I used a piece of plaid paper from the Anemone Plaid Paper Pack (PP1025) and then added a die cut rectangle of gold mirror paper and a blue watercolor panel - all made with the A2 Rectangle Frames dies (94672).  I added the rectangles and then used a white paint pen to add tiny dots all around the blue panel. I cut the butterflies from white card stock and used ink blenders to color them in green, blue and a dark purple for the bodies.  I stamped the sentiment in dark turquoise ink and then added Glossy Accents on top of it.  Lastly I added the butterflies and then some blue gems from the Christmas Fairy Dewdrops (ddp-101) onto the gold edge.  Here's one last look at my card:

You're a True Friend & Many Thanks with Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month

 




Hello and welcome, I have another look at cards today featuring the brand new BetterPress club of the month from Spellbinders for March 2025!  Here's the name and catalog number. 

BPOM-MAR25:  Quilted Memories


For this card I used only the BetterPress of the month Quilted Memories, but instead of using my BetterPress, I used my Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine and dry embossed the cotton panel.  I inked the plate before sending it through my machine and did the same with the sentiment.  I added tiny turquoise gems in the centers and matted the sentiment on a strip of turquoise card stock.



And for my last card I used the heart die set (linked below), green ink with my BetterPress plate and the cotton card stock for a pretty letterpress look.  I cut the heart out and only colored that section with alcohol markers, added gems in the centers and then outlined the heart with the same turquoise market to make it pop.  The heart is also popped up on foam tape for dimension.

Another Look at the Spellbinders March 2025 3D Embossing Folder

 


Hello and welcome, I have lot of cards today featuring the brand new 3D embossing.

3EOM-MAR25: Floral Fence of Togetherness 3D embossing folder 

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/0753ezl

To create my first card I used a brayer and Saltwater Taffy Distress ink on the debossed side of the 3D embossing folder (Floral Fence of Togetherness) and then cut parts of it out, with scissors and the Essential Hearts die set.  I used rectangle dies to create my background with a pretty turquoise paper from my stash.  The sentiment is from the Glimmer foil of the month which has beautiful sentiments for Dad and Mom and Mum.  After assembling the card I added some blue dot from my stash.






For my next card I used the same embossing folder but instead of inking before on the debossed side, I did it after the dry embossing was done.  I used same heart die set and BetterPress sentiment set and dots from my stash to complete this card.  The inks I used were:  Distress Oxide in Mustard Seed and Picked Raspberry.









This next card is a slimline card and I inked the debossed side with a heavy amount of Saltwater Taffy Distess Oxide ink, then trimmed the panel down and added sentiments from the same Glimmer set.

I stamped and cut the butterflies from Hello Butterfly stamp and die set CL5289 on to watercolor card that I smooshed pink and orange distress inks on, and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.  I also stamped the sentiments and cut them too.  I dry embossed the background with the Spiral Delight 3D embossing folder EF1033.  I added the butterflies to the card front with foam tape, and cut off the excess hanging off the edges.  Lastly I added pretty jewels to the butterfly''s bodies.  Here's one last look:

Spellbinders Little Smiles Release Cards

 

Hello and welcome, I have 3 cards for you today featuring the newly released "Little Smiles" Collection!

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/43ejld6

Go Kart Go S4-1400
BP-210 Little Smiles Sentiments
S5-669 Swing Among the Stars
BP-262 Falling Stars
E3D-120 Wishing Stars

Here's a closer look at my card:



I dry embossed the 3D folder on watercolor paper after apply light blue ink with a brayer on the debossed side of the folder and ran it through my machine.  I tore it and added it to the top of a piece of A2 dark blue card stock.  I cut all the pieces from the Go Kart Go set from different colors of papers and glued them together, and then put the car/critter on the bottom left corner and the balloon characters coming from the car to the starry sky.


The sentiment was made with the same blue ink on the Little Smiles Sentiments BetterPress plate and the BetterPress system with my Platinum 6 machine.  I added white paint pen on the bottom of the card front.  I added the blue panel to a card base and my card was complete.

Here's one last look:



My second card was made the same way with the Swing Among the Stars die set and used another sentiment from the BetterPress plate set.


The only difference in these die cuts is I inked the edged of them in a little darker ink than the cardstock color.  The background for this card was made with the BetterPress Falling Stars plate, inked with 3 different color inks before running it through my BetterPress System in my Platinum 6.

Here's a close up look:


I just love the little basket, hippo and smiling star!  There's also a bunny in both of the sets, along with the monkey in the Go Kart Go set and a bunny is also in this set, Swing Among the Stars.  I also cut extra blue sentiment strips to outline the sentiment so it would show up better on the white background.


Here's my 3rd card:


This card background was made with both the 3D embossing folder and the BetterPress plate star plates.  I also used the January 3D embossing folder for behind the car.  The sentiment was from the same set as other cards and also the clouds.  For fun I added tiny hearts coming out of the back of the car like exhaust!

Here's one last look:
