Recipe for a Happy Home – Spellbinders Let’s Bake

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card featuring the Let’s Bake die set designed by Sharyn Sowell for Spellbinders. This isn’t a typical Mother’s Day card, although I did have that occasion in mind when I created it. I previously created a Christmas-themed card with this set.

I created the sentiment on my computer and printed it on khaki cardstock.
I cut out the kitchen tools from various cardstock colors, backing the larger open areas by taping cardstock on to the back.
I added the kitchen items to the card base with foam adhesive.

The Spellbinders FSJ Spring Super Sale is on through Thursday, May 9!

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!

Die-Cut Tea Cup Bouquet

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS card on which I have combined several Spellbinders products. While I had Mother’s Day in mind when creating the card, it would also work as a friendship card.

I stamped the Vacation Time sentiment on to a 4″ square piece of white cardstock .
I created a card base with Sea Glass cardstock dry-embossed with the Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from Stampin Up’.
I cut the tea cup with the Stack O’ Cups die set from teal cardstock and adhered it to the white panel.
I cut the blossoms with dies in the April 2019 Small Die of the Month set, Layered Sweet Birdie Thanks, and A Little Birdie (a previous Small Die set now available for separate purchase).
I arranged the blossoms in the teacup and adhered them with foam adhesive. I initially had some blossoms adhered without foam adhesive and they looked too flat!

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!

Floral Hello – Die-cut Inlaid Technique

Hello! Today I am sharing a floral hello card featuring Spellbinders die sets with which I have used the inlaid die-cutting technique. It’s one of my favorite techniques.

I cut white cardstock and cardstock colored with Distress Oxide inks with the Lovely Lilac and Petal’d Poetry die sets designed by Stephanie Low.
I inlaid the colored die-cut pieces into the white cardstock die-cut “frame.”
I taped the pieces into the frame from the back and adhered the assembled die-cut on top of the solid die-cut piece.
I heat-embossed the Altenew Mini Hello sentiment on to Gina K cardstock and added the assembled blooms to the card base. I was going for a tropical feel when choosing the card base color.

I’m delighted you dropped by!
