Hello! My name is Jen Kotas and I’m so happy to be on the Spellbinders blog today. I’ve got three cards to share with you made using the new Precision Layering Basics Dies. What wonderful sets of basic dies to ensure straight edges and perfect measurements every time. When using the A and B sets together to make a 1/16” frame, you’ll need to die cut them separately. I found it easier to cut the smaller die first, then line up the larger one and cut. It is possible, however, to cut the larger one first.

Hello crafty friends! It’s Rachel Alvarado from RachelAlvaradoDesigns.com. I have some fun holiday-themed cards and ornaments to share with you today featuring items from the adorable new Merry Mug & Circle Delights Collection designed by Nichol Spohr. Festive Ornaments and Gift Tags I absolutely love this entire collection! These cute little ornaments/tags don’t necessarily have to be used for holidays only, but rather can be used for any time of the year depending on how you decorate them! If you don’t want to use them as an ornament, you can use them as gift tags or as stationary designs on your card fronts. To create my ornaments/tags, I die-cut my pieces using dies from the Festive Ornaments, Whimsical Winter Critters, and Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Die Sets.  I then pieced all my cute little critters together with liquid adhesive using a variety of Spellbinders Paper Art’s card stock (colors listed at the bottom of this post).  I also used a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen size 10 to add some white gel accents to give my characters more life. Gingerbread Wishes For my second project, I made an A6-sized card (4.5” x 6.25”) featuring a cute little gingerbread duo that I had die-cut using the new Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Dies.  I blended some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink onto my top panel of smooth white card stock and then layered my card background with some Waterfall Card Stock.  Prior to adding my images with some 3D foam adhesive squares, I stamped my sentiment from the Santa’s Sippin’ Sayings Clear Stamp Set with some Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I die-cut both of my gingerbread faces from some Kraft card stock and lightly blended the perimeter of my circles with some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink to add some subtle shading.  For my cheeks, I die-cut some pieces of Pink Sand Card Stock using the larger circle dies that come with Santa’s Festive Circle Crew Etched Dies instead of the smaller one. Happy Holiday Wishes from Santa For my third project, I used the Festive Ornaments Etched Die Set to die to create a simple Santa-themed A2 sized card showcasing a Santa-themed ornament sitting in some snow. For the snow area, I simply trimmed a piece of white card stock to 3.75” x 3” and used some scissors to fussy cut my snow drift.  I also added some holly and berries to the top of my ornament that I had die cut from some Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock and colored with yellow-green Copic Markers (YG01, YG05, YG17, YG67). I layered my ornament and snow on top of a 3.75” x 5” piece of Kraft Card Stock.  To finish my card, I added a few snowflakes that I had die cut from white card stock using the snowflake die that is included in the Merry Mug Creations Die Set. Merry Mugs That Warm the Heart For my final project, I created a holiday-themed card featuring the cute little mugs from the Merry Mugs Creations Etched Die Set.  I once again created an A6 (4.5”x 6.25”) standard-sized card so that I could fit two different mugs onto my card front without overlapping too much. I used a blend of teal and red Spellbinders card stock pieces to create my mugs and blended my background with some Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.  Once again, I stamped my sentiment onto my card front prior to adding my images.  All my images were added with some 3D foam adhesive tape for a pop of dimension. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and check out my projects today!  Wishing you all a lovely day!

