Hi peeps. How's it going? Even though it's only August, it sure is not too early to start working on some Christmas cards in my book. And, the new releases from Spellbinders make it so easy to create fun & adorable Christmas cards.

Today, am showcasing the adroable Dancin' Snowman and paired it with what have become my favorite hot foil background, Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Hot Foil Plate.

I started by ink blending some blues for the panel. Once that done, I hot foiling the background with  Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Prism hot foil roll. Love, love, love this background. I mean, the glimmering silver against those blue are just gorgeous. adhere the panel to card base. Next, I die cut and put together the snowman. adhere to card. Finish by stamping and heat embossing sentiment from Dancin' Holiday Sentiment Clear Stamp set. Oh yes, for the sman hat I also added liquid applique for extra texture.

This jolly snowman just looks so cute, isn't it? I hope you enjoy today's card. That's all from me today as I am still dealing with Covid and not feeling the best. So keeping this post short & sweet. May your week starts off wonderfully. Cheers...

Sellbinders' Glimmer Hot Foil of The Month

Hi peeps. I am excited to share Spellbinders' August Glimmer Hot Foil of The Month set. This month's glimmer set is beautiful.

I definitely have a weakness toward floral hot foil and when I saw this month's set, I might have squealed a bit. Hah! 

To start, I hot foil the flower with Rose Gold hot foil. Once done, die cut it with the coordinating die and colored with Copic. As usual I went with soft colors. Put aside and work on the background panel, which I  embossed with Party Spots Embossing Folder. This embossing folder probably is one of my favorite as it's so versatile. Adhere it to card base. Next, I hot foiled the sentiment that came in the set on a wide strip of cardstock. For the sentiment I used Matte Gold hot foil roll. By the way, this is the one hot foil that I feel is a must to have. At least for me. Yep, a bit obsessed with this roll. Adhere to card and finish by adhering the foiled flower with foam adhesive and add some mix size sequins.

Pretty easy peasy and I feel like the hot foil really help add some oomph to a clean & simple card. What do you think? Well, that's all from me today and I wish you all a happy day.

Spellbinders' August Small Die Cut of The Month

Hi all. Today I am showcasing Spellbinders' August Small Die of The Month set. This month's small dies set is a fun one and can be used for so many different occassion.

 
I know I want to have texture for the background of this card, so I decided to start with the background first, using Tile Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere the panel to the card base. Put aside. Then I die cut a bunch of the flowers and leaves from various colored cardstock. Before adhering the flowers, I thought I better make sure where I want to place the sentiment and do the flower arrangement around it. I grab my favorite, More Sentiments Hot Foil set. Once I am done with the sentiment, I just play around with the flowers placement. Finished by adding some sequins and enamel dots to the center of the flowers.

That's all from me today. May your day be a wonderful one.

Spellbinders' August Large Die Cut Of the Month

 Hi all. Wow, it's already August. I feel like I have to pinch myself, since in my head it feels like we had just celebrated New Year not that long ago. Anyway, as we enter the August month, I am here today to share Spellbinders's August Large Die Cut of The Month set.

August's large die set is simply sweet & fun. I mean, who doesn't  love strawberry? This card is full of texture. I simply die cut all the pieces several times to create this basket full of strawberry. I ink blend a bit of gray to the strawberry to create shadow & depth. Arrange all the pieces on the card base. Then, for the sentiment I hot foil the birthday sentiment from More Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. Finished by adding some rhinestones.

I really love the way this card turned out and till I find the recipient for this card, it's on display on my craft room shelf just because it  makes me happy. That's all from me today. May your August starts off in a wonderful way.

Spellbinders' Stitched Ornament

 Hi all. I have more stitching card to share. This time, I am showcasing Spellbinders' Stitched Ornament Etched Dies.

I love the pretty details on this die. And, with the stitching you can go as detailed or as simple as you want. You could even not do the stitching and just let the dot patterns shine by itself. On my card I just did some simple stitching. Once I am done with the stitching, I adhere the scallop detail that I cut from silver paper and added some rhinestone to the ornament. Adhere it to card base. To make it even more Christmasy (is that a real word?? Hah!) I decided to add a Poinsettia from Holiday Blooms Etched Dies set. Finished by adding hot foiled sentiment from a previously released Mini Christmas Sentiment set.

This card is pretty simple in design, yet it offers lots of texture. I hope you enjoy it. I am hoping to put in some crafting time this weekend and hopefully I'll get to share more cards here. Finger cross. Crafting time been hit and miss this past few months, so wish me luck. Have a blessed day all.

Spellbinder's Balsam & Berries

Hi there. Today, I am sharing a couple cards. First up is this card featuring the newly released Spellbinders' Balsam & Berries Clear Stamp Set.

This set is great for making quick card in my opinion. I simply stamped and colored the image. Once done, trimmed the panel and layered it with gold cardstock to create trim all around Then adhere to card base. Super easy. Now, my next card is s bit more elaborate. Introducing Spellbinders' Jasmine Etched Dies and Winter Evergreen Foliage & Lady Bugs Etched Dies.

