Spellbinders another Dragon

I’ve made another card with the fun new  Spellbinders (this and following links are affiliate links) Dancin’ Dragon! Unlike the dragon on the previous card, this one isn’t actually dancing. He is still happy, though! When I die cut the parts for the dragon I did all the parts in a few different colours so I could put together more than one. It is such a great way to quickly make cards in the future, if you just have a ready-made dragon laying in wait!

The base of the card has its shape from the largest of the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies. I used the second biggest on the previous card, but here I wanted a fun shape.

I stamped up one of the Sealed Sentiments in a matching colour and then I put some enamel dots around as well to bring in the greens a bit more.

Spellbinders Monster Birthday

So I’ve been keeping a little secret! I’ve been asked to make a few cards with Spellbinders (this and following links are affiliate links) products and my first card is for the January release. Here I’ve used various products from the Monster Birthday collection. The dragon is a fun one, he’s dancing! It is only his head that is glued properly so the rest of his body is swinging back and forth. I’ll try to make a reel of it later this week and link to it here so you can see.

The balloon die is from the fun new birthday balloon set. I’ve also used one of the arches from Make a Wish Arch Labels.

Making a die cut only card is something I very rarely do, but it was a lot of fun and you can expect to see more fun dragons!

LH Dragon Knitting

The dragon carrying yarn I made a card with previously has a sibling who knits, so of course I had to colour that one up as well. It is called Dragon Knitting and is by Lee Holland. I made it for a co-worker who was retiring this summer. She loves blues, hence the near all blue card!

LH Dragon with Flowers

Don’t you just love it when, after colouring up an image, you realise you have the perfect sentiment?

That is what happened to me while making this card! First I coloured up this adorable dragon by Lee Holland, and after I had decided on the layout and die cut the coloured panel I remembered a stamp set I had bought recently and hoped it had a fitting sentiment. It definitely did!

The sentiment is from the huge sunflower stamp by Simon Says Stamp.
