Happy Happy Birthday with Memory Box

Hello and welcome, I have a fun birthday card featuring new products from the latest 2025 Birthday Wishes release.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/kqpm4d0

Here's a closer look at my card.

The background is the new Bubble Dots Plate 94858, cut and added to a white card front.  The bottom section is 3 colors of cardstock cut using the Happy Birthday Background Plate 94857, stacked on top of each other.  Then I cut the "happy, happy, birthday, section from the top of the die and popped it up on the bottom of the card front.  Next I cut several of the Wrapper Candels 94853 from red and white cardstock put them together and added the flames cut from yellow.  I tucked the finished candels under the blue section.  Lastly I added a couple of jewels to the flames.

Here's one last look:

Spellbinders Painted Daisy and Ladybugs + 3D embossing

   

Hello and welcome!  I have 2 cards for you today featuring the newly release Painted Daisy and Ladybugs from Spellbinders.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/xl0xrej

Here's a close look at the red version:

For this card I used the January 3D Embosing Folder of the Month for the background.  The flowers were cut from watercolored card stock that was painted and smooshed with watercolors.  Once cut out, I added lot of Distress Ink Fire Brick Ink to the flower petals, then added white gel pen them.  The branch dies were cut from watercolor paper painted with Evergreen Bough Distres Ink.  I inked the edges of the dry embossed panel and added marker to the flower center, then the watercolored star die cuts and the covered the center with Glossy Accents.

The sentiment is from the Ideal Moments Press Plate and Die Set, matted to a strip of red inked card stock.  Lastly I added white gel pen to the flower and leaves.

Here's one last look at this card:



Okay, now lets look at card #2.



These flowers were made the same way, with watercolor paper, Distress inks, white gel pen, etc.   

The difference is I used a plain white card base to mount them on, some with glue, some with foam tape.  Also I splattered the card front with black ink and added the small striped panel at the bottom to anchor the card.  I didn't use any Glossy Accents on this one and the sentiment is from the Curved Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Plate and Die Set.

Here's one last look at the turquoise version:

And one last look at them side by side:

Bluebird Birthday with Memory Box

Hello and welcome, today I have a bluebird birthday card for you.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/rn9yy2l

Here's a closer look:

To create this card I used white card stock to cut several dies:

 1)  Evergreen Sky Collage  

2)  Birch Tree Trunks  

3)  Bluebird Prince

Next I cut the Small Nest from cream colored woodgrain paper, a tan color and a darker brown color.  I layered those together for the nest, then started coloring the bird parts with ink daubers.  I used Chipped Sapphire and Brushed Corduroy, plus Fossilized Amber and Carved Pumpkin for the beak and crown.  

After assembling the bird, I glued him to the nest.  On my white card base I added a navy blue panel cut down a little more than 1/2 inch, and the Evergreen Sky panel down by another 1/2 inch.  I inked that panel at the top with blue ink.

Next I added the birch trees first (behind the sky panel) and then added the Evergreen Sky Panel on top of that.  I added the bird with foam tape.  The sentiment is from the Birthday Chic stamp set, heat embossed in white on navy card stock.  I trimmed it down and popped it up on foam tape, then added some blue jewels to finish off my card.  Here's one last look:

I just love that little bird and the nest too!  I hope you like my card for today!  Be sure to check out all the wonderful goodies available from Memory Box.  Thanks for stopping by!

Spellbinders New "Just Sayin" Collection Cards

Hello and welcome!  I have 5 cards for you today using the latest release called "Just Sayin" collection designed by Kelly Bangs.  I have affiliate links on this post in case you want to see and/or purchase any of the supplies I used.  These links are a courtesy and are available at no extra cost to you, it just supports my crafty work.  Thanks for your support!

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/nqx6kdm

Here's a close up look at my first card.  Look carefully and you can see the dry embossed "Bold Florals" embossing folder patterns.  I used metallic rub-ons with my finger to accent the raised parts of the embossed panel.  Next I cut it with the "Pierced Heart" die and cut the outline from white.  I placed all the pieces of the heart on the white outline one and glued them down.  Next I added white dots with a gel pen to all the edges.



