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.

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.

The Adventure Begins – a Die-Cut Camping Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a camping scene in which I have combined the Spellbinders Camping die set with a sentiment in the Hero Arts The Adventure Begins stamp set. With warmer weather here in the PNW, my thoughts turn to outside adventures.

To create the sky, I inked white cardstock with Distress Oxide inks in Fossilized Amber and Blueprint Sketch. I then added Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink to darken the sky.

The back row of trees was cut with the Poppystamps Pine Tree Border from black cardstock. The tent was cut from Chili Pepper cardstock and Taylored Expressions Earl Grey cardstock. I trimmed away the tent portion of the piece I cut from the gray cardstock. I cut the ground (using the MFT Snow Drifts die set) and the trees (included in the Spellbinders Camping die set) from Lawn Fawn Noble Fir cardstock. I cut the lantern from TE Silver Foil Cardstock and added a tiny circle cut from TE Potato Chip cardstock.

The sentiment was stamped on a panel of Taylored Expressions Toffee cardstock from which I cut the circle in the center to create a frame. The card base was created with Lawn Fawn Blue Jay cardstock.

Llama Fiesta

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS card combining the Technique Tuesday Lorenzo the Llama sentiment with a die-cut llama created with the Spellbinders Hip Llama set.

I deliberately chose bright colors with the black and white to give that fiesta flavor to the card. To begin, I die-cut, embossed, and assembled the llama. Next, using a stamp positioner, I stamped the tassel string from the Lorenzo the Llama stamp set with white pigment ink on a Stampin’ Up Melon Mamba cardstock panel. I attached the pink panel to a white cardstock base. I heat-embossed the sentiment on a black cardstock strip and adhered it to the base, adding the llama with foam adhesive.

Have a great weekend!
