Spellbinders Color Swatch Wheel

Hello Crafters and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Spellbinders Color
Wheel cardstock colors and the Color Swatch Wheel dies. The purpose of this post is really just to inspire you with some color combinations that feature the colors of cardstock. Let’s go ahead and get into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I took my color inspirations from the Color Cubes and matched the new Spellbinders cardstock colors to those, or as close as I could get them. I did add a die cut flower to each color as well, to give a little more detail. I hope you find some unique combinations that you might enjoy working with.

  • Tutu
  • Blush
  • Mint
  • Waterfall
  • Beeswax
  • Windy
  • Orchid
  • Tutu
  • Chiffon
  • Beeswax
  • Carrot
  • Poppy
  • Mulberry
  • Violet
  • Lavender
  • Lilac
  • Indigo
  • Raven
  • Merlot
  • Terra Cotta
  • Beeswax
  • Breeze
  • Lilac
  • Lavender
  • Fern
  • Beeswax
  • Saffron
  • Carrot
  • Terra Cotta
  • Poppy
  • Fern
  • Rainforest
  • Carrot
  • Oceanside
  • Malibu
  • Windy
  • Lilac
  • Blue Spruce
  • Teal Topaz
  • Waterfall
  • Fawn
  • Saffron
  • Waterfall
  • Mint
  • Carrot
  • Sicily
  • Poppy
  • Dahlia
  • Oceanside
  • Teal Topaz
  • Waterfall
  • Mint
  • Terra Cotta
  • Cinnamon

I could have made hundreds of combinations, but I got nine made. I was limited with my cardstock, so I made the best of it! If you haven’t used the Color Cubes, I highly recommend them! I do find myself getting stuck with colors sometimes, and it’s so helpful to just thumb through the cards to find a new combo that interests me. I’ve provided links to the colors that I used, along with some sampler packs. There are packs that include all of the colors as well, but at the time that this was written, those were out of stock and I was unable to provide a link to that.

That does it for this project! Like I said, I hope this post inspires you to try some new color combos, and to try the new cardstock colors from Spellbinders. Stay tuned for a shaped card using these dies! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Vivid Script Hugs

Hello Friends, and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by to check out today’s project featuring the new Eyelet Scallop Border, Vivid Script Sentiments and the Vivid Blooms sets from the Spellbinders latest January releases. Let’s go ahead and jump into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by gold splattering a Neenah panel and then die cutting the Eyelet Scallop Border from Neenah 110lb cardstock. I also went ahead and cut the flowers from the Vivid Blooms set from Waterfall and yellow cardstock. While I was cutting, I cut the hugs sentiment once from gold cardstock and three times from Neenah.

I ink blending the flowers a little bit with some Surf ink and assembled the pieces of the flowers, as well as the sentiment. I adhered the border to my splattered panel, adhered the flowers atop that and then adhered the sentiment just below that. The finished panel was then adhered to the card base with foam tape for added dimension.

Super simple card for today, but I’ve been in a clean and simple mode lately for some reason. That’s ok .. not every card has to be over the top! I hope you enjoyed it, and I’m so glad that you stopped by! Have yourself an awesome day!

Spellbinders Wonderful Vivid Blooms

Hello Friends and thanks for stopping by! Today’s project is featuring the new Vivid Blooms set from Spellbinders January releases. I had used these florals on a previous project and had some left over, so of course I had to use them! Let’s run through the details.

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by die cutting the florals and leaves from Waterfall, Teal Topaz, Saffron, Cotton Candy and Green Apple cardstocks. I did some ink blending on those pieces using Carnation, Honey, Artichoke, Ocean and Surf inks. Once the ink blending was complete, I assembled the flowers and set them aside while I worked on the remainder of the card.

I used the Fluted Classics Rectangles to create a frame and then embossed the center portion using the Leafy Embossing Folder. For some added interest, I did splatter both of those with gold acrylic ink. The sentiment, which is from the You Are Everything Sentiments set, was gold foiled onto black cardstock and die cut three times for a stacked sentiment look.

For the assembly, I glued the frame and embossed panel to the card base and then adhered the leaves in place and then the florals. Two of the flowers were adhered with foam tape for some added dimension. The sentiment was added with foam strips, and to finish up, I added some Gold Metallic Pearls to one of the leaf stems.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Thanks again for joining me today, and I have you have an amazing day! Stay awesome, friend!

Spellbinders Sweeping Floral Hello

Hello Friends, and thanks so much for stopping by! I recently did a white on white card, and that prompted the idea for creating a black on black card. This project is using the Sweeping Script Sentiments BetterPress Plates and the Vivid Blooms from Spellbinders’ latest January releases. Let’s go ahead and go through the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project be gold foiling the hello, which is from the Sweeping Script Sentiments set, and then using the Fluted Classics Rectanlges to trim it out. I then splattered the panel with gold acrylic ink and set that aside to dry while I worked on the flowers.

