Hello again friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Beautiful Wreaths Collection by Suzanne Hue from Spellbinders.  (Check out the rest of the October release here…some really beautiful stuff this month!)  This collection contains five die sets all geared towards building wreaths for any occasion, but elements from several of the sets can be used without a wreath base as well.  Here I created three pretty cards with wreaths of different shapes and for three different seasons. SUNFLOWER WREATH THANK YOU CARD In the midst of all this fabulous autumn-ness right now, I couldn't help but create a rustic wreath with sunflowers first using the Build-A-Wreath Die Set.  I started by cutting the branch layers from the set from Portobello and Dune Cardstock and inking them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink before assembling them into a ring shape on top of some pretty plaid paper (matted with Mirror Gold Cardstock and adhered to a top-folding A2-sized white card base). Next I cut the sunflowers from the Build-A-Wreath Die Set out of three different yellow cardstocks for a little variation - Sunkissed, Beeswax, and Chamomile.  After adhering them on top of the wreath, I added lots of leaves cut from Rainforest and Fern Cardstock for extra color.  The bow, cut from Terra Cotta Cardstock using the Garden Wreath Add-Ons Die Set, completes the rustic wreath.  To finish off the card, I added a sentiment foiled in gold using the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and some Gold Mix Gems. BIRTHDAY HEART WREATH CARD Next I wanted to play with some different shapes of wreaths...with so many different types of flowers and sprigs in the collection, you really can find a way to border almost any shape with a wreath!  I started by trimming a piece of woodgrain patterned paper to 5 square, inked the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink, and cut the center of the panel out with one of the Essential Heart Dies.  Then I popped this background up on top of a 5.25 square white card base with foam adhesive and got to work on my floral elements. Nearly all of the flowers and leafy sprigs were cut using the Garden Wreath Add-Ons Die Set (one leafy sprig is from the Build-A-Wreath Die Set) and I chose bright pinks, oranges, and yellows for a cheerful look.  I adhered the stems around about three-quarters of the heart window, leaving a little bit of empty space and forgoing a bow so that the design didn't become overwhelming.  To finish off the card, I added a sentiment cut from Timber Cardstock using the Birthday Wreath Add-Ons Die Set and a couple of Crystal Mix Gems. CHRISTMAS TREE CLOCHE CARD Lastly, you really can't talk about a wreath collection without creating a Christmas card!  There are plenty of examples of cards with traditional Christmas wreaths though, so I decided to build a little scene under a cloche with the Christmas Wreath Add-Ons Die Set instead.  I started by adhering a piece of pretty plaid patterned paper to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I cut Glacier Cardstock using one of the Essential Arches Dies and inked around the edges with Salty Ocean Distress Ink before adhering a few snowflakes from the Christmas Wreath Add-Ons Die Set on top. The bow, tree, and poinsettia were also cut using the Christmas Wreath Add-Ons Die Set, but the pine sprigs are actually included in the Build-A-Wreath Die Set.  I inked all of them with coordinating Distress Inks for some dimension and assembled them within my archway to create a pretty Christmas cloche.  To finish off the card, I added a sentiment foiled in red using the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set and a single Gold Mix Gem as my flower center. I hope you enjoyed these pretty wreath card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Beautiful Wreaths Collection by Suzanne Hue now and create your own floral arrangements for any season!  And don’t forget that from now until Sunday, October 22nd, you can save $25 off an order of $150 or more in the Spellbinders shop!

Have you seen the latest release from Papertrey Ink?  I am thrilled to be a guest designer for them this month as they release tons of new and beautiful autumn and Christmas-themed products.  Today I wanted to focus on some of the Halloween stamps and dies and share these two cute cards perfect for sending a spooky hello! I can never resist a black cat stamp, so the Boo Black Cat Stamp Set was the first thing I picked out to play with from the release.  I stamped the cat onto some white cardstock with black ink before cutting it out with the coordinating die and then stamped the moon and spider onto a separate white panel with Versamark Ink before embossing it in silver.  After it cooled down, I blended Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves, and Black Soot Distress Ink over the entire panel to create a spooky night sky. For a little extra cuteness, I stuck my frazzled cat inside of the large pumpkin from the Fall Bouquet Stamp Set which was stamped in black ink, colored with Copic markers, and cut out using the coordinating dies.  After adding a sentiment from the Spooktacular Halloween Kit onto a strip of black cardstock, I quickly assembled my card with both tape runner and foam adhesive and added a few silver glitter stars cut with the Boo Black Cat Die Set. This next easy card uses tons of elements from the Spooktacular Halloween Kit.  I loved these little mason jars and decided to create a pumpkin jar like those trendy spray-painted candy corn ones on Pinterest using Carved Pumpkin and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide Inks.  The stem, leaves, and faces are all included in the kit too! For the smaller jar, I added a web and spider in the jar and topped it off with a cute witches hat that I stamped with a sentiment.  I added both jars to a simple kraft card base cut with the new Cover Plate Pumpkins Die for a little texture. I hope you enjoyed these cute Halloween cards and thanks so much for stopping by.  You can shop the entire August release from Papertrey Ink now and create your own fall and Christmas projects just in time for the holidays!

