Spellbinders New Release - Sealed by Spellbinders Collection

 Today I am thrilled to be sharing with you four products from the new release over at Spellbinders.  I am sure you will love it!  It is called Sealed by Spellbinders Collection and features a 2 pages of new and unique products.  I am showing off the Geometric Diamond Background glimmer plate and matching stencil along with the Sealed birds, and Sealed glimmer sentiments.  I hope you like what I have to show you!  All the products used are listed below at the end of this post.


The first card I created was the birthday card created in blues and gold foiling.  I cut out the bird die from x-press it blending cardstock and colored it with my copic markers.  I also added some details to the birds with the markers.  

I then took a piece of white cardstock and foiled the background plate onto it using gold foil.  This was then placed on a blue mat which is slightly smaller than the size of the card.  I then glued the birds and branch across the top of the glimmered area and the popped up a glimmer sentiment with foam squares. 


For this second card, I thought it would be perfect for a fall card.  I first glimmered the background using copper foil. Then I colored it it using the coordinating stencil and some different shades of orange ink.  It was then placed onto a mat background of copper glitter paper.  The Fall Label Motif die set was then used to create the center arch which was made from copper metallic paper and more of the glitter paper  I then cut three of the pumpkins from the set and two of the acorns.  They were then inked around the edges using some vintage photo distress ink.  They were then glued across the bottom of the card and the center one was popped up using foam squares  The sentiment was cut from the September 22 die of the month .


The third card was created in much the same way as the first two.  I glimmered the background onto white cardstock and colored it in with pretty blue green inks using the coordinating stencil.  I left the smallest diamonds uncolored because I really liked the look.  I then mounted it on some matching green blue cardstock and placed it onto the card front.  The oval was cut using the Essential Ovals die set and placed in the top center of the card.  I did the birds and branches the same as I did for the first card and glued them to the oval. I trimmed some of the branch which overhung the oval.  The sentiment was then also glimmered with old ink using the Sealed glimmer sentiments and gold foil. It was cut and framed onto another piece of the background cardstock and popped up on the bottom with foam squares.  As a final touch I found these really pretty gems which matched perfectly and added them to the cardfront. 


Which one is your favorite?  I would have to say mine is the last one.  I love the colors and how everything came together so well.  Let me know what you think in the comments below.  I would love to hear from you!

Happy Halloween Shaker Card - Kat Scrapiness

 Today I am showing off this really cute Halloween card I created using products from Kat Scrapiness. I love how this came out and the little shaker bits make an  awesome addition!  I hope you like it too!



To create this adorable card I started with an A2 white card base.  I added  a   piece of colorful striped paper from the Creepy & Kooky paper pack.  This was cut slightly smaller so that I had a white frame around the card.  I tried to match the cardstock to the green stripe in the paper which I think I came pretty close.  The sentiment was cut from this green paper using the Spooky Halloween Die.  I then created the shaker portion of the card by using the Jack-o-Lantern/pumpkin Shaker Die.  I used the Groovy Ghouls Sprinkle  mix and the Halloween Night Sequin mix to the shaker for some fun.  Both sets are really cute as you can see from the photo below.  



I glued the facial features onto the front of the acetate and added some highlight lines with a white gel pen.  

I felt the card still needed something so I decided to add a little ghost wearing a bow tie to the lower right side of the card.  This was cut from Boo-gy Ghost Die set as was the bow tie.  For a final touch I decided to add the moon and bat to the upper right corner of the card.  For these two pieces Were cut  from the Crafters Essentials Halloween Dies.  

This completed this easy and fun Halloween Card.  I think anyone would be glad to receive it as it is a more fun card than a spooky one.  It would be great for kids, because of the shaker element, but I am sure adults would like it too!  Please be sure to check out Kat Scrappiness for all your card making needs!

Easy Thanksgiving card using only 3 products from Kat Scrappiness

 As many of you have heard, I recently purchased a Brother Scan and Cut.  While playing with it, I decided to see if it would cut out the images from some of the papers in my Gobble Gobble paper pad from Kat Scrappiness.  I am very happy to say it did a beautiful job.  If you do not have a scan and cut, you can easily just fussy cut these items out with a pair of detail scissors.  By just using the stamp and die set for the sentiment and 5 different sheets of the paper pad (two for the mat and background and 3 for the cutouts), I was able to create this fun and simple Thanksgiving card.


So sorry for the glare, there is a better photo of the card below.

To create this card, I started with a white A2 size card base and added a  sheet of teal gingham paper from the Gobble Gobble paper pad as a mat and then added a slightly smaller sheet of the same color polka dot paper for the background piece.  I used three separate pieces of this paper pad to cut out the items on my card, The pumpkin paper, the turnkey paper and the leaf paper.  As I said these can easily be cut using a pair of detail scissors. 

I chose three of the turkeys and pumpkins as shown then added two leaves to each of the pumpkins in opposite colors.  I wanted to use a teal pumpkin and teal leaves to keep my color scheme.  These were all glued in pace with liquid glue.  

Finally, I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock with Black Ink using the Gobble Gobble stamp set and die cut it out using the matching Gobble Gobble Die set.  This was net mounted onto a piece of teal cardstock and popped up using foam squares to the center of the card. 

That is it!  Easy as pie!  A cute Thanksgiving card using a minimum of supplies.  I  hope you enjoy it and will give it a try for yourself!  Here is a photo of the finished card.

3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken - Twin Lens Camera

 Today I am featuring three different projects using the new 3D vignette Twin Lens Camera die set from Becca Feeken.  This set can be used for both a 3D project or 5x7 cards as I have showed in my examples.  The camera features pockets that hold4 different cards on which you can mount photos for a cute display and storage.  I am sure you will love this whole collection.!  As usual, I have listed all the products used to create these projects at the end of this post.  



For the first card I decided to create a fun belated birthday card.  I love how the sentiments make for a fun kind of play on words.  The top sentiment comes with the set and the bottom sentiment was from the Birthday Unboxing set.  I used some pretty yellow and green papers along with black and brushed silver making just the front part of the camera.  I then added the flower which also comes with this die set.  The green enamel dots were from my stash and both sentiments were popped up onto foam squares. 


For the next project, I decided to create a 3D camera which I did from different black and grey colored cardstock. It really looks like a box camera!  I just love how it turned out.  I decided to add a pink flower to this camera with a pearl from my stash in the center.  



For the third and final card, I also decided to create another fun birthday card.  I I used fun colorful polka dot paper for a background paper.  I added some pretty blue cardstock along with more brushed silver accents.  I also added several different multicolored flowers to the camera at both the top and bottom corners.  I used some of the flowers from the petite floral Potpourri die set for this card to add some different sizes of blossoms.  The sentiments also came from both the set and the Birthday Unboxing set and were popped up on foam squares.  


This camera set was so fun to play with and created some great cards and project.  I hope you will check out this whole collection as there are some really cute die sets in it.  And as always, you know Becca Feeken always hits a home run when she designs something!
