Yarn Handmade - Just for You

Hello friends -thanks for stopping by today! I am loving the new Spellbinders Handmade Collection by Stephanie Low.  Perfect stamps and Dies for any creative person - definitely not limited to paper addicts! Wink:wink!!  As someone who has kitted since I was 6 years old - this set appeals to me greatly!

I have stamped a knitted block of five (5) rows of the knitted strip from theYarn Handmade by Stephanie Low Stamp and Die Set  using Imagine Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black and  three separate rows Teal Zeal.  The block pattern has been coloured in pink and the zeal in blue - using Chameleon Pens.  The blue knitted strips have been cut/embossed using the co-ordinating dies and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. 

The knitted block has been trimmed around the edges and the the blue strips popped up on alternating rows of knitting using Crafty Foam Tape - starting at the top of the block. The layered card front has been popped up onto a card front embossed using the Embossing Folders Tammy Tutterow Designs Horsehair and sponged using Teal Zeal ink and a sponge dauber.  All layers have been adhered to a pre-cut white card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.

Next I have stamped two lots of flowers using  Imagine Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black and coloured using Chameleon Pens and cut/embossed using the co-ordinating Dies.  Next they have been adhered to opposite corners. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L small white 3D Foam Squares have been added under the flowers, each side of the knitted strip.

The sentiment and kitting have been stamped Imagine Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black, coloured using Chameleon Pens and cut/embossed using the co-ordinating Dies.  Next they have been adhered to the centre of the card with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L small white 3D Foam Squares underneath on each side of the knitted strip.

Grateful for You

Hello friends - thank you for stopping by! Yesterday I shared a tutorial using one of the Spellbinders Stamp and Die sets (you an find it HERE) and had a stamped image left over put that together with the fact that I have been busy 'pottering' with leftover papers - the ones that are too pretty to throw out but can't sit around and clutter my desk for too much longer - do you have the same thing happen - or is it just me?! Wink:wink!! It all has to add up to a card....

The card front has been created by adhering some of my favourite left over pieces of patterned paper, from DCWV and Graphic 45, to some recycled cardboard.  This has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Labels Thirty-Eight Etched Dies #6 (#1 being the smallest) The card base has been cut using white card stock using  Labels Thirty-Eight #7 and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine – 6″ Platform.

The feather from the One of a Kind Handmade by Stephanie Low Stamp and Die Set has been stamped using black ink and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  It has then been cut/embossed using the co-ordinating die and popped up onto the centre of the card front using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares

.  A computer generated sentiment has been adhered below the feather using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner Ultra.  Sequins have been randomly added

Spellbinders -Geo Dots - Enjoy Your Day

Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping by! It is Sunday here in the Nations Capital and we are experiencing a HEATWAVE, along with many other regions in Australia.  I did manage a bit of time in The Studio and have a very quick and easy card to create - using Spellbinders Geo Dots Stamps Cool Vibes by Stephanie Low - it is perfect as a background or as the focal point on a card.

I have randomly inked the stamp using Tool 'n One with the Foam Applicator - Circle for Tool 'n One

and Imagine Memento Ink in Teal Zeal and Angel Pink, along with Memento Luxe Rose Bud ink.  Once dry this has been cut/embossed using the A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies #6  (#1 being the smallest) and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" Platform.  The card front has been popped up onto the card base that  has been cut/embossed using the larger die (#7) using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Crafty Foam Tape.

Want2Scrap Black Baby Bling has been randomly added to the card front and a computer generated sentiment, trimmed to size and adhered using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Permanent Adhesive.

Spellbinders Pretty Handmade - Make Pretty Things

Hello friends -thanks for stopping by today! I don't know about you but I always look forward to seeing what is new with companies and this year is no different.  I am loving the new Spellbinders products and have been playing with some of the Handmade Collection by Stephanie Low.  Perfect stamps and Dies for any creative person - definitely not limited to paper addicts! Wink:wink!!

I have stamped the Pretty Handmade by Stephanie Low Stamp and Die Set using Imagine Memento Inks in Tuxedo Black and Teal Zeal.  They have been coloured using Chameleon Pens and cut/embossed using the co-ordinating dies and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. 

Next I have cut/embossed the Shapeabilities Seth Apter Drip Dry Etched Dies twice, once in orange and one in yellow. The yellow die has been adhered slightly offset onto the orange die - to create a shadow effect.  This has been glued to a card front that has been cut/embossed using the A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies and been lightly sanded using a sanding block.

The sentiment has also been Die cut and popped up into the card front.  The card front is popped up onto card base that has also been cut using the A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies.  I have used Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares to add dimension to each layer.