 I die cut all the flower & greenery parts from white cardstock and then colored them with Copic and inks. Then I die cut an arches using one of the arch from Essential Arches Etched Dies. Sinceit seems pretty plain, I decided to ink up the edge of the arch a bit and arranged all the flower pieces on the arch piece. For added texture, I used Tile Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder on the background panel. Adhere everything to the card base. Finish by adding some enamel dots.

Isn't the jasmine just  lovely? I love the smell of jasmine as it reminded me of my grandma. She used to put fresh jasmine in her closet and I always remembered that. I hope you enjoy today's cards and may your week starts off in a wonderful way.

Spellbinders' Stitched Joy

Hi all. Hope you're enjoying a good weekend. Quick post to share this card I made using Spellbinders' Stitched Joy Etched Dies. Christmas is one of my favorite season and I don't mind going all out for Christmas card, which means lots of stitching. Hah!

 

For the background, I used Tile Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. Die cut the Joy piece and did the stitching. Once that done, I die cut the alphabets from silver cardstock. Adhere the whole piece to the card base.

There's really not much step on making this card, it just the stitching that takes time. I like doing the stitching while binge watching with hubby. Get 2 things done at once. Well peeps, that's all from me today. May your weekend be a good one. Cheers.

Spellbinders' Holiday Blooms

As promised, I am back today with more project to celebrate this month's release from Spellbinders. For today, I want to share a card showcasing Holiday Blooms Etched Dies from Celebrate the Season collection, which I paired with Mix & Matched Holiday Greetings Etched Dies and Crossed Line Cardfront Gimmer Hot Foil Plate.

 

This is such a fun card to make. To start, I hot foiled the card panel with Crossed Line Cardfront Gimmer Hot Foil Plate with Moondust hot foil. Then I trimmed the panel and adhere it to the card base. Next, I die cut all the flower pieces from various color cardstock and arrange them on the card. Finish by adding sentiment cut out from metallic cardstock.

Between the die cut blooms and the hot foiling, this card is full of texture. Well peeps, I hope you enjoy today's card. May your Friday be a good one and I'll be back tomorrow with more new release project.

Spellbinders' Glimmer Greetings Collection

Hi all. Woohoo, it's new release time from Spellbinders. Am so in love with this month's release as it's all about Christmas. I always love working on Christmas projects, especially when I have good sets to work with. I have several cards lined up for this release and I'll be sharing them all in the next few days.

For today, I want to share a couple cards using the new glimmer sets. First up is this card I made using 

Blooming Ornament Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die set.  I love this gorgeous set.

To start, I hot foil the ornament and the bow using Matte Gold hot foil roll. Then, I die cut the pieces and colored the flowers. Before adhering the ornament, I decided to add some greenies from Holiday Blooms Etched Dies set. Arranged the greenies behind the ornament. For the sentiment I used a sentiment from previously released Mini Christmas Sentiment strip hot foil plate. Adhere the sentiment with foam adhesive and finish by adding some enamel drops.

For my next card, again I used Blooming Ornament Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die set and this time, I save the positive part for another project and use the negative part with Glimmer Essential Solid Diamond Hot Foil Plate.

Look how pretty that floral diamond came out. I trimmed the foiled diamond and layered it with white cardstock. Next, I die cut some floral pieces from Holiday Blooms Etched Dies set. After going back and forth with what to do for the background, I decided to use Party Spots Embossing Folder. Once I adhere the spotty panel, I simply arranged all the other pieces on top of it. Finish by adding sentiment from More Sentiments Hot Foil set.

I love this Moondust hot foil. Below you could see how the color look different under different lighting.

 Well, that's all from me today. More coming from this new release. Stay tune and have a blessed day all.

The Ton's July Release

 
Hi all and welcome to The Ton's August release. I am excited to share this release, so let's get on with it, shall we?

For my first card, I am showcasing this fun & gorgeous Pretty Pansy Fields stencil set. 

This set is simply beautiful and I plan on playing more with this set. That's what I love about The Ton sets, so many of them are simply timeless and I can honestly say I still have most of my sets because I know I could and will use them again and again. For this card I inked up the stencil with Soft Amethyst, Iris Blooms, Violet Fringe, Lemon Drop and Matcha ink. Simply trim the panel once I am done, adhere to card base and finish with the sentiment.

On to my 2nd card. For this one, I used Pretty Peony Close Up stencil and paired it with previously released Love & Hugs Word Plates dies.

Gotta love stencils. It makes card making quick and easy. And, last but not least am showcasing Fierce Ferns set.

I simply ink blend Hot Tourmaline, Caribbean Turquoise and Soft Garden on a panel of cardstock and then stamped the panel. I decided to add some doodling to some of the leaves to create interest. I think this is a fun way to get more out of your stamp.

Well peeps, t hat's all from me for today. I'll be sharing  more from this release in the coming days and on The Ton's blog. Hope you all having a wonderful weekend.
