Embossing Folders, Fall Themed Cards, Spellbinders

Spellbinders Holiday Inspiration Blog Hop | Fall Cards using Distress Mediums

Happy Friday, my crafty friends! Today is the Holiday Inspiration Blog Hop for Spellbinders! We are celebrating the Holiday 2021 products, and there are a lot of fabulous crafty, new items in the shop. Today, I’m featuring the Fall Traditions products.

I created a set of cards using the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder, the Autumn Leaves Etched Dies, and the Happy Turkey Day Etched Dies.

Below you’ll see the set of cards I created using these lovely products. You’ll also find my YouTube process video, all of the Blog Hop Participant Links and links to all of the products that I used.

Giveaway:
To celebrate this event, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders Blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, August 29th 11:59 pm EDT. The winners will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. Winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes.

Card One

For my first card I used the Autumn Leaves Cutting Dies and cut them out with watercolor paper. I had so much fun coloring them in with Distress Oxide Re-Inkers. While my leaves were drying, I embossed another panel of the watercolor paper and ink blended on some Distress Oxide Inks. I cut a window out of this panel and popped it up with some foam tape.

I added a little bit of gold embossing on the edges of my leaves to add a touch of sparkle and then arranged them on the front of my card. The sentiment comes from the Fall Greetings Stamp Set.

Card Two

To color in the leaves for card two, I cut them out with more watercolor paper and sprayed them with Distress Oxide Sprays. That was such a fun, messy, lovely process. I highly recommend giving it a try. I embossed another piece of watercolor cardstock with the Fall Leaves folder, and this time I left is plain. I cut a window out of this panel and matted it with a piece of orange cardstock. I popped up this frame with foam tape and placed my leaves inside. The sentiment is, again, from the Fall Greetings Stamp Set. (This is such a fun set! All the stamps are so unique.)

Card Three

This one is my favorite of the set. I love this little turkey! I’ve been looking for a cute turkey image for awhile to make up some Thanksgiving cards, and this one fit the bill. It’s a smaller stamp set with a very good price point. I cut out the turkey pieces using some of Spellbinders Cardstock Essentials. I added a little bit of shading with some Distress Inks, and then glued them together. It was a very quick and easy process. I cut out a few ovals to create a spotlight for my turkey, and I, again, embossed a panel to put behind him using Portobello Cardstock. All my cards have a bow on them tied with Natural Burlap String–Perfect for fall time cards.

Below is my YouTube process video. I hope you enjoy it and get inspired to create some awesome fall time cards of your own!

Here is the blog hop lineup! I hope you enjoy all of the fabulous crafty inspiration. Thanks for hopping by, and have a wonderful, crafty weekend!

Easter/Spring Cards, Embossing Folders, Floral Cards, Spellbinders

Fun with Plaid | 3 Spring/Easter Cards | Spellbinders

Greetings, crafty friends. It’s officially spring, and I’m creating three more spring/Easter cards using one of the new embossing folders from Spellbinders. Each card features a different technique using the same cute plaid embossing folder. I love springtime plaid pattern paper, and with this embossing folder you can create your own.

Card 1: Simple Embossed Silver Background

On all three of these cards I’m using new cardstock from Spellbinders. I adore their new brushed silver and brushed gold cardstocks. I embossed a brushed silver panel and added some Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks over it. The eggs come from the Forever Spring Eggs Dies.

Card 2: Embossed White Frame

On card 2 I cut a rectangle from a piece of Snowdrift white cardstock, and then I embossed it. This created a cute frame for my flowers. The floral dies are from the Simply Perfect Layered Blooms set.

Card 3: Embossed Die Cut Easter Eggs

Card 3 is my favorite. I love how these eggs turned out when I embossed them with the plaid embossing folder. I then masked and blended ink over some of the stripes on the white egg to accentuate the plaid pattern. I also added ink to the pink and purple eggs before I embossed them.

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

Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a wonderful week!

