Blue Butterflies

Hello friends, thanks for stopping by!  I am sharing a little 'blast from the past' today using one of the older/discontinued dies from Spellbinders - but seriously what is not to love!?!?   Although this particular Die is no longer available there are some beautiful card front and card creator Dies available - click on the highlighted words to go directly to them.

I have cut/embossed the released Butterflies Spellbinders Shapeabilities® die (discontinued) using the  Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform using white card stock.

The Die has been trimmed to size and adhered to periwinkle card stock using liquid glue and popped up onto a pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.   White lace has been adhered to the lower portion. The addition of  a Seam Binding Bow and a Mulberry Paper Rose complement this card perfectly!!  It doesn't get much easier than that!

New Flourish Frame by Becca Feeken

Hello Blog Friends, if you know me at all, then you know I adore Becca Feeken as a Designer and artist - to say I am excited that she is now a Licensed Designer for Spellbinders would be an understatement - you seriously need to check out her new release Amazing Paper Grace - I just had to use one of them for today's card.

The Flourish Frame Set is divine -  I have used the actual Flourish Frame as my card base - cutting two using white cardstock and the Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.  The top of one Diecut has been scored at 2cm and folded forward and attached to scored Die cut to form the card base,  Ensure the pattern lines up.

The next filigree layer has been cut using teal cardstock and the Floral Assortment Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Decorative Elements.  The sides have been trimmed and the Die is layered onto the card base, followed by corrugated card trimmed slightly smaller using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner. 

The circle frame has been cut from the Blooming Collection Spellbinders® Shapeabilities® Decorative Frames and adhered using liquid glue. The image is from Graphic 45.  A double seam binding bow has been adhered using liquid glue and the tag from the Flourish Frame has been sponged using the Die as a Stencil and stamped with a sentiment from the Penny Black Inc Tiny Wishes stamp set.

It's a Boy Thing

Hello Blog Friends - I hope you are making it through the week without too much going on.  Life nowadays is so busy we often don't have the time to make the most of moments.

I have had some Studio time and played with these robot images that have been stamped waiting for some colour for some time - I have used Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Memento Markers and love the result.

The robots have been fussy cut/hand cut and popped up on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L3D Foam Squares for dimension onto the A2 Distressed Edges Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Card Creator.  This has then been 'splashed' using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Fireworks Sprays in Dandelion, Danube Blue, Bamboo Leaves and Summer Sky.

The sentiment is from Clear Stamps and has been stamped using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko VersaMagic.

The second card has the same image but coloured slightly differently and popped up on a Diecut from the A2 Modern Stationary Card Creator.  This has then been 'splashed' using Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko Fireworks Sprays in Dandelion, Tangelo and Summer Sky.  The sentiment is from Flourishes.

Windmill - Make a Wish

Hello Blog friends, I hope you have all had a relaxing weekend - it is Monday evening here and the cooler temperatures are setting in now in the mornings and evenings, but the days are still lovely - we are more than aware that winter will be here before we know it,

This adorable windmill Cardstock Sticker from Authentique Paper - Wishes Collection  reminds me of summer and just begged me to bring it to life on a card - I am a fan of pink and yellow together and I am sure you can see why...

I have layered the windmill sticker onto the Elegant Ovals Spellbinders® Nestabilities® that has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.  This has in turn been layered onto the Decorative Label Eight Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Decorative Elements

 

 I have used  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares for dimension ,and E-Z Runner on this card, the bling is from Want2Scrap©

Monchromatic Thanks

 Hello friends, I hope you are all well and surviving whatever weather you are experiencing - there have certainly been some extremes these past few days.  Although it is summer here, we have had a fair bit of rain - it is lovely and unusual seeing the grass so green in January - especially when drought is not rare for us.

Today I am sharing a monochromatic card with you - I love these earthy tones.  Some Dies just seem to find their way to my desk, time and time again - and the Gold Majesty Circles Spellbinders® Imperial Gold die is one of those. It has been cut/embossed using white cardstock and adhere to a card base with patterned paper already attached.

The Lacey Circles Spellbinders® Nestabilities® Decorative Elements dies has been cut/embossed using Authentique Paper  - Glistening Collection and popped up on  Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L - 3D Foam Squares for dimension.  The last layer has been cut/embossed using the Rounded Squares Nestabilities.  All Dies have been cut using the  Spellbinders™ Grand Calibur® Die Cutting and Embossing Machine

Vintage lace (removed from a doily- shhh) has been added, along with  Want2Scrap© 72 Count - LeCreme Pearls - Self Adhesive and some flowers from my stash.
