Spellbinders Truly Yours Collection

Hello! I am delighted to be sharing three friendship cards created with products from the Truly Yours Collection at Spellbinders.

On the first card, I paired the Bouquet of Flowers (retired) die set with a glimmer-foiled sentiment in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set.

On my additional cards, I used printed elements from the Reaching Out Collection (American Crafts) with flowers cut using dies in the Bouquet of Flowers (retired) set and a sentiment in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set.

Supplies:

Penny Black Daisy Delight

Hello! I am sharing a friendship/encouragement card created with Penny Black supplies from the newest release – “Delight” – as well as previous releases.

I stamped 40-776 Enlightened background in Dandelion ink on gold cardstock and cut the panel to A2-size.
I stamped the 30-712 Words of Encouragement sentiment on to a Distress Oxide Ink cardstock panel.
I cut 51-676 Daisy Delight and colored the blossoms and stems with Copic markers.
I cut the 51-636 Dainty Dashes Stackers panel from white cardstock, and by cutting the center with a rectangular die, I created a frame.
I added the frame and daisies (which I trimmed and adhered to the back of the frame) to the Distress Oxide Ink panel.
I embellished with a butterfly cut with one of the dies in the 51-132 Flights of Fancy set.

Supplies: Penny Black Flights of Fancy, Daisy Delights, and Dainty Dashes Stackers die sets; Penny Black Enlightened and Words of Encouragement stamp sets

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.

My Happy Place

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card featuring the Cottage Cutz Potting Shed die set with a retired MFT stamp set (“Beach Bunnies”) sentiment, which I masked (the sentiment says “You Are My Happy Place”).

I die-cut the pieces for the shed, watering can, and flower pot and assembled them with glue. The die is one piece, which you run through multiple times cutting different colored cardstock. I tried a number of different shed siding/roof/door color combinations. I saw a garden shed online with a teal door (gray siding), but when I tried teal cardstock, it just didn’t look the same. I really like all of the details that the set provides.

I stamped the sentiment and added a horizon by brushing Distress Ink for the sky and the grass.

We recently had snow in the PNW. It’s melted now and there are daffodils popping up!

Elizabeth Craft Snowman Valentine

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, winter-themed, Valentine created with Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets.

I cut the Peek-A-Boo frame and inlaid the letters.
I cut and assembled the Jack Frost snowman, accessorizing him with a hat cut with dies in the Winter Accessories set.
I tucked the snowman into the frame and backed it with light blue cardstock.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper card base.
I embellished the scene with snowflakes cut with the Penguin die set.

I have previously used the Jack Frost snowman here and the Peek-A-Boo frame on a card here.
