Let me show you my third Inspiration card for November 2018...

With Christmas coming in close, I see all things that inspire me in that direction. One such thing is the color red :) To make this card I inked the red card stock in red ink using a wood grain stencil. I did added some more tones of red with darker on edges and lighter towards the center to make it glow. I stamped, fuzzy cut and colored the image in Sharpie and Spectrum Noir markers and adhered it with some dimension. I have used these products Kathryn and Christmas, Artplorations Weathered Wood stencil.

STAMPlorations Spotlight - Add color but differently!

Hello friends! I am up with a spotlight project over at the STAMPlorations blog. I hope I will be able to inspire you. Today again, I am playing with the newest stamp club set "Bloom Doodles" and for this one I decided to add color to my design a bit differently for a modern and trendy look. Looking at these beautiful images, the obvious choice is to color them but I decided to challenge myself and get creative. I was looking into some distress mini ink cubes to decide for my color scheme, when this idea hit me :) Let me show you...

I have used  "Bloom Doodles" , Hello You and Trendy Spring Bloom dies

Spellbinders - Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Club Kit

Hello friends! Did you hear Spellbinders have the added a new Club Kit of the month "Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month" This month's Christmas Village Vignette Frame Die Set is perfect for making holiday themed cards, scrapbook pages, and more. 

I am so happy to share some of the projects I made using this kit. The dies are awesome and cut beautifully. I also love the little dies included to build an entire scene. For my cards, I made two sets one with traditional Christmas colors and another with more muted/ soft tones :) I had so much fun and this definitely added to my Holiday card making collection :)

Let me show what I created...

For this set, I cut out card base to match the frames :) I went with red and cream shades of card stock to cut all the layers. To add some more interest, I added a layer of patterned paper in similar color tones :)

Here is a closeup and a closeup into each card...

I was so fascinated by these dies that I decided to create one more set :)

Now my second of cards... I followed the same process of layering, only here I layered them on a card base. I like these muted tones... kind of reminds me of snow :)

A lots of layering and interchanged colors for the two designs :) Here are a few more clicks...

I had fun creating, hope you like these :)

This is the kit I used and you can find all the details about it HERE.

Spellbinders and Fun Stampers Journey!

Here's some awesome news !!Fun Stampers Journey and Spellbinders are coming together as of today, November 1st 2018! You can now shop for awesome FSJ products at Spellbinders, HERE. I am super excited to be able to play along with the awesome stamps from FSJ.

Here are 4 fun facts about FSJ products -

• FSJ stamps are made in the USA of deeply etched red rubber for a perfect impression every time.
• Our thin metal dies are made of steel to give you clean cuts time and time again, without warping or dulling. And, they’re coated in FSJ green so they're easy to find!
• We offer over 50 exclusive colors – matching cardstock, ink, ribbon and accessories makes creating easy!
• Over 50% of our stamps have coordinating dies – no more fussy cutting!

I made a fun one layer card incorporating lovely fall colors :) The stamps I used are Pumpkin Kisses Stamp Set and Bountiful Thanks Stamp Set and I accented it with the leaf die from Spellbinders October Card kit of the month.

To make this card, I took a fog card stock. I stamped the pumpkins and flowers in the inks that I wanted to color those in. I stamped the sentiment in brown ink. I stamped all the other foliage. I then colored the flowers and pumpkins in Prismacolor pencils. I die cut some of the leaves in rust color card stock and accented the card with those.

Here is a closeup...

I so love the font of that sentiment :)

I had so much fun palying with the new goodies. Don't forget to check @teamspellbinders and @fsjourney on Instagram for more inspiration :) Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)