The iconic Air Jordan 1 silhouette was a skate staple in the 80s due to its full-leather construction and tough midsole/outsole combination. Working together again with Nike SB, the Air Jordan 1 returns in this 'Lakers vs. Bulls' edition that launched in May 2019. This colorway pays homage to the legendary matchup through a Court Purple and University Gold scheme on the leather upper that wears away to reveal red and black alternate hues.

Welcome to a new month friends!  The September 2023 Club Kits from Spellbinders have been revealed and we are celebrating everything autumn this month!  Today I’m sharing nine card projects featuring the Large Die of the Month, Small Die of the Month, Glimmer Kit of the Month, Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, Embossing Folder of the Month, 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, Stitching Die of the Month, Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Kits, and the new BetterPress of the Month Kit and Wax Seal of the Month Kit. Note: The new Subscription Sign-Up Window opens on the 6th of each month and closes on the 27th.  After existing club members subscriptions have been processed, if there is additional inventory remaining, then they will be made available for new subscriptions and will have limited availability. Continuing Subscriptions will charge on the 5th of each month. This means existing Club Members will still be able to cancel subscriptions or make edits to payment or shipping info up until the 4th of each month. LARGE DIE OF THE MONTH This month’s Large Die of the Month Kit, “Boo-Licious Fall Cupcake“, is a massive set of 30 dies that can be used to create a fun cupcake with layers and layers of icing as well as several different Halloween and autumn icons to top it.  Purchase the add-on Seasonal Cupcake Toppers to create cupcakes for occasions all year long!  I used many of the dies in the set to make this cute Halloween cupcake scene, but can't wait to go back and create an autumn cupcake too! After cutting the layered cupcake out of purples and greens, I added most of the Halloween icons included in the set on top and around it.  The tiny sentiment sign is also included!  To create the background I embossed a piece of Onyx Cardstock with the Tile Reflection 3D Embossing Folder and added it to my card base.  Then I pressed the Spider Web Background BetterPress Plate onto cotton cardstock using BetterPress Black Ink, cut it out using one of the Notched Corner Frame Dies, and blended Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, Seedless Preserves, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink down the panel. SMALL DIE OF THE MONTH This month’s Small Die of the Month Kit, “Hiking Through The Meadows“, is such a gorgeous and unique set perfect for elegant autumn cards.  The kit contains 15 cutting dies that allow you to cut beautifully-detailed hiking boots and tons of autumn florals to add inside of them.  I used a muted color palette with soft peaches, pinks, and just a touch of gold to create a more feminine version for this pretty autumn card. I started by trimming a piece of Partly Cloudy Cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5, embossed it with this month's Embossing Folder of the Month, and adhered it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I cut Velvet Rose, Dune, Sage, Latte, Peach Sorbet, Alabaster, and Chamomile Cardstocks with the boot and flower layer dies in the kit.  Once assembled, I arranged them on top of my card front and adhered them down with a mix of liquid glue and foam adhesive for tons of dimension.  To finish off the card, I added a sentiment from this month's Clear Stamp of the Month Kit. GLIMMER KIT OF THE MONTH This month’s Glimmer Kit of the Month, “Sunflower Border” contains 2 Glimmer plates that can be used to foil a beautiful floral border and a pretty sentiment as well as dies to cut them both out.  I applied Blush Hot Foil to white cardstock and colored the images with Copic Markers for this easy and pretty thank you card. Once colored, I trimmed the panel down to 4 x 5.25 and blended Tumbled Glass and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks around the top and bottom edges to create some atmosphere.  Then I added the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive and popped the foiled and die-cut sentiment up on top with more foam adhesive. STITCHING DIE OF THE MONTH This month’s Stitching Die of the Month is another beautiful one with simple stitching perfect for beginners!  This month’s kit, “Enchanted Stitched Mushrooms“, is a set of 16 dies that create two different stitched and layered mushrooms as well as some pretty leafy branches.  I cut the mushrooms out of Crimson and Alabaster Cardstock and stitched them up with metallic gold thread for this simple and pretty hello card. To create the background, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and lightly blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink in the center of the panel before embossing it with this month's 3D Embossing Folder of the Month.  After arranging my scene on top, I adhered everything down on the card front with liquid glue and foam adhesive, then added one of the sentiments from the set to the top corner and a couple of Gold Mix Gems to embellish. CLEAR STAMP & DIE OF THE MONTH KIT This month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Kit, “Fall Thoughtfulness” is a set of 6 stamps that contains two gorgeous autumn floral arrangements and 4 pretty sentiments to go with them.  If your subscription includes the coordinating dies, you’ll also get 6 dies to cut the images and sentiments out.  I stamped the images onto white cardstock with black alcohol-friendly ink and colored them with Copic markers for this simple and pretty Thanksgiving card. To accent the stamped arrangement, I used the leaf and pumpkin dies from this month's Large Die of the Month to cut a few background elements.  Then I added the colored image, sentiment, and die-cuts on top of an oval cut from white cardstock using the Fluted Classics Ovals Dies.  The background was created by blending Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, Candied Apple, and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink over a piece of white cardstock before embossing it with this month's Embossing Folder of the Month. EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH I've certainly talked about it enough by now, so let me finally introduce you to this month’s Embossing Folder of the Month, “Cascading Leaves & Stripes“.  