Spellbinders - Handmade Collection by Stephanie Low

Hello friends! I am back to share some more projects I created using the goodies sent by  Spellbinders from their Handmade Collection by Stephanie Low. I am showcasing the HAPPINESS HANDMADE  and VINTAGE BUTTONS HANDMADE BY STEPHANIE LOW STAMP AND DIE SET

I had so much fun making with these, I have a fun variety of cards to share with you from both these sets. Let me show you...

For my very first card, I stamped fuzzy cut and colored the gift boxes. For the background, I water colored the panel and used a stencil (STAMPlorations Stained Glass), sprayed it with water, placed it on dried water colored panel for a stencil pick up technique. I added a splatter of gold and embossed the sentiment in gold. Adhered the gift boxed with dimension and layered it over a striped patterned paper.

For this one, I distress inked a panel then stamped the pattern with tone on tone ink. To add more texturing, I also did water stamping on the inked panel. Then I stamped, die cut the sentiments. Stamped colored the image and adhered all the pieces together :)

For my card three from this set, I kept it simple by stamping the image to build a background and then adding a colored die cut image ad my focal. This gorgeous image need to shine... right!!

The next two cards are from the Vintage Buttons set.

For the first one, I did stamping of the button images creating a rainbow background and then added some stamped and die cut images on top for dimension. Sentiment is from sticker alphabets  (from Echo Park Paper - Homemade collection)

Lastly, for this card... I took a watercolor card stock and gold heat embossed the buttons along the lower edge. I then water colored it using the wet on wet technique. Once the panel was dry, I added more textured look by doing ink smooshing technique with Distress inks on top of washed panel. To finish I added the sticker sentiment (from Echo Park Paper - Homemade collection)

Spellbinders - Special Moments by Marisa Job

Hello friends! I am back with one more creation made using the goodies sent by  Spellbinders from their Special Moments by Marisa Job. Today I am showcasing the SHAPEABILITIES FLOWER BACKGROUND ETCHED DIES  and  SHAPEABILITIES FLORAL OVAL ETCHED DIES

I have one more elegant card using these fabulous dies :) Let me show you...

 All intricate dies call for use of metallic shades. I usually go for gold but then this time I decided to go different with copper :) and combined it with this lovely shade of blue.

 The design is pretty simple, die cutting and arranging it all on the base panel. I so loved working with these dies. My collection of cards was lacking in some elegant designs. Now no more :D

To finish I did some copper splatter (using Twinkling H2O) and added sticker sentiments (from Echo Park Paper - Homemade collection)

The Spellbinders Die, I used  SHAPEABILITIES FLOWER BACKGROUND ETCHED DIES
and  SHAPEABILITIES FLORAL OVAL ETCHED DIES

I hope you enjoyed my creation, you can find this set HERE. Thank you Spellbinders for sharing these goodies with me. I will be back with some more Spellbinder goodness in a few days!

Spellbinders - Special Moments by Marisa Job

Hello friends! I am back with a couple more creations made using the goodies sent by  Spellbinders from their Special Moments by Marisa Job. Today I am showcasing the SHAPEABILITIES FLOWER BACKGROUND ETCHED DIES  

This background die was calling for something happy, so that's what I created :)

Let me show you...

For me all things happy start with happy colors. So I picked up yellow and blue card stock. I die cut the background die in yellow and grey card stock. I then cut out the lower half of grey piece and adhered it to blue panel.

I then inlaid the yellow cut out petals into the spaces. To finish, I added white pearls and heat embossed the sentiment :) ( from STAMPlorations Happy Everything set

For my second card, I went with a simple yet trendy and modern look...

To make this I used the top of the die cut yellow panel and cut out another blue panel and layered one over the other offsetting a bit to add dimension. To finish I adhered these on patterned paper and added sticker sentiments (from Fancy Pants)

The Spellbinders Die, I used  SHAPEABILITIES FLOWER BACKGROUND ETCHED DIES

I hope you enjoyed my creation, you can find this set HERE. Thank you Spellbinders for sharing these goodies with me. I will be back with another card I made using a combination of this set and the previous one.

Hello friends! I am super excited to be playing with some goodies sent by  Spellbinders from their Special Moments by Marisa Job. Today again, I am showcasing the SHAPEABILITIES FLORAL OVAL ETCHED DIES .

I will be sharing  a couple of cards using these dies. This time I used them in different ways...

For my first card, I went again with the elegant look, only this time I wanted to use the floral die to give a lacy look :) Let me show you...

I die cut the floral die multiple times from a beige card stock and layered it over brown textured patterned paper.

To add some detail I die cut the flowers in soft pink and adhered those in a few places. To finish I added sequins and sentiment sticker :)

My second card , is a bright and happy card, great for summer time :)

To make this card, I die cut the floral dies in different color card stocks and layered them on patterned paper, the way you see it.

This was quick and easy, fun to make bright and happy card :) To finish I added some twine, clothespin and sentiment sticker. Patterned paper and sticker is from Fancy pants something I have been hoarding :D

Hello friends! I am super excited to be playing with some goodies sent by  Spellbinders from their Special Moments by Marisa Job. I am showcasing the SHAPEABILITIES FLORAL OVAL ETCHED DIES to begin with.

I will be sharing a few more cards I made using this set in different posts. To begin with I have my very first card. I made an elegant design as this die was calling for that :)

Let me show you...

To make this card, I die cut the oval frame and the delicate twig in kraft card stock. I paired the neutral with a purple card stock and cut out the floral in purple color.

I also used some Delicata Gold ink to add a touch of gold on the flower petals. I layered these over the kraft floral die cut. Added some dull gold sequins as floral centers. To finish I added it all with some foam adhesive, gold embossed the sentiment and added a purple stripe at the base.The sentiment used is from STAMPlorations Birds and the Blooms set

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Kit - August 2018

Hello friends! I am super excited to be playing with some new goodies from Spellbinders. I am showcasing their newest Large Die of the Month Kit

I was inspired by Fabulous Yana Smakula to make a set of cards, something that she always does and also by the fact that the dies in this kit would make of a lovely set of wedding. congratulations cards.

Let me show you the set...

To make these cards, I worked with two colors of card stock, one black and the other beige. I die cut these in and arranged them in a variety of ways. On some I also used black fun foam to add dimension. To add finishing touches I added pearls and stamped the sentiments.

 Here is a closeup of each card...

For this card, I die cut the design thrice and layered it on foam sheet. Then adhered each of these on the base panel.

 I did the same here too. Only the base panel here is black.

For this card I die cut the design once on paper and second time using fun foam. I layered the paper on foam sheet and cut it in half and then arranged it the way you see it here. For sentiment I used STAMPlorations Little love Birthday Wishes

 For the above card, I die cut the die twice in black and adhered it along the edge, cutting the excess out. Then added some pearls.

I did the same thing in this one as the previous only I changes the design layout. All the sentiments used are from STAMPlorations Birds and the Blooms set

Here is the final set one more time :)

I hope you enjoyed my creations, you can find this kit HERE. Thank you Spellbinders for sharing these goodies with me
