Spellbinders Poppy Song - Clean and Simple Thanks card

Hi crafty friends! I'm back with another card using some of the gorgeous Poppy Song collection by Spellbinders. I kept my card clean and simple card today keeping everything white with pops of pink and gold.

LEAF & BLOOM DIE SET AND FAVORITE SONG 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
 

My cards use the Leaf & Bloom die set which I die cut from the Craft Consortium Ink Blot Candy paper pad with satin gold for the stems. The partial embossed background uses the Favorite Song 3D embossing folder. 

The sentiment is from a retired press and foil set. I added a few gold gems and a piece of white and gold twine for the final touches. I love how this turned out!

Hero Arts Tranquil Garden collection

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing 2 super clean and simple card designs using the sets from the new Tranquil Garden collection from Hero Arts. 

My cards use the Lotus Flower die set and sentiments from the Lovely Labels Press and Foil plates. I added some interest to my lotus flowers by sprinkling in a small pattern paper on a few of the die cuts and adding some ink blending and glitter pen to the tips. I think these simple technique adds so much to the overall look. 💗

For the sentiment, I kept it simple and just pressed them with black ink. The set comes with 4 sentiments, dies to cut them out as well as 3 frame options and a die for them as well. The sentiments are for very timeless and can be used on many cards!
 

Here are the sets I used: 

Lotus Flower die set (set of 33) $22.99 

 Lovely Labels Press and Foil plates (set of 12) $21.99

My baby card duo uses the Rainbow Arches die set combined with the Birthday Bunting die set for the BABY letters. The soft muted neutral colors and patterns are from the A2 Darling paper pad.

Stitched Coral die set, quick and easy card trio

 Hi crafty friends!  I have a quick and easy trio of cards to share today from the Pretty Pink Posh June release!! 

Scroll down for a complete list of supplies 

To create my subtle background, I did the acetate smooshing technique with Broken China Distress Oxide Ink. I then die cut the panels with the Essential Stylish Ovals die set. I inked up a variety of the Stitched Coral die cuts and arranged them in groups of 3. I kept it clean with a simple sentiment and some black splatter from the Black Lustre brush.

The sentiments are from the Sentiment Strips: Summer stamp set. I wanted some sparkle, so I added stickles to the stitched lines in the die cuts. 

I love how these turned out! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Quick and Easy Butterfly card trio

 Hi crafty friends! This clean and simple card trio features and adorable Nordic Belle Butterfly die set by Poppystamps which is part of the Nordic Spring release! Scroll down for complete supply list.

This pretty butterfly has 3 layers, so after die cutting with 3 colors of cardstock, you have enough die cuts to mix and match and make 3 butterflies! I used this as a jumping off point to make a trio of CAS cards. Designing my cards with some cardstock and pattern paper stripes, and a simple sentiment made these quick and easy!

 I have more details and a tip to assemble the butterfly over on the Poppystamps blog.💖

Spellbinders Just Sayin Collection -3 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! Spellbinders launched a new super fun and playful collection this month called Just Sayin' by Kelly Bangs. 😍

This collection has both 12x12 and 6x6 paper pads, a die set, embossing folder, ephemera and more!

I have 3 cards to share today, be sure to scroll down for a complete supplies list.

 First up is a simple card using the Speech Bubbles die set and the Just Sayin' 6x6 paper pad. I layered the dies and used the frame outline, I accented each frame with a piece of the Just Sayin' Die Cuts with a gem in the center and a sentiment from the coordinating Speech Bubbles Sentiment stamp set.

My second card is a super CAS Hello card using the Speech Bubbles die set and the Just Sayin' 6x6 paper pad. I die cut the bubbles from pattern paper and cardstock. I kept it super simple with a few embellishments and a single sentiment.

My third card is kind of a hodge podge. I did a little stitching (yes, my sewing machine is still out), used a single circle die cut as grounding for a few pieces of ephemera from the Just Sayin' Die Cuts pack. And lastly added a few gems for some sparkle.

Spellbinders December 2024 Wax Seal Club - 2 card designs

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing 2 cards using the November Wax Seal of the Month by Spellbinders. If you missed my card using the Small Die of the Month, you can find it HERE. This month's theme is Love/Valentine's and each of the clubs are fabulous! The sign up goes through the 27th, so there's still time! Check out what I made and scroll down for all the products used.

Club subscription info:  

The new subscription sign up window is from the 6th to the 27th.  After existing club members subscriptions have been processed, any inventory remaining will be available for new subscriptions.

