Another Glimmer of the Month card

 Hello!

 Welcome to my little crafting place!

This month the Spellbinders club kits will help you on the way with your Christmas crafting, and I've shared a few of the things I've made using my three club kits.

Today I've used the Glimmer of the Month club set and made something a bit different, at least for me! 

So I thought I'd share a quick post to see what you thought of this one.

 

 This time I coloured the foiled piece with metallic pens from my wax seal highlighting stuff, and gave the lights a coat of Glossy Accents for extra shine. Then I cut the foiled panel in half and added one piece to the top of the card and the other to the lower edge.

I added gold and white strips between them and decorated with narrow shiny red strips and the sentiment from the Glimmer set foiled in red

To finish there's a wax thread bow with a glitter card dot in the middle

  Just a Note

3D Vignette dies - Spellblogger post for Spellbinders

Hello

For my Spellbloggers post this time I've been experimenting with the gorgeous Tiered Rosette die, Petite Double Bow and Flowers  and another beauty, Tiara Rondelle all from Becca Feeken's beautiful new Elegant 3D Vignettes collection from Spellbinders

Info:

Smooth white card blank

Patterned papers

For the Tiara Rondelle section I adhered the paper to some card before die-cutting, then cut the shape in half to make an arch.  The two pieces were also separated by tiny pieces of chipboard to add dimension

The rosette die, with the pretty lacy edge was cut twice, and the two pieces glued together.  Instead of forming into a rosette, I used the fold lines to create the loopy, pleated border.

For the roses I used Cinch and Go Flowers set one. The die set has several sizes of the flower which means it's fantastic for making flowers in different sizes

To finish I added a raised strip of the lilac paper and topped it with the beautiful double bow

Here are the details of all the Spellbinders die sets used this time

I love making rosettes, but its also great to find other ways of using your dies, so using the rosette die to make different kinds of pleated borders is a good way to get more mileage from this one.
There's another idea for using it to make a pleated edge HERE

That's all for this time, but if you click on This Link you'll find yourself browsing the aisles of the wonderfull Spellbinders store where you will find lots of lovely dies, stamps and other goodies, plus a huge amount of inspiration

Happy Easter - Spellblogger post for Spellbinders

Hello, Happy Easter! 

For my Spellbloggers post this time I thought I'd share a couple of Spring themed cards.  I added Easter greetings to mine and I hope they will make people smile when they arrive at their destinations

The first card uses just one of the elements from a brand new set in the Die D-Lites range from Spellbinders, its called Lady Bug Garden and I have a feeling this will become a real favourite!

There are several cute shapes in this set, but I used only the little tulip shaped one to make this card - I love tulips, so I sneaked some into the second of my cards too 
I'm saving the other dies in this set for later projects - they are so darned sweet - check them out on the die set pictures and links below.
Info:
I inked up small pieces of white card in good 'tulip' shades to start with, then cut the die first in green for the stems, then in the colours.  Once cut out I added extra ink and layered the heads onto the stems with a tiny piece of chipboard between.
I matted a strip of white card onto a strip of deep pinky-peach card, adhered this across my card blank and arranged my flowers along the strip
For the lettering out came my new favourite alphabet die set (again). The letters of HAPPY were just cut once in the same green card as the flower stems.  
For EASTER I cut three layers in white card and glued them together, then used scraps of the inked card left over from the petals for the upper layer.  The tiny heart was punched from a scrap of inked card too

For my second card i used a die set that I just couldn't resist!  I knew this Some Bunny  set from the My Little Red Wagoncollection by Debi Adams  would come in handy one daywouldn't it make the sweetest  new baby card or a birthday card for a Small Fry! 
 But it's also perfect for this fun little Easter Bunny

Info:
To begin with I taped off the white edge of my card blank and filled in the remaining square with a few shades of blue ink
I coloured some white card scraps with pinks and turquoise to use for tulips, rabbit ears and the bow tie
The tulips are cut using the same die used for card 1.  The tufts of crass were cut using  Flower Field 
For the rabbit I used kraft card, and inked through the holes in the die to add the nose and eyes.  I used a baby-bud to add some pink to his cheeks
The sentiment was pc generated , then printed and matted on green card to fit between his paws 

Here are the details of all the Spellbinders die sets used this time

It's such a cute set, especially those little BBQ tools! Perfect for the Man who loves his BBQ, Summer scrapbook pages or Barbecue party invitations!

Hopefully the weather will soon stop with all this ice and snow and Spring will finally arrive.  Then thoughts will turn to dragging the barbecue out of the shed and dusting it off!  You never know, perhaps Easter will be warm enough for a BBQ.  
Anyway, you really need this die set in your collection so you're all ready!
