Autumn Archives Collection by Kelly Bangs

 

This month the new collection from Kelly Bangs is called Autumn Archives. The diecutting pieces are based on the coordination scrapbooking pieces. You can see the entire collection HERE. Many of the paper pieces are sold out but I have the diecutting pieces, which I used for cards. I can easily see how they can be used for scrapbooking or journaling.

I had made this background with some old Color Burst Powders I had. Color Burst Powders are fine dry powders that you can sprinkle on paper and with water, they become watercolors. I have the Ken Oliver set called Earthtones, I bought them several years ago and rarely use them. I sprinkled some on watercolor paper and then misted them with water. Not my favorite medium, I always put too much on and end up with a mess. This time I used a bit less. I ended up with an, eh, background that I diecut for the Changing Trees dieset. It looked pretty good. Diecut those less than stellar backgrounds!

I cut some scrap blue cardstock with the Perfect Touch Rectangles dieset. I thought the trees looked more grounded in small frames. The sentiment is from the same collection, I Glimmer hot foiled it in Copper hot foil. The background is called Dimpled embossing folder from the Texture & Foliage. The embossing folder leaves a very cool look.

Spellbinders Essential Stars from the All About Christmas Collection

 

Today I'm using the Spellbinders Essential Stars from the All About Christmas Collection by Lisa Horton. You can see the entire collection HERE. There's a lot of fun images in this collection, I've already made 2 other cards that I have blog posts for if you're interested in more ideas:

My Essential Stars card started out as just cutting the stars out of glitter cardstock. I have several boxes from Your Paper Insider. I often go to these boxes for inspiration. There are several sheets of glitter cardstock in these boxes so I just pulled out this purple shade.

The stars are nesting dies, so you can use them as solid stars or cut two together and make a star frame. I made all solid stars, and after I cut one from the purple cardstock I though it would look good to place the gold star underneath the cutout. Then I thought I should layer the smaller stars on top.

The sentiments are from the same collection. I used a scrap of mulicolored glitter cardstock to cut the Christmas diecut.

Spellbinders August Stitching Die of the Month

 The Spellbinders Autust Stitching Die of the Month is called, Hand Folded Stitch. To me, it looks like an origami boat. 

Joining a club is overwhelming to some, but I think it's a great opportunity. You can join a Spellbinders Club or Clubs you can join for the one and quit at anytime. Although you can buy it the following month as an individual purchase without joining the club, it is at a higher price and you don't receive any of the additional benefits of Club membership. You can find out more about Spellbinders Clubs HERE.

For the background I used Distress Watercolor Cardstock and some Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment and Chroma Mist on a craft mat. I put some of each on the mat and then dip and splatter misted watercolor paper.

The stitching die was simple to put together and includes the wave edger and the sentiment dies. It's a great value.

That's it for today!

Spellbinders Spooktacular by Simon Hurley

 

Today I'm using the Spellbinders Spooktacular Collection by Simon Hurley. It's 2 diesets and 1 embossing folder. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I have a YouTube Video Tutorial below:

My first card is vellum over white cardstock and a small piece of vellum behind the white cardstock. I wanted the ghost to have a bit of sheerness and extra dimension.

The background is black cardstock embossed with the Damask embossing folder. I took a Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink pad and lightly rubbed it over the raised areas.

The sentiment Boo to You is included in the set. It's the words and shadow. I cut the shadow from vellum.

For the Bewitched cat card, the cat is pretty easy to put together. The only thing I added was a white dot on the eye with a white gel pen.

The background is black mixed media paper that I swirled Simon Hurly's Lunar Paste in Crown Me in a thin layer. After it dried I ran the paper through the same Damask embossing folder.

The Happy Halloween sentiment die and shadow die is included in this set.

That's it for today. I hope you find my YouTube video helpful! if you do please be sure to like and comment, it really matters to YouTube.

The Gingerbread House from the Candy Christmas Collection by Stamperia

 

The Candy Christmas Collection by Stamperia is all sweet treats! They have scrapbook/journaling supplies to go with the dies, I don't have them but they are very cute! You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

Today I used the Gingerbread House, Sweet Borders and the sentiments from the Gingerbread Plane and Banners. I have all these linked below. I cut all the snowy/icing pieces from a scrap of glitter foam cardstock that I purchased from Michaels many years ago. I still have the same piece I've been using for puffy snow.

The arch die is cut from Spellbinders Treasured cardstock. It's an Antique White. Everything else is from my scrap drawer, as usual.

The background is Brutus Monroe Aqua Pigment in Green that I dragged a piece of watercolor paper through. I fashioned it after one of the cards below, you can see it in the 3rd row down, 1st on the left.

These are the Color Deck Expansion Pack, which give color palette suggestions. Aren't the pretty?

That's it for today.
