  • Sunset Peony Fantasy

    Sunset Peony Fantasy

    There are six stencils in the Peony Fantasy Layering Stencils Set, but I want to use two different colors for stencil 1. Stencil 1 has openings for coloring the flower centers, as well as the lightest color on the leaves.

    I created the white outline by using the postage stamp outline from the Spellbinders April 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month.

  • Mixed Media Smile

    First I placed the letter from the Spellbinders April 2025 BetterPress Kit of the Month in the top right corner, inked it up with Versamark and heat embossed it with Ranger Super Fine Detail in Silver.

  • Sparkling Santa

    This is the second time I’m using Sizzix Tim Holtz Santa Greetings Die Set. This time I went high contrast with it.

    In this card, the beautiful calligraphy by Paul Antonio takes center stage. I foiled the BetterPress Plate ‘On Your Wedding Day’ in pale blue.

    Sending Copperplate Love

    I actually gasped when I removed the foil from the background! Light blue foil on vellum in this gorgeous pattern is just stunningly beautiful.

    The theme of the January 2025 video hop is Minimalism and I’ve chosen to use the Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month for January for my card.

  • 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

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

  • Spellbinders Love on the Rocks

  • Peach & Purple Mums

    Peach & Purple Mums

    For these two cards, I foiled the flower in peach and purple. Then I added some ink blending with a pale blue dye ink centered on the flower.

    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.

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

    Paisley is my hands-down favorite abstract pattern! So of course I needed the Glimmer Kit of the Month for June ‘22.

  • A Stitch in Time

    A Stitch in Time

    I’m not normally one for vertical writing, but I love the stitched texture of this die. It’s also great for stitching on the go.
