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! :)

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
