Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, spring-themed “Hello” card created with Penny Black supplies. I previously shared a Valentine’s Day card featuring the 51-646 Wagon Ride set here.

Penny Black Hello Spring Wagon

  • I created a horizon line on a 4 1/4″ square card base.
  • I cut the 51-646 Wagon Ride set from white, dark grey, brush silver, and kraft cardstock and assembled it.
  • I die-cut the flowers with the 51-596 Bird and Branch  and 51-618 Swinging sets from cardstock colored with Distress Inks, which I heat-embossed with clear embossing powder.
  • I cut the sentiment with the 51-638 Thanks & Hello set from yellow cardstock.
  • I adhered the sentiment and flowers to the card base.

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.

Tim Holtz Feathered Friends

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS mixed-media card created with Tim Holtz supplies including a die set, embossing folder, and stamp set.

Tim Holtz Feathered Friends

  • I cut the Feathered Friends bird from Bristol, which I colored before cutting with Distress Oxide inks. I also added color to the pieces after I cut them.
  • I matted the bird with a vellum circle and a circle cut from a panel, which I collaged with collage paper and added Distress Crayons.
  • I stamped the Simple Sayings sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide ink and cut it with a banner die.
  • I dry-embossed the background with the Lumber folder and added inks to the panel, as well some Picket Fence paint.
