Spellbinders Club Kit Valentine's Day Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders January Small Die of the Month and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kits. I couldn't wait to combine these two kits to create some Valentine cards.

I used the dies from the Small Die of the Month kit to cut several pieces from pink and white cardstock as well as red and gold foil cardstock. I used the Glimmer Hot Foil sentiment glimmer plates to glimmer several sentiments in red and gold foil onto white cardstock. For each card, I glued the decorative frame to a white card base. I added the smaller die cut panel to the decorative frame.

For the shaker cards, I die cut the large frame out of white cardstock and trimmed off the decorative edges. I adhered one of the smaller foil die-cut panels to this piece. I trimmed down the edges some more leaving a small border around the inner panel. I used the included heart die-cut to cut out a heart from the center of this white cardstock panel just inside the heart that was already cut out from the foil cardstock panel. I glued a piece of acetate to the back of this panel. I added some small heart sequence to the card base and adhered the front panel to the card base using foam tape. I glued the sentiment across the bottom of the heart.

For the "I Adore You" card, I used the included flower and leaf dies to create a flower that was glued to the bottom right of the decorative heart die cut. I added a small adhesive rhinestone to the center of the flower. I glued this die-cut to a red foil cardstock heart and popped this up from the center of the smaller die-cut panel using foam tape. I glued the sentiment underneath the heart.

The last card was the simplest. I layered the red and gold foil cardstock die-cut pieces and glued the sentiment in the center of the heart.

I love the intricate die-cut frames and heart from these two kits. There are so many ways to mix and match the sets to get a variety of different cards.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One, a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday. I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors. I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper. I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space. I backed the black card panel with th...

Hero Arts Citrus Cards

Today I had fun playing with the Hero Arts Fresh Citrus Bold Prints background stamp and the Hero Arts Zest Wishes Stamp Set to create these fun and fresh set of cards. I started by creating the backgrounds. I used white cardstock and stamped it with the background stamp using VersaMark Ink. I heat embossed the panels with white embossing powder. Then, I used a foam blending tool and blended Scattered Straw, Squeezed Lemonade, and Twisted Citron Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks to ink the card panels. For some panels, I used only one ink and other panels I used a combination of all the inks. I cut the inked backgrounds down to 4" x 5.25" and matte each panel on a black card base. For one card, I used the excess strips from when I cut down the inked panels, and adhered these strips to a black card panel, leaving a little of the black background showing in between each of the strips. I stamped all the citrus fruits, leaves, flowers, and branches on w...

Tim Holtz Spencer Halloween Card

I can't get enough of Tim Holtz's Colorize Spencer die set. The detail and dimension of this image is absolutely amazing. Today's card features Spencer, 3-D embossing folders, and a few other Tim Holtz Halloween dies sets. The main card panel was made by embossing a piece of silver foil cardstock using the Sizzix 3-D Textured Impressions Pinwheel embossing folder. I watered down a few drops of black acrylic paint and used a paint brush to brush the paint onto the embossed panel. I let the paint dry for about a minute and then took a paper towel to rub off the excess paint. I adhered this panel to a black card base. The smaller card panel was made by embossing a piece of black cardstock with the Tim Holtz Sizzix 3-D Texture Fades Mini Cobblestone embossing folder. I added a few drops of Sterling Distress Foundry Wax to a craft mat and used my finger to apply the Foundry Wax to the embossed panel. I added a black matte behind this emboss...
