The Ton December Release

Hi friends. Welcome to The Ton December release. We have quite a few fun, goodies line up for this release. But, as bird lover, I just have to showcase this Cozy Chickadee set. I love Chickadees. I think they're such a pretty birds. 

For the background, I used one of the postage frame from Postage Nested die set. After cutting it, I kept the die on it to keep as masking and ink blend Hot Tourmaline on the bottom of the frame. Adhere frame to card base. 

For teh bird, once I die cut all the pieces from white cardstock, I ink blend Light Onyx for the feather. For the head I used Copic marker. Put together all the pieces. Then, I worked on the greeneries using the Cascade Bits set. For the branch I used Warm Hazelnut and for the leaves I used Spring Salad and

Evergreen. Die cut the pieces and arrange on the postage frame and then add the bird.

Finished with sentiment and some enamel drops. There's plenty more fun sets from this release. PLease check out The Ton blog for more details from this release. In case I don't get a chance to post before Christmas, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas. May you holiday season be a joyous one. Warm wishes to you all!

Spellbinders December Stitched Die Set

Hi friends. Happy December. Today. I am sharing my stitched card made using Spellbinders December Stitched Die of the Month. I have to say I love using stitched frame, because they tend to be easy stitch and add nice texture to the card. 

I 've been focusing on making Christmas cards lately, so this card is a nice break from it. Also loving the shape of the frame. What do you think?

Short post as I have tons of ideas swirling in my head right now and I want to make the most of my free time to actually make them into reality. Till next time, friends.

Christmas Felt Stitch & CReate Collection

 Hi friends. Today I want to share a few projects featuring Nicole Spohr Felt Stitch & Create collection for Spellbinders. 

First up is the Felt Candy Cane set, which I actually used with cardstock and stitched with silver metallic threads.

Just because these sets are designed for felt, doesn't mean you only have to use it with felt. It works just as beautifully with cardstock. I actually love the way it looks like cardstock.

Now, for my next 2 projects I did decide to use felt and use them to decorate my Christmas tree which, yes, it's already up. LOL, the only reason my tree is up was because we finally decided to get new tree when one that I want was on sale and need to make sure all the lights working  before the return window close. So, since we had to unpack it to test the light, might as well put it up and decorate it.

Here comes to Felt Snowman Star.

Hubby love this snowman ornament and asked me to keep it, so yep, am keeping it. Hah! I have to admit, stitching on felt a bit harder than on cardstock. But, nevertheless I love the way this one turned out. I do agree with hubby that this snowman is adorable.

And, last but not least, introducing Felt Gingerbread Boy & Girl.

Now, when working with felt, I can attest that using good, thick quality felt definitely made a huge difference. Here I used the felts from Spellbinders Merino Felt Wool Warm Collection for the body, bow and buttons. This felt is luxurious, thick and simply beautiful. Only after experiencing it first hand that I realized the difference. So, yes, it may cost a bit more, but it made stitching way easier and the result is so much prettier.

Well peeps, that's all I have for today. Hope you enjoy today's post and may your Thanksgiving week be a good one. Cheers...

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!

Bestie Heart In Hand

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.

That's all I have for today friends. May something good happened to you today. Cheers...
