Hello! I was recently a guest blogger for Spellbinders on their blog sharing three cards created with the Spellbinders Sweet Street Collection. I hope you will head over to see my creations, read about the designs, and leave a comment.
Penny Black Spring Decor
Hello! Today I am sharing a spring version of a card I made last fall with Penny Black supplies. You can see the fall version here.
- I cut the shelf, the white flower, hydrangea stem, and vases with dies in the 51-653 Autumn Decor set.
- I cut the 51-610 Hydrangea pieces from light-pink cardstock and cardstock to which I had applied Kitsch Flamingo Embossing Glaze.
- I cut the bird with the 51-657 Wildwood set from cardstock to which I had applied Broken China Embossing Glaze.
- I cut the garden tools, watering can, smaller flowers, and planter with dies in the 51-510 A Garden set from a variety of cardstock pieces.
- I adhered the pieces to an A2-size card base on which I had stamped the sentiment from the 30-703 Blooming Sentiments set and applied Distress Inks for the horizon line.
Lawn Fawn Spring Build-A-House Hello
Hello! Today I am sharing a spring-themed card created with Lawn Fawn products. I have shared similar cards here and here. I like cards that feature houses, windows, and fences. One of my favorite pastimes is to look at houses and gardens!
- I die-cut the Build-A-House and Spring Add-On pieces from cardstock and assembled them.
- I embossed the background with the Stitched Cloud cover plate. I own the landscape version of the die rather than the portrait version. Luckily the bottom of the sky ended where the grass began!
- I added a Grassy Border.
- I masked the Simply Sentiments sentiment and cut it with one of the Simply Puffy Cloud Frame dies.
Cottage Cutz Nautical Hello
Hello! Today, I am sharing a nautical-themed card showcasing the CottageCutz Lighthouse die. If you have followed this blog for awhile, you may recall that nautical is one of my favorite cardmaking themes.
- I die-cut the lighthouse from a variety of cardstock pieces and glued it together.
- I stamped the Stampin’ Up sentiment on to a triangle cut with the Color Block Slices die set.
- I added the lighthouse and stamped light ray to a patterned paper background and finished it with a frame cut with the A2 Rectangle Frames set.
Another Hero Arts Spring Hello
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. I shared a similar card here.
- I die-cut the watering can and flowers from white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and colored pencils.
- I stamped the sentiment, from a retired Hero Arts set and cut it with a small tag die. I tied the sentiment on to the can.
- I added the assembled can with flowers to the patterned paper background with foam adhesive.
- I drew a dotted border with a white pigment pen around the edge to add to the homespun feeling of the card.
