Spellbinders Fresh Picked Buttercups.

Posted on by Liz

Today I’ve used one of the new flowers from the Fresh Picked Collection (this and all following links are affiliate links) by Spellbinders, these are the Fresh Picked Buttercups. I opted for three different pinks to go with the bright green leaves.

I used one of the arches from the Make a Wish Arch Labels dies set on top of a plain white card base. And then I placed the die cut flowers around the left and top edge of the arch.

Once again, I used one of the Sealed Sentiments and stamped it up in a matching colour. Then I put some enamel dots on as well.

POD Love, Brownie Bear

I have another pencil colouring made into a card today. Meet Love, Brownie Bear by Purple Onion Designs. It’s another great illustration by Pei. Stuck with more of a texture on the bear this time and I absolutely love that he’s a bumble bear! The sentiment is from the Love Sentiment set.

Another fun birthday card today made with the new Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) release. I made the background using the new Birthday Dance Confetti background stamp. I think used the same Catherine Pooler inks to ink up a panel which I die cut using the new Hooray word die. This was die cut a few times and layered for dimension. The sentiment is from Animal Crackers A Little Note. A few sequins from the Karma embellishment jar finished off the card.

There is a new mini release over at Purple Onion Designs featuring the awesome Pei. I’ve dusted off my pencils for a couple of these and first out we have Flappy’s Lucky Day. My Prismacolor Pencils were loving these cute animals. I then die cut out the panel and used a background paper behind it and a few fun gems. Be sure to check out this fun new collection of rubber stamps!

Let’s have another photo as well:

PFS Cake Everywhere

Posted on by Liz

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) have a fun new release out today that is all about cake! It is definitely a birthday party release for me for sure and I’m going to start off with this month’s mixed media card because they are so much fun to make!

The great new stamp set with lots of cake is called Sugar and Calorie-free. You can get coordinating dies to go with! For the mixed media background I started by inking up the Birthday Dance Confetti background stamp in various colours before stamping up circles from the Wreath Building Centers and Foliage.

I’ve used Pink Tinsel paper glaze velvet on the Simple Plaid 6×8 stencil, using just parts of it. The sentiment is from Animal Crackers A Little Note whereas the sequins are from the Peach Bellini embellishment jar.

And a close-up, because they are fun!
