Flower Mini 3D Wax Seal Thinking of You Card

 Hi crafty friends! I have a fun card to share today. Even though I no longer receive the Spellbinders Wax Seal of the Month club, I still really do love working with wax seals! And this month Spellbinders came out with MINI 3D wax seals and they are stunning! 3D wax seals really do have amazing depth.

The Mini 3D Wax Seals collection has 5 designs and I used the Flower Mini 3D wax seal for my card. These wax seal stamps are 1/2" in diameter, which is half the size of a standard wax seal. You only need to melt 2 wax beads for this size.

I wanted to branch out with different colors on this card, so I went with a few shades of orange. I thought the flower design wax seal would go perfectly on a flower card, so I pulled out my beloved Be Bold Blooms die set and started die cutting! For the background, I used my much neglected Zig Zag Chevron card front die and inlaid a few strips of a light and dark orange cardstock.

I had a few sentiments left over from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments and Thinking of You fit perfectly. Lastly, I added few gold pearls accents which complimented the gold pen accents on my wax seal. I love how this turned out!

Field Notes Collection, Make A Wish card

 Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing this simple pretty wildflower birthday card.

The pretty floral stem is part of the new Field Notes collection from Spellbinders. This collection features die sets, embossing folders and BetterPress plates all with a theme of documenting, collecting and sketching a botanical garden! Perfect for the plant life lover!

The flower stem is from the Field Notes Wildflowers die set and I colored the blooms with Copic markers (V01, V04, V09). I wanted to feature the simple wildflower, so I used the Molded 3D embossing folder and trimmed out the center with an Xacto knife/scissors leaving a frame. I adhered the flower and twine/bow over a piece of pattern paper and added the frame with foam adhesive strips. The twine and bow are from the Field Notes Twine die set and I die cut from glitter cardstock. Lastly, I added some Spectrum AB gems and a sentiment from my stash from the Cheers to You Sentiment press plate set.

I love how this turned out!

Spellbinders Yana's Daisies Collection, Day 3 Inspiration

 Hi crafty friends! I'm in my monochromatic era at the moment. The current Simon Says Challenge over on IG is to make monochromatic cards and I kinda ran with it! This is Day 3 of my inspiration of Yana Smakula's new collection with Spellbinders called Yana's Daisies, and today my card focuses on the Daisy Trio Press plate and stencil set. 

Check it out and scroll down for the supply list.

DAISY TRIO BETTERPRESS AND STENCIL BUNDLE AND CRAFTY HUGS SENTIMENTS PRESS PLATES AND DIE SET

 

I used 3 of the 5 stencils, omitting the 2 stencils that color the petals. I love how there is a stencil that casts a shadow! I've not seen this before and it is gorgeous! I wanted to add a bit of color to the stems and centers while keeping things in the blue family, so I used a light blue/green ink. 

 To keep things blue, I added some glitter to the daisy petals using a Glitter Brush marker in Frosty Blue (which is a pale blue color) and added a few Fairy Drops to the centers.
 

Just in case you missed my first monochromatic card, I'll post it for you again.

This card was inked with a deep orange ink and had no stenciling.

What do you think? Do you like monochromatic cards? I love how these turned out!

Spellbinders Yana's Daisies Collection, Day 2 Inspiration

 Hi crafty friends! This is Day 2 of my inspiration of Yana Smakula's brand new collection with Spellbinders called Yana's Daisies. Today, my card focuses on the Yana's Daisies die set.

My sister's favorite color is purple and this card is for her, so I wanted this to be a sparkly purple dream 💜I die cut Yana's Daisies with 3 shades of purple and pieced them into the frame. I used vellum as the shadow piece, so I would have something to glue the daisy pieces into that didn't detract from the card overall.

I put the daisies on top of the gorgeous  Molded Frame 3D embossing folder, Yana said she was inspired by her cabinet doors for this design. I really like it, you can trim it from both the outside and inside and end up with very different and amazing results!

 Can you see the sparkle and shine in this photo? I used 3 specialty papers from Box 1 by Your Paper Insider. These specialty subscription boxes have at least 20 sheets and are $29.95 w/ free shipping.

I used these on my card:

Cosmo Vanilla Pearl - Embossed background

Touche Black Smooth - Daisy centers and sentiment (this has a soft velvet feel)

Holographic Confetti Dots White - Daisy outline
