Botanical House dies - Spellbinders

Hi there everyone!  I hope everybody is staying safe and sane.  I hope you've had some time to craft and relax.  I have not had as much mojo lately, but I pulled out these Botanical House dies...and my creativity came flooding back!



I created an ink blended background with some blender brushes.  I cut my own path, and then made faux cobblestones using Copic markers.

I die cut two of everything, the house dies, the leaves.  I also made a little "floor" that I cut using the die as a template.

I cut everything out in white, and then colored with Copic markers.

Then I arranged all the greenery on the floor of the greenhouse and glued it down.  I also glued together two layers of the house just to give it more dimension.

To add some interest, I used my favorite must have Hemstitch rectangle die around the edge of the scene.

I adhered the entire piece to my background and added a sentiment and it was done!



It's a fairly simple card, but I love the results!  I can see myself pulling this die out a lot in the future!

Here is a list of what I used.  (Affiliate links used below, at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support! :)

Everyone stay safe and hopefully our world will be back to normal soon!

Modern Essentials from Spellbinders

Hello there friends!

Today I'm sharing a card that uses some new favorite "must haves" in my die and Glimmer plate collection. This new collection perfectly pairs basic shape dies with matching Glimmer plates. 

It's called Modern Essentials, and you can see them HERE.



I used three different sets from this collection and they work together seamlessly.  There are dies that cut 4 sizes of squares, and also a dotted frame detail.  There are also glimmer plates that add a pretty little foiled detail to the edge.  The Hello dies cut two words, one with texture, and one without.  



This card was inspired by a modern quilt show I recently attended.  I love the white space, and texture.  

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Peace,
Jacquie

This set has my favorite critter for Christmas cards...DEER!  (look at my last 2 posts if you don't believe me! Haha! )

I was thrilled to get a critter set this month with deer and holly and mistletoe.  Such a fun, sweet and traditional set!  This scene was created with fussy cutting the pieces and coloring with Copic markers.  I used some distress ink and made a snowy background.  I die cut a frame using my old favorite Hemstitch rectangles set.

New Holiday Cheer Collection - Spellbinders

Good morning friends!
I'm here today with a fresh batch of cards I made this weekend using some new dies from Spellbinders and Sharyn Sowell.

You can view the whole collection HERE .  




I love coloring with my markers, but you don't have to use just stamps for coloring. You can do that with dies as well!
This card uses the Shapeabilities Starry Forest die set.  


I cut all the cute critters and trees out of heavy white card stock, and colored all the pieces with my alcohol markers.  I free hand cut some snow drifts and arranged my little scene.  I finished it off with a simple foiled sentiment using the November Glimmer Hot Foil kit.  (it's a MUST HAVE for the holidays!  


Shapeabilities Starry Forrest Etched Dies Sharyn Sowell Holiday 2019 Collection is a set of five dies. With one set, you can create a sweet holiday woodland scene! Everything is included even the Christmas tree.

Sharyn Sowell Holiday 2019 Collection is full of magical silhouettes of the season. A wonderful addition to your holiday-themed etched dies and hot foil plates collection!



This card is what I call a one cut and done!  I used the beautiful Love Came Down background die.  I layered it over an ink blended piece of cardstock and it was complete!

Thanks for stopping in today to see my cards.  I have linked all my products throughout my post.  Some affiliate links may be used at no cost to you, and help support my blog.

Come back tomorrow for some more fun cards for the season!

Hey there crafty friends!  I recently had a chance to play with some fun new Hot Foil Glimmer products from Spellbinders.

You can see all the new fun items HERE .



This card features three different NEW Hot Foil sets now available from Spellbinders.  I used the Art Deco borders (so fun!) to make an angled stripe on my card.  Then I foiled up the pretty Layered flowers (and the dies are included) and colored with Copics.  I love coloring and foiling together...such a stunning effect!  I added the sentiment using the Thank You Combo foil plates.


So simple, so pretty!
