Little Loves - Just for You

Hello friends, welcome and thanks so much for stopping by!  Today I am sharing a card using one of the Spellbinders  Little Loves Collection by Licensed Designer Sharyn Sowell.  - I believe this is the last of many Die cuts I have run through using this die! Sharyn's Dies are always inspiring - the original being hand cut using scissors - an amazing skill in itself.  Sharyn is a very accomplished artist and you can read a little about her HERE.

The card front has been created using strips of patterned paper that has been and cut/embossed using Spellbinders Nestabilities Scored and Pierced Rectangles Etched Dies and the Platinum Die Cutting Machine, then embossed using an older Spellbinders Embossing Folder. The card front has been layered onto a slightly larger white pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.E

                                      

Cut/emboss one Baby's Birthday Etched Die using pink card stock, glue slightly to the left of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.  Add Faux Enamel Dots using Imagine Pico Embellisher in mixed colors across the centre strip each side of the image - allow to dry!

The Little Birdie Crafts flower glued to the top of the Party Hat using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner.  The sentiment is from a sticker book from my stash and the Balloon has been cut/embossed using Spellbinders Die D-Lites Celebrate Etched Dies

Hello friends, welcome and thank you for stopping by!  Today I am sharing a card using one of the Spellbinders Little Loves Collection by Licensed Designer Sharyn Sowell.  Sharyn's Dies are always inspiring - the original being hand cut using scissors - an amazing skill in itself.  Sharyn is a very accomplished artist and you can read a little about her HERE.

I have a number of this image already Die Cut (I tend to do that) and decided it was time to use them, along with other bits and pieces lying on my desk.  The patterned paper has been cut into strips and layered onto recycled cardboard, cut to size using a Spellbinders Matting Die and lightly sanded.  This has been adhered to a pre-cut slightly larger white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Adhesive Sheets 4 x6. 

Emboss one Shapeabilities Baby's Garden Etched Dies Little Loves by Sharyn Sowell in patterned paper and one in white card stock and glue slightly to the left of the card front.  Adhere the patterned paper die cut to the white, leaving a little of the white die cut showing to give a shadow effect.  Glue the layered die cuts onto the middle of the card front.

Glue a strip aqua lace below the die cut images, next pop up a stamped sentiment onto the centre of the lace and glue a Little Birdie Crafts flower to the left of the sentiment.

Pop up the Kaisercraft sentiment sticker to the lower left side of the card base, across the pleated strip, using Scrapbook Adhesives BY 3L 3D Foam Squares.  Finish with a Want2Scrap Beautiful Bling Borders to the lower portion of the card front.

Who is 'De-Boss' Now?!

Hello friends - welcome and thanks so much for visiting.  Today I am excited to be sharing a card using one of the Spellbinders Glimmer Plates by Sharyn Sowell.  If you are like me and don't have a Foil Machine - you can still use the plates - not in the traditional way but definitely effectively - hopefully you are inspired by this card...

I have used the 'faux letterpress' technique and used the Vine Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Happy by Sharyn Sowell as an embossing plate, sponging using Imagine Versafine Ink in   Blue. ink using a Sponge Dauber for precision.  I placed the ink side up onto the main plate of the Platinum Die Cutting Machine, followed by a piece of white card stock.  Run through the Platinum using the tan mat and the embossing plate.

Adhere the Spellbinders Card Creator Graceful Scalloped Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. to the right side of the card front, run through the  Platinum Die Cutting Machine.  Use the due as a stencil and sponge inside the cutting edges using Imagine VersaMagic ink in Aegean Blue. Cut/emboss Kraft card stock using the single Scalloped Edge, adhere to the back of the card front allowing a portion to show on the right hand side and a strip of Kraft card stock on the right.

Cut /emboss the right hand side of an A-frame card base, using the single Scalloped Edge.  Adhere the layered card front onto the card base using double sided tape.  Allow for a white border on either side of the card front.

Cut two sets of the Shapeabilities Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken, sponging each layer using Imagine VersaMagic ink in Aegean Blue using a Sponge Dauber.  Adhere the flowers along the left side of the card base, adding Want2Scrap Medium White pearls to the center of each flower.
