Stampendous Spring Collection Released at Spellbinders!

 This month Spellbinders released some of their own products along with some  Stampendous  Beautiful Spring Collection.  This collection is full of butterflies, birds and spring florals to make beautiful cards.  Today I have three examples using 3 products from this collection.  

These cards were so easy and fun to create.  I started with the center card.  I used an A2 white card base and added a frame of dark blue paper.  Then using the Stampendous Quick Card Backgrounds - Joy of Spring papers, I cut out a square using the Petite Picot Squares from Spellbinders.  I then cut a white piece of cardstock using the postage edge ovals and ink blended some light blue ink onto the oval.  Then I stamped the sentiment, bird, and ground, using the Stampendous Sweet Song stamp set.  This was then colored with copic markers and popped up using foam squares onto the center of the square piece.  I then added some blue gems from my stash to finish it off.

For this second card, I also started with a white A2card base and added a mat of some mauve colored cardstock.   To this I added a slightly smaller piece of the Stampendous Quick Card Backgrounds - Joy of Spring.  This paper is so pretty and makes creating backgrounds super eashy!  I then stamped my sentiment and image onto white cardstock using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black.  I  cut out the image using the Fancy Edge Rectangles and colored the flowers with my copic markers.  The rectangle was then popped up onto the front of the card using foam squares.  I added some pink gems from my stash as a final touch.  

Once again this card started with a white A2 cardbase.  I then added the Stampendous Quick Card Background paper as a mat.  Then I cut  a blue and a white oval with the decorative edge with the Fluted Classic Ovals.  I cut the yellow plain oval from the same set.  The yellow oval was popped up using foam squares.  I then stamped the image  from the Stampendous Bird Song stamp set but only used the florals.  For the top floral I masked  off the pink flower and just stamped the 3 smaller flowers.  They were all colored with my copic markers and cut out using my Brother Scan and Cut.  But if you don't have a Scan n Cut these can easily be fussy cut.  I then added the sentiment to the center white oval with Cobalt Blue foil using my Glimmer Hot Foil System and the Stylish Script Thank You and Birthday glimmer plate.  Then the flowers were placed as shown in the photo and popped up where needed.  As a final touch, I decided to add some blue gems from my stash. 

I hope  these cards inspired you and that you will give this collection a look.  You won't be disappointed!  You can see the complete collection here.

Spellbinders New Release Day! The Victorian Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn

 Today is release day over at Spellbinders, so I am sure you are going to want to check this release out!  I am a sucker for anything cup or teapot related so when I saw this beautiful die set, I knew I had to have it!  The first piece from this collection that I am sharing is the Teacup and Saucer Die set. along with the Victorian Garden Foliage, the  Camellia, and the Southern Magnolia.  Here is a  photo of all of my projects for this collection!  But don't think this is all!  There is lots more being released today.  To see the whole release, just click here

The first three  cards I will share with you use the Teacup and Saucer die set from this new collection.  Here  is the first one:

For this card I started with an A card base to which I added some soft pink plaid and light blue for the background.  I wanted the cup to look as though it were setting on a table.  I then cut the cup and saucer from printed paper being sure to center the floral motif in the center of the teacup.  I then added some shading to both the cup and saucer using my copic markers.  The spoon was added with brushed silver cardstock and was cut using the Dish It up Dies.  The sentiment was stamped from my stash using black ink.  I finished this card off by adding some pink jewels and popping up the teacup with foam squares.  

For the next card, I decided to create a shaker card  using the teacup.  Here is a photo of the finished project. 

It was created in much the same way as the first card, except for the fact that the inside of the cup is a shaker.  I added some brown colored seed beads from my collection to represent the beverage.  I then decided to add some fun colorful flowers from the Petite Floral Potpourri die set to coordinate with the stripe colors on the cup.  The sentiment was stamped using black ink and a sentiment stamp from my collection.    As a final touch, I added some fashion gold  embellishments to the center of each flower and shaded the cup and saucer with my copic markers

For the third project, I still couldn't resist using the cup and saucer and filling it with beautiful Camellias and Victorian Garden Folliage.

