All The Sentiments
Hi friends. Today, I hope to bring smile and joy to you through my cards. First up is this card featuring Dancin' Birthday Dragon from Spellbinders paired with the newly released Stampendous All The Sentiments stamp & die set.
I die cut all the dragon pieces from white cardstock (except for the eyes and claws) and ink blending various colors on the. Piece them all together. On this card, I actually stamped the small sentiment first after measuring that I have enough opening for the cursive happy word. Stamp and die cut the cursive word. Adhere the dragon head with foam adhesive and leave the rest of the body dangling, so the body can swing. Here's my confession.... Only after all these done that I realized I want to add some shading on the background and am too lazy to undo the sentiment, so I ended up adding the shading above it.
I fix that booboo on the card below. Here, I actually added the shading before I adhere the word happy. For variation, I decided to use Dancin' Birthday Monster Etched Dies set. I adore this li'l monster.

Glimmering Buttercups
Hi there. As fans of hot foiling, I am excited that I get to play with the new Spellbinders Glimmering Buttercup Glimmer Plate & Stencils Bundle. They really knock it out of the park with the new Glimmering Flower collection. I want them all!
For my next card I went with pink and orange tone for the flowers and hot foiled the image with Matte Gold, which is one of my all time favorite hot foil roll to use. It just has such an elegant feeling to it.
I hope you enjoy today's inspiration. As this post goes up, I will be in Japan with hubby chasing the cherry blossoms. If you'd like to see my travel adventure as well, you can follow me on Instagram under WIRIANTA. I don't have separate account for personal or card making, it's all in one. Check it out if you'd like. Thank you so much for stopping by here. Have a blessed day.

Queen Anne's Lace
I have to admit, at first I feel a bit apprehensive about this set because it seems like it's difficult, but thank goodness I was wrong. Since I've been into lilies a lot lately, I decided to paired it with the lilies from Oriental Lily and Wellies from Garden Club by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. I think the yellow lilies paired really well with the navy background.
This card definitely not for mailing. I do however love to tuck in this kind of 3D card inside a gift bag. I think it will brighten the day of whoever receiving it. Stay tune for simple but fun cards that's the opposite of this 3D beauty. Till next time.

Carnation Thanks
When you click on the Spellbinders Carnation Etched dies link, you'll also see the video of how to put together this flower. For my card, I decided to paired it with Floral Archway 3D Embossing folder. I love, love this embossing folder. I consider it as one of the prettiest 3D embossing folder from Spellbinders. For the greenery, I used Winter Evergreen Foliage dies and Towering Blooms dies. To finish the card, I stamped the sentiment from Sending Sentiments set and die cut it using the Coordinating Sending Sentiment die set and added some mix size rhinestones.

Kaleidoscope Garden
I am using the same sentiment set as on the first card to finish it. I do like the easy way of the 2nd card and I think it would be fun to create the gradient background with green or blue hues. Well peeps, that's all I have for today. Hope you're enjoying a good weekend.

Spellbinders Stitched Floral
I used my favorite soft blue cardstock from Spellbinders called Glacier to die cut the background and used teal and green thread for the leaves and circles. As someone who loves soft colored cardstock, I try to keep several sets of this Glacier cardstock in my stash. Once I am done with al the stitching, I adhere all the pieces to the card base. For the sentiment, I hot foiled one of the sentiment from More Sentiments Hot Foil set. The complete the card, I die cut one of the flower from Four Petal Thank You Flower set a couple times and tucked it behind the sentiment.
Am pretty happy with the way this card turned out. That flower is a un one to stitch as you really can stitch it in different pattern. Here's hoping I'll get to do more card with this set.
Friends, that's all I have for today. Till next time.

Spellbinders January Stitched Die Club Kit
Hi friends. I've been doing some stitching this weekend and want to pop in to share this card I made using Spellbinders' January Stitching Die Club kit,
How adorable is this kit? This bee is a fun one to stitch. And, if you're not into stitching, you really could just draw line with fine tip colored marker to create faux stitching. I happened to enjoy stitching, so I went for it. For the body I used double threads and for the wing to create a delicate look, I only use a single thread. Once I am done with all the stitching, I assemble the body and the wings and put aside. For the background, I die cut the flower stems several times. I estimate where I want to adhere the bee and only added the glue on the body part at this point. This way, I can arrange the flowers all around it. Only once I am happy with all the flower stems placement that I added glue to the bottom wings and foam adhesive to the top wings for extra dimension.
Hope you enjoy today's card. And, be sure to check out my Instagram account HERE as I posted more cards there than on the blog. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Cheers....

Hummingbird Love
Hi friends. Happy 2024! As we enter this new year, my goal is to spend more time using sets that I purchased but haven't really used. I am sure you all been in my position, where you see sets that you just have to have and then once you get them, they sat in your drawer for the longest time unused. Well, I am challenging myself to change that. At least every 2 weeks, I want to create using set that is brand new to me. They might be released a year ago or longer, but they still brand new in their package, so, new to me. :)
Not only I find this challenge refreshing, it also give me freedom to just use any sets and combine sets from various different company.
And with that in mind, I want to start this year with this gorgeous Spellbinders Hummingbird and Lily Dies from Bibi Cameron. I love hummingbird and lilies are among my favorite flowers, so when I saw this set, I just had to buy it. And, yep, it sat unopened for the longest time and other new release becomes priority, etc. Well, now I am happy that I actually get to use it!!
The way the color come out on the hummingbird makes me happy. So, friends, what do you think of this challenge? Care to play along just for fun? I hope you will and create just for the sake of create. For fun. Not an assignment, just creating because that's something you enjoy.
May this 2024 be filled with many creative moment and joy for you all. Cheers!!
