SPELLBINDERS - Zenspired Holidays by Joanne Fink

Hello friends! I am back with the newest Spellbinders - Zenspired Holidays by Joanne Fink collection. These stamps and die sets are just gorgeous. You can color those intricacies or leave them as is... they will look gorgeous anyway! Today I am showcasing two sets from Joanne Fink collection the Holly Bells Stamp and Die Set and Christmas Joy Stamp and Die Set 

Let me show you the cards, I created...

These jingle bells are so beautiful, I had to make them the focal image of my card. So to make them shine, I simply stamped and colored them and adhered them with some dimension on a Distress inked panel with a splatter of pearl white :)

No Christmas card making complete without the traditional colors. So for my second card. I stamped colored and die cut the Holly and the bells and layered them on corrugated paper and patterned paper. Corrugated paper is from Spellbinders too :)

Here are the next set of cards using the other set... I went over the board and made four cards :)

For this one I stamped and pencils colored the Christmas tree. I inked the panel in Distress inks, masking the lower edge with torn masking paper to create the illusion of snow and did some splatter for snowfall :) To finish I adhered the die cut tree on top of the panel.

Those of you who know me, know that I have lately been addicted to grey. So here's another grey card with a pop of reddish pink. For this one I stamped the image with white ink on grey card stock. I die cut it and scored the base panel. I colored the image, layered it on die cut fun foam piece and adhered it back . To finish I added white splatter.

And now back to traditional colors. Stamped die cut and colored the image and layered it on patterned paper :) 

With all the reds and pinks in my collection, I decided to bring is some blue. I stamped and selectively colored the image, die cut it. Next I adhered a patterned paper of card base and layered a oval die cut panel on top. to finish I added the tree and the sentiment :)

I had so much fun creating these :)

These are the products, I used  Holly Bells Stamp and Die Set and Christmas Joy Stamp and Die Set  along with some patterned papers and Spellbinders classic Ovals die set. All the coloring was done using Prismacolor pencils :)

A Tribute to Melissa Lane

Life can be so unpredictable! We lost a great friend, a fabulous paper crafter and a great human being. Today we at STAMPlorations are celebrating life of this amazing lady "Melissa Lane" Although I haven't know her much but for whatever time I knew her she made an impact on me. I miss her.

She was very inspiring and kind :) I wish her family all the strength to deal with this loss.

Melissa had a love for butterflies and that inspired us all to make cards using butterflies. I hope she will love it! Here is my card Melissa and her family.

Prayers for her family! May her soul rest in peace.

SPELLBINDERS Card Kit of the Month - October 2018

Hello friends! I have been fortunate enough to be playing along with some amazing  Spellbinders products. Like the last month, I get to play with their newest card kit "October 2018 Card Kit of the Month", and share my creations with you. The theme for this kit is watercolor and all the products included in the kit follow the theme. You can find all the details about this fabulous club kit HERE

This kit comes with loads of products that you can combine to create quick, fun and fantastic cards. This kit includes card stock, 6x6 Paper pad, Epoxy stickers, a collection of stickers, Dies, Stamp set, Die cut shapes and a lot of embellishments. I have made quite a few cards... 

Let me show you what I made

For my very first card, I took the inspiration from the colors on the patterned paper included in this kit. I made this the base for my card design. Stamped and fuzzy cut all the images from the stamp set and arranged it on the card with some dimension :)

The dies included in the kit are so adorable. I decided to make this sweet little pink and white house. This involves pure die cutting and the arranging it :) The background is again the patterned paper from the kit. I think it makes for a perfect sky :)

The rest of my 5 cards are basically a combination of patterned papers and die cut shapes again included in the kit.

For this one I made together as the focal and built around it by adding various die cut floral shapes :)

For this card, I simply adhered these flowers on a blue background and used three sentiment stripes included to make layered sentiments. 

Who doesn't love the Mason jar??!!! So I had to include it too. Again I simple picked a combinations of gorgeous patterned papers to make my base and used the die cut shape for the floral mason jar, For the sentiment I added the transparent sentiment on top of the mason jar :)

Blue Flamingo!! I had to incorporate this one :) again I used patterned paper to make my base. Added the Hello tag with a twine and rest of the die cut shapes. To finish I added the beautiful sentiment sticker :)

For this one I got the idea of combining die cut circle sentiments with the circle patterned paper :) Its a pure delight to see how quickly these cards come through :)

All the cards are made using the products included in the kit, nothing from outside :) . I think this is an amazing kit that gives you a lot of possibilities. 

Hope you enjoyed my creations. You can find all the details HERE

Thank you Spellbinders for having me create with your amazing products :)
