Easter/Spring Cards, Slimline Cards, Spellbinders

Expressions of Spring Easter Slimline Card

Here in Chicagoland there is a severe winter storm warning today, and I’m dreaming of spring. I created a Happy Easter card with a couple of new releases from Spellbinders.

I have the Expressions of Spring Sentiments and the Forever Spring Eggs Etched Dies. Small sets with great price points and so lovely!

This slimline card is 3 1/2 by 8 1/2. I used some Fun Stamper’s Journey cardstock to cut out the eggs–Rustic Rose and Lavender Fusion. Then I used the egg outline die to cut them out as well as some glitter paper to back them. I used a piece of Banana Cream cardstock behind my eggs and cut out a trellis using the Stacked Decorative Edge Die from a previous small die of the month kit. It was meant for smaller cards, but I was able to make it work on a slimline by cutting it out once, shifting it upward and cutting it out again.

Behind my Banana Cream panel I blended on some Victorian Velvet and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide inks. I glued everything down flat onto the card.

It was very simple and fun to put together! I’m going to make many more Easter cards with these die sets. Here is my YouTube video. You can watch it here or over at my YouTube channel in HD.

Thank you for visiting! Have a lovely day!

Card Kits, Not 2 Shabby

10 Cards, 5 Sketches | Not 2 Shabby Shop Valentine’s Day Box

The Not 2 Shabby Shop has something really special in the shop–a Valentine’s Day Box. It’s filled with three new stamp sets, die cut shapes, stickers, bling, and two paper pads! You can make up lots of Valentine’s Day cards with this kit; however, the stamp sets and everything inside the kit can be used for all kinds of occasions. I created 10 cards with this kit, and I still have tons of left-overs.

To create these cards I used 5 different card sketches. Lately, I’ve been having fun using card sketches for inspiration. I created 2 cards with each set. I love having card sets to give away as gifts.

Popping Poppies Cards using Colored Pencil, Copics & Kraft Cardstock | Scrappy Tails Crafts

Hello! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend! I’m so excited about Scrappy Tails Crafts latest release, and I get to show you a few of the new products. These stamps and dies include products for Valentine’s Day, spring, and Easter, but you could really use them all year round.

For today’s cards I used a gorgeous stamp set called Popping Poppies. I love floral stamp sets! This one has beautifully drawn poppies with cute sentiments such as “Popping by to Say Hi,” “You Make Life Pop,” and You Popped in My Mind.”

Card #1: Poppy Heart Landscape Card

The large heart with poppies image fills up your A2 size card. I colored it in with Prismacolor pencils on kraft cardstock.

Prismacolor Pencils:

Flowers: Poppy Red, Raspberry, White, Dark Umber, Canary Yellow

Leaves: Chartreuse, Spring Green, Apple Green, Dark Green

Outside the Heart: French Grey 90%, French Grey 50%

Inside the Heart: Poppy Red, Pink

Card #2: Poppies on a Trellis Top-Folding Card

I stamped out the single poppies onto white cardstock and colored them in with Copic markers. I used one of the dies from the Basket Pop Up Card Dies to cut out the trellis for my poppies to climb up. I also used the Slimline Everyday Border Dies to cut out grass to put under them.

Copics:

Flowers – YR21, YR68, YR07, E23

Leaves – YG63, G46, YG61

Here is my process video. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

Spellbinders, Valentine's Day Cards

Sending Love Valentine’s Day Card | Spellbinders Clear Stamp of the Month Club

It’s time to start creating those Valentine’s Day cards! Spellbinders’ new clear stamp for January includes 6 different hearts–two of which have sentiments inside them–and a Happy Valentine’s Day sentiment stamp. This is a new club kit for Spellbinders, and the stamps are high quality photopolymer. I had so much fun playing with this set!

The technique I used to create this card involves stamping with both sides of the stamp. I stamped out the flat side of the stamp several times with different colors of Distress Oxide Inks. And then I stamped over the hearts using the right side of the stamp. I’m calling this technique “Double-Sided Stamping.”

I’m also using one of the new card panels and envelopes from Spellbinders. This is a cream colored card base, and it’s 5.25 x 5.25. Lately I’m having fun creating cards using different card sized than my usual A2 size cards. Spellbinders has a lot of different sizes of card bases in white and cream, and the price point is fabulous!

The Distress Oxides I used are Candied Apple, Wilted Violet, Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass, and Dried Marigold. I stamped the red heart first in the center because I knew I wanted to stamp the sentiment on this heart. Once I finished stamping the heart with these inks, I dried the panel with my heat tool.

Next, I stamped the decorative hearts over the Distress Ink using VersaFine Onyx black ink. This is a pigment ink and stays wet and sticky long enough to allow me to pour over clear embossing powder. After I melt the embossing powders, the lines of the stamped images are shiny and dimensional.

Here is my process video. You can watch it here or over on my YouTube channel in HD.

I hope you all have fun creating your Valentine’s Day cards! Take care!
