Spellbinders – Tulip Flower Frame

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Thank You card created with the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set designed by Maria Job for Spellbinders. I previously shared cards created with the set in this post.

I specifically wanted to use patterned paper on the card base as this particular “cover plate” die has an ample amount of open space. Once I cut the frame and placed it over the patterned paper, I decided that some of the tulips in the frame should be filled in, which I did with the inlay method.

I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Everyday Script set and cut it with its coordinating die. I cut circles from both red and cream cardstock, which I adhered to the card center. I adhered the sentiment to the circles with foam adhesive.

Thanks so much for dropping by!

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!

Spellbinders Exquisite Splendor Collection by Marisa Job

Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with the recently-introduced Spellbinders Exquisite Splendor Collection by Marisa Job – beautiful botanical dies that can be used for a number of occasions including birthdays and weddings! I used the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set to create the background for both of my CAS cards. Let’s take a look.

On my first project, I began by cutting the card panel with the rectangle die in the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator set, (the set includes an A2 size 4.25 x 5.50 in. outline frame and an intricate tulip design insert), from Whip Creme cardstock. I then cut the tulip design from the A2 panel. I did this a second time and adhered the layers together. I backed the assembly with coral cardstock. I used the tulip design to cut soft blue, soft yellow, and soft gray pieces which I adhered to the coral base with glue. Having the two layers makes this technique easy!

I dry-embossed a strip of soft yellow cardstock with the Beach Towel embossing folder and added a sentiment stamped with the Every Moment stamp set, cut with a Spellbinders circle die.

My second project is of a similar design, and I followed the same steps as for my first card. I created the sentiment with the Happy Birthday Banner, another die set in the Exquisite Splendor Collection.

I adhered the sentiment letters to a single piece of floss with liquid adhesive and attached the ends of the strings to the back of the dry-embossed strip, which was then adhered to the card base.

Thanks for visiting today!

Spellbinders Fun Stampers Journey Holiday Tag

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday tag combining products from Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey. Let’s take a look.

I heat-embossed the FSJ Vintage Notes Stamp on Black Licorice cardstock with gold embossing powder.
I cut the background with the Shortie Tags die.
I heat-embossed the Charming Tag Sentiment with gold embossing powder on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with a rectangle in the Matting Basics B set. I adhered the sentiment to the bottom of the tag.
I cut the ornaments in the Charming Boughs set from Whip Cream cardstock, the ornament tops from Brush Gold cardstock, and two ornament fronts from Cranberry Bliss and one from Noble Fir.
I assembled the ornaments with liquid adhesive.
I added gold twine to the ornaments and to the top of the tag. I adhered the ornaments to the tag with foam adhesive.
