  • Faceted Petals

    Faceted Petals

    This card builds on a previous thank-you card. This one adds more layers, texture and colors.

  • Vivid Blooms

    Vivid Blooms

    I started out by studying the arrangement on the packaging. It uses one of each of the flowers and a couple of the smaller leaves. So that’s what I die cut from Hammermill cardstock.

  • Moody Thanks

    Moody Thanks

    This is a pretty simple card, consisting only of two dark purple pieces of cardstock plus the sentiment and some sequins.

  • Jaycee’s Hearts

    Jaycee’s Hearts

    As soon as I saw Jaycee’s playing deck-themed release with Spellbinders, I knew what I wanted to create with it. With Valentine’s Day on my mind, I chose the heart dies for my first card.

    I started by stamping and heat embossing the big Poinsettia stamp set twice: once with gold embossing powder on Hammermill and once with Distress Embossing Glaze in Speckled Egg on vellum.

    I cut out the A2 Cover Die from an old background. The background was stamped with a Taylored Expressions background stamp and heat embossed in light blue.

  • Oval Holiday Shaker

    Oval Holiday Shaker

    I cut the oval base layer three times from red foil cardstock and once from clear acetate. Next I cut the oval frame three times from red glitter foam.

    Spellbinders Love on the Rocks

    Today I’m participating in Spellbinders launch of the Love on the Rocks Collection. For this card I used the die set called Love on the Rocks and the press plate sentiments.

  • Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    Stitchmas: Day 1 – 4

    My plan was to create round ornaments with my stitched die cuts, using wooden coasters as my base. I started by painting the edges with gold paint.

  • Sizzix Holiday Giveaway

    Sizzix Holiday Giveaway

    As an aside, I know this folder is called Leaf Pattern, but I’ve always used it for holiday makes. The pattern looks like evergreen branches to me.

    I created a felt yeti with Rocky, the Dancin’ Yeti for his launch. But I also wanted to color him with Distress Watercolor Pencils.

    Snowdrop Shaker

    The snowdrop plate is part of the January Set of Spellbinders Florals Through the Year Collection. So I created a snow-themed shaker card with it.

  • Chrysanthemum Cards

    Chrysanthemum Cards

    I associate chrysanthemums with cemeteries. So it was natural to use the Chrysanthemum Press Plates for sympathy cards.

  • Christmas Boutique

    Christmas Boutique

    When I got this die set I felt kind of meh about it. But now that I’ve created a card with it, I think it’s super cute! It was fun to put together, too.