This month's Wax Seal stamp is called "Scalloped Heart" and it is an oval shape. The heart and scallops are deeply etched, so it is easy to go over it with a metallic pen. I opted for a clean look and skipped the pen.

 

Both my cards use super cute Echo Park Valentines paper called Love Notes and I chose my wax bead color to compliment the papers. The first card uses my all time favorite Sealed Stems die set called Sealed Wildflowers and the second card uses a simple sentiment from my stash.

I love how these turned out!

Papertrey Ink Trees 'N Patterns - 2 card designs

 Hi crafty friends! I have two more Christmas cards to share today. I'm almost done, but I still have a few more to make! My cards use a new Papertrey Ink stamp/die set from their November Christmas release. One card leans rustic and the other is super CAS!

All supplies used are linked below.

 

 Both my cards use the Trees 'N Patterns stamp set which is such a fun stamp set! There are 2 tree sizes, each have 4 layers each and are a 2-step stamping with a solid stamp and a decorative stamp. There are some small stars and 4 sentiments! 💖

This card has a bit of a rustic vibe to it. I stamped the trees with the Gina K Spruce inks (light, medium and dark) I LOVE that the colors layer perfectly. I added some Snowtek to the ends of the tree layers and inked the edges of the trees and my die cut layers with Vintage Photo ink. I wanted a pop of red, so I die cut the "Merry" sentiment from red cardstock and stamped the "Christmas" in red ink. I also used some red/white twine and added a few red gems.

The background paper is from the Scrapbookcom Holiday A2 paper pad.

I had a few trees leftover and made a super CAS card with one. I cut off the bottom layer of the smaller tree and placed it over a die cut circle. I put a piece of embossed cardstock behind it for some texture. I made a circle ring from glitter cardstock and added some iridescent gems to the tree. A simple sentiment in dark green keeps the serene CAS vibe.

I love how both of these turned out!

Gina K Designs October release - Missing You Turtles card

Hi crafty friends! I'm sharing a water colored turtle card using the new Serene Sea Life stamp set by Gina K Designs. There are quite a products released this month including and you can check them all out HERE.

SERENE SEA LIFE STAMP SET

There are quite a few sea critters in this set, but my son's favorite animal is turtles, so I chose this lovely image. I wanted to do some simple water coloring, so after I made the sea background, I stamped the image with Versafine black ink and heat embossed it in clear. I googled sea turtles and found them to have the most gorgeous rich brown tones for their shell, so I went with those colors.

I kept things pretty clean and simple, so I added a few dew drop adhesive gems from my stash and a small black and white striped paper along the bottom. I adhered the turtles on the card base with 1mm foam adhesive for a little dimension. I really love how this turned out!

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

AUGUST SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH AND BE BOLD BLOOMS DIE SET

These sentiments will be a staple in your collection. I used them in a slightly different way. I die cut them from white cardstock and lightly inked them with light blue ink and used them as a background for a few simple flowers from the Be Bold Blooms die set.

Spellbinders Fair Winds collection - Clean and Simple card

 Hi everyone! I have a clean and simple card to share today showcasing a die and stamp set from the new Fair Winds Collection designed by Dawn Woleslagle for Spellbinders.

This nautical collection is full of Dawn's signature seascape charm and beautifully detailed scenes. There are 3 die sets, 1 stencil set and a sentiment stamp and die set. Something for everyone!

GUIDING LIGHT AND FAIR WINDS SENTIMENTS STAMP/DIE SET

I used the Guiding Light die set which has a fabulous lighthouse with tons of details, 2 sizes of rocks with shadow details and even 2 seagulls. The Fair Winds Sentiments stamp/die set features 13 nautical themed sentiments and 7 coordinating dies.

I wanted to keep my card super clean and simple, so I lightly stenciled some clouds and ink blended water for the background, added my lighthouse and 2 rocks, a few seagulls flying by. I stamped the sentiment directly on to the card to keep with the clean look.

JUNE 2024 WAX SEAL OF THE MONTH

June's Wax Seal of the Month is called Sun and Waves and I really love it. Like all of Spellbinders' wax seal stamps, the impression is nice and deep making it really easy to add gold metallic pen to the details. The wax beads this month are the Must-Have Wax Bead mix in Teal. This mix has 4 colors of Gold, Teal, Pastel Aqua and Laguna. LOVE this mix!

I wanted to keep this card super clean and simple, so I die cut a few of the smallest dies from Nested Postage Labels & Tag die set in white and adhered them a bit wonky. I added 2 bloom stems from the Sealed Blooms die set and added a bit of coloring to the blooms.

The sentiment is from the Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer. I used gold foil on Blue Spruce cardstock for another pop of teal.
