I purchased this stamp-making foam quite a while ago on the recommendation of a friend. I pulled it out the other day to see what I could do with it. I started out using the real thin sheet and cut some flower shapes with a Spellbinders’ die. That was easy and fun. I could see…

I had the privilege today try out a new die set from Spellbinders. When put together, it makes a little 3D retro television card!

This tutorial is a long time coming! About two years ago, Becca Feeken at Spellbinders came out with these great Vignette dies where you die cut different layers of a scene and put them all together with a structure that you also die cut. These things BLEW MY MIND! I couldn't wait to get some of these dies. Everyone else felt the same way. These dies sold out very quickly! By the time I got to the website with my credit card, they were gone! I had no way of making an adorable vignette that would fold up, go in an envelope, and bring not only my good wishes but "ooos" and "ahhhhhs" from the recipient. Or did I? That's when I invented this card. But unfortunately, my life was so busy at that point (sole caregiver to my mother, who has dementia) that I didn't have time to make a tutorial. But now I do, and so here we go! Because I wanted this to be a springtime card, I chose to use a base of Stampin' Up's Mint Macaroon cardstock. I cut one piece of cardstock at 11" X 5-12," and cut another piece of cardstock into four pieces, each 4-1/4" X 5-1/2". If you want to make it easy on yourself, MAKE SURE THE 4-1/4" MEASUREMENTS MATCH! Each of those four pieces should be EXACTLY the same width. Stack them on top of each other, and if they are not EXACTLY the same width, trim them so they are. I sound like someone who didn't do this earlier, don't I? Mmmmhmmmm. Score the big piece of cardstock right down the middle at 5-1/2", and score each of the smaller pieces at 1/2" on both long edges (see diagram below). Remember: When you score cardstock, fold AWAY from the indentation, not with it. I know it's counter-intuitive, but if you fold away from the indented score line on the big piece, it's going to make one of the instructions further down make sense. Michelle Wright explains it well here. I bought these dies from Poppystamps specifically to create this technique. If you do not have these dies, you can use any nesting dies you have. You can use dies that are the same size for that matter. If you don't have dies at all, you can cut a tunnel in your cardstock with a paper trimmer or scissors. Heck, it's just paper! Play around with it! Here is the same cardstock after I die cut. (Okay, some of you have noticed that there are two right-side score lines on the bottom right-hand panel. I initially scored the wrong indentation. Whoops! That's why I designated this panel to be in the back. No one will notice.) I colored directly onto the trees and branches with the brush tip of a Copic W5 marker and airbrushed with some yellow-green Copics. I used the lightest marker for what's going to be the front panel and went gradually darker. However, I don't think that was necessary because you can always change how light or dark you go by airbrushing lighter or darker. (Eventually, I end up adding more color anyway, but at this point in the process, I didn't know I was going to do that yet.) Cut a contrasting panel (mine is yellow) at 5" X 3". This is going to go at the back of the tunnel, so I used a really bright panel. Then, after placing the tree panel with the smallest opening over top of the 3X5 panel so I would know where to stamp, I stamped the word "Spring." I also smeared some glue at the bottom and covered it with Flower Soft that I found in a drawer. The flower soft did not cover completely, so I added some light green glitter as well. It's like a meadow of flowers and glitter, like in real life. Now it's time to add our first windowed panel to the inside of the card. Start with the panel with the smallest opening. Add some Score-tape (or other adhesive; your choice) to the left flap of that panel. Because you have folded your 11" X 5-1/2" cardstock against the fold indentation, you should have a ridged score line on the inside of the card. Place the panel with the tree window on the right side of that ridge. Peel the Scor-Tape liner off, make sure everything is lined up, and close the front of the card. Now, when you open the card back up, you should see something like this. Take the panel with the second smallest opening, put some Scor-Tape (or other adhesive) on the left flap, and adhere it just above the panel you just did. Keep doing that until you have all four windowed panels stuck down evenly on the inside front of your card. I forgot to take a picture of it, but adhere the 3" X 5" panel (mine is yellow) to the inside back cover so you will be able to see it through the windows. Even though I forgot to photograph that part. You are very smart and will be able to figure out exactly where it goes. At this point in this particular card, I realized that just airbrushing some green around the tree tops was not going to make this a very woodsy card, so I took some distress ink and a sea sponge and sponged leaves on the various layers. It was extremely easy to mask off each layer by simply putting a half sheet of cardstock behind the panel I was working on and another half sheet to the left of that panel. I also took the opportunity to airbrush some moss or grass on the ground under the trees. And then I die cut some deer, and a bunny, and some birds. I believe these dies are from Impression Obsession. I sponged some ink on the edges to make them look more rounded and lifelike. This is a great time to add any critters or flowers or vines or whatever to your layers. So much harder after sticking the right side of the flaps together (voice of experience). I also realized I wanted to scatter some more Flower Soft at the bottom of each layer, so I did that too. Now cut one more piece of the green cardstock at 5-1/2" X 4-1/4" and score it lengthwise at 2". I went ahead and stamped mine with a wood background. The 2" part of the panel is going to be used to hold all four of the right-hand side flaps together, and the 2-1/4" part of that panel is going to get stuck to the right-hand inside of the card. Because you are sticking flaps together, on the back of that panel, run your adhesive horizontally. I used my wide Scor-Tape for this because . . . I really don't have a lot of other uses for tape that wide, and I have a whole roll. You can absolutely use adhesive that is narrower. Open up your card completely and press all those layers down. See how they line up nice and even? That's where the 2" part of the new panel is going to go! Take your Scor-Tape liners off, and stick it all together. I glued the 2-1/4" part to the back cover first, and then--while it was all still flat--glued the 2" side down. Open the close your card to make sure it all works. If you want to take another run at it, Scor-Tape can be loosened with your heat gun and the paper very gently pried apart again. Also feel free to use your scissors to trim anything that didn't quite fit. To finish up the inside of the card, I stamped this sentiment by Penny Black to the left of the trees. And this is how the tunnel looks all put together! Magical! Here is the entire inside of the card put together. Oh yeah, I need an outside of the card too! I used this die from Eutreec that I bought really reasonably from Amazon, and a wood-grain embossing folder from Stampin' Up. Here are a couple more samples I made: This one uses regular old nesting dies, and some very old but gorgeous paper from a company I don't even think is in business anymore. I can't remember what this paper is. I made the card two years ago. I have a thing for adding butterflies wherever I can. The nesting dies used here are Spellbinders, and the butterfly and plant dies are Cheery Lynn. And this one uses Spellbinders dies from the one and only Becca Feeken! Yes, the very dies I was looking for and couldn't get at the time, came back in stock and I bought them!!! And now I can use them in the Storybook Tunnel Card! I also got to use some very beautiful paper from Graphic 45 on this one. This card is made even more special with a door. The door opens and everything. Look! Another magical world inside! A message of thanks! And thanks to all of you who hung in there all the way to the end of this very long blog post. If you have made it all the way to the end, you have to click on this link and see the VERY GORGEOUS card made by my good friend, Shelly Hickox. Shelly is a genius with Graphic 45 (with anything really--very creative that one). Now go make one of your own! Cyndi

