Spellbinders Amazing Florals

Hello Crafty Friends, and thanks so much for joining me for today’s project featuring the new Spellbinders Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder. I look for any excuse to use the many, amazing flowers from Spellbinders, and today’s project gave me just that opportunity! Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

I began this project by embossing the Argyle Plaid onto a panel of black cardstock. I knew that I wanted a black and gold background with lots of flowers, so I then took gold ink and a brayer and rolled that over the raised portions of the panel. Yes, it messed up in one or two places, but I love the look just the same!

Next, I die cut a bunch of flowers and leaves from pink and green cardstock using the Spellbinders Club Blooms and the Spellbinders Sealed Leaf Sprigs. I also die cut some of the flower centers from black, gold and yellow cardstock as well. Once the cutting was done, I used SSS Pawsitively Saturated Inks in Bubblegum, Carnation, Honey and Pearfection and did some ink blending before assembling the flowers.

This super awesome sentiment is from the Spellbinders Making Me Smile Sentiments Hot Foil set, and I foiled that using gold foil onto black cardstock and trimmed it out with the included die. This is one of those sets that creates multiple sentiments at once, and that is a game changer! I did two extra cuts and adhered the three layers together using liquid glue for a stacked sentiment.

Now to assemble this masterpiece! I adhered the embossed panel to the card base and glued the leaves in place first, followed by the flowers. The two larger flowers, as well as the sentiment, were adhered using foam strips for a little added dimension. To finish up, I added some PFS Gold Metallic Pearls to tie everything together.

That does it for this project! I hope you don’t get tired of flowers, because I sure don’t get tired of creating with them! Thanks again for joining me today, and don’t forget to stop by and check out all the new July releases over on the Spellbinders website. Have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Stamp Feel Better Blossoms

Hello Friends and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Cherry Blossom Embossing Folder from Simon’s latest release, Be Bold. Let’s run through the deets for this one!

Main Products:

I began this project by spritzing a panel of Neenah 110lb cardstock with water and placing it in the SSS Cherry Blossom Embossing Folder and running it through the machine. I also used the included die cut and cut a few white flowers and ink blended those using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Seafoam.

To add the black to the flowers, I used the TH Brayer and a VersaFine Onyx Black ink pad, and just rolled the black onto the raised portions of the panel. I also used a Copic 110 marker to touch up some of the black flowers as well. Once that was dry, I used Cosmic Shimmer Snow and Ice Lustre Polish to add some shine to some of the black flowers using my finger.

I used the SSS Feel Better Soon sentiment and cut that once from Aqua Mirror cardstock and twice from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also cut the shadow portion twice and adhered all of those pieces together using liquid glue. The sentiment was glued directly to the panel, and I glued the ink blended flowers in place also.

To finish up, I added some SSS Dazzling Gems in Surf to some of the flowers before adhering the floral panel to a black panel with foam tape.

That does it for this one! I hope you enjoyed this project, and I hope it inspires you to experiment and play around with your embossing folders. Don’t forget to check out the entire Be Bold release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and have yourself a wonderful day!
