Bibi’s Hummingbirds Collection

April 10, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of projects using the beautiful Bibi’s Hummingbirds Collection with Spellbinders.

Spellbinders-Bibi's Hummingbirds Collection

My first card features the Hummingbird Card Creator Etched dies. This creates a large humminbird to fit a 5 x 7″ card perfectly. I used a mixture of Concord & 9th cardstock, blending the edges with some ink for a soft gradient look. I stamped a sentiment from the Hummingbird Sentiments Set.

My second card uses the Pop-Up Hummingbird Etched Dies. These dies have the ability to pop-up on the inside of a card, but you can also use them just as beautifully on the front of a card like I did here.

Beautiful Days

April 5, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a couple of project using several new products from the fun, new Beautiful Days release with Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Five Squares, Reverse Sister, Leafy Sprig

My first card features the Five Squares die set. I adhered stirps of solid colored cardstock and then die cut the square on an angle to create the angled striped squares. I layered on a vellum Leafy Sprig die cut with a sentiment from one of the Reverse Sister Sentiment Strips.

My next card uses the Rose-Winged Butterfly die along with a sentiment from the CZ Sisters Forever stamp set.

SSS-Rose-Winged Butterfly, CZ Sisters Forever

When I die cut the Rose-Winged Butterfly into white cardstock, I used the negative die cut as a stencil to blend the color behind the die cut.

April 4, 2023

Folksy Heart

March 31, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a project using the Layered Folksy Heart Stencil Set by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-Layered Folksy Heart

This set comes with four layering stencils. I used a bunch of memo tape to mask off areas so that I could bring in a lot of color. You certainly don’t have to make it so complex, but I do love how this turned out. The tiny detail brushes make this so much easier to get into little areas. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse You Did Sentiment Strips.

Sending you so much love today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Circles

March 30, 2023

Hi there! Every once and a while I crave a simple, graphic design using simple geometric shapes. Today’s project was inspired by the incredible work of Leon Polk Smith.

SSS-Nested Circles, Reverse Grateful

I used the Nested Circles dies to create this inspired pattern. For the sentiment I used one of the Reverse Grateful sentiment strips.

Here’s a short reel showing how I made this card.
