Curlique Plate Happy Birthday with Pigment Powders

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a quick and easy birthday card featuring the "Curlique Plate" on top of a pigment powdered piece of watercolor card stock.  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/zr2p267

Here's an up close look:

I added lots of pigment powders in different colors on watercolor paper, then sprayed it with lots of water.  Once it dried I added the black die cut (Curlique Plate) on top of the dried panel and trimmed with scissors, around the black frame.  I added that to my card base, added the circle sentiment and then used a white paint pen to add highlights on the curliques.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card and will give this technique a try.  It's super fun.  Thanks for stopping by!

Feel Better Soon with Memory Box Dies and Stamps

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here with a pretty framed butterfly get well card!  

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/zr2p2em

Here's another close up look:

The butterfly bodies and the background of both of the "Cherish Scalloped Frames" was made with pigment powders, water sprays all on watercolor paper.  The sentiment is from the new "Hello Butterfly" stamp set, stamped in black ink.  The top layer of the butterflies is cut from white card stock as well as both of the frames.  The butterflies I used are the "Glade Butterfly" and the "Sylvan Butterfly."

I added some gold thread under the smaller frame and after putting all the die cuts on the frame I added the big frame to a large watercolor panel that was made the same way with pigment powders.  To finish my card I added some gold gems.  Here's one last look:

Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month for April 2025

Hello and welcome, I have 3 cards for you today featuring the new Spellbinders BetterPress of the Month plate called "Postage Edge Expression."  Here's a close up look at my first card.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/xl040md

I used a light gray ink on the plates, both frame and script center, then die cut it with the Deckled Rectangle die set, using a larger one for the outside frame and a smaller one for the script.  I put the larger frame on some blue paper then popped the center rectangle in the center.  The sentiment was from the same BetterPress set and it has coordinating die for all 3 of the sentiments in the set.  I used the die to cut 2 extra sentiment pieces for layering above and below the sentiment to make a shadow for it.  Before popping that up on foam tape I added some gold thin twine for accent and then added the gold pearls for more bling.  Here's one last look:



And now on to card #2.  This one was made with the same gray ink for center section of BetterPress, and a dark pink for the postage frame part of the plate set.

I cut a heart from some watercolored card stock I had in my stash and then added gold twine behind it and popped it up on the script section at an angle.  I popped up the sentiment on the heart and added a few gold peals for extra bling.  Here's a close up:

And here's one last view:



Now up is my 3rd card:



This one used on the BetterPress system with green and blue inks.  The blue background is left over from the 1st card and I popped that whole panel up on foam tape.  I did the sentiment the same way with a shadow cut from the sentiment die.  Lastly I added 3 gems on each corner to finish my card.

Here's one last look:

Spellbinders Glimmer of the Month for April 2025 - Scattered Letters

Hello, today I have several cards featuring the brand new Spellbinders Glimmer Club of the Month for April 2025 called "Scattered Letters."

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/xl0pe0d

For my first card I used the April Glimmer 2025 foil "Black" GLF-010 and foiled a white piece of card stock.  I trimmed it down and added to a striped panel, then added that to my card base.  The sentiment is from "Curved Everyday Sentiments" foiled in gold.  Lastly I added 2 red heart sequins from my stash.

Here's another look:

Now for card two, I used a piece of watercolor paper that had yellow and orange Distress Oxide ink smooshed on it to foil the plate in black for the bottom of the card.  The sentiment is from the same Glimmer of the Month April kit, foiled on another strip of the same watercolor paper.  The top half of the card was a white piece of card stock, dry embossed with the glimmer plate, then I ran the same two ink colors over the top of the raised envelope imprints.  

For card 3, I used rainbow foil GLF-042 on a black cardstock panel, then trimmed it down and used a sentiment from the same glimmer of the month set, also foiled in rainbow on a white strip.

For card 4, I used the negative piece of rainbow foil from card 3 to foil a piece of white card stock.  I trimmed it down and added the sentiment that was also foiled with the rainbow foil.

For my last card I foiled the plate on red card stock with Blush foil GLF-026, along with the sentiments from the set.  I also used the blush foil to make a background strip for the red sentiment.  I popped that up on foam tape for dimension.  Here's a close up look at card 5:

Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder March Club - Postage Mosaic

Hello and welcome, today I have 4 card for you made with the Postage Mosaic 3D embossing folder - the Spellbinders 3DEmbossing Folder of the Month Club.  It's a really pretty postage stamp design.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/xl0pe74

My 1st card above was made by embossing a pink panel, inking the debossed side with black ink and trimming down just a portion of the embossed panel.  I popped the panel up on foam tape, added thin striped strips on each side and added a sentiment.

For my next card, I dry embossed the folder on a piece of black card stock, trimmed it down and added metallic paste to the raised areas.  The sentiment is from the April Glimmer of the Month club, dry embossed then I added the paste on top, cut it into a banner and popped it up.

This next card was done the same way, except I fussy cut the stamps out and added them to the slimline card front.  The sentiment is done the same way as above and is from the same Glimmer of the month.

Last card below was made using gold metallic card stock, dry embossing it, trimming out 3 stamps and framing them in black card stock.  The sentiment is foiled and from Curved Everday Sentiments.

Hope you like my cards for today!

Wishing You the Best with Memory Box Cherish Hearts

Hello and welcome, it's Angie here today with a fun clean and simple card made with the new "Cherish Hearts" die set.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/m5lpljr

Here's a closer look at my card:

I made the hearts into balloons and used a sentiment from the "Signature Greetings" stamp set.

The colorful balloons were cut from Yupo paper that I added liquid glue to and then added some gilding flakes and then pigment powder.  First you have to smear the glue around on the paper, which I did with my finger.  You may have to add a little spritz of water on the glue to get it to move smoothly.  Set is off to dry and when it's clear and tacky to the touch, add the gilding flakes with your fingers, then sprinkle pigment powders on top.  Next spritz lightly to get the powder color to move.  You can also use a paint brush to move the color around if you prefer.  After it dries, cut the hearts and back them with black.  Next, stamp the sentiment on the card front.

I glued one heart and popped the others up and use a black marker to make them into balloons.   I love how it turned out!

Here's one last look:

Thank You Pigment Powder Butterflies

Hello and welcome!  I have a fun card made with a couple of butterfly stamps from my stash and pigment powders.

Supplies:  https://ldli.co/e/43enn0r

Here's a close up look:

I used watercolor card stock and priment powders with a spray water bottle to create some shiny, pretty, paper to use to stamp and cut my butterflies.  I wanted something graphic, mixed media type, to stamp behind the butterflies, but I have destashed my craft supply so much, I don't have mixed media stamps anymore!  So I used a small part of an older stamp set by Pinkfresh Studio called "Delicate Wreath" and Nocturne Versafine Clair ink to stamp to small areas where I wanted my butterflies.  I stamped the butterflies and cut them with the coordinating dies and then added them to the card front, only gluing the center of each butterfly so I could fold the wings up a bit.  I added the sentiment with the same black ink and then added gold pearls and white paint pen to the butterflies.  Here's one last look:

I hope you like my card for today!  I had a lot of fun creating it!
