Daisy Delight

Today's card features the Spellbinders Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base die set and the
Spellbinders Sketched Floral Embossing Folder of the Month for February 2022.  I do not own any daisy dies so I couldn't wait to create using this die set.


I started by cutting two A2 sized card panels out of Kraft cardstock.  I used the included die to cut out the center out of one of these panels.  I then embossed this panel with the Spellbinders Sketched Floral embossing folder.  I cut a third A2 sized panel from bright green cardstock and used the kinetic die to cut out two shutters from this panel following the directions on the Spellbinders website.  I assembled the card following the directions from the Spellbinders website.


To decorate the front of the card, I cut two window panels from yellow cardstock and two lattice panels from white cardstock.  I glued the white lattice panels to the yellow window panels and adhered these to the front of the card.  I die cut the daisy petals out of white cardstock, centers from yellow cardstock, and stems out of a darker green cardstock.  I assembled five of the flowers and glued them to the front of the card.


For the inside of the card, I glued a daisy to each of the windows.  I cut the sentiment "Happy Birthday" and glued it to the inside windows.  The very bottom of the card looked a little plain when the card is opened to reveal the inside, so I cut a Momenta flourish border out of white cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the inside of the card.


This die set is very versatile and I can't wait to use it to create a variety of kinetic cards

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...

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 ...

#HAILTHESAIL

Today's layout was inspired by Day 1of @christys_beautiful_life 30 Days of Sketches Series 8.  Today's triangular sketch was created by Laura Whitaker.  The Scraptember challenge for this sketch was stitching.   As soon as I saw the triangle on this layout, I knew I wanted to use a sailboat to document my daughter's new student orientation day at her college by the sea.  I used my Cricut machine to cut a large sailboat out of a piece of blue whitewashed cardstock.  After losing a time-consuming battle with my sewing machine, I was able to get some blue stitches around the edges of the sailboat.  I glued the sailboat to the blue star paper from Vicki Boutin's Color Study collection.   I used the blue and white striped paper from the Color Study collection to create the large banner.  I inked the edges of the banner with Black Soot Distress ink.  I matte the banner with a small strip of the black script paper from the 6x8 paper p...
