Fresh Picked Anemones

Hi friend. Am popping in to share this card I made using Spellbinders Fresh Picked Anemones set. I love the funky style of this set.

 
I made this card just for fun. It wasn't an assignment or anything. Hope you enjoy this kind of quick popping in. Till next time and I wish you a lovely Sunday.

Thinking of You Always

Today I am sharing this quick card that I made using Spellbinders Timeless Duo Etched Dies.

 
I thought it's pretty neat how the scroll design can be put together to create elegant, elaborate design or you can also use each by itself for simpler look. Here, I use both designs to frame the sentiment from Always You Timeless Sentiment. Finish with a  butterfly from previous release that I have laying around. In case you're looking for pretty butterflies sticker, Spellbinders has quite a few selection, but my favorite are Summer Day Butterflies and Sunset Butterflies.

That's all I have for today. Stay tune for more Spellbinders goodness. :)

Spellbinders' Floral For You

Hi there. Today I am sharing a couple projects featuring a set from Spellbinders Sealed 3 D Botanical collection, called Floral For You.

 

For the card above, I start with plain white cardstock and added some ink blending before die-cutting it. Once the die cut done, then I did the embossing. I found this to be better than doing the embossing first, which kind of flatten the embossing part a bit. By doing the die cut first, it allowed me to keep the raised image crisp. Then simply adhere the arch panel to card base and finish with sentiment from Always and Forever Sentiment Strips Press Plate. I have made a bunch of sentiment from this set and always have them handy.

Next, another card using same set and simply changing the color scheme. For this card the hot foiled sentiment is from my favorite sentiment set, More Sentiments.

I know I haven't been blogging as much. I do share more cards on Instagram. If you'd like to follow me on Instagram, you can find me under WIRIANTA. Thank you so much for stopping by here and may your week starts off in a wonderful way.

Have A Sweet Day

Hi peeps. Phew, May seems to fly by past me. My mom is visiting from Indonesia and mid May my aunt also came to spend some quality time with my mom. So, crafting is taking a back seat a bit this past month and this month. On weekend though, I still try to squeeze in some crafting time. And, today, am popping in to share this card that I completed this past weekend using Spellbinders' June Stitching Die Club card.

 
I love, love the way this card turned out. Making that waffle pattern on the ice cream cone is so fun. And the gradient stitching on the ice cream? I am patting myself on the back for it. Hah! I used white cardstock for all the die cutting and then ink blended the colors on it. Followed by the stitching. For the panel, I used the Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangle Etched Dies Venise Lace. It's definitely one of my favorite frame dies. Finished the card by adding the sentiment and some sequins.

I hope you enjoy today's card and that in my own little way it inspire you to squeeze in some crafty time. Wishing you all a lovely weekend!

Blow Bubbles

Hi friends. I honestly haven't been blogging or crafting too  much lately as things just been a bit busy. Today, I want to pop in real quick to share this card I made using Stampendous Pop! Cling Rubber Stamp Stampendous Pop! Cling Rubber Stamp.

 

Pretty straight forward card. I start by stamping the image on the cardstock panel and then colored it Copic markers. NExt, I ink blended the top and bottom edges of the panel before doing the frame die cut using Nestabilities Hemstitch Rectangle Etched Dies Venise Lace. Finished by adding the sentiment.

Hope your day be a good one friends. Till next time.

Thank You Pineapple

Hi friends. Happy May! Sorry that I haven't been blogging as much. I currently have my mom visiting all the way from Indonesia and am focusing on spending time with her as this kind of moment are rare and few in between. 

However, today, am popping in to share my Spellbinders' May Stitching Die Club card.

This pineapple is just gorgeous and yep, never thought I'd ever say that about a pineapple. Hah... but the stitching definitely add such a special touch to the pineapple. For the background of the card I used Leafy 3D Embossing folder, which is a classic and I feel like it can be used for many occasions. Once I am done with the embossing, I splatter some gold ink on it. Let dry and then adhere the stitched pineapple.

For the sentiment I used one of the sentiment All You Need Glimmer Sentiment set. And finish by adding some rhinestones. 

Hope you enjoy today's card and thank you for stopping  by here.

Sincere Sentiments

Hi peeps. Am popping in to do quick share os these cards that I made a while back, but haven't share it here on blog land.

Also, before I forget, if you're a fan of Spellbinders' dies, they're having a monstrous die sales at the moment. Check it out HERE to take advantage of the sales (and if you kindly click through my blog, I do get small commissions from the sales and of course, at no cost to you).

Back to the card, I went back to my clean and simple root and did these cards below using Stampendous' Sincere Sentiments set.

Sometimes I forgot how much I love clean and simple style and these cards totally reminded me why I love doing CAS card. All those white space just make me happy. :)

On the next card, I just made a little change and stamped teh image on colored cardstock instead and frame the image by adding the dotted frame.

 

Often less is more, right? Have a blessed day everyone!

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.

2 fun interactive cards. These cards makes me smile and I hope somehow in a small way they also makes you smile & brighten your day. Till next time... :)

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 1st card I hot foiled the flower using Copper hot foil roll. Then colored the image with various inks using the stencil that came with the bundle. Finish by adding sentiment from More Sentiments set hot foiled with Mini Rainbow Stripe hot foil roll.

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.

Here's  close up look to show the gold shimmering under the light.

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.
