Fresh Picked Vase Just Because card

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a fun card from the Fresh Picked collection by Spellbinders. This month Spellbinders released 3 die sets to this collection, this is the first time I've used a die set from this collection and I just love how it turned out.

FRESH PICKED VASE BOUQUET

 

 The die set is called Fresh Picked Vase Bouquet and it's designed to fill the entire card front of an A2 sized card. The sentiment is from the new Curved Everyday Sentiments Glimmer. I love the variety of sentiments in this set. I glimmered a variety of colors to keep in my stash so I can grab and adhere.

I used a color combination from the Color Cube Volume 2 and I just love how the colors pop together.

To create the detailing in the vase, I die cut a second vase then embossed it with the Leafy Helix embossing folder. Then I trimmed a strip near the bottom and adhered Champagne Glitter cardstock to both sides. For the details along the top I used the tiny flower centers. I just love the extra wow factor the glitter cardstock adds!

Spellbinders Glimmering Buttercups - 2 card designs

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing 2 cards using the Glimmering Flowers collection by Spellbinders.This collection features two A2 sized floral glimmer plates, 1 glimmer sentiment plate with dies and a coordinating layering stencil sets for both of the florals!

GLIMMERING BUTTERCUPS AND CURVED EVERYDAY SENTIMENTS

 My first card uses the Glimmering Buttercups plate and a sentiment from the Curved Everyday Sentiments. I foiled the buttercups with black foil and stenciled them with shades of yellow with cool toned blue green leaves.

I love that this collection has coordinating layering stencils. These are large images and for crafters who are intimidated by lots of coloring, layering stencils are a great solution at a really great price. The Glimmering Buttercups glimmer plate WITH layering stencils is $12.59 more than the plate alone.

I wanted to bring out more of the green in the leaves, so I foiled the sentiment with green foil. I love how it turned out!

 

GLIMMERING BUTTERCUPS AND WONDERFUL SCRIPT SENTIMENTS
 

For my second card, I went with a no-coloring and clean look. I foiled the Glimmering Buttercups plate with Pastel Mint (from the 4 pack of Satin Pastels) and trimmed it down to fill the lower left side.

I added a few gold gems to the centers and added a die cut sentiment and was done! This card was pretty easy to make, especially when I have a variety of sentiments already foiled and die cut in my stash.

Tim Holtz Vault Watch Gears card

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com and sharing inspiration for the Tim Holtz Vault 2 Everyday release. This release celebrates 15 years of collaboration between Tim Holtz and Sizzix and they brought back 5 die sets reimagined with new sizes!

For my mini slimline card, I used the amazing gear dies from the Vault Watch Gears set #66603. I die cut them from silver mirror, holographic and forest green cardstock and I lightly stenciled the background using the Halftone stencil using Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink. I wish the camera captured the wonderful sparkle of the holographic paper better, in photos it shows up as a blueish color which is misleading.

All of the accent "dots" I used around the gears are the negative pieces from the gears die cuts. I love to save all my die cut bits and pieces to see what I can use as accents! It's a great way to coordinate accents perfectly.

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks for a few more cards using these amazing die sets. In the meantime, be sure to check out the entire release and take advantage of Scrapbook.com's pricing, coupon codes and freebies you get with each order!

The other sets are Vault Boutique, Vault Matchbox, Vault World Travel, Vault Picture Show.

Pretty Pink Peonies card

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing one last card from the Let's Celebrate collection by Yana Smakula for Spellbinders. In case you missed my other cards showcasing this release you can check them out HERE and HERE and HERE. This entire collection is so lovely you should check it out!

PEONY CELEBRATION DIE SET

 

My card uses the Peony Celebration die set from the collection and I used the Fluted Circles die set for the background. I added a strip of black and white stripes patterned paper edged with a 1/8" strip of black cardstock to give the peony a nice contrast.

I used vellum for my peony outline because I wanted something solid to adhere the peony die cut pieces to, and have it blend in with the background. I love the effect of using vellum! I used white cardstock for the outline and leaves and used 2 shades of pink and pieced the peony petals.

It's hard to see in the photos, but there is a touch of shimmer to the pink petals. I used a couple of my glitter brush markers. They are quick and easy with a huge impact!

APRIL 2024 SMALL DIE, WAX SEAL AND STENCIL OF THE MONTH

April's Small Die of the Month is called Faux Stitched Sentiments and Floss and features the components of stitching Floss and 4 sentiments! I combined it with April's Stencil of the Month, called Rainbow Floss Background which is has 4 stencils and fills an A2 card background with 6 floss images.

I stenciled the background with Light and Dark Spruce inks and trimmed it down to 4 floss pieces. I added a small strip of black glitter cardstock from the Jewel Tone Glitter Cardstock pack and adhered it down the left side. And of course my card has a few flower accents, these are from the Mini Blooms and Sprigs die set along with some gold pearls.

This month's Wax Seal of the Month is called Cross Stitch Heart and I really love it. I think it can be used for many occasions as well as on envelopes. The impression is nice and deep, and I thought the heart stitches were perfect for a Sending Love sentiment. The wax beads this month are Cloudy Sky which is a gorgeous french blue which set the color scheme for all my cards!

I used a few die sets from the Sealed by Spellbinders collection on this card. One of my favorites called Sealed Squiggles along with Sealed Wildflowers and Sealed Leaf Sprigs. For some extra shine I added some Clear Shimmer Glimmer Brush Marker to the die cut flowers.
I thought the color palette in the Butterfly Garden 6x6 paper pack and picked one with some flowers and leaves down both sides. I fussy cut a butterfly from one of the papers as an accent along with silver pearls. I just love how it turned out!
