The Ton November Release

Hi friends. Today we're celebrating The Ton November release and it's a good one. I am excited that we have pretty good size release. First up, I am showcasing the Winter Bear Layering Stencil set. After seeing so many layered floral stencil, it is so refreshing to finally get a layered critter stencil. I love this bear! Since this is a pretty quick coloring with the stencil, it's great for mass production.



Next, I am showcasing Dazzling Daisies set paired with Nested Striped Border Dies.



I love, love how detailed the petals of these daisies are. And, love it even more that I can get all the pieces with 1 run through the die-cut machine. I die cut all the pieces using white cardstock and do the coloring afterwards. If you want a fuller flower you can use all4 layer in 1 flower or if you want a less dense flower, then just use 2 layer. Here, I used all 4 layer for the top flower and use 2 layer for the bottom flowers.

Die cut the frame using one of the die from Nested Striped Border Dies. Colored it by ink blending Spring Salad ink on it, followed by adhering the flowers and leaves. Added sentiment from an older set that I have on my sentiment piles and finally finished by adding some white dots and enamel drops.

Hope you enjoy this month's release. Please check out what the team has created and let us know what you love from this release. Thank you for stopping by here and for all the support. Cheers...

'Tis The Season

Hi peeps. Today I want to pop in to share the latest Spellbinders Stitched Die of the Month . This time I get to combine the stitched frame with one my favorite set Party Puggles and use these every day set to create Christmas card. 
Please note: Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you and, please make sure your cookies are enabled. As always, I appreciate your support of my blog.



I start by die cutting the stitched frame and did the stitching. I almost did cross stitching, but then I think the slanted one line stitch looks more modern and clean looking. Die cut all the Pug pieces and put it together. For the poinsettia I used Delivering Joy Sleigh Etched Die set. Put everything together.

And I also enhanced the card base by adding a wide strip of cardstock and super thin one to add interest. I am happy to add another Pug Christmas card to my stash. I hope you enjoy today's card. That's all for me today. Till next time.

Shine Bright

Hi friends. I want to share a couple cards I made using Spellbinders Layered Shine Bright Stencil & Shine Bright Etched Dies.




For my first card I went with bright colors. After inking up the stencil, I placed the sentiment outline dies on top of the stenciled area and run it through. Once that done, I adhere the cut out piece with foam adhesive. Then I die cut the letters from white cardstock and adhere it to the sentiment. Once that done,  I die cut the letters again from sparkle adhesive paper and adhere it to the card. Totally made this card super sparkly! Finish by die cutting the smallest disco ball from Disco Balls Etched Dies set. colored the disco ball using Layered Disco Impression Stencil.

For my next card, I decided to repeat the card, but this time with softer colors and cut the outline of the sentiment using vellum.



 

Finish the card by adding some enamel drops. I couldn't quite decide which one I like better. The bright one looks so cheerful, but I am a fan of soft colors. Which one do you prefer?

That's all I have for today. Hope you enjoy today's cards. Till next time.

Disco Balls

 Hi there. Am popping in  to share these cards I made using Spellbinders Disco Impression Better Press Plate and Sparkle Background Glimmer Plate.


Instead of doing letter press, I used the better press plate for hot foiling. I used Gold Foil for the card above and Speckled Prism Foil roll for the card below. To add color I used the Layered Disco Impression Stencil. These are such fun sets and my friend who owned a dance studio think this is perfect for the kids on her studio. So, am planning to make some more cards using these sets for sure.



For both card I used sentiment from Shine Bright Sentiment Strips Press Plate, I love the way both cards turned out and I hope you enjoy them as well. Thank you so much for stopping by. Cheers..

I Heart You

Hi there. Just popping in to share a couple project I made to showcase Spellbinders Heart Hand Etched dies.




For the first card above, for the background I made my own watercolor background. I draw line using watercolor markers on wet watercolor cardstock and then continue swiping the brush left to right till I got the look that I want. I actually used bigger sheet and you can see the other part of the background on a card I made on my previous blog post. Then arrange the hand die cut pieces and the beads. Sentiment from Stampendous All The Sentiments stamp & die set.

Then I made another card below. This one I used sentiment from Bestie Alphabet Beads & Sentiments Clear Stamp & Die set.


 Hope you enjoy today's projects. Happy Monday all!

Hi friends. I am excited to share my cards from this release. Today am showcasing Bestie Heart In Hand die set. This is such a cool & fun set & I plan on making a bunch of card with this set for my niece and for a friend of mine who has dance studio.




For the card above, I made my own watercolor rainbow background. Die cut the hand. For the bracelet I used Bestie Alphabet Bead Press Plate & Die set . Simply run the press plate & then run the die cut. Put everything together and finish with sentiment from Bestie Alphabet Beads & Sentiment stamp set.

I made another card just for fun, cause, why not, right?



For the next card I used the other hand that also part of  Bestie Heart In Hand .



I have to say that at first I wasn't sure how I feel about this die. But, once I play with it I really, really like it. You can use it for many different occasions. For now, since my dear friend own a dance studio and she thinks her students would love these cards, am making a bunch of dance theme cards.

Stitched Christmas Tree

Hello friends. Today I want to pop in to share the latest Spellbinders Stitched Die of the Month . Christmas is my favorite holiday and am also a fan of snow globe, so this set is totally perfect for me. Please note: Compensated affiliate links may be used at no cost to you and, please make sure your cookies are enabled.

I start by die cutting the snow globe part and then ink it up with blue ink. Die cut a hologram cardstock using the outline die and adhere it to the back of the colored snow globe. The hologram help added some shine to the card without overwhelming it. Next, die cut the pieces that needs to be stitched. Once done, die cut the Christmas tree base along with the sentiment. Then adhere the Christmas tree to the snow glove using foam adhesive. Finish by adding some enamel drops. In person this card actually sparkle pretty good as I used silver thread and the hologram shine pretty good from behind the holes.

Hope you enjoy today's post and thank you so much for stopping by here. Cheers...

Winter Garden Collection

 Hi friends. Today I am sharing a couple projects I made using  the new sets from Spellbinders Winter Grace's Garden collection. First up is the card I made using Spellbinders Paperwhite set and Vase Glass Etched die.



I die cut all the pieces and colored the leaves and the center of the flower. Also created the water look for the vase. Before covering the vase with vellum, I adhere some brown sequins to mimic pebbles. To frame the card, I die cut the frame using Hemstitch Rectangles Nestabilities and then I die cut the arch background using Essential Arches Etched die. Ink blending some green ink to create the gradient look and then adhere the vase and the flowers. Finished with sentiment from Always & Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate and some enamel drops.


Next, is the card featuring Cymbidium Orchid set. 




I die cut all the pieces from white cardstock and then ink up the flowers to get the chartreuse color. I am keeping the design for this card simple as I really want the orchid to take center stage.

And, peeps, that's all I have for today. Hope you enjoy the cards and also I hope somehow, some way in my little way I am inspire you to get crafty. Have a fantastic week friends.

Stitched Sunflower

Hello. Today, I am popping in to share the lewest Spellbinders Stitched Die of the Month . As soon as I see sunflower I am reminded that fall is coming and I am grateful for it because that means cooler weather! Anyway, I am keeping my card clean and simple as I think the sunflower speaks for itself.




 

The stitching on the petals really make the sunflower popped in my eyes. When attaching the sunflower to the card base, I only glue the middle part and let the petals free of any adhesive, this way, you can make the petals op when you want to display the card.

Sentiment is from Always & Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate. I literally use this set all the time. I have a bunch of them ready to be used.

That's all I have for today. May your week starts off wonderfully, Cheers...
