Spellbinders July 2020 Small Die – Ornamental Floral Card Creator

Hello and Happy July! Today I am sharing two cards created with the July Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Ornamental Floral Card Creator.” The card designs are quite similar; I’m showing two orientations and two color combinations.

To begin, I cut two arched panels, which I glued together to create a frame.
I heat-embossed the sentiment on to a rectangular panel to which I glued the frame.
I cut the flowers using the two large flower dies in the set. On one of the flowers, I trimmed off the foliage. On another of the flowers, I trimmed off part of the foliage.
I used the inlaid technique for the flower centers, petals, and leaves.
I added the assembled flowers to the panel.
I added flat sequins to the panel as embellishment.

Penny Black Groovy Greenery

Hello! Today I am sharing an encouragement card created with Penny Black stamp sets from their new “Refreshing” release. You can see another card created with supplies from this release here.

To begin, I stamped the 30-712 Words of Encouragement sentiment on to white cardstock.
With a mask, I applied Distress Oxide inks at a horizon line for the sky and the ground. I use a strip of vellum for the sharp line. I cut the panel with a rectangle die.
Using the 30-701 Groovy Greenery stamp set, I stamped the vases with pigment ink that I heat-embossed with clear powder. I fussy-cut the vases.
For the plants, I applied green inks to white cardstock with a sponge dauber that I then stamped the plant images from the 30-701 Groovy Greenery set with green ink. I fussy cut the plants.
I assembled the vases and plants.
I dry-embossed the card base with the TE Weathered embossing folder. I matted the stamped panel with a slightly larger white rectangle.
I added one plant with dot adhesive and the other with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders Inlaid Die-cut Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card that uses the diecutting inlaid technique and features Spellbinders supplies.

To begin, I cut the Waves overlay from white cardstock.
I backed the overlay with dark blue cardstock which created a frame for the other pieces of carstock.
I cut light blue cardstock with the Waves die and placed those pieces into the frame.
I cut medium blue cardstock with the Waves die an placed those pieces into the frame.
I foiled the sentiment in silver and adhered the strip to the assembled wave panel. I adhered the panel to a dark blue card base.

Although inlay technique takes time, it’s a bit like working a jigsaw, which can be rewarding and therapeutic.