Today I'm sharing my card I made with the absolutely gorgeous Carnation die set from the Through The Arbor Garden collection by Spellbinders. A little bit about me is that some of my very first dies were flower petal dies to make shaped flowers. To this day I find it so fun and satisfying to take plain white cardstock and create beautiful flowers! I used, for the first time, this specialty cardstock called "Susan's Garden Specialty Cardstock". I don't even remember when I ordered it, but I surely should have used it a lot sooner! Haha! I die cut all of the Carnation dies from this cardstock. These dies have a number etched into them to indicate how many times they should be die cut, which is so helpful. I used paper pouncers and a small ink blending brush to color the flowers with Cherry and Twirling Tutu inks and the leaves with green ink. The inks are in the list below for your reference. For the shaping and construction of the Carnations, I followed the directions on Spellbinders' YouTube. With the shaping tools and these directions, it's easy to get beautifully shaped carnations! I embossed the background layer with the Tufted 3D embossing folder, leaving the bottom edge hanging out. The sentiment is one that I had on hand. The Always and Forever Sentiment Strips letterpress plate creates 16 sentiments at once! There's also a die included that cuts them out all together. If you think you could never create beautiful paper flowers, I would disagree! I really hope I've inspired you to give this a try. Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda Noelke here from My PaperCut Creations! I’m thrilled to be guest posting on the Spellbinders blog again today! I’m sharing three cards using the Country Road Collection designed by Annie Williams!! I’ve always been a huge fan of Annie’s cards and I’m so excited for her first collection! My cards today have more of a Spring or Summer theme going on, but there is also a seasonal die set that I can’t wait to use! SENDING BIRTHDAY WISHES CARD I began by die-cutting the wheelbarrow in Country Wheelbarrow Etched Dies from Silver Fox, Latte, Timber, and Brushed Silver cardstock. I brushed a bit of Distress Oxide Ink onto the wooden die-cuts to bring out the embossed texture. The foliage was cut from Fern and Rainforest cardstock and the flowers from Snowdrift, Chamomile, and Latte using the Garden Builder Etched Dies. I chose to keep the background simple to allow the die-cuts to take center stage. I simply blended Distress Oxide Inks onto a panel of white cardstock, then die-cut it with the largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A Die Set and adhered to a white card base. The sentiment, from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set, was stamped onto the bottom of the panel with black ink. All of the die-cuts were adhered to the background with liquid glue. HOW’S IT GROWING? CARD My second card was created with the Rustic Garden and Garden Builder Etched Die Sets. I die-cut the fence, barrel, wagon wheel, water pump and birdhouse from Silver Fox, Latte, Timber, Snowdrift, and Waterfall cardstock using the Rustic Garden Etched Dies. The foliage and flowers were die-cut from Fern, Rainforest, Snowdrift, Chamomile, and Pink Sand cardstock with the Garden Builder Etched Die Set. I added a bit of shading to some of the die-cuts with Distress Oxide Inks. The ink-blended background was cut out with the largest die in the A2 Matting Basics A Die Set. The sentiment is once again from the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set. It was stamped directly onto the background with black ink. All of the die-cuts were arranged and adhered to the background with liquid glue. WELCOME CARD My third card would be perfect to welcome a new neighbor to the neighborhood. For this one, I die-cut the sign from Snowdrift, Silver Fox, Pink Sand, and Brushed Silver cardstock using the Welcome Sign & Sentiments Stamp & Die Set. The sentiment was stamped onto the sign with black ink using the same set. The barrel from the Rustic Garden Etched Dies was cut from Silver Fox and dark gray cardstock. I cut it down and added foliage and flowers from the Garden Builder Etched Die Set, which were cut from the same cardstocks as the previous two cards. The background was blended with the same Distress Oxide Inks, concentrating the color in the center of the white panel. It was die-cut with the largest A2 Matting Basics A Die and adhered to an A2 panel of Silver Fox cardstock. The die-cuts were arranged and adhered with liquid glue. OTHER SUPPLIES Liquid glue; 80 & 110 lb. white cardstock; Distress Oxide Inks: Tumbled Glass, Mermaid Lagoon, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke; Versafine Onyx Black Ink; dark gray cardstock Thank you so much for stopping by today!!
