Spellbinders/FSJ Summer Die-cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a die-cut summer scene in which I have combined a number of Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey die sets. Knowing what you know about me – I love summer colors like red, white, and blue, and I love to die cut! I was inspired by my recent move to create a “Home Sweet Home” card.

I rotated the window in the Window View die set and added the ledge piece below as a window box. In the background I dry-embossed the Banana Cream cardstock with the Bright Days embossing folder. In the foreground I added a fence cut with the Garden Fence die. To accommodate the window and the fence, I made the card 4 1/2″ tall by 5 1/2″ wide.

I used the A Little Birdie set to cut the small flowers and the green stems. I added a bigger spray of green with the Bloom Cluster die. The larger flower was cut with the Daisy die set. The butterfly is included in the Spring Flutter set.

I printed the computer-generated sentiment on Pineapple Smoothie cardstock.

Thanks for dropping by!

Enjoy the Ride – Spellbinders May 2019 Small Die of the Month

Hello! Happy May! Today, I am sharing two CAS projects created with this month’s Small Die of the Month die set “Enjoy the Ride” from Spellbinders.

For my first card, I created a sky/road scene with a pink scooter using letters in the set for the “Ciao” sentiment and balloons (die in the set) tied to the back of the scooter.

I dry-embossed the roadway piece (gray cardstock) with the Beach Towel Embossing Folder.
I cut the “Ciao” sentiment from white cardstock and adhered it to the roadway with liquid adhesive using the dry-embossing lines as a guide for the letters.
I cut the scooter out and assembled it with liquid adhesive and tape.
I added embroidery floss to the balloons, cut from several shades of pink, and attached them to the sky background with dot and foam adhesive. I taped the strings to the sky background making sure that they would be covered by the back of the scooter. I attached the scooter to the scene with dot adhesive.

I love using color and repetition on card designs, so for my second project, which measures 6 1/2″ x 3 3/4″, I created three scooters in bright colors.

I created the Go sentiments on my computer and printed them on white cardstock.
I cut and assembled the scooters from brightly colored cardstock.
I added a strip of washi paper to the right side of the card base to emphasize the road/transportation theme.
I adhered the scooters to the scene with dot adhesive.

Thanks for stopping by! Vroom!

Buffalo-Plaid Coffee-Themed Friendship Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey supplies, including the Fun Stampers Journey Buffalo Check stencil, generously provided to me by Spellbinders. I’ve crafted a coffee-themed friendship card using the stencil to make the background paper.

To begin, I inked red cardstock with Walnut Stain Distress Ink through the stencil.
I cut the Coffee Brewing coffee pot using the Coffee Brewing die from silver cardstock and backed the openings with white cardstock.
I cut the coffee cups, cup handles, and coffee beans with the Cup and Beans die set.
I adhered a patterned paper strip to the base of the Buffalo Check background and added the coffee pot, assembled coffee cups, and coffee beans to the scene.
The sentiment (from “Coffee Break” MFT Stamps set) was stamped with Walnut Stain ink and cut using a long, skinny rectangle die in the Matting Basics B set.

I’ll definitely be pulling out this stencil again!

The Smallest Things

Hello! Today I’m sharing a CAS inspirational/friendship card combining die-cutting, dry-embossing, and heat-embossing. Let’s take a look.

I die-cut the Sketched Blooms from both white cardstock and colored cardstock. I applied tape on the back of the diecuts to hold the colored centers.
I dry-embossed the blue rectangle background (cut with one of the Matting Basics dies) with the Inspire embossing folder. I added another rectangle in gray as a mat.
I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studio “My Favorite Things to Say” set and cut it with one of the dies in the Matting Basics sets.
I assembled the card on linen-textured card base. The sentiment is adhered with foam adhesive. The dry-embossed rectangle, its frame, and the blooms are attached with dot adhesive.

Spellbinders + FSJ – Die-cut Window Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed window scene on which I have used Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey products. I’ve also included details about a huge Online Warehouse Sale for the two companies at the end of my post. Let’s take a look at the card!

I used the Fun Stampers Journey Window View die to cut the window pieces.
I dry-embossed yellow cardstock (SU So Saffron) with the FSJ Bright Days embossing folder and attached it behind the window. The embossing folder depicts the sun and its rays. I placed the sun portion in the lower right-hand corner.
I attached the window assembly to a Sea Glass card base.
I cut the birds and foliage with the A Little Birdie die set (SU Flirty Falmingo, SU Calypso Coral, SU Granny Apple Green, Neenah white) and added them to the front of the window.
I added yellow enamel dots to the white flowers.
I heat-embossed the Every Moment sentiment on SU Bermuda Bay and cut it with a circle die.
