Blossoming Slimline Birthday

Hi Friends! Thanks for stopping by! Do you love slimline cards? You'll love the latest additions from Spellbinders. Whenever I think of Spellbinders I sort of get the warm fuzzies. I think they were the very first die set I ever purchased way back when and I still love they're style and quality today.

This is the Blossoming Slimline die. I started by cutting it out from white cardstock and then added Elizabeth Crafts double sided adhesive to the back. Next I adhered the panel to an aqua colored panel.

The tape adhered to the back of the die cut leaves all the die cut openings sticky. Next I die cut the panel with colored cardstock and inlayed the pieces into the sticky openings. I started with the aqua pieces because they are the majority and fill most of the space.

Yes this is a time consuming method, but it's so worth it after you see your smooth clean card in bright bold colors - it's like a mosaic or stained glass - just stunning.

The die includes four dies so you can cut just the shapes you want. I used them all! I topped the striped center label with a sentiment strip - it's hard to see in a photograph but it's actually gold foil.

I'm linking this card to AAA Birthday where they're looking for Birthday Cards! OBVIOUSLY!! LOL!!! I hope you find some time to play along- and have a great day!

Thanks Mom For All You Do

Hi friends! I hope you had a great Mother's Day Weekend! The weather was a little chilly here but that didn't stop us from cooking outside. I tried a new recipe - some Spinach Artichoke dip that was a big hit. I like having everyone vote on recipies - keep it or loose it. This one is a keeper.

I didn't get a chance to see my Mom this weekend - I plan to visit her this week with a stuffed pizza! A little splurge.

My card starts with a background of Distress Ink in Shaded Lilac and Spun Sugar. I topped the panel with a Lattice Cover Die.

I stamped, die cut and colored the MOM letters and then placed them back in the die cut. I used a piece of repositionable tape to hold them in place, added adhesive foam tape to their backs and adhered them to the card base.

I'm linking this card to the Cut It Up Challenge where this time they're looking for card for MOM that include a die cut. I hope this satisfies! :P

My Creative Scrapbook May 2021 Main Kit

Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! Have I got a treat for you!!! Today I'm sharing four cards I made with the My Creative Scrapbook May 2021 Main Kit. This is a monthly subscription service for papercrafters. My Creative Scrapbook does all the hard work.. the assemble all the pieces, perfectly coordinated and delivered to your front door! Every month they have several kits to choose from.. their Main Kit, LE - Limited Edition, Creative Kit and Album Kit - so you can choose what's right for you.

Here's a peek at this month's kit! It's a feast for the eyes in rainbow colors and papers by my paper mixing and matching hero Paige Evans "Wonders" Collection. The kit includes beautiful 12" papers, a coordinating 12" sheet of Chipboard, packages of die cut images and a stamp set too!

I made NINE cards this month so I'm splitting my posts showing just three at a time. This set included lots of pieces great for layering like the labels and mandala I used on the above card. Little tabs are perfect for personalizing with your own handwritten sentiment.

I love the beautiful birds and florals in this set that are easy to incorporate into scenes that are garden fresh.

If you look close you'll see gold foil accents added throughout the collection. The frame on the above is chipboard and has a gold design. The floral wreath below has gold foil accents on the leaves.

And YES there are pretty butterflies too! There are a few in colors that coordinate with the collection, pink, orange and lavender. The only thing I added to this kit was the card bases, solid cardstock mats, adhesive and enamel dots.

The best part about this kit is that the selection of product has been done for me. I dont have to leave the house and hope the store I visit has all the coordinating elements. It simplifies the process with a delivered package ready for me to make! I sure hope you'll give My Creative Scrapbook a try! I think you'll be glad you did.

And .. if you're looking for ideas after you receive the kit.. there's an entire gallery of project ideas on the My Creative Scrapbook website so you'll always be inspired!