Hello friends!  I’m excited to be back today to share a couple of projects made with the new Photosynthesis Collection by Simon Hurley from Spellbinders.  (Check out the latest release here…so much good stuff!)  This collection contains beautiful floral and bold geometric dies and Glimmer plates perfect for springtime or anytime cards.  I used the products in the collection in several ways to create six bright cards for many different occasions. FLORAL BOUQUET LOVE CARD The Floral Stems Die Set contains a whopping 23 dies that can be used to create five different types of flowers complete with multiple stem and leaf options.  I cut orange, white, green, and pink cardstocks here to build a couple of daisies and a coneflower and applied a little Distress Ink with a sponge dauber to the pieces for some contrast and shading. To create the background, I used the Zig Zag Chevron Die to just lightly emboss a piece of white cardstock (use the plate configuration for embossing a die that works for your diecutting machine) and then blended Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink over the panel for an ombre effect.  After adhering the floral bouquet in the center of the card front, I added a sentiment foiled in gold using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set as well as a few Gold Mix Gems. MODERN LILY VASE CARD You can easily use the beautiful floral stems on their own, but Simon designed a fun set of containers to hold them as well!  I added a single lily stem created with the Floral Stems Die Set and place it inside one of the six unique vases from the Ceramic Vases Die Set (you can buy both dies sets as a bundle here!). For the background, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and applied Skybright, Teal, and Cobalt Hot Foil down the lower half of the panel using the Modern Stripes Glimmer Plate Set.  Once the flower and vase were adhered to the left side of the card front with foam adhesive, I added another pretty sentiment to the top corner foiled in Cobalt Hot Foil using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set. HELLO VASES CARD With so many fun container options, I couldn't put the Ceramic Vases Die Set down yet, so I cut a few more designs out of Waterfall, Pink Sand, and Wild Berry Cardstock and added some shading with Distress Inks.  Then I cut a bunch of leaves and stems out of Rainforest and Fern Cardstock using the Floral Stems Die Set and arranged them inside the vases to look like leafy houseplants. The background was created by applying Gold Hot Foil to a piece of white cardstock using one of the plates from the Modern Stripes Glimmer Plate Set to form a tabletop.  I inked the bottom edge of the panel with a little Spun Sugar Distress Ink and the top edge with a little Salty Ocean Distress Ink for some more atmosphere.  Once the vases were adhered, I added another greeting from the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and a few Gold Mix Gems. FLORAL HUGS CARD Next I wanted to see if I could use the blooms from the Floral Stems Die Set without their long stems and still create a pretty bouquet.  I cut the daisy, mum, and lily designs out, shaded with Distress Inks, and assembled them with liquid glue.  After arranging them in a small clump :D , I added tons of the leaves for a fuller bouquet. I cut white cardstock using the Zig Zag Chevron Die and adhered it directly to a top-folding A2-sized white card base for tons of texture and added the flowers on top with foam adhesive.  To finish the card off, I applied Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and embellished with Gold Mix Gems. CHEVRON THANK YOU CARD Now let's make that Zig Zag Chevron Die the star of the show!  I cut white, Mirror Gold, Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Lagoon, Blue Spruce, and Cosmic Sky Cardstock with the die and adhered the white outline directly to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with liquid glue. I then carefully pieced a few rows of each color back into the outline (separated by a thin gold row) and left the top third of the panel all white.  The sentiment was foiled in gold using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and added with a bit of foam adhesive to the top.  I love how simple and bold this turned out! DAFFODIL WINDOW CARD Lastly, I thought the Daffodil Frame Die Set was so beautiful and wanted to create a simple and pretty hello card with it.  I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock to 4 x 5.25 and cut the daffodil insert out of the left side.  After coloring the stems with a few green markers, I pieced the leaves and flowers (cut from Rainforest, Sunkissed, and Persimmon Cardstock) on top of the window with liquid glue. The panel behind the window was created by cutting Waterfall Cardstock with the frame die from the set, embossing it with the Geo Screen Embossing Folder, and inking the bottom two-thirds with Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean Distress Ink.  After adhering the window panel over the background and onto a white card base with foam adhesive, I added another greeting foiled in teal using the Must Have Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set and embellished with a few Crystal Mix Gems.

Good Sunday morning all!   The Tethered Heart striplet has been used in a double channel style card for today's post.  To begin, I embossed a piece of coconut white card using the Art Deco Fanfare embossing folder.  I cut it into three strips (they were roughly about 1 1/2" wide strips).  I added mounting foam to the backs of all the strips. I mounted the strips on a piece of teal card, leaving a gap between each that was just slightly more narrow than the striplets.  Next I cut two of the Tethered Hearts striplets and glued them into place spanning across the channel area, just catching the edges of the striplets on to the embossed strips.  I stamped my sentiments in black Archival ink and cut it out with the Austrian tag.  I inked through the die with Peacock Feather distress ink before removing it.  I seated the tag on an oval cut from teal card.  I added the sentiment tag in the middle of the two striplets.  I completed the card with a double white mat layer.  On the inside mat, I added Cosmic Shimmer white PVA glue dots all the way around to frame the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  9" in size.
