Susan Tierney-Cockburn Double and Single Peonies die set

Hi crafty friends! You all know I love a pretty flower die and today I'm sharing a card using one of the flower dies from the latest collection from Susan Tierney-Cockburn for Spellbinders. The collection is called The Poet's Garden and features 4 flowers and 1 sentiment set.

DOUBLE AND SINGLE PEONIES AND PERFECT TOUCHES ARCHES DIES

My card uses the Double and Single Peonies die set which is popped up on layered arches die cut from the Perfect Touch Arches die set. The sentiment is from the A Little Message press and die set.

To start, I embossed my card front with the Tiny Dots embossing folder. I wanted some texture as my background, so this folder was perfect. I die cut my arches from white and kraft cardstock and before layering together, I added black splatter to the white panel. It's been awhile since I used my stitched ribbon and I thought it would perfectly frame my peony! I used a few lilac gems for the final touches. I love how this turned out!

Spellbinders This Is Life collection

Hi crafty friends! OK I think we most of us will agree things in the US are pretty much a dumpster fire right now. So the timing for the This Is Life collection is spot on!! We need to keep our joy and sense of humor when faced with trying and difficult times, and this collection helped me with that.

DUMPSTER FIRE STAMP AND DIE SET

My cards use the new Dumpster Fire stamp and die set which features a dumpster die set and nine hilarious sentiments. I kept things clean and simple with some cardstock strips. My cards are pretty much the same, just different strip layout and sentiments.

To add a bit of sparkle, I used my Sunshine Yellow Glimmer Brush marker. Quick, easy and no glitter fallout!! I love these and stay tuned for more inspiration from this and other January collections.

Spellbinders Classic Mouse Love collection, 3 card designs

Hi crafty friends! It's release day over at Spellbinders and today I'm sharing some inspiration using the new add on Valentines themed products for the Classic Mouse collection. This Add-on collection is called Classic Mouse Love.

STEAMBOAT WILLIE AND CLASSIC MOUSE LOVE DIE SETS

My card uses the new Classic Mouse Love die set which features love themed items like balloons, hearts, chocolates, stemmed roses and a dashing hat for Mickey and a cute bow for Minnie. The sentiment is from the new Classic Mouse Love Sentiments press and die set.

The adorable pattern paper is from the A2 Valentine paper pad.

Next up are 2 cards using the Classic Mouse Rub-Ons from the collection. These are so cute and are transfer to paper very easily!
I was super excited to see the papers from the A2 Enchanted paper pad (which is Mickey Mouse themed) by Scrapbook.com perfectly match the colors of these rub-ons! I used a piece of the striped paper and die cut arches from the coordinating A2 Watercolor paper pad.

I love how these turned out!

Rub-on tip: Die cut your shaped panel before you apply the rub-on. This will ensure there are no "impressions" from a used cutting plate pressed into the image.
