In Focus: Spellbinders August 2023 Release

Hi there friends,

Today I'll show you all the projects I've created with this month's new releases from Spellbinders!

I've worked with 3 new collections: Dancin' Halloween, Envelope of Wonder and Gnome Drive. I love them all so much! There are of course many other new products too, check them out on the Spellbinders website.

I will not go into step by step tutorials here, since I made process videos for all of today's projects - I'll just attach some photos! I'll link the videos down below, after each set of cards. You can also subscribe to my YouTube Channel and press the bell icon so you never miss a new video! You'll find all the supplies I've used linked in the description boxes of the videos.

Without further ado, here are my cards!

Spellbinders March 2021 Club Kits Inspiration Blog Hop

Hi there crafty friends,

It's been a while since I joined one of these blog hops but luckily this month I had a little extra time and I managed to create a card! An interactive one at that :). If you know my work, you know I hardly ever make interactive cards, so this was a fun change of pace, even if I made plenty of mistakes along the way. Maybe you'll learn from them hehe!

If you followed the hop, you must have arrived from Henriëtte van Mierlo's blog. I'm attaching the full list of participants at the end of this post for your convenience.

I've used the Large Die Kit on this card, because I couldn't get enough of these adorable critters! I've made a process video so I won't go into details here. You can stop by my YouTube Channel, if you're interested to see, how this card came together but I'll also link in the video down below.

You can check out the process video here or on my YouTube Channel:

Easter cards - DT project for Fancy Pants Designs

Hi there crafty friends,

Today I'm sharing a few Easter cards with you that I've made for Fancy Pants Designs!

I've used the bright and colorful Take Note collection to create all of these cards. I just love the colors and patterns in this line! I knew I was not going to use embellishments, so the original theme of the collection didn't bother me, the papers were perfect!

I remembered a super adorable cut file the lovely Bea Valint created last year and thought I'd use it on my cards today. I however wanted to make both girl and boy bunnies, so I modified her original cut file to have a boy too (nose and eyelashes). I cut all bunnies from textured white card stock and for the rest of the card I used patterned papers. I cut little flowers for the girls (also part of the cut file) and hand cut a couple of hats for the boys. Plus added little bows for neck tie. I stamped my sentiment using a mini alpha stamp set and added some Nuvo drops to finish off these four cards.

I also wanted to make some more cards where the bunnies' ears are hanging off the card. Basically I've folded a standard A2 size card in half, this way the card still fits in the same sized envelope.

I added a piece of patterned paper to my white card base. I cut some grass with the help of a die and layered two on top of each other using some foam adhesive to create some dimension. I backed the bunny ears and faces with patterned paper, then glued them on the card front and decorated them with flowers and a hat. For my sentiment I used one of the patterned papers in the Take Note collection - I fussy cut out these tiny alphas to create the title. I added some Nuvo drops and done!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Have an awesome day!