It embosses a pretty leaf pattern that's perfect for fall, but really the leaves could be used for cards all year long!  I embossed a piece of Dune Cardstock with the Cascading Leaves & Stripes embossing folder and blended a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink around the edges for this simple and cute Thanksgiving card. After coloring the other image from this month's Clear Stamp of the Month with Copic markers, I cut it and a sentiment out using the coordinating dies.  Then I simply popped both up on top of the card front with foam adhesive and added a few Gold Mix Gems to embellish. 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER OF THE MONTH This month’s 3D Embossing Folder of the Month, “Mushroom Harvest”, is so unique and beautiful, you’ll be using it on all of your cards this fall (I used it on three this month)!  I inked a panel of white cardstock with Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon, Festive Berries, and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink before embossing it with the Mushroom Harvest Embossing Folder, then rubbed gold gilding wax over the raised areas to bring out the design a bit more. I added the background to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive, then cut two of the leafy sprigs from this month's Stitching Die of the Month Kit out of Mirror Gold Cardstock and adhered them to the front with liquid glue.  To finish off this simple card, I stamped a sentiment from this month's Clear Stamp of the Month in brown ink, cut it out with the coordinating die, and added it to the center of the card with foam adhesive. BETTERPRESS OF THE MONTH Have you joined the BetterPress of the Month Club yet?  This month’s kit, “Corner Sunflowers“, contains 2 press plates that create a beautiful floral image as well as a pretty script sentiment with a coordinating die.  I pressed both of the plates onto Bisque Cotton Cardstock using Bark BetterPress Ink for a muted fall thank you card. I colored the image in quickly using Peerless Watercolors before matting it with brown cardstock and adding it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I cut that beautiful fine-print sentiment out with the coordinating die and popped it up in the top corner with foam adhesive. WAX SEAL OF THE MONTH Lastly, I used several of the clubs to show off this month's Wax Seal of the Month Kit.  The “Fall Meadow” Wax Seal Kit contains one beautiful circular fall wax seal stamp as well as a bag of Copper Wax Beads.  I stamped my seal using the gorgeous beads provided and added gold metallic marker to bring out the design a bit more.  I added a secondary sentiment foiled in Gold Hot Foil using the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set. The background was created by embossing Dune Cardstock with the Mushroom Harvest Embossing Folder and I wrapped some gold cord around it before adhering it to a top-folding white card base.  Then I cut the leafy branch from this month's Stitching Die of the Month and the sunflower and pod from this month's Small Die of the Month and tucked them behind the cording before adding the wax seal on top. I hope you enjoyed these pretty autumn card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can subscribe to any of the Spellbinders Clubs starting on the 6th of the month (including the newer BetterPress and Wax Seal Clubs!) and never miss a great kit like these again!

Happy Monday friends!  I’m thrilled to be back today to share a couple of projects using the new Fall Traditions Collection from Spellbinders.  The beautiful fall blooms and leaves, cute turkey, and pretty sentiments in this collection inspired me to create three cozy cards perfect for sending your Thanksgiving or autumn thank yous. AUTUMN LEAVES THANKFUL CARD My favorite part of this collection is the variety of autumn leaves, flowers, and acorns it offers.  I combined large and small blooms together in warm colors on this simple and bright thank you card. Trim a piece of Alabaster Cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”. Die cut Saffron, Terracotta, Portobello, Fern, and Rainforest Cardstock using all of the different leaf dies in the Autumn Leaves Die Set. Arrange the die-cuts all over the Alabaster panel to form a pattern and adhere them down using liquid glue. Trim off any overhanging ends with a paper trimmer or a pair of scissors. Die cut Alabaster Cardstock using the thankful greeting from the Grateful Sentiment Steps Die Set. Center the sentiment within the Oval Shape Large and Pattern dies from the Essential Ovals Die Set and die cut again to form the sentiment panel. Adhere Timber Cardstock behind the sentiment with liquid glue. Die cut Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Oval Shape Large Die from the Essential Ovals Die Set and adhere to the back of the sentiment panel with liquid glue. Die cut flowers, leaves, and acorns from the same colors of cardstock using the Mini Fall Blooms Die Set. Adhere the background panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner. Pop the layered sentiment panel up on top using foam adhesive. Add the flowers and leaves around the sentiment with a mix of liquid glue and foam adhesive. Embellish the flower centers with Gold Mix Gems. THANKSGIVING TURKEY CARD The turkey from the Happy Turkey Day Die Set is so adorable that I didn’t want to embellish this next card too much and draw any of the attention away!  Here I added him to a fun golden embossed background and added a pretty sentiment for a cute Thanksgiving card. Die cut Portobello, Timber, Persimmon, Poppy Field, Saffron, black, white, and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Happy Turkey Day Die Set. Assemble the turkey with liquid glue, except for the tail. I wanted to create a tri-colored tail that alternated colors evenly, so cut each feather apart and assembled them in that pattern first before adding it to the back of the turkey with foam adhesive. Trim a piece of Portobello Cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5” and emboss it with the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder. Apply gold gilding wax over the embossed panel with a finger or blending tool to bring out the raised areas and add shine. Stamp a sentiment from the Charming Pumpkins Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Versamark Ink, add gold embossing powder, and melt with a heat tool. Cut it out using the banner die from the More Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set. Add the embossed background to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner. Pop the turkey and sentiment banner up on top of the card front with foam adhesive. AUTUMN FRONT DOOR CARD The Open House Collection is so much fun for creating any kind of front porch scene you dream up.  