 Hello Everyone! I am back with another project, but this time I am going to use their Circle Burst stencil! I knew when I saw this stencil, there were going to be a lot of big and shiny balloons to celebrate a birthday! I grabbed three of my distress oxide inks in spiced marmalade, worn lipstick and peacock feathers and my distress blending brushes and got my card stock panel ready for my stencil.  I made sure I taped my panel down so it would not shift while I was applying my ink through the stencil. Using my blending brushes I made sure I always went in the same direction which provided a shadow along one side of my balloons. Make sure they overlap to give a sense of the center balloon is in front of the other two! I pulled out my black fine liner pen and added my strings and bows to my balloons and a highlight mark with my white gel pen!  For my sentiment I used the Birthday Sugar Script die. This is a great large and bold sentiment to help the celebration shine! I used black card stock for the background die and a shimmer card stock for the sentiment itself! I popped my sentiment up using my double-sided foam tape and placed along the bottom edge of my card design with enough space to set my other two sentiments above and below to finish my wish! I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch). Here are just some of the products I used for this project!

Don’t’ forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel! Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! Today I am very excited to be a Guest Designer on the Spellbinders Blog today showcasing their Hot Foil Glimmer plates by Becca Feeken – Amazing Paper Grace! The Amazing Paper Grace collection is absolutely beautiful and you will see why so many of these products are titled as Elegant! For today’s projects I chose three gorgeous glimmer dies from this collection called Foil Flowers, Elegant Circle and Elegant Occasion Sentiments! These images make any focal point on your card special and unique and work perfectly together!  For my first project I chose the center die from the Elegant Circle Set. I used copper, rose gold and silver foil and cut each piece down to the size of my foil plate. I decided on my card stock I wanted to foil on and chose a sentiment from the Elegant Occasion Sentiment Set. Once my Glimmer Hot Foil System was ready, my images were foiled onto my card stock one by one using a different color of foil for each image. When I was done setting my images, I used one of my dies from the Hemstitch Rectangle Set to cut out my panel and used my tape runner to adhere it to my Standard A2 size side folding card base. This card may look complicated but the Glimmer System makes these cards simple and quick to complete!  For my second image I used the Foil Flowers Die Set and the Elegant Occasion Sentiments and grabbed many colors of card stock to foil my images on! The Glimmer Hot Foil System comes with everything you need to immediately start creating beautiful projects, yes, including dies! I used one of them as my background for my card. Once all my images were done and die cut with the coordinating outline die, I was ready to start layering my card. My flowers were placed on opposite corners of my oval using liquid adhesive and foam tape for added dimension and texture! After my flowers were set, I had a beautiful backdrop for my sentiment! Set my panel onto my Standard A2 Size side folding card base. Here are just some of the products I used for these projects...

But Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree  Hello Everyone! Today I am going to be creative with the Tall Triangle Set and the Believe Sugar Script Sentiment Die! Hard to images a die so simple in shape can have so many possibilities! GIVEAWAY ALERT - make sure you read to the end of this post to get all the details!!!! For this card I wanted a deco or modern feel. So I went with a strong copper metallic card stock and shades of green and teal for my triangle die cuts. I layered most directly on top of each other using liquid adhesive but chose one layer on each triangle set to be popped up using my foam squares.  These were placed on my copper panel on an angel and trimmed of the edges even with my design base on the top and bottom.  For my sentiment I used the Believe Sugar Script die. I cut multiple sentiments from black card stock and one from copper mirror to match the background. Once these were set, I placed my sentiment between my two triangles. I used my liquid adhesive to secure my panel to my standard A2 size top folding card base (4 1/4 inch x 5 1/2 inch).

Don’t’ forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE to my channel! Always Remember... Be Inspired, Be Creative, ENJOY and SHARE what you create today! ~ Desiree Spellbinders New Collections Inspiration BLOG HOP! featuring Exquisite Splendor by Marisa Job12/19/2018  Hello Everyone! Today let's celebrate a new release by Spellbinders! ...and let's HOP as well! There are several product lines to chose from in this release. I will be featuring Exquisite Splendor by Marisa Job, but I encourage you to check out the other arrivals also... They are Great, Big, Wonderful World by Sharyn Sowell and Destinations China by Lene Lok! As always these dies are well crafted and take our paper crafting skills to the next level!  While making our cards today I wanted to create the back panes using glitter! We all have tons of this and it seems to keep growing on its own... So let's dig in and get glittery (I know not a word, but it sounds cute, right?)  For my First project I used the Leaf Border die... I layers two colors of glitter when I created my panel and then cut out the same colors in my card stock and created a shadow. This helped to allow my focal point to stand out and give the image of a shadow panel...  Next up is the A2 Tulip Flower Frame die... This die will fit perfectly on the front of your Standard A2 size card base (4 1/4 inc x 5 1/2 in). There are so many possibilities and techniques you can use for this die. I chose my glitter background and also used card stock close tot he colors and added them on top to add dimension!  For my final card I used the Swirly Doily die and I was very much inspired by the picture on the back of the packaging! I used the die to cut both my focal point and a section out of my panel... Once you get your dies you will be creating many projects to come.... |
Getting Inky, suffering paper cuts, cutting using metal dies and stamping everything... These are just some of the fun and mischievous ways together we will create paper art! So stay and be motivated and inspired! ...and let me know what inspires your creativity!