Spring Cards | Techniques & Inspiration using In Love Arts Shop Products | April 2020

Hello everyone! I have a lot of fun card crafting techniques to inspire you today! I’m using more fabulous products from the In Love Arts Shop, and I created five springtime cards using them. For each card I use a different technique. I had so much fun putting these together; I hope you are inspired to try some, if not all, of these techniques!

I also have a coupon code for 15% off your purchase at the In Love Arts Shop : S5581.

Card #1: Good Times Wave Card

All that this card involves is a lot of die cutting, but I love how it turned out. This wave die cut is a lot of fun to play with! I cut out two panels at the same time and kept switching out the colors. I covered a piece of white card stock with tape runner and paper pieced it all back together.

Image7

Card #2: Layer Stamping Peony Card

Layer stamping is so much fun to do, and it’s great to have stamps like this in your stash for the days you don’t feel like coloring. I love the painterly look of these peonies. I also used a scalloped die to cut out a pretty edge to the gray card stock. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder.

Image8

Card #3: Tone-on-Tone Hello Spring Card

I love background stamps, and the delicate leaves on this one are so pretty. I had fun stamping it out several times and on several different colors of card stock. I cut them out into banners and adhered them down flat onto a kraft card stock panel. I used die cuts for my sentiment, and this card was done.

Image9

Card #4: Colored Pencil Flowers Card

I love big floral images, and I pulled out my Prismcolor pencils to color this in. I cut off two corners with the wave die and used some striped pattern paper behind it.

Prismacolor Pencils: Purple Flowers – Violet 932, Lilac 956, White 938; Flower Centers – Sunburst Yellow 917, Beige Sienna 1080; Leaves – Peacock Blue 1027, Light Aqua 992, Light Green 920; Fans – White 938, Deco Peach 1013, Electric Blue 1040, Background – Sand 940

Image10

Card #5: Leaves Embossed Birthday Card

With embossing folders you can create some very fast cards. All I did on this card is emboss it, ink blend some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink onto the panel, and add a die cut sentiment. However, I decided to add another step–I used a very sharp Prismacolor pencil to color in some of the leaves around my sentiment. I also added some translucent enamel dots and Spectrum Noir Clear Glitter Pen over my sentiment, so maybe it wasn’t that fast after all–Lol!

Prismacolor Pencil: Leaves: Apple Green 912

Spellbinders Cut & Emboss Folders | Kyoto & Lahaina

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I have some fabulous new crafty products to show you!  Spellbinders has new embossing folders in their shop! I love creating cards using embossing folders; they provide so much fun texture and dimension. However, the folders I’m using today also cut as they emboss!

CutandEmbossFolders1200x1200

The first Cut & Emboss Folder I’m using is called Kyoto, named after a city in Japan. Don’t you love the beautiful fans it embosses onto the paper? To me the look is also reminiscent of the 1920’s Art Deco era with its clean, geometric shapes.

I chose a very pale pink piece of card stock to emboss. To accentuate the design, I blended some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink across the panel with a foam blender. The raised edges pick up the ink and really bring it to life. I matted my panel with a piece of  gold mirror card stock to show off the diamond-shaped cuts.

I embossed it again with another piece of pink paper and cut out one of the fans, so I could showcase it on the front of the card. I also added a little tassel with some baker’s twine.

Kyoto Folder 1200

On my second card project I used the folder called Lahaina named after a city in Hawaii. I love all the gorgeous leaves leaves on this folder!

To create my card I used a piece of bright green card stock. I blended on more Distress Oxide Inks to bring out the texture. The colors I used are Crushed Olive, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers. I used white card stock behind this panel, and I love how brightly the white shows through.

Lahaina Embossing 1200

I didn’t create a video for my projects; however, below is a link to the video that Spellbinders produced showing all four of their new cut and emboss folders.

Thank you for visiting today! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Below are the links to all the products I used to create these cards.
