Hello, Crafty Friends!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and checking out the new collection from Spellbinders!

I especially love the dies in this set, and they are so versatile. You can creats lots of beautiful projects by adding in some other supplies you probably already have on hand, so I'd love to share how I did that with these two cards:

I started by cutting some patterned paper scraps I had in my stash (including some from the Sincerely Yours paper pad). I then used the dies from the Heartfelt Thanks set to cut out the white and green-leafed pieces. 

I glued these all together down on my cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base and then cut away the "Heartfelt Thanks" portion of the sentiment die in the set so that only the scroll accents were left. I glued that down on top of my card and then stamped a sentiment from the Beautiful Inside and Out sentiment stamp set to complete the focal point of the card. 

For my next card, I thought these dies would really look nice on a slimline card, so I cut down some colored cardstock and glued it on to a cut and scored slimline white card base. 

I chose a different sentiment from the same stamp set and then adhered some foam on to the pack of my oval focal panel before adhering it down to the card base to finish off the card.

 Welcome, Crafty Friends!

I used the new Liberty Sunday Drive Die for this card along with the new Sun Burst stencil:

And then I used the new Color Block Panel Die, some papers from the Sincerely Yours Paper Pad, and the All-Occasion Sentiment set for this next card:

 Hello Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out a new collection from Spellbinders! The Sweet Cardlets II Collection has some adorable images to satisfy the girly and frilly streak that sometimes lies dormant in my crafty system. 

So let's get to the cards!

For the first card, I used the Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil plates and some patterned paper from the Sincerely Yours Paper Pad to create that front square image. After the foiling was done, I cut a piece of pink cardstock from my scrap stash and just matted the foiled square on to that piece of cardstock and trimmed it down. I added foam to the back of that finished piece and glued it down to the top center of the card.

I created the card base by cutting and scoring a piece of 4.25 x 5.5 inch white cardstock and then adhering another piece of patterned paper from the same paper pad (cut down to 4.25 x 5.5 inches) down to the card base. 

To finish off the card, I foiled the sentiment that's included in the set and then trimmed it down before matting it to the same pink cardstock. I added the same foam to the back and glued it down underneath the teacup and teapot panel up top. 

I followed the exact same process for the next card, using colored cardstock I had in my stash, foil, and white cardstock. But this time, I used the You are My Home Glimmer Plate set. 

I love that these glimmer plate sets look so nice on simple colored cardstock. It's a great way to use up all the colored cardstock that creeps into your stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you'll check out these new products!
