Spellbinders Painted Daisy

The sixth and final flower from the Spellbinders "Through the Meadow" Collection, called "Painted Daisy".

The flower is cut from Hammermill cardstock. It's a larger flower cut 2x, layered with a smaller flower cut 2x. I used Copic markers to color the petals. I used the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Shaping Kit to give dimension to my flowers. The center is cut from brown cardstock and after shaping and gluing to the flower, I used some Liquid Pearls to dot the centers. This little detail made the flower come to life. The lady bug die is included in this set. I shaped it and put some Glossy Accents on it.

After attaching the leaves, the card looked a bit empty so I added a "Black Alder" branch and leaf. The sentiment is from this same collection, I used ink and the BetterPress plate.

For the background, I used Distress Ink in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo and Picked Raspberry. I embossed it with the Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder of the Month.

Simon Says Stamp "Eggstra Special" Slider Card

The new release from Simon Says Stamp is called, "Favorite Things", you can see the entire collection HERE.

I received the cutest stamp set called "Eggstra Special". The set has 2 large Easter sentiment stamps, some smaller sentiments, and a bunch of cute chicks and eggs.

I made a video tutorial for the slider card:

Interactive cards are so much fun and this one is pretty easy to make. I hope you watch the video because it would seem difficult to explain, easier to see it being made. I originally saw this card on a YouTube channel called Dawn's Stamping Thoughts, you can see it HERE. I changed the dimensions because I wanted a A2 size card, 4.25" x 5.5". The original card was 4" x 5.5".

Here is what you need:

4" x 5" white cardstock (I used 110 lb)

3/4" x 3 1/4" white cardstock for the tab

Another piece of white cardstock for whatever die you want to use, I used an oval.

4" x 5 1/4" patterned paper

5 1/2" x 9" colored cardstock, scored at 4 1/4" and 8 1/2"

Adhesive Foam Dot

Stamping Ink

Markers to color in the stamps

Adhesive

Spellbinders Through the Meadow Bouquet

My third card using the Spellbinders Through the Meadow dies by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. I used 3 of the dieets and the 3D embossing folder, suppplies are listed below.

This card was a labor of love. I really enjoy making these 3D flowers, they take a bit of time but I just watched a movie while shaping and gluing the pieces.

I used colored cardstock from my scraps, a bit easier than starting with white paper and coloring all the pieces. I just added some shading with Copic markers.

I watched Susan Tierney-Cockburn's YT video on how to shape the flowers, you can see that on the Spellbinders channel. For the centers of the flowers I added gold Stickles for a bit of dimension, and on the pink flower I used some yellow fluff for the stamen. I don't have a link for this, the one I used is very old and the company no longer sells it but Spellbinders sells the one Susan Tierney-Cockburn uses, I'll list it below.

The supplies I used are listed below with direct links to the stores that sell them. If you use my link, I receive a small commission and it lets these stores know you find my content useful.

Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock Collection

How fun is this? Spellbinders introduced their new collection of colored cardstock this month. The full 48 ColorWheel Collection. It also includes the dies to make the Petal shaped swatches.

I received a small sample of each of the 48 colors and the dies to cut the swatches. Hard choices had to be made because I didn't have enough to cut the large petal swatch and some flowers for the cards. So I cut the large petal out of regular white cardstock and then cut smaller swatches to glue on top. I still had enough paper left to cut some flowers. Side note: There are also stamps available with each of the color names so you can stamp your swatches you can see that HERE.

I did something I rarely do, I made the same card 4x but used different color families. It looked pretty good and ended up with a pretty set of cards. Note, for the background on the card, I didn't have enough cardstock in the new colors so I had to use some cardstock from my scrap stash.

Spellbinders has put together some assorted packs in addition to single color packs. These have been very popular, so if you are interested in the assorted packs, I'd hurry and buy them if you see them in stock. I'll link where you can find them in my supply list below. I know they will be in and out of stock, so I'll list the 3 places I know carry it for alternatives.

Spellbinders On The Farm

The Spellbinders "On the Farm" is so cute, animal diesets and matching sentiment stamps all in one. Look below under my supplies to see the punny sentiments. You can see the entire collection HERE.

I used 3 of the animal diesets and the pretty landscape edger dies for today's card.The sentiment stamps all use puns to go with the animals. I put each stamped sentiment into speech bubbles. The speech bubbles are from the "Just Sayin" Collection.

For the background, I used lots of Distress Inks on Mixed Media paper. I ink blended and spritzed the dirt and grass and just ink blended the sky. It adds a bit of texture to the card since the animals are simple diecuts. I used the "Landscape Edger" dies to shape the hills and grass.

Supplies are listed below with affiliate links. If you use my links to make a purchase I receive a small commission. It lets me know you find my content useful. Thank you!
