Ears To A Wonderful Spring! Spellbinders February Club Kits

Hello friends!  Now that it's February it is time for new Spellbinders' Club Kits!  Today I'm sharing my sweet card that features two of the new kits!  I am using the 3D Embossing Folder of The Month--Shady Leaves, and the Clear Stamp & Die of The Month--Ears to Spring.

The Clear Stamp & Die of The Month, Ears To Spring, is the most adorable image!  I managed to use all of the images on my card.

You can color these images with Copic markers like I did, or you could use watercolors, pencils, heat embossing too!  There are dies included with the Ears To Spring set to cut out each image, as well as each sentiment.

I die cut the layer for the image with an Essential Arches die.  This allowed me to show more of the beautiful 3D Embossing Folder of The Month,  Shady Leaves!  You get so much texture from this 3D embossing folder.  I love that this type of embossing folder is general enough to use for many occasions!

I stamped and die cut one of the nine sentiments included with the Ears To Spring set.  Not all of the sentiments are Easter themed.  Seven of the nine sentiments are more general and will work for your springtime cards.

I sure appreciate you stopping by today!  Have a good one!

Thinking of You Card -- Sunflower Serenade

Hello, crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing this card that features Spellbinders' Sunflower Serenade die set!  I added a sentiment that makes this card perfect for many different occasions.

First I die cut the Sunflower Serenade dies from 80# Neenah.  (I die cut two of the flower die.)  I used small ink blending brushes to add some warm golden yellows to the flower petals and two green inks to the leaves and stem.

For extra dimension on the flower, I used a ball stylus from the Ultimate Tool Kit to shape the petals.  Next I glued the flower together and set it aside while I made the frame.

For the frame, I used 80# Neenah and die cut the opening with the 5th largest Essential Arches die.  Then I blended on a warm yellow ink over all of the piece.  Next I placed it into the Flower Frenzy 3D embossing folder and ran it through my Platinum die cutting machine.

To make the embossed detail stand out even more, I added a bit darker warm yellow ink by lightly brushing the details with a blender brush.  I glued the flower onto an A2 card base, and added foam tape to the back of the frame to adhere it to the card.

The sentiment is from the Hummingbird Sentiments set.  I trimmed it into a strip and popped it up with a few foam squares.  It doesn't really show in the photos, but I added some pretty and subtle sparkle with a Wink of Stella glitter pen.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope you're having lots of fun crafty time this weekend!!
