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...

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...