For this wide welcoming country doorway, I chose early autumn colors and love how this soft and pretty square card turned out. Trim a piece of white cardstock to 5.5” square and emboss is using the Striped Slimline Embossing Folder. (You will have to emboss the panel twice, but any overlap will be masked by the door.) Die cut Raindrop, Glacier, bronze, and white cardstock using the Open House Door Base and Open House Door Side Panel Die Sets. Assemble the door and frame with liquid glue, adding the Glacier die-cuts behind the window panels. Die cut a wreath and flowers out of mint and peach cardstocks using the Always Welcome Door Base Die Set and add to the front of the door with liquid glue. Die cut peach, mint, pink, and bronze cardstock using the Open House Pumpkin Topiary Die Set and assemble with liquid glue. Die cut various cardstocks with the banner and mat dies from the Open House Thankful Die Set and assemble with liquid glue. Adhere the embossed panel to the front of a top-folding 5.5” square white card base with tape runner. Add a small strip of Silver Fox Cardstock to the bottom of the card front for the porch floor. Add the door, mat, and frame to the card front with liquid glue. Pop the topiaries and banner up on top using foam adhesive. Embellish flower centers with Gold Mix Gems. I hope you enjoyed this trio of warm thank you cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Fall Traditions Collection from Spellbinders now and be ready to craft as the leaves start to turn.  And don't miss out on the Autumn Warehouse Sale with prices as low as $1 until Sunday, September 19th!

Happy Thursday friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a bunch of projects made with the new Serenade Of Autumn Collection  from Spellbinders.  (Check out the rest of the October release here…so much gorgeous stuff this month!)  This collection is HUGE and contains dies, BetterPress plates, stencils, and a whole slew of paper collection products all geared towards beautiful autumn cardmaking.  Here I created four pretty cards with just some of the products in the collection perfect for sending a bright autumn hello. STENCILED SUNFLOWER CARD I love anything sunflower, so I was overjoyed to see the beautiful Layered Sunflower Stencil in this collection.  I started by blending Distress Inks through each layer of the design onto white cardstock with a blending tool until the sunflower bunch was complete.  Then I trimmed the panel down to 3.75 square and matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock. To assemble the card, I trimmed a piece of pretty patterned paper from the Serenade Of Autumn Paper Pad to 4.75 square, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock, added a strip of Dark Green Satin Ribbon around the center, and mounted it all on top of a 5 square white card base.  After popping the stenciled panel up on top of the card front with foam adhesive, I added a sentiment foiled in gold using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and a smattering of Gold Mix Gems. AUTUMN BUNCH MINI SLIMLINE CARD I have been wanting autumn-themed Sealed products since Spellbinders first introduced their wax seal line and it makes me so happy that they're finally here!  I cut brightly colored cardstock with the Autumn Sealed Spring Die Set and blended some Distress Ink on the edges to give them dimension.  I also pressed some melted Green Wax Beads with the new Sunflower Wax Seal Stamp and traced over the pretty design with a gold metallic marker. To assemble the card, I first trimmed a piece of Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 3.25 x 6.25, embossed it with the Evergreen 3D Embossing Folder, matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock and wrapped it with some gold cording before adhering it to a top-folding Portobello card base measuring 3.5 x 6.5.  Once my sprigs were arranged underneath the gold cord, I added my wax seal on top and embellished with Gold Mix Gems. SIMPLE SUNFLOWER CARD And how pretty is this layered sunflower from the Sunflower Serenade Die Set?  I cut mine out of Beeswax, Rainforest, Timber, and Latte Cardstocks and added a bit of shading with Carved Pumpkin and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks before assembling it with liquid glue.  Then I cut a pretty greeting out of Lagoon and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Serenade Sentiments Die Set (so many beautiful sentiments in this set!). To create the background I embossed a piece of Lagoon Cardstock with the Autumn Serenade 3D Embossing Folder and rubbed gold gilding wax lightly over the raised parts to bring out the design more.  Then I just popped the sunflower and sentiment up on top with foam adhesive to complete the card. PRETTY AUTUMN THANK YOU CARD Lastly, the patterned paper in the Serenade Of Autumn Paper Pad is so beautiful, I wanted to create a really simple card where the focus was on one of my favorite designs in the pack.  I trimmed the paper to 4 x 5.25 and matted it with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adding it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. The beautiful script sentiment was cut from Mirror Gold and Alabaster Cardstock using the Serenade Sentiments Die Set and popped up on top of the card front with foam adhesive.  To complete the greeting, I foiled one of the sentiments from the Mini Sincere Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set in gold, and cut out just the piece I needed before adhering it to the card with foam adhesive.  Gold Mix Gems were added to embellish. Speaking of autumn, here are three fun card projects I created with shaker, scratch-off, and light-up products sold over in the Spellbinders shop.  I used products from the Serenade of Autumn, Envelope of Wonder, and Simon Hurleys Fall Collections to demonstrate these three fun interactive elements.  All the details for these can be found over on the Spellbinders Blog. I hope you enjoyed these pretty autumn card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Serenade Of Autumn Collection now and create your own beautiful cards for the season!  And don’t miss the Poppin Die Cutting Sale with up to 40% off some gorgeous dies going on now until Friday, October 13th!

