Hello! I am back crafting after a break to the Mojave Desert to visit family. Today, I am sharing a birthday card created with the Swirl Happy Birthday Frame, part of the Blooming Garden Collection by Marisa Job at Spellbinders. I previously shared a card created with another die from this collection here.

The Swirl Happy Birthday Frame set includes the birthday sentiment, the background swirl panel, and a die to cut a rectangle which fits inside the background swirl. I used the dies to cut white cardstock with the swirl designs.

I cut both the sentiment swirl and the background swirl twice to create depth. I initially cut the sentiment from gold foil and from black cardstock, but after playing with a variety of patterned papers for the card base and the rectangular panel, the most elegant and striking combination was the one using the white cardstock. I wanted the swirls to take center stage!

Hello! I recently created four cards for the Spellbinders blog using products from the Special Moments Collection by Marisa Job.

The projects were shared over on the Spellbinders blog here, here, and here. Head over to the blog posts for more details.

 

 

Hello! Today, I am delighted to be sharing two CAS projects created with the August Small Die Of The Month kit from Spellbinders. These cards took very little time to put together!

I created a “cheer up” card and a holiday card with the set. The birds, flourishes, frames, and flower lend themselves to a number of different occasions! First a look at the “cheer up” card.

I cut the pieces from cardstock to which I had applied watercolor and Distress Inks. I heat-embossed the birds with clear embossing powder. The background was dry-embossed with the Spellbinders SES-006 Circles and Diamonds embossing folder. I added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the flowers.

Now the holiday card.

For the holiday card, I cut the frame, flourish, and birds from cardstock to which I had applied double-sided adhesive. I applied microfine glitter to the pieces before adding them to a piece of patterned paper on which I had stamped the sentiment.

I already have more ideas swirling around my head for the pieces in the kit. Head over to the Spellbinders blog for info about the kit and more inspiration!

 

Hello! Today, I’m sharing a CAS card created with the Spellbinders Layers of Flowers die set. This is my second card using this die set. My first take had a vertical orientation.

The set, designed by Marisa Job, includes three different floral panels. I heat-embossed a sentiment on to a rectangular panel to which I attached the assembled layers. Two of the layers are cut from white cardstock, which puts the focus on the top detailed layer. I added small yellow circles to the centers of the flowers for additional color and to tie in with the patterned paper background.
