Spellbinders – Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens

Spellbinders - Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens

Hello! Today I am featuring two CAS cards created with Spellbinders supplies showcasing the Jane Davenport Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens, a set of 10 acrylic paint pens – five colors with two different nibs (broad and fine).

Spellbinders is offering the pen set as part of a “Gift with Purchase” promotion: FREE Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens with a $75+ order – a $39.99 value!

It’s easy to add paint to a papercrafting project with the pens.  On my projects, I created stencils using Spellbinders dies. Using the broad nibs, I “painted” on to black cardstock. Because the paint is fast-drying, I could move to the next line immediately.

On my first project, I cut a stencil with one of the dies in the Art Studio Botanicals set through which I applied paint to draw rainbows.

  • Using the stencil, I drew rainbows on to black cardstock, staggering the rainbows between lines.

  • I trimmed the painted panel and added it to a lime-green card base.
  • I foiled the Crafty Sentiments sentiment with rainbow foil on white cardstock.
  • I cut the sentiment with a circle die and cut a vellum circle mat, adding the assembly to the card.

On my second card, I used a different die in the Art Studio Botanicals set with which I drew lines and dots on to black cardstock for butterfly wings.

Spellbinders Marvelous Mermaids by Jane Davenport

Spellbinders Marvelous Mermaids by Jane Davenport

On the first card, I combined the Mermaid Paper Doll with the Mermaid Scale Tiles.

  • I colored Soft-Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks in shades of blue and cut the pieces with the second smallest die in the tiles set.
  • I used the template provided on the Spellbinders site to lay out the tiles and adhered them to a piece of aqua paper.
  • I colored the mermaid pieces with pastel in the Birthday Suit set and Distress Oxide inks.
  • For the torso piece: I stamped the bikini top, masked it, sponged on the pastel, removed the mask, and brushed on green ink to the bikini top. Then I put the cardstock back into the stamp press (on which I had left the stamp) and restamped the bikini top.
  • I stamped the face onto cardstock colored with the pastels; I stamped the hair onto cardstock colored with Distress Ink.
  • I cut all of the pieces with their corresponding dies and attached the pieces with brads.
  • I foiled the Thank You sentiment with black foil and cut it with a circle die.
  • I added the sentiment and mermaid to the tile background (measuring 5″ wide x 6 1/4″ tall).

Spellbinders July Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! Today, I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop along with other papercrafters sharing projects created with the Spellbinders July 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Joy Baldwin. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two cards showcasing the July Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Ornamental Floral Card Creator.” I shared two other cards created with this set in this post.

Spellbinders July Clubs Blog Hop

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to three blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Hop along for additional chances to win. Giveaway closes on Sunday, July 26th, 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

My cards are similar in design; both combine the Small Die of the Month set with foiled sentiments from the Stylish Script Collection. On the first card, I foiled the Beautiful Ride sentiment and surrounded it with a frame, blossoms, foliage, and small flowers cut with the Small Die of the Month set.

Because the petals are the same color as the flower’s outline, inlaying the petals was easy. I simply added tape on the back when I first cut the shape. I glued the foliage pieces before adding leaves cut from Brush Gold.

Spellbinders July Clubs Blog HopOn my second card, I foiled a sentiment from the For You set. This time, I simplified the floral clusters (eliminating the one in the upper-left corner) and added more small flowers cut from Brush Gold.