I die cut several flowers and leaves from the Vivid Blooms set from black cardstock and cut the centers of the flowers from gold cardstock. I went ahead and assembled the flowers using liquid glue and got started on the card layout.

The leaves were glued in place first and the larger flowers were adhered with foam tape for a little bid of added dimension. The smaller flowers were tucked in and around to fill in and secured with glue as well. I did add some gold metallic pearls to one of the leaves to bring it all together before adhering the panel to the card base to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Black on black isn’t for everyone, but I do love tone on tone projects! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Birthday Wishes

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! The January releases from Spellbinders are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Ganache Gateau, Birthday Cheers and the Vivid Blooms! Don’t you love it when the vision in your mind translates well to an actual project?! Let’s go through the details for this one, shall we?

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by cutting the base layer of the cake using Cotton Candy cardstock, while cutting the frosting pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock. There was quite a bit of floral cutting for this project and the cardstock colors that I used were Gold, Waterfall, Saffron, Peacock and Green Apple. Those will all be listed in the thumbnails below.

Once all of the floral die cutting was complete, I did some ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum, Surf and Cabbage inks. The floral pieces were then assembled using liquid glue. Before adding anything to the cake, I did splatter it with gold acrylic ink for some added interest. I began the assembly with the leaves and flowers at the bottom of the cake, and then added the bottom icing piece.

I wanted to figure out the sentiment before adding the top pieces to the cake, so I die cut the support sticks five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and I die cut the ‘birthday wishes’ once from gold cardstock and four times from Neenah. All of those pieces were adhered together so that it would be sturdy.

I adhered the top icing pieces, the support sticks and then the flowers around those. Adding the flowers over the support sticks hid the bottom portion of those, which I wanted. My next step was to secure the sentiment in place. I wanted the card to be the shape of the cake, so I cut another piece of pink cardstock and scored it at 1/4″ and applied some Scor Tape to secure those together.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it! In all honesty, this is my very first shaped card, and I kind of like it, so I’ll probably try it again at some point. Thanks for stopping by to hang out with me for a bit, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Spellbinders October 2024 Large Die of the Month Cozy Toes Slippers

Hello Crafty Friends, and welcome back! Thanks so much for stopping by! The October Large Die of the Month from Spellbinders is titled Cozy Toes Slippers, and this is such a cute set! It includes elements to make slippers that feature a bunny, a reindeer, a penguin, Santa and even a monster! I chose to do the Santa slippers, so let’s go ahead and run through the details, shall we?

If you are not familiar with the Spellbinders Clubs, here’s a little bit about how it works ..

  • On the 6th of the month, Non-Club members can join the club and get this month’s Club product(s) at the reduced Club Member price with free shipping.
  • On the 27th of the month, registration for this month’s club products closes.
  • On the 10th of the next month, Club products become available to everyone without requiring a Club membership; however, they are available at regular price and there is no free shipping. If a product is sold out, it will be re-ordered.

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by sorting through the dies and identifying those that pertained to the Santa. I then began cutting from colors of cardstock that coordinated with the pieces. I cut the pajama pants from patterned paper from my stash, and cut the slippers from black, and so on. You get the idea!

Once all of the pieces were cut, I began assembling them. I’m not even going to lie, I do have to refer to the images on the website sometimes to figure out what I’m supposed to be doing with the pieces! I decided that I needed a background, so I used the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder for that.

I adhered the pants and slippers using foam tape for added dimension, and applied glue and glitter to Santa’s hat for some sparkly additions. I also decided to apply some Glossy Accents to Santa’s nose as well. The sentiment is from the Mistletoe Greetings BetterPress set, and that was created using BetterPress Black ink, and then glued directly atop the pajama pants to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! There are so many fun options with this set for some super, cute Christmas or wintery cards! Thanks again for stopping by, and have a wonderful day!

Spellbinders Floral Thanks Cardfront

Hello Crafty Friends and thanks for joining me! Today’s project is featuring the new Thanks A2 Cardfront 3D Embossing Folder from Spellbinders September releases. I paired it with a bunch of florals for added interest, because we all know that I’m addicted to flowers! Let’s go ahead and go through the details.

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by running a gold panel in the Thanks folder through the machine, and then began die cutting all the flowers. The sets used for the flowers were Autumn Sealed Sprigs, Be Bold Blooms and Club Blooms, and the colors used were Black, Orange, Pink Sand, Saffron, Sage and Waterfall. Once that was done, I did a little bit of ink blending on the flowers using Carnation, Ocean, Sage and Honey inks before assembling the flowers.

