Sending Love

Today's gift card envelope floral card features the Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms die set and Essentials Glimmer Sentiments hot foil plates.  This is beautiful die set full of different types of flowers and foliage, and I could not wait to use it.  I also love the new Glimmer sentiments which I used on the inside of the card.


I created the card panel by cutting an A2 sized piece of gray cardstock.  I applied VersaMark ink to the Momenta Wood Grain clear stamp.  I stamped this onto the gray cardstock panel and embossed it with white embossing powder.  Such a beautiful stamp!

Next, I used the We R Memory Keepers envelope punch board to create an envelope that would hold a gift card.  Using liquid glue, I adhered the envelope at a slight angle onto the card panel.

I used the Be Bold Blooms die set and cut out several different flowers from scraps of textured cardstock.  I arranged the flowers onto the flap and front of the envelope.  I used bright pink hot foil to foil the sentiment "Sending Love" onto a small strip of gray cardstock.  I glued this to the front of the envelope. All that was left for the front of the card was to place a gift card in the envelope for the recipient. 


For the inside of the card, I used a nested border die from Momenta to cut a shape out of gray cardstock.  Using the same bright pink foil, I foiled the sentiment "Love Always From All of Us" in the center of the shape.  I embellished the shape with additional flowers from the Be Bold Blooms die set.


I love the combination of the gray and white wood grained background panel with the beautiful spring florals.  The recipient will love receiving the card and will be surprised by the extra little gift tucked inside the envelope.


Sending Love

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 embossed panel and adhered it at an an

Pumpkin Picking

Today's fun Halloween card features the Tim Holtz Colorize Pumpkinhead Colorize die set and Distress Mica Stains. I started by spraying a water color panel with Hocus Pocus, Jack-O-Lantern, and Empty Tomb Halloween Distress Mica Stains.  For the moon, I die cut a circle out of water color paper. I ink smooshed Antique Linen and Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Inks onto a craft mat and sprayed them with water.  I pushed the circle into the inks and dabbed off the excess ink and water with a paper towel.  I inked the edges of the moon with Black Soot Distress Oxide Ink.  I adhered the moon to the water color panel and added a black bat to the top of the moon. Next, I die cut several trees, bats, and fences out of black cardstock.  I also die cut a couple of fences from silver foil cardstock.  I adhered the trees to both sides of the card panel.  I slightly offset the silver foiled fence from the black fence and adhered the fence pieces to the bottom of the card.  I used a variety of ca

Hello Spring 2022

I love making spring cards.  I get so excited to mix and match the many die sets I have accumulated throughout the year.  Today's cards feature die cut shapes from a variety of die sets.  I created both a vertical and horizontal card layout, changing out the focal image on each of the cards. I started by cutting one of the Sizzix Creative Background dies from the side of a white card panel.  I trimmed a little off each edge and layered it onto a pink cardstock panel.  I cut some grass from light green cardstock using the the grass die from the Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die of the Month Set.  Using the same die set, I cut the sentiment "Hello Spring" from lavender cardstock. You can't have a spring card without lots of flowers, so I scavenged through my scraps of paper to find colors that would coordinate well together.  I used multiple Sizzix Thinlits die sets to cut flowers, foliage, and branches from the scraps of colored cardstock.  I also used a Momenta dies s