Hello again friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Dancin' Christmas Collection from Spellbinders.  (Check out the rest of the September release here…so much amazing stuff this month!)  This collection contains four adorable die sets that create characters with moving legs plus a coordinating sentiment stamp set and a beautiful embossing folder.  I used all of the products in the collection to create four sweet cards perfect for sending a fun, interactive Christmas hello! DANCIN' PENGUIN CARD I loved all of the adorable characters in the collection so much, it was hard to pick which one to work with first!  But this little penguin stole my heart, so I cut him out of various patterned paper and cardstock using the Dancin' Penguin Die Set and inked some of the edges for dimension before assembling him with liquid glue. To create the background, I matted some pretty patterned paper with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base.  Then I cut Glacier Cardstock with one of the Essential Arches Dies and embossed it with the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder.  To create the snowy hill, I stamped one of the sentiments from the Dancin' Christmas Sentiment Stamp Set onto white cardstock and cut it out with the Color Block Scenic Scape Die Set.  Once I had added my snowy scene to the card with foam adhesive, I popped the cute penguin on top with more foam adhesive, allowing his legs to rock freely. DANCIN' FIGGY PUDDING And how adorable is this little guy...I've never had figgy pudding, but I just want to eat him up!  I cut this cute character out of traditional Christmas colors using the Dancin' Figgy Pudding Die Set and added some shading to the elements with Distress Ink and sponge daubers.  Although it's difficult to see in the photographs, I did add glossy lacquer to the icing for some shine before assembling everything. The background was created by applying Gold Hot Foil to Pink Sand Cardstock using the Pine Sprays Glimmer Plate.  I trimmed the panel down to 4 x 5.25 and added it to my card base with foam adhesive before embossing a matching sentiment from the Dancin' Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set in gold.  To finish off the card, I just added the figgy pudding and sentiment to the card front with foam adhesive. DANCIN' & GIFTIN' MOUSE CARD This next character (Dancin' & Giftin' Mouse Die Set) has tons of possibilities because there are interchangeable dies to dress him for different seasons and you could put really anything in his little hand!  I used some patterned paper from my stash to add a couple of extra textures to my card, but overall, kept my mouse looking like a Christmas mouse.  (You can give him loafers instead of boots, and give him a turtleneck/leave the scarf off for even more looks!) To create the background, I trimmed a piece of Waterfall Cardstock to 4 x 5.5 and embossed a sentiment from the Dancin' Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set in white along the bottom edge.  Then I dry embossed the top portion of the panel using the new Monoline Stars Embossing Folder, blended some Salty Ocean Distress Ink around the edges, and matted it with Cosmic Sky Cardstock before adhering it to my white card base.  I love how cute this turned out! DANCIN' GINGERBREAD SHAKER CARD Dancing cards not your thing?  Sometimes I just glue the figure together completely and add them to a fun card base instead!  Here I cut my cute Dancin' Gingerbread out of Dune, Pink Sand, Pomegranate, and Waterfall cardstock before adding some deep shading with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to make them look cooked.  Then I stamped a quick sentiment from the Dancin' Christmas Sentiments Stamp Set onto white cardstock using brown ink and trimmed it out into a strip. To create the shaker, I die cut Timber Cardstock with an oval die before embossing it with the Tiny Dots Embossing Folder and adding a piece of acetate to the back.  After adding some foam adhesive around the window and snowflake/star confetti inside (sorry, I don't know where these are from...I probably got them in a kit at some point!) I closed the shaker up with a piece of cute gingerbread house patterned paper from my stash.  Once mounted on a white card base, I simply popped the sentiment and gingerbread men up on top to complete the card. I hope you enjoyed these cute card projects and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Dancin’ Christmas Collection now and create fun interactive cards for the holidays too.  And don’t miss the Fall Warehouse Sale with deals as low as $1 on amazing products from now until Thursday, September 21st!

Happy Monday friends!  Today I’m excited to share the new Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken.  With ornate holiday designs, beautiful A2, mini slimline, and slimline backgrounds, and even a pretty embossing folder, this collection has everything you need to create gorgeous Christmas cards in all shapes and sizes.  I combined several of the products in the collection to create a warm and elegant slimline card here but check out the sneak peek below to see a few more ways to use these beautiful designs! I started by cutting Dune Cardstock using the frame die and Mirror Gold, Fern, Rainforest, and Crimson Cardstock using the ornament dies from the Flourished Ornament Slimline Die Set.  After embossing the inner frame die cut with the beautiful Holly Flourish Embossing Folder, I applied a little Vintage Photo Distress Ink to bring out the design even more.  Then I assembled the ornaments with liquid glue (there are several different ornament parts in the set that can be combined to create tons of uniquely shaped ornaments!). Once the ornaments were added to the card front with foam adhesive, I cut one of the birds from the adorable Sugarplum Tweets Die Set out of Phone Booth, Fern, Persimmon, and Rainforest Cardstock and assembled him with liquid glue.  I finished off the card with a sentiment and holly leaves cut with the Noel Mini Slimline Die Set. And here are three more projects I made with this beautiful collection.  The first card combines the adorable snowman from the Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront Die Set with a background created with the Noel Mini Slimline Die Set and the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder as well as a sentiment from the Joy Flourish Doily Die Set.  Next I added those cute birds from the Sugarplum Tweets Die Set to the wreath-like frame from the Let It Snowman A2 Cardfront Die Set and finished the card off with some tiny ornaments from the Merry Flourish Die Set.  Finally, I took the cute cottage from the All Hearts Come Home A2 Cardfront Die Set and cut it out three times to cover the frame from the Flourished Ornament Slimline Die Set and panel embossed with the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder (sentiment foiled in Moondust Hot Foil using the Glitter Wishes Glimmer Plate Set).  You can find the complete instructions for these over on the Spellbinders blog! I hope you enjoyed these pretty holiday cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Christmas Flourish Collection now and create your own gorgeous and elegant holiday projects.  Don’t miss the Fall Warehouse Sale with prices as low as $1 on clearance items and up to 40% off other bestselling items as well!

