Spellbinders "Simon's Space Adventure" and Mixed Media

 

The Starry Night 3D Emboss & Cut folder creates the dimensional stars and includes the die to cut the shaped edge. I used black mixed media paper for the embossed paper and covered it with Beluga Solar Paste and dragged an Archival Ink pad over the folder before embossing. I've used this technique several times and have some YouTube videos on it. 

The other paper I used is from Your Paper Insider Box 10. There are several sparkly papers in the box. I also used the Silver Holographic Oil Slick paper on the spaceship. This paper is so beautiful, they included envelopes using the same paper.

The video below shows what is included in Box 10:

Spellbinders "Pooh and Friends Silhouette" die

 

The fabulous 1 piece Spellbinders"Pooh and Friends Silhouette" die is cut from a piece of black glitter cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.5" x 5.5", slightly larger than A2. I wanted to have a bit of a border for the Spellbinders "Tunnel of Love" die. I wanted the Pooh & Friends to look like they were part of a dream.

The sentiment (hot foiled) is from the same "Say Cheese Classic Pooh" Collection. I know some of the sets are sold out, so if you're interested in anything, I'd act fast! You can see the entire collection and the matching Simple Stories Collection HERE.

The background is from my stash, all I remember is that it's on Distress Watercolor Paper and I used Distress Sprays and Distress Mica Spray Stains, sorry!

Blooming Butterflies Emboss & Cut



The Spellbinders Blooming Butterflies 3D Emboss & Cut Folder is part of the Vivid Expressions Collection. You can see the entire collection HERE.

This embossing folder has the floral corner, butterflies, leaves and a single flower that can be embossed and cut in one pass through your Spellbinders Platimum 6. I use the Sizzix Big Shot so the sandwich to run this through is a bit different. The easiest way I found to emboss the Spellbinders 3D embossing folders is to use the Sizzix Platform on tab 1 for embossing with the Sizzix Silicone Mat and just the top plate.






I used a sheet of 8.5" x 11" white cardstock (65 lb Recollections brand) cut in half to 5.5" x 8.5".

I rubbed Tea Dye Distress Ink over the embossing folder so the ink would be pressed into the paper for a bit of antiqued look. After the paper was embossed, I painted the flowers with Spun Sugar Distress Reinker and water. I only painted the flowers, I left everything else as is. I then placed the matching dies onto the paper and diecut all the shapes out.

I found that the Sweeping Script Sentiments (BetterPress Plates) seemed to fit right over the blooms nicely. I used some gold Glimmer hot foil with the Hello sentiment.

I then glued everything in place. I think it's an elegant card.

Layered Heart Valentine and Special Paper

 


I just love layered dies, this heart is from the "Jack of All Treades" Colleciton from Spellbinders. The theme is a deck of cards but of course, the heart can be used alone, which makes it perfect for Valentine's Day!

I just received Your Paper Insider's Box 10. Your Paper Insider is a subscription paper collection. It comes out 4x a year. This month they included lots of sparkly papers and this gorgeous "Oil Slick" envelope and a sheet of the paper. These Oil Slick papers are also available in a separate bundle! I have a link below.





The black background is embossed with Spellbinders 3D embossing folder of the month for January 2025. I love the look of this, reminds me of a chain link fence. Just subtle enough for a bit of interest but you can use metallic cardstock and it would look industrial. Very cool. 

The sentiment is a BetterPress plate called, "Ideal Sentiments".
I of course, foiled it in black. There are 2 plates in this set, a total of 24 sentiments with matching dies to cut out each one individually. Look below to see all the sentiments included. I love doing a whole block of sentiments so I have a bunch on hand.

That's it for today, thank you for visiting. Below are photos and links for everything I used for my card. If you use my link to make a purchase, I receive a small commission at no charge to you. It lets me know I should continue providing information and content!

Spellbinders Classic Pooh Say Cheese Collection

 


The Spellbinders Say Cheese Classic Pooh Collection is so cute! It's a collaboration with Simple Stories. Simple Stories has a collection of patterned papers, ephemera, stamps, etc. Perfect for memory keeping, journaling and scrapbooking. Spellbinders makes the dies that can work with this colleciton. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I made 4 cards using diesets and the BetterPress sentiments. I was originally going to make a banner but to photograph that would have difficult, so I decided to make them into cards. If you were having a baby shower or child's birthday party, this would be a cute decoration. I used the "Mirrored Arch Label" dies for the background. 

I used the dies from the sets but added additional greenery, flowers, leaves and a tree. I listed the sets I used in the Supplies Section below.

The patterned paper is from my stash, old paper from My Favorite Things, no longer available.





I also made the cards below using the gorgeous BetterPress Plates from this collction. I colored the images in using Copic markers.
