Eggs-Traordinary Easter Card

Today I am featuring a new Easter card from Simon Hurley's new collection called the Stamp and Die collection from Ranger and Spellbinders.  I chose the Easter Bunny Stamps and matching dies for this card.  

 To create this card, I started with an A2 White Card base to which I added this lovely background paper from my stash.  I then cut the paper to leave a small border around the outside of the mat.  I then used the Candlewick Rectangles and cut a green  piece of cardstock to blend nicely with the background.  

I used the bunny and eggs from the stamp set and stamped them onto white cardstock.  They were then colored with Copic markers and cut out with the matching die set.  The eggs were glued and the bunny was popped up.  The sentiment was also stamped from the stamp set and cut out as shown. It was then glued to the card front.

This set is very versatile!  You can use it for Easter, Birthdays, etc.   I hope you liked this card and will attempt to create one or more of your own!  Spellbinders paper arts and Ranger are delighted to bring you this collaboration!

Easy Just Because card

 Today I am showing off the last card I made using the January 2024 clubs.  I am only showing 4 of the many clubs you can choose from.  Check out all the clubs and how they work by just clicking here.  Today's card features the Die of the Month for January 2024 which is called Sitting Pretty.

This card was so easy to make.  I started with a piece of plaid cardstock which I had in my stash.  The colors of the plaid decided my color theme of purples and pinks.   I attached a mat of purple cardstock and a smaller mat of the plaid cardstock to the front of an A2 base card. I then used the DOM to cut out the two flowers, birds, and greenery.  These were arranged and glued onto the front of the card as shown.

For the sentiment I decided to use an older sentiment from the Spellbinders Giving Occasions stamp set.  This was stamped in Dusty Concord Distressed Ink.  I then cut it out and popped it up using foam squares.

As a final embellishment, I added some purple enamel dots to the front of the card.

As you can see, this made a very pretty card and you can use it for any occasion, by simply changing the sentiment to fit your needs.  You can also change up the color scheme to suite your taste.

A Quick, Easy, Simple Card for any Occassion

 Hi!  Today I am showing off the Embossing Folder of the Month for Jan 2024 from Spellbinders.  This is the third of 4 different clubs I will be showing you.  This card was so simple and quick to make.  It could easily be a masculine card or a card for any occasion!

To create this card, I started with some pretty plaid paper from my stash.  I chose the main color in the plaid and used it as my base and main color.  I started with an A2 size card base, to which I added a mat of both the solid color and plaid cardstock.  I then cut a piece of the solid color and inked the embossing folder with twisted citron, which matched my cardstock closely.  I then embossed it and added it to the front of my card using foam squares.

For the sentiment I hot foiled the word Hello from the Be Bold glimmer sentiments set using darker green foil. It was then cut out and popped up onto the front of the card using foam squares.  As a finishing touch, I added some green enamel dots from my stash. 

As I said this was a very simple and quick card for anyone who needs a card in a hurry or just doesn't want to fuss.  It could be for any occasion, by simply changing out the sentiment and of course, you can do any color combination you would like.  I chose green because of the leaves in the embossing folder.  It would also be a great masculine card which we all seem to struggle with.

Floral Themed and Hot Foiled Thank You Card

 Today as we step into the 3rd day of 2024, I have another card done using a monthly club from Spellbinders.  This time I used the the Glimmer of the Month for January 2024 called Card Front Floral.  

This beautiful card was made starting with an A2 card base.  To that I added some mirror gold cardstock leaving a small white border around the card front.  Next I foiled the floral  plate using gold foil onto white paper.  It was then trimmed to a slightly smaller than the mirrored gold cardstock and colored using my copic markers.  It was then attached to the front of the card.

The sentiment was taken from Yana's Special Sentiments foil set and I also used the gold foil for this.  It was then die cut and popped up with foam squares.  

I think this made for a gorgeous card.  You can easily change the sentiment and use the design for any number  of occasions.  Foiling is something I love to do and adds such an elegant touch to my cards!  To see all of this month's clubs please click here.

Happy New Year! Plus a new Card!

Happy New Year! and welcome 2024.  Spellbinders has released it's first clubs for this year and they are great!  Over the next couple days I will be sharing some of them with you!  Today I have for you the Stitched Die of the Month for January 2024. 

To make this card, I started with an A2 card base.  I then cut a piece of blue cardstock and embossed it with the Diamond Plaid Embossing Folder.  It was then added to the front of the card leaving a small white border all around.

The bee was cut from black and yellow cardstock and stitched with the same colors of embroidery thread.  It was glued together then I added the wings with some vellum and stitched them with silver embroidery thread.   I the cut several of the flowers in red and the greenery in green cardstock and glued it to the bottom of the card front.  The bee was attached above the flowers using foam squares.

Finally I foiled one of the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments in gold foils, cut it out and popped it up above the greenery with foam squares. 

 I hope you liked this card and will give it a try for yourself.  To see all of this month's clubs simply click here.