Happy Monday friends!  There is a gorgeous new release from Spellbinders this month (check it all out here!), but I still haven't had a chance to introduce all of last month's collections yet!  Today I’m excited to share a couple of projects using the Tinsel Time Collection.  The adorable dancing characters, gorgeous glimmer designs, and cute sentiments in this huge collection inspired me to create four cards perfect sending a sweet holiday hello. CHRISTMAS FOX CARD The Dancin' Deer Die Set is adorable, but I couldn't help noticing that you could probably make several other forest animals out of this set just by changing a few colors or adding a tail.  I love foxes, so I made a cute Christmas fox by cutting white and Terra Cotta Cardstock and adding a fluffy layered tail created with the chest fur die in the set.  After assembling him with liquid glue, I added some plaid detailing to his scarf with a white paint pen. The background was created by applying the new Satin Champagne Hot Foil to Dune Cardstock using the Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Plate...I love the subtle and pretty look this combination gives!  To finish off the card, I foiled a matching sentiment from the Christmas Magic Glimmer Plate Set onto Crimson Cardstock and cut it out using the Sentiment Labels Die Set. DANCIN' SNOWMAN MINI SLIMLINE CARD And how adorable is the Dancin' Snowman Die Set?!  I cut this cute guy out of light and bright cardstock colors, added a few details with that same white paint pen, and assembled him with liquid glue.  For the snowy hill, I stamped a sentiment from the Dancin' Holiday Sentiments Stamp Set onto white cardstock using black ink and cut it out with one of the dies from the Color Block Scenic Scape Die Set. The shimmering sky was created by first cutting Raindrop Cardstock using the largest die from the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A Die Set and then applying the new Sparkle Silver Hot Foil to the panel using the Starburst Glimmer Plate.  After matting it with some Mirror Silver Cardstock, I added it to a top-folding white card base measuring 3.5 x 6.5 with tape runner and added the snowman and hill on top with foam adhesive. CHRISTMAS MEMORIES TAG CARD This collection also has a ton of gorgeous holiday sentiments that fit perfectly on some of the previously-released tag dies, so I created a card with one of these next.  After applying Satin Champagne Hot Foil to Crimson Cardstock using one of the sentiments from the Christmas Magic Glimmer Plate Set, I cut it out using the tag die from the Create A Decorative Tag Die Set.  (If you prefer not to use hot foil, these sentiments also come as stamps in the Christmas Memories Enclosed Stamp Set!) The subtle background was created by inking and embossing Dune Cardstock using the new Cable Knit Stencil.  After adding the foiled tag to the card front with foam adhesive, I assembled a pretty winter bouquet on top using the Holiday Blooms Die Set and added a quick bow of twine to finish off the card. WINTER CHEER CARD The Tinsel Time Collection also contains great basics like borders and sentiments.  Here I cut white cardstock using three and Mirror Silver Cardstock using one of the gorgeous border dies from the Winter Borders Die Set and layered them up over some Raindrop Cardstock for a quick, but elegant card. I added a sentiment cut from Mirror Silver Cardstock using the Tinsel Time Sentiments Die Set and a couple of tiny blooms cut using the Holiday Blooms Die Set to finish off the card.  (I love the unique font in that die set!) RETURNING FAVORITES - DANCIN' SANTA AND HOLIDAY EXPRESS Lastly, there are two seriously cute die sets in the collection that you may recognize...the Dancin' Santa Die Set and Holiday Express Die Set were previously included in card kits over the last couple of years, but have been tweaked and re-released as stand-alone die sets due to their popularity.  I thought I would re-share the cards I made with them back then in case you decide these are must-haves for you (I know I will never part with mine!). The Dancin' Santa Die Set is seriously adorable...I had a little fun with mine back then and gave him boxers and an Amazon box (2020-style Santa ;) ), but I promise he looks great with pants on too! The Holiday Express Die Set has everything you need to create as long of a train as you want and fill it with presents and ornaments.  I modeled mine after the local tourist steam engine line near me for this fun card.  (Note: the new Holiday Express Die Set cuts an engine that faces in the opposite direction compared to the one above, so if you have the original die set from the previously-released card kit, then you could create trains in both directions!) I hope you enjoyed these sweet holiday cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Tinsel Time Collection now and create tons of adorable cards just in time for Christmas!  Don’t miss the Fall Warehouse Sale with prices as low as $1 on clearance items and up to 40% off other bestselling items as well!

