Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Fun Stamper Journey and Spellbinders creating something a little different than previous kits.

For today's project let's create a Flip Book!  Flip Books are a great way to capture those memories and it looks great on a shelf!

To put this together I used the Fun Stampers Journey Flip Book Steel Rule Die in my Spellbinders Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  After my pieces were cut out I started to assemble my Flip Book using liquid adhesive.

I used the Stamp of the Month Kit (coordinating dies available separately), to embellished my book and then colored my images using the FSJ Color Burst Colored Pencil Set!

Used 1 1/2 inch rings to bind my book and added ribbon tied in knots!

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Spellbinders and their Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month...  For today's project let's create a faux die cut inlay technique...

I love die cutting and paper piecing sections of the die back together...  but sometimes there are just many pieces and it could take forever and a day to complete, LOL...  and we all know usually we are pressed for time to create a card because we all wait until the last minute, right?

With this technique, we can use the die itself and our die cutting machine to create the impression of the die...

For today I  made two examples, the first with just card stock and the other using a watercolor background...  This die is a nice size and will fill a 5 inch x 7 inch card base!

Hello Everyone,

I am here today with Spellbinders and we are going to create a Birthday card using the Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the month for August!

These banners are perfect for your card making day whether you need shimmer from the foil or just the die cut image!

In this month's kit you get the plates for a solid foil effect and the outline dies to create the banner shape!

Hello Everyone!

I am here with Spellbinders and their Card Kit of the Month for August 2019!  My favorite part of this kit are the die cuts and the layering I can create with each card...

This month's theme is 'Hang with Me!' and has the most adorable sloth die set....  I made 10 cards from this kit and still have so many embellishments and die cuts left to make 10 more!

Hello Everyone!

I here today trying something completely out of my comfort zone!  As I was scrolling around YouTube, catching up on all my videos, I watch a video by Jennifer McGuire and she had designed some Bridge Cards!  I fell in love with them... So this post and video are completely inspired by her, thank you!

But I must admit, I was very intimidated by the process...  But someone in my group gave me challenge, so here it is!

What I found while making these cards was the ability to use what is in your stash!  This was perfect for that...  I found some great dies by Spellbinders that I have not even had a chance to use and they were perfect for the look I was going for!

I even pulled in another technique she showed a few weeks ago and I will be trying that soon as well, so stay tuned!

Want to give these are try?  Here are the dimensions for your card base to cut!

Portrait Card Base:
Cut your card stock 5 3/4 inches (wide) x 5 1/2 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 5 3/4 inch side at 3/4 inches and then at 1 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner

Landscape Card Base:
Cut your card stock 8 inches (wide) x 4 1/4 inches (tall) and then you will score along the 8 inch side at 1 1/4 inches and then at 2 1/2 inches - turn your card stock and score the opposite end in the same manner

Hello Everyone!

Here today with Spellbinders and creating a card using a die set from the Happy Collection by Sharyn Sowell!  The die set is called Let's All Party!  It has the best critter images possible...

For today's project I used distress oxide ink for my coloring.  Instead of using a blending tool I took the ink pad direct to paper to lay down my color!  I chose different shade to a rainbow color and added a little grey for my images.  Die cut my images using my Spellbinder Platinum 6 machine and set them in place using my liquid adhesive and double sided foam squares.  My card panel was placed onto a standard A2 size side folding card base (4 1/4 inches x 5 1/2 inches).

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with the Fun Stampers Journey Stamp Kit of the Month for July!  Age of the Aquarium is this months theme and there is a perfect die set (sold separately) so you can create your own fish tank!

This is fun set to create an aquatic theme card for any occasion!

For my card I created two backgrounds and then used my circle dies to cut their shape and layered the two together.  I stamped my images using vibrant colors for the fish and the greenery and placed them along the bottom and throughout my scene...

Hello Everyone!

I am here today with Spellbinders and their Amazing Paper Grace Die Kit of the Month for July 2019!

When I saw this die set, I immediately thought of the 'Secret Garden' gate...  I chose white and ivory card stock as my base colors and pulled out a past Large Die Kit of the Month called Cherish!  It was perfect for the accenting vines and flowers for my gate...

My card base is a 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 side folding card.  This card is perfect for any special occasion you want to celebrate!

Hello Everyone!

I am here with Spellbinders today, creating with their Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month Club for July!   When I saw these plates, I was excited!  We can never have enough sentiments in our stash...

These sentiments are beautiful with two style fonts to celebrate any occasion!

For my project today I dug into my stash and found a die set called 'Daisy' and I knew it would be perfect for the sentiment I chose!  I cut my flowers and then added shading using my distress inks.

I foiled my sentiment using low tack washi tape (thank you Yana for this trick - it is a life saver...LOL) to ensure it would foil exactly where I wanted it! Pleased my die cuts around the sentiment using liquid adhesive and double sided foam squares...

Placed my design panel onto my standard A2 size card base (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) and our project is complete!
