters into the rainbow frame.