Hello again friends!  Today I’m excited to share another new collection from the September release by Spellbinders - the Winter Tales Collection.  Inspired by Norwegian folk art and complete with all of the most popular winter icons, this collection is perfect for all styles of holiday cards from clean and simple to elegant and fussy.  I created three sweet Christmas cards in non-traditional colors with the collection and can't wait to use these designs for other seasons as well! MAGICAL DEER CARD I couldn't get over how sweet the Magical Deer Die Set was, so I started with this set first.  After cutting the magical deer out of white, brown, pink, Phone Booth, and Mirror Gold Cardstock, I pieced him together with liquid glue.  Then I cut him a snow bank to stand on out of white cardstock using the Color Block Scenic Scape Die Set. For the background, I embossed some peach cardstock from my stash with the Ski Lodge Embossing Folder and added it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner.  Then I popped the snowbank and deer up on top with foam adhesive and added a pretty sentiment embossed in gold using the Peace & Joy Stamp Set. NORDIC ORNAMENT CARD Next I wanted to create a pretty and simple card with the beautiful Nordic Ornaments Die Set.  I chose the larger ornament from the set, because it's large enough to serve as a focal point alone on a card, and cut it out of some purple, pink, red, and mustard cardstock.  Once pieced together with liquid glue, I added a small bow of thin red ribbon. I embossed my background again with the Ski Lodge Embossing Folder (this time with some Alabaster Cardstock) because I love how you can easily change the look of the background just by moving your paper up or down within the rows of the beautiful pattern.  To finish the card off, I stamped another pretty sentiment from the Peace & Joy Stamp Set with purple ink and popped it up underneath the ornament with foam adhesive. PEACEFUL FLOWERS CARD My last card features the beautiful Enchanted Garden Die Set...with 19 different dies, you can create countless different floral stems with this set!  I cut a few of the flowers out of Glacier, Raindrop, Cosmic Sky, Poppy Field, Lunar Gray, and Graphite Cardstock and pieced them together with liquid glue. Next I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and embossed the top two-thirds of it with the Ski Lodge Embossing Folder before adhering it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.  Then I stamped the letters from the Peace & Joy Stamp Set in blue ink, fussycut them out with scissors, and popped them up underneath my flowers with more foam adhesive. I hope you enjoyed these pretty winter cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Winter Tales Collection now and create your own gorgeous folk art-inspired cards for the holidays.  Don’t miss the Fall Warehouse Sale with prices as low as $1 on clearance items and up to 40% off other bestselling items as well!

Hello crafty friends!  I am beyond excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with my brand new collection from Spellbinders, the Country Road Collection by Annie Williams.  (You can check out the rest of the May release here…so much good stuff!)  It truly was an honor to be asked to collaborate with such a wonderful company on this collection of stamps and dies and I am so pleased with the final products.  I hope you love them too! https://youtu.be/AkVN5jj9auc This collection is inspired by rural Pennsylvania, a place my family now calls home after many years of moving from city to city to pursue my education and career in science.   When we traded busy city streets for rolling country roads, I was struck by the beautiful gardens and entryways my friends and neighbors spent countless hours building to create the warm and welcoming community around me. There are five products in this collection – four die sets and a stamp and die set (you can buy the whole collection and save with this bundle!).  Each set was carefully designed with versatility in mind and to work with all of the other sets in the collection.  My hope is that you’ll find yourself inspired to use this suite of products to create projects for different occasions and seasons all year long! COUNTRY WHEELBARROW CARD The Country Wheelbarrow Die Set was one of my favorite sets to design because it can be used as a vessel to carry just about anything, and therefore customized for occasions year-round!  Here I've filled it full of leafy branches and brightly colored flowers from the Garden Builder Die Set for a pretty spring thank you card. There are loads of flowers, sprigs, leaves, and branches to choose from in the Garden Builder Die Set and I picked some of the simpler shapes to keep the focus on that pretty wheelbarrow (check out the gorgeous woodgrain details on all of the panels!).  I added the fun image to an oval cut with the Essential Ovals Die Set, inked with Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink for a bit of atmosphere, and stamped with a fun and fitting greeting from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set.  The card front has been embossed with the Flower Frenzy 3D Embossing Folder. SUMMER VEGGIES WHEELBARROW Here I've assembled the Country Wheelbarrow in fresh John Deere-inspired colors and added some yummy veggies from the Seasonal Decor Die Set inside for a cute summertime love card.  The Seasonal Decor Die Set includes peppers, tomatoes, carrots, pumpkins, and so much more! For the greeting, I've altered the sign from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set to look like a garden marker.  The sunshine decorative inlay and cute sentiment go perfectly with this load of veggies!  I embossed the card front with the Sun Rays Embossing Folder to really let that wheelbarrow shine. HOLIDAY FLATBED WHEELBARROW CARD Did I mention the Country Wheelbarrow was designed so that the side panels could be removed too?  Just like a real Amish-style wheelbarrow, you can turn it into a flatbed for even more versatility.  