Another Hero Arts Spring Hello

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. I shared a similar card here.

Hero Arts Spring Hello

  • I die-cut the watering can and flowers from white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.
  • I stamped the sentiment, from a retired Hero Arts set and cut it with a small tag die. I tied the sentiment on to the can.
  • I added the assembled can with flowers to the patterned paper background with foam adhesive.
  • I drew a dotted border with a white pigment pen around the edge to add to the homespun feeling of the card.

Cottage Cutz – Spring Garden Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a spring-themed card created with the Cottage Cutz Puppy in Garden Cart set.  Working with these sets is a bit like working a jigsaw puzzle!

Cottage Cutz - Spring Garden Scene

  • I die cut the cart, dog, plants, and umbrella from a variety of cardstock. To some I applied Distress Ink. I added Yellow Stickles to the centers of the flowers.
  • I stamped the Your Next Stamp Happy Gnomies sentiment on to a rectangular panel and added Distress Inks to create the horizon line.
  • I added a frame to the card base and added the assembled garden cart with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy April! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Universal Curved Border Set.”

Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club

The 11-piece set works on multiple card sizes including slimline and A2 for any number of occasions. I have created cards in both sizes. Let’s take a look!

On the first card, I used the set’s floral border to decorate a friendship card.

  • I cut the border twice for medium blue cardstock.
  • I glimmer-foiled the Heart Melt sentiment in Matte Silver on a Snowdrift cardstock A2-panel.
  • I adhered the border pieces on the top and bottom, trimming the sides.
  • I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
  • I adhered the floral elements to the card.

The second card showcases the set’s slimline capability and how the dies can be mixed-and-matched.

  • I die-cut the net-like pattern and floral borders at the same time, nested together, from a light-blue cardstock (this is not the same color as the A2 card, however, it is similar).
  • I die-cut Snowdrift cardstock using the set’s simple curved border and adhered it to the back of the light-blue panel.
  • I adhered the assembly to a Brushed Silver slimline panel.
  • I glimmer-foiled the Heart Felt sentiment and cut it with a circle die. I matted the sentiment with a slightly larger circle cut from Brushed Silver cardstock.
  • I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
  • I adhered the floral elements to the card.

Tim Holtz Colorize Bloom

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with the Tim Holtz Colorize Bloom die set. The die set was introduced in his 2021 Sizzix Chapter One. Chapter Two is debuting this weekend.

Tim Holtz Colorize Bloom

  • To begin, I dry-embossed kraft cardstock with the Intertwined folder.  I used a diffuser (appears to be discontinued) so that the center section was not dry-embossed.
  • I applied Distress Inks and Distress Spray to the panel to give it character.
  • I cut the Colorize Bloom pieces from cardstock on which I had already applied inks. Once cut, I added additional ink. I glued the pieces together, which is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle.
  • I stamped the Tiny Text sentiment on a small white cardstock strip.
  • I added the pieces to the dry-embossed background.
