In Focus: Spellbinders Susan's Holiday Flora Collection

Hi there friends,

Here's post Number 2 for today!

I'm sharing a few projects with the new Susan's Holiday Flora collection by Spellbinders! This one was very different for me, and as such, a bit of a challenge! This was the first time I've used flower shaping tools and created more realistic looking 3D flowers. So bear in mind, these are rookie projects haha!

The sets I worked with on my cards are:

• Pinecone and Evergreen Bough with Ladybugs Etched Die Set
• Amaryllis Etched Die Set
• Poinsettia Etched Die Set
• Winter Bough and Evergreen Shrubs Etched Die Set

I have a process video for you at the end of this post, so I'll just leave you with photos here. If you're interested in how these came together, what supplies I've used, please stop by my You Tube channel! All supplies are linked in the description box below the video. 

In the video I'm also showing all the pieces that come in these die sets, plus Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit and her Specialty Cardstock, in case you need to see them up close :)

Here's the video! Be warned that it's my longest video ever, 35 min!

That's it for today guys!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Have great day!

Hi there lovely people,

Today I have two posts for you, because it's release day at Spellbinders and I've worked with two of the new collections! This is the first one, called Add to Cart and it was designed by Becky Roberts. I adore everything in this collection, it's so cleverly designed and you can easily use these dies for any occasions really. I did go with Christmas cards because I will need them for family and friends hehe!

The sets I worked with on my cards are:

• 3D Shopping Cart Etched Die Set
• Shopping Bags Etched Die Set
• Shopping Cart Holiday Presents Etched Die Set

There's two more sets in this collection which I don't have but they are absolutely fantastic and you should definitely check them out:

• Shopping Cart Party On Etched Die Set

Beautiful Day - DT Layout for Paige Evans

Hi there crafty peeps,

I'm stopping by today to share a new layout I've created for the Paige Evans Design Team! I've used the Wonders collection on this page.

I rarely scrap pictures of objects, but I love this photo of the newest DMC floss additions to my collection, the colors are so lovely! Plus, they were my birthday present (to myself haha), so I decided they deserve their own scrapbook page!

My idea was to recreate the colors of the floss on the right side of this beautiful floral heart cut file. 

• Flower Heart Cut File (Design ID: 222462)

Paper 15 has all kinds of color stripes, so I cut it apart and pulled out the colors I needed. I was going to place the photo over this colorful section, but it didn't quite work the way I imagined, so I gave up on that idea.

I was then kind of stuck, because I never plan with the embellishments - I think I already mentioned this. So, I didn't have any idea how to finish my page ha! That's when flowers come in handy. They just work with anything in my opinion. I picked a few that matched my colors and started tucking them under my photo. It's a pity that I covered up that gorgeous cut file, really!

I didn't add a whole lot of embellishments, I layered a couple of die cuts behind my photo, I placed a sticker on top and a few of those colorful scallop chipboards in the top right corner of the page.  To finish off my layout, I stamped my date and added my journaling.

I do have a process video for you, too:

That's it folks!

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!
