Hello Everyone!

I am back with another video for Spellbinders!  Today I am featuring A Charming Christmas by Becca Feeken.  These dies are amazing and a wonderful addition for your holiday card making this year!

My card I used the Charming Christmas Bough Die Set.  This has a beautiful frame die and includes the perfect size ornaments!  I pulled out a past paper pad by Spellbinders from one of their previous card kits! I knew those ornaments had to be hung from the frame.  

I waned to make sure my sentiment was a elegant as my card so I pulled out sentiment pack called Christmas Sentiments from the Zenspirations collection.

My second card, well project actually, makes a beautiful Pocket Tag!  This die set is called a Charming Pocket Tag!  I am it is perfect for any occasion...  I used the traditional Holiday colors in deep reds and greens with a kraft paper making the pocket.  This is a very simple die set to work with to create many more tags for your gift giving this season!

I chose to use a die for my sentiment from the Naughty or Nice D-Lites Set!

Both projects were easy and simple to put together in no time!  See just how in the video below!

Hello Everyone!

I am here with the Spellbinder's Monthly Card Kit for October!  I am absolutely in love with this palette!

The soft pastels and florals are beautiful and coordinate with everything you get in this kit.  Watercolor is the theme for this one and they do not disappoint in these choices...

Here are just a few of the designs I created using the paper and die cuts. In their kits they provide 10 pre-scored card bases and envelopes.  But you can create so much more!  We do not need to limit ourselves...

So sit back and take some time to watch the video to see exactly what you will get in your kit, and also the other cards I made...  ENJOY!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the Spellbinder's Holiday Blog Hop!  Today we are featuring some wonderful collections being released!  My projects will feature the Zenspired Holidays Collection by Joanne Fink! I am such a doodler and I love the fact these cards look as if they were drawn by hand!

For my first card I just had to use the Dangling Ornaments along with my Distress Oxides.  I started by creating a blended background cut down to 4 1/4 in x 5 1/2 in. I sprayed the background to give it some texture for an added touch. I stamped my images in white pigment ink and then heat set with white embossing powder! I wanted to make my ornaments stand out even more, to do that I used my oxides as watercolors and painted some of the focal areas. Once everything was dry I added some NuVo Drop Embellishments for some added dimension.

My second card is featuring the Christmas Candy Canes Stamp and Die Set!  I think it is wonderful you get a die for each stamp in this set and their are two candy cane facing in opposite directions!  No Mirror Stamping Here!

I stamped my images using an alcohol marker friendly ink and colored away!  Cut my images using the coordinating dies once my coloring was finished. Adhered my candy canes using my liquid adhesive and double sided foam tape!  Finally, what card is complete without some glitter!

Hello Everyone!

I am back with another reveal for Spellbinders for their September 2018 Card Kit! 

Dies, Stamp Set,Paper Pad and all the embellishments you could  ask for in one kit!  They provide 10 Card bases and envelopes, but trust me you can make so many more cards from this kit! 

So let's dig right in!

For my first card, I just had to use the dies to form my bug!  This is a perfect die with a lot of detail.  I used the solid and mirrored card stock that came in the kit!  I cut out my sentiment three times to add some dimension onto my card.  

For my second card I could not resist all the wonderful die cuts.  I when I say all and really a whole lot!  There were so many to choose from but I immediately fell in love with the floral and the typewriter!  This card remind me of a journal page...

They stamp set included comes with man images.  With the whale there are actually two images that can be layered with no problem at all!  I puled out some inks to blend on the solid stamp and then used the line stamp to add definition to the image!

Of course there are a few more cards completed, so check out the video below to see all the wonderful details!

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to Spellbinder's Special Moments by Marisa Job and Inked Messages by Stephanie Low Stamp and Die Sets Bog Hop!  Today I will be showing some wonderful products form the Inked Messages product line.  Both are beautiful and I am very glad Spellbinders made the decision for me!, LOL...

My first card I used the Bloom Where You are Planted Set and pulled out my distress inks!  For my background I stamped with both floral images using Simon Says Stamp Barley Beige Ink.  I love this ink pad when I watercolor. I can't explain why, I just love the effects it provides when Watercolor is applied over it!  I used picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and wild honey and created a flat wash for my background.  I then used tumbled glass, broken china and evergreen bough for my florals and I used my gold embossing powder to give a barriers for my coloring.  Once all dry everything was placed on top of my standard A2 size top folding card base.

For my next card i used the Rough Waters Stamp and Die set!  These images are beautiful and so detailed!  I could not resist puling out my alcohol markers for these images.  I first stamped them with my memento black ink and then colored my images using corals and greens for the flowers and grays and browns for my anchor and rope...  One they were colored I then placed my panels back into my stamp positioner and used my versamark ink so I cold heat emboss with gold. What a difference how my images looked!  I pulled my Deckled Edge Frame die from Spellbinders to cut a background panel I created using distress oxide inks (tumbled glass, broken china and faded jeans). I placed my images on top of my standard A2 size top folding card base.

For my final card I used A Rose by any other Name Stamp and Die Set. I really kept it simple and once I saw this rose I pulled out my colored pencils. I used my Gina K Amalgam Black Ink and really enjoyed coloring in my rose!  My medium of choice are colored pencils!  You name the set and I bet I have it, LOL.  After my image was colored I used the die to cut it out...  I used one my colored pencils to create my own splatters on my card base, it works great in a pinch! Added my sentiment and rose on top of my standard A2 size card base.

Hello Everyone!

​Let's create with some embossing folders!  What is special about these folders is their are dies embedded into them!  Yes you can cut AND emboss in one pass...  How easier can it get!

For my first card I used the Blooming Sprigs Folder.  I just had to pull out my distress oxides for my background, placed my bristol paper into my folder and ran it through my machine! Grabbed a scrap piece of card stock to fill in the areas die cut 

Next up, Flower Garden.  For some reason when I saw this design I knew I had to grab my vellum and try this out!  First time I ever used vellum in an embossing folder...  I love it when we take those chances, sometimes they are the most beautiful!

Finally, Botanical Frame...  Photos or Videos do no justice to this design...  I had to grab my Distress Oxides for a blended background creating a soft glow around the edge of the card panel.  I accented the top with a bow and some Nuvo Gloss Drops for the flower centers.