This card is a 5x 7 it gave me a little more room to work with.  I started out with a white base card to which I added a mat of pink striped paper for the background.  The cup and saucer was cut from a light pink printed paper from my stash and shaded with a pink copic marker.  It was popped up onto the card using foam squares.  I then used the Camellia Die and the Garden Foliage dies from this new collection to fill the teacup with beautiful flowers and greenery/  The edges of the flowers were tipped with Distressed Ink and an Ink dauber, they were then shaped, assembled and glued along with the greenery to the front of the card.  The sentiment came from the Everyday Sentiments TI and was foiled using Bright Pink Foil and my Glimmer machine.  As a final touch, I added some pink enamel drops from my shash.  

I also used the Camellia die for this card:

This card started with a white A2 base card to which I added a front of dark coral cardstock.  I then used the Scrolled Punch and Pierce Die set  and added the larges and smallest pieces to the card front as shown.  The smaller piece was backed with a yellow cardstock.  

I made a large Camellia and used the Garden Foliage dies to create the flower arrangement in the lower left corner.  The sentiment was done using Tangerine Foil, my glimmer machine and the Elegant Occasion Sentiments.  It was cut out and popped up using foam squares.   As a final touch I found some pretty glimmery enamel dots that I placed across the center of the card. 

This final card was probably the most fun to create:

This too is an A2 white card base.  It was then matted with some brushed gold cardstock.  I then used a piece of Yupo White Cardstock and some alchohol inks to create this pretty orange background.   Once dry I lightly sprayed it with some gold glimmer spray from my stash and embossed it with the Stylized Trellis Embossing folder.  It was then cut slightly smaller than the gold piece and glued on top of it.  The gold ribbon and bow were created using The mini bow die and a strip of the brushed gold cardstock.  I then made and assembled a Southern Magnolia from this new collection.  The inside of the petals were shaded lightly with a yellow copic marker.  It was then glued to the front center of the card.  I added the sentiment using Matte Gold Foil and my Glimmer Machine to foil the Everday Sentiments II onto white cardstock which was then cut out and popped up onto the card front using foam squares.  As a final addition I added some Fashion Gold Embellishments for a little extra bling. 

I hope you like all these examples from the new collection!  I would love to hear which one is your favorite!  Please check out all the new releases over at Spellbinders by clicking here.  There are certainly some really special items available!

Spellbinders Quick and Easy Card Kit of the Month for March 2023

 Today I am featuring the Quick and Easy card kit for March of 2023 by Spellbinders.  I have created six different cards using this kit.  All six cards were created using only products found in  the kit except for most common craft supplies, such as scissors, paper trimmer, and glue etc.

Here are photos of each individual card:

There is so much paper and ephemera left over you could easily make many more card/projects.  I hope you like these cards and will find some inspiration of your own to create using this fabulous kit.

Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month for March 2023 - Stylized Calla Lily

 Today I am featuring Spellbinders Embossing Folder of the Month Club for March 2023.  It is called the Stylized Calla Lily and features a beautiful overall design.  

Today I created a very simple card style.  If you change the colors it would make  a perfect masculine card which we all struggle with.  This card went together so quickly.  It is the perfect last minute card for any occasion.

I started off with a white A2 base card to which I added a matte  of a dark peach color.  Next I used the embossing folder to emboss a piece of lighter peach cardstock and used the debossed side.  This was then attached to the matte on the front of the card.  

For the sentiment I used the one from the Large Die of the Month for March 2023 (flowering tree and collapsible card base) shown to you yesterday.  As a final touch I added some dark peach enamel dots to the front.  

Like I said, this is such a quick and easy card, just change the sentiment and it is ready for any occasion!  Be sure to stop back tomorrow when I will be showing you the last of this months club kits.  I am sure you won't want to miss that!  To see all the club kits Spellbinders offers each month, simply click here.
