Sending Sunshine Just For You -- Spellbinders

Hi, friends!  Today I'm sharing this card that features Spellbinders' beautiful Tassel Flowers and Ladybugs die set.  This is another gorgeous die set in a line designed by Susan Tierney-Cockburn for Spellbinders.

I die cut the yellow and green cardstock with the dies in the Tassel Flowers and Ladybugs die set.  Each of the larger flower layer dies has a number imprinted on it so you will know how many times to die cut that layer.

I added some shading to the die cuts with coordinating green and yellow inks.  Then I watched the instructional YouTube video for assembling this beautiful flower.  These are way easier than you might think!

I die cut the cute little ladybug in the Tassel Flower die set from white cardstock.  I colored it with a red Copic and a black pen.  Then I shaped it with a stylus.

I used my floral shaping tools to shape each layer and then glued all of the pieces together.

Next I embossed white cardstock with the Nature's Botanical Wreath 3D embossing folder (sold out at Spellbinders but available at the link provided and the one below).  I trimmed it to 3-¾" x 5", added foam tape to the back, and adhered it to an A2 card base.

To adhere the Tassel Flower to the card, I used glue and a few small foam squares (behind two of the flowers to prop them up).

The sentiment is one from the La Dolce Vita Sentiments set (currently at clearance price!). I had already pressed it from a previous crafting session and it was left over.  All I needed to do was add a foam strip to the back to adhere it to the card.

These dimensional flower dies are so gorgeous.  If you worry about mailed them, I just save these special cards for hand delivery.  Thanks so very much for stopping by!

Paperwhites and Glass Vase Holiday Card

 Happy Friday!  Today I'm sharing this card full of glorious dimension that features the Paperwhites and Glass Vase die set by Susan Tierney-Cockburn for Spellbinders.

If you've been around a while, you most likely know that I love creating these dimensional flowers!  I created the Paperwhite flowers from 80# Neenah and watched the helpful video that is in the photos of the product.  I left the flowers totally without color and used some Copic markers for the leaves, bulbs, and roots.

I die cut the vase from velum.  As you may know, it can be tricky to adhere velum so the adhesive doesn't show.  I was able to add dots of glue to the back of the stems to adhere it to the vase opening.  But then the bottom of the vase was sticking up.  So I decided to try teeny tiny dots of glue on the roots and put something heavy on it to let it dry.  I was so happy to see that the glue doesn't show at all!

I embossed white cardstock with the gorgeous Norwegian Rosemaling 3D embossing folder and trimmed it to 4" x 5-¼".  After I adhered the embossed piece to an A2 card base I adhered the flower arrangement to the layer.  I used glue and a few foam squares that I placed behind the bulbs.

I added a simple hot foiled sentiment from the Glitter Wishes Hot Foil Plates and Die Set.

I totally love how this card turned out and hope you do too and are inspired to try making your own dimensional flowers!  There are four other sets in this Winter's Grace Garden Collection you can check out by clicking the link below.