I cut a cute piece of paper from the 12 X 12 "Just Sayin" paper pack - the one with all the word bubbles to 5" by 7" for a larger card.  I added it to the card base, and then popped up the heart on foam tape.  Next, I added 3 of the chipboard pieces from the "Just Sayin" chipboard pack to the heart to complete my card.  Here's one last look:



Okay, now on to card #2:

For this card I used the left over embossed piece that I cut the first card's heart from.  I embossed a white panel and then added the blue parts on the top and bottom to give the appearance of a white heart.  This card is 4.25" by 5.5" so the heart is a little to big for this size so I trimmed the panel down to fit my card base.  I added blue alcohol marker dots along the edge of the heart and then added 2 of the chipboard pieces from the pack to the center of the card.  Here's a closer look:

And here's one last look:



Now for my next card, I used another paper from the paper pack - it is gorgeous with these beautiul flowers on it.  I just love this color combo!

I used 2 of the biggest hearts from the "Essential Hearts" die set to cut from the paper and then added the smaller heart in the opening, leaving a white frame.  The center heart is stacked on 3 other white ones for dimension and then popped up on foam tape. The get well soon sentiment is from the "Curved Everyday Sentiments" glimmer foil plate and coordinating die set.  Here's a close up look:



Isn't that paper gorgeous?

Here's one last look:

The last card is made with the paper pack and the chipboard pack - no stamping, no embossing, no anything, just ready made products that make cardmaking super fast and quick when you are in a hurry!  Only thing I added was some blue marker stitch lines around the edge.

Here's a closer look:



And here's one last look:

Now for my last card, I embossed the same folder in white, then cut 3 of the heart frames using the 2 larges dies in the "Essential Hearts" die set to make a thick frame.  I also cut a heart out of cardstock to use as a mask to ink inside the heart with Distress Ink in Evergreen Bough, ink pad direct to debossed side - just inside the heart shape on the white embossed panel.  Next I added the thick frame and popped up the sentiment from the same "Curved Everyday Sentiments" glimmer foil plate.

Spellbinders 3D Embosing & Glimmer of the Month

Hello and welcome! I have cards today made with both the February Club 3D embossing folder and Glimmer too! 

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/qyz673x

 Here's a close up look:



I used the the Petite Bow embossing folder on a white card panel and then attached it to my card front.
Next, I foiled the new Spring Canopy and sentiments, and die cut all of them with dies included in the monthly club kit. I used the negative foil to foil the left over foil piece.

I trimmed both leaf panels with the coordinating die and layered them, the negative one on top of the regular one and then added them to the embossed card front. Lastly I added the negative sentiment to the card and that completely my card. Here's another look:



In the photo below you can see some of the foil shine on the right side of the card:



Okay, now on to card 2:



This card was made by foiling 2 times, the Spring Canopy and die cutting with the coordinating die. I also foiled the sentiment. All foiling was done with the new foil that comes in the monthly kit for February called Lavender Petal GLF-044.

The background is a panel made with the same foil as a solid panel.

I added one panel on the top and one on the bottom and then added the flowers that were cut, then colored with markers and put together. I added white gel pen on the flowers after I put them together, then added them to the card front. Here's a closer look:



And here's the last look at my 2nd card:

Okay on to card #3:

This heart card was made with the Essential Hearts die set, plus the same flower set Vivid Blooms, the Ideal Moments Sentiments BetterPress plate and the Petite Bow 3D Embossing folder of the month for February.  Here's a close up look:

To create this card I inked a raspberry panel with ink pad direct to paper for my background.  While it was drying I took my brayer and brayed Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink on the debossed side of the embossing panel then cut it with a heart die, then rubbed the same raspberry ink over the raised bows in the pattern.  I inked the edges of the heart darker and then added flowers that I had cut from watercolored papers I made with several pinks and turquoise Distress Oxide inks using the smooshing method.  (lay down ink on glass mat, spray with water and soak up the mess with watercolor card stock - that's smooshing!)

The sentiment was made with the BetterPress system using the same raspberry ink to press into the soft BetterPress paper.  I matted it on a strip of raspberry card to match the background.  Lastly I added gems to the flower centers and lots of white gel pen all around the card.  Here's one last look:

Okay, here's a look at card #4:

This floral thank you card was made with the same embossing folder, but this time I brayered Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink on the debossed side then cut it down by one inch and matted it on a black panel that was slightly larger.  That panel was glued to the background smooshed watercolor card made with pink Distress Oxide ink.  The flowers were also cut from the watercolored card, then I added colored pencil and white gel pen on them before adhering them to the embossed panel,  Latley I added the sentiment from the same BetterPress plate as card #3.  Here's a closer look:

And here's one last look:

I hope you like my cards for today. Today is the day the club membership is open to new members so all you have to do is go here and sign up! All the details can be found HERE for both the 3D embossing folder and Glimmer monthly clubs.
