Spellbinders Tassel Flower

Today I'm using the Tassel Flower from the Spellbinders Serenity Garden Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. You can see the entire collection by clicking HERE.

This one was pretty simple, I just cut the pieces from colored cardstock. I like to use 65 lb cardstock for these flowers, easier to shape without leaving bend marks. Mine is from Michael's, their Recollections brand.

This collection was introduced last month but I had to pull out this set again because it's my favorite. I always watch Susan's videos on how to put together the flowers and then do my own thing with what I have. You can find Susan Tierney-Cockburn's videos on the Spellbinders YouTube channel.

I use a shaping kit to give dimension to my flowers. The stylus and reverse tweezers shape the flowers. I use a Sizzix kit, the Spellbinders kit isn't available anymore, but I did see that Altenew has one as well.

The embossing folder is from a previous release, I'll list it under supplies, below. I like the tiny Happy Birthday sentiment. It's from a Press + Foil kit of the month, I gold hotfoiled it. The yellow center is some yellow fluff I've had for a million years, no longer available but I linked the one that is on the Spellbinders site.

I made a YouTube video on how I made some previous projects using this die, you can see that HERE:

Another Card Using Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

Today I'm using the July 2026 Small Die of the Month again. I liked the first card I made but decided to make a funny scene today. Here it is in a video so you can see the penguin spin.

This time I used an embossing folder from a few months ago, Streamline. It looks like the tracks skis make down a mountain, perfect with this dieset.

I made one skiier a snow patrol, going to save the other penguin. I cut his body from red cardstock and handcut the +. LOL. I added white pompoms for their hats, These are from Michaels.

The spinner is easy to attach to a card using glue dots. They make the penguin spin.

Here's the first card I made, so fun. You can read about it HERE.

The kit includes 2 dies that cut the edge of the paper to make it look like hills. You can see below all the pieces and how that fit together. The die kit is hardly "Small" and at $17.50, (only until July 27) a bargain. Remember, if you join the club you can cancel at ANY time! If you wait until next month when the kit may be available for individual purchase, it goes up to $27! Plus you don't get all the Club member benefits/discounts, etc.

Pastel Poppystamps Nordic Daydream

Today I'm using a collection I've used a few times before, I adore the images. If you want to see more cards I made with this collection, I have a few more on my blog. The diesets are from the Poppystamps Nordic Daydream Colleciton. You can click HERE to see it.

For the background panel, I used a piece of paper I had inked in Distress Oxide on my gel plate. I love the look, it's 3 of my favorite Distress Oxide colors, Spun Sugar, Scattered Straw and Salvaged Patina. I drag each of these colors onto the gel plate then use a brayer to lightly blend the colors before pressing my cardstock into it.

I took the script stamp from the Tim Holtz Dearly Departed stamp set and randomly stamped the paper with 2nd generation inking.
