Watercolor Floral Card


Hi my friends, today I have a card made using the pretty Summer Plumeria Clear Stamp Set from RubberStamp.com



The flowers were stamped on watercolor paper with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink and colored with Distress Watercolor Pencils in Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron and Villainous Potion.

The flowers were then shadowed with grays and then the panel was splattered with black ink.

Extreme Double-sided Tape 1/8" from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L was placed below the flowers and sprinkled with purple glitter.

The sentiment was stamped in black, layered and popped up below the glitter strip.

The background was made with the Watercolor Striped Stencil from Altenew and Distress Inks in Picked Raspberry and Twisted Citron. The flower panel was popped up on this.

Have a crafty day!

Birthday Wishes


I made this quick and easy card using the pretty new papers from Spellbinders.
To make my card, I cut a piece of the Morning Memories Paper to 4" x 5 1/4", layered this onto slightly larger blue cardstock and glued it to a tan card.


The sentiment was cut using the Snowflake Wishes Stamp and Die Set. Don't let the name fool you, it has sentiments for all occasions.



Blue Diamond Dotz were randomly glue to the card and glitter glue was put in the center of the flowers to add more sparkle.

Garden Hello Card


Happy Monday! Today I have a framed hello garden card made with dies and pretty papers and a BetterPress Plate, all from Spellbinders.

Did you know that you can used BetterPress Plates even if you don't have the LetterPress? That's what I did with my card, here's how it was made-

**I took the Copperplate Hello Press Plate and inked it with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink by tapping the pad on top of the plate.




**Next, using an embossing machine, a decorative paper panel was place on it with the pattern up and the place put in the center with the inked side down. It was then run through the embossing machine as you would a die. This gives you a beautiful crisp, indented impression.

**A frame was then made from black cardstock using the Nestabilities A-2 Matting Basics Set and it was popped up framing the Hello.



**Then the Botanical Solarium Etched Die Set was used to cut all of the garden pieces from pretty colors of cardstock.

Gardening Shaker Card


Hi my friends, today I have a shaker card that I made for a friend who likes to garden. I picked a paper pad that has pretty muted colors and die-cut everything from the pad, so I didn't have to worry about the colors coordinating, it's done for me.
The Botanical Solarium Etched Die Set from Spellbinders was used and includes the flowers, pot, watering can and gardening tools.


I also used these other items from Spellbinders Hugs Sentiments Clear Stamp Set to stamp the sentiment in the center of the shaker.


Geo Prints Clear Stamp Set was used to stamp lines and stamps on the decorative paper background to add more interest.

A Card With A View


Hi! Today I have a card with a view that's making me dream of Spring. To make my card, I used new release dies and stencils from Spellbinders

To make my card, I first used the Vista View Window Die Set to cut white cardstock for the window frame, the back panel that gets stenciled and the window box.


Next, the back panel was stenciled using the Background Scapes Stencils for the mountains and the clouds.


The next step is to die-cut the window box, flowers, grass, butterfly and sun using the Up In The Air View Die Set to cut white cardstock. Inks and a blending brush were then used to color the different pieces. Once the sun was colored, it was glued to the top right of the stenciled panel and the window frame was popped up on the stenciled panel using 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.


The window box was popped up at the bottom of the window and the grass and flowers were glued in.  The butterflies were then glued, one to the grass and one out the window. 
The sentiment was glued to the top left of the window.

These are the new release items from Spellbinders, used on my card.

Floral Embossed Birthday Card


Happy Saturday my crafty friends! Today I have a birthday card that's made using and
embossing folder, die and a stamp. The embossing folder is the new Flowers and Foliage 3D Embossing Folder by Wendy Vecchi from Spellbinders.

To make my card, I started my ink blending orange inks on the bottom half, then put only the top half of the panel in the embossing folder and ran it through my machine.

Diamond Dotz were glued to the center of the flowers and thin black glitter washi tape was glued below the flowers. This was then glued to a slightly larger black panel and glued to a top folding white card.

The sentiment from the So Many Sentiments Set was die-cut from white and black cardstock and popped up on the card.

Happy Birthday from the Party Time Set was stamped with Onyx Black VersaFine Ink.




Here is another card that I made using the Flowers and Foliage 3D Embossing Folder. This time I embossed decorative paper with the image pressed down into the paper then painted the flowers with white paint and used enamel dots for the center of the flowers.

To make the shaker portion, 3D Foam Circle Frames from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L were used. These frames make it super easy to make a shaker! The sentiment was die-cut using Thanks Enclosed Sentiments set
