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.

Spellbinders another Dragon

Posted on by Liz

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.

I bought this die set because I figured it could be a fun activity to do with the kids. The 4 yo thought it was a lot of fun and will definitely make more! This is the card I made while showing her how to put it together. The die set is by Lawn Fawn. Isn’t it such a fun thing to make and so far from what I normally create!

PFS Spooky Halloween release

Posted on by Liz

Picket Fence Studios (this and all following links are affiliate links) is out with one massive release. It’s very spooky and autumn themed, and it also has quite a few florals. Isn’t that just perfect? I’ve actually chosen to play with stencils, die cuts and colours for my release cards this month. First I will show you this spooky house card and tomorrow you will also find a witch card on the blog!

I started by ink blending the background by covering the area for the moon so it would have any ink on it. I ink blended straight onto the card base and made sure it covered well all the way to the edges. Then I used the Haunted Moon blending stencil and a pale coloured ink to make the moon. Later I die cut the A2 Ghost House cover plate die a few times and glued them together for dimension. Before gluing the top layer I embossed the Boo! sentiment. The sentiment is from the Ghosts of Halloween Past set. A few pretty purple sequins from the I’m Alive embellishment jar finished off the card.

Here is a side-on view of the card. You can see the house is raised from the background. That is because I have cut it out three times and glued them together.

And here you can see a more detailed photo.

Love Heart

Posted on by Liz

I’ve taken some time to play around with some goodies I bought earlier this year. This is the Mod Heart by Mama Elephant which I bought at ByCino. It is such a fun heart and I die cut it in loads of different card stocks colours so I could mix and match. The card stocks are mostly by Papertrey Ink and MFT Stamps.

The sentiment is by Spellbinders and the sentiment strip is by Altenew.