I filled this one full of pine sprigs from the Garden Builder Die Set and logs from the Seasonal Decor Die Set for a wintry holiday card. I stamped a coordinating sentiment from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set onto a white background panel I had cut using the Fluted Classics Rectangles Die Set.  After placing my wheelbarrow front and center, I added a cute gift box cut with the Seasonal Decor Die Set to really intensify the holiday cheer. RUSTIC GARDEN CARD The Rustic Garden Die Set includes all of the dies you need to build a beautiful country garden scene –a wagon wheel, barrel, birdhouse, water pump, and split-rail fencing.  I added some pretty bunches of flowers cut with the Garden Builder Die Set to this light and bright mini slimline card for a spring or summer feel, but this set is great for winter and fall too! The barrel and birdhouse in the set can be used in so many ways...and I love all of the gorgeous embossed details these dies create!  Barrels can look quite masculine, but I cut white cardstock using the barrel die and inked it with Salvaged Patina and Pumice Stone Distress Inks for a soft and pretty look and added the bright birdhouse on top. The water pump was cut from Phone Booth Cardstock for a pop of color in the background and added behind the white split-rail fence.  In front, I added three bunches of long grass, leafy sprigs, and flowers cut with the Garden Builder Die Set. The entire scene is placed upon a white panel cut to 3.25 x 6.25 and inked lightly with Salty Ocean and Mowed Lawn Distress Ink to give the impression of a grassy field in the background.  I finished the card with a cute sentiment from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set. WELCOME FALL CARD And here's a similar scene created with the Rustic Garden Die Set but celebrating autumn thanks to a slight change in the color scheme and the addition of some gourds and wheat.  The fence and barrel were cut from Dune and Timber Cardstocks instead of white and I've also included the wagon wheel in this scene.  Edges were inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink to give them a warm glow. There are plenty of pumpkins to choose from in the Seasonal Decor Die Set (I couldn't help myself...I LOVE fall!) and I added three of them here.  A few sprigs of wheat, a sweet kitty, and some pretty little sunflowers from the Garden Builder Die Set bring it all together. HOLIDAY CHEER PLANTER CARD Here's another cute way to use the barrel from the Rustic Garden Die Set...as a holiday planter!  I cut the barrel from Phone Booth and Timber Cardstocks and just trimmed off the top half after assembling.  Now you can fill it with almost any of the plants from the Garden Builder Die Set, but I chose just the pine sprigs, berry branches, and colored some of the flower stems to look like birch branches for a fun wintry vibe. The rest of the card is quite simple.  I added the planter on top of a set of circles I cut from white and Mirror Gold Cardstock using the Postage Edge Circles Die Set and added a sentiment from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set in the top corner.  The card front is a piece of Fern Cardstock that I embossed with the Diamond Plaid Embossing Folder and matted with Mirror Gold Cardstock before adhering to a square white card base. WELCOME SIGN CARD The Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set was soooo much fun to design because it really has endless options.  There are two main styles of sign posts as well as 6 die-cut and 9 stamped decorative inserts.  Nearly 30 sentiment stamps can be mixed and matched to fit almost any occasion.  I chose the more ornate sign post and added a floral die-cut insert and simple sentiment for my sign to create this pretty card perfect for someone who recently bought a new home. The split-rail fence from the Rustic Garden Die Set was adhered directly to the background panel with glue so that the sign and flowers could be popped up on top.  I love the layered hosta from the Garden Builder Die Set...I wanted a low, clumpy plant included in the set to add some contrast to some of the taller sprigs and flowers. RUSTIC AUTUMN SIGN CARD And of course I had to create an autumn card using this set as well!  Here I cut the simpler style of sign post from the set out of Dune Cardstock and stamped a pumpkin icon and fun sentiment on top.  I purposely added what I'd describe as scenic sentiments to the stamp set, so that the sign could be used as more of a decorative background element on the card, and a primary sentiment could be added elsewhere. Any number of elements from the other die sets can be added to the base of the Welcome Sign...here I chose the wagon wheel from the Rustic Garden Die Set, wheat, sunflowers, and kitty from the Garden Builder Die Set, and pumpkins from the Seasonal Decor Die Set.  A simple background panel with embossed sentiment finish off this pretty autumn card. SWEET BIRDHOUSE WREATH CARD Maybe you don't need to include the entire sign post too?  Here I stamped a sweet love sentiment and heart icon onto my sign insert and just hung my welcome sign from the edge of my card front.  The background was created by embossing a piece of Pink Sand Cardstock with the Geo Screen Embossing Folder. With the Garden Builder Die Set, you can build a many-layered garden like I've shown in several samples above or even a wreath like this one.  After arranging some of the leafy branches in a circle, I added some simple flowers and a bird house to the center for a charming focal point on this sweet love card. WAGON WHEEL WREATH CARD And speaking of wreaths, the wagon wheel from the Rustic Garden Die Set is the perfect backdrop for a country-style wreath card.  I inked a white wagon wheel with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and added leafy branches and flowers to about two-thirds of it.  The bow is cut with the dies meant for the gift box in the Seasonal Decor Die Set. I created my own woodgrain background with a scoreboard and swiping some blue and grey ink pads directly over the panel.  After adhering my rustic wreath to the card front, I popped another sweet sentiment from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set up in the bottom corner.