The flowers on the sides were adhered first using liquid glue, and then I added a few to the center of the panel to balance everything out. My panel was adhered to the card base, and to finish up, I added a few clear drops.

This was a super simple card, but I loved adding all of the flowers to it for that pop of color! Be sure to head over to the Spellbinders website to check out all of the awesome releases for September! Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have an amazing day!

Spellbinders Autumn Health & Happiness

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! Have you checked out the Spellbinders September releases? So many awesome things to feast your eyes upon! Today’s project is featuring the new Autumn Rain BetterPress Plate and coordinating stencil, in some warm fall colors. So, let’s get into it!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began this project by inking up the Autumn Rain plate with Seafoam ink and then using the stencil to add color to the leaves and umbrellas using Sunbeam, Citrine, Melon and Cantaloupe ink. Once the ink blending was complete, I trimmed the panel using Fluted Classic Rectangles. I should mention that the color added to the handles of the umbrellas was leftover ink on a grey blending brush.

The sentiment is from the Making Me Smile Sentiments set and that was gold foiled onto black cardstock. It was trimmed out several times and adhered together for a stacked look. I adhered the sentiment to the panel using foam strips, and the panel was then adhered to the card base. To finish up, I added some gold pearls for some bling and added some shimmer to the rain using a Wink of Stella brush.

That doe sit for this one! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Don’t forget to check out all of the Spellbinders September releases! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Black Alder Christmas

Hello Friends and thanks so much for stopping by! I’m back today with a project featuring the new Black Alder dies from the Spellbinders Winter’s Grace Garden Collection. This is a die set from Susan Tierney-Cockburn and it’s absolutely beautiful! She has a wonderful video over on the Spellbinders product page, so definitely check that out! Let’s go ahead and go through the details for my card!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began my card by doing all of my die cutting using green and red cardstock. Once that was done, I did some ink blending on the leaves using SSS Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Kale, and used Copic Marker E79 to color the stems. The Black Alder leaves are shiny, so I used some Nuvo Crystal Drops and painted the leaves to give them a shiny effect.

If you know me, you know that I love using jewels as berries, and that’s exactly what I did here! Yay for red jewels! In Susan’s video, she uses small foam balls that she colored, but I didn’t have any of those, so I used what was on hand! My background was created using the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder with a bit of gold splatter for added interest.

I adhered the panel to a card base and began adhering my leaves using liquid glue. I then adhered the berries in place and went to work on the sentiment, which is from the Mistletoe Greetings BetterPress set. I gold foiled the sentiment and trimmed it out using the included die, and I went ahead and also cut a gold banner and glued those together.

My sentiment was adhered to the panel with foam strips for some added dimension. I’m pretty pleased with how this card turned out! I love the glossy leaves, which is something that you don’t see too often.

That does it for this post! I hope you enjoyed it, and I hope it inspires you to get crafty in your space! Head on over to Spellbinders to check out all of the new September releases, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks again for joining me, and have a fabulous day!

Spellbinders Argyle Paperwhites

Hello Crafty Friends and welcome back! The Spellbinders September releases are live, and I’m back today with a project featuring the new Paperwhites Glass Vase and Dies from Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s Winter’s Grace Garden Collection. Let’s go ahead and jump into the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked to multiple sources in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

This was my first time working with Susan’s flowers, and I just have to say, they are absolutely wonderful to work with! I love that she provides a video on the product page and offers guidance on how to shape, color and assemble the elements. This set does include a vase and a bulb, but I opted to use only the flower dies for my card today. I die cut eight flowers from Neenah 110lb cardstock and used the Sizzix Shaping Kit to soften and curl the petals. For the stamen, I used Copic Marker Y38 to color those a golden yellow before assembling.

I assembled all of my flowers and began working on the rest of the card. I used the Argyle Plaid 3D Embossing Folder for the background, and I used Sealed Blooming Stems for the leaves, which were cut from Sage cardstock. The sentiment is from the You Are Everything Sentiments BetterPress set, and that was gold foiled.

The background panel was adhered to the card base, and I began securing the leaves with liquid glue, while adhering the flowers with a foam square. The sentiment was adhered with foam strips, not that this card needed any more dimension! To finish up, I added some clear drops for a little bit of shine.

Like I said earlier, this is the first time that I’ve used Susan’s flowers, and I’m blown away by the dimension! This is definitely a hand deliver type of card!

That does it for this project. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Head on over to the Spellbinders site to check out all of the new items in the September release. Lots of fun things! Thanks again for joining me, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
