Spellbinders | Happy Mother's Day

Hello there, it was Mother's Day here in the UK on Sunday so I thought I would share the card I made for my mum. She is a fan of the colour black and also of butterflies, so I thought I would combine them for a dramatic but pretty card!

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders My Life In Pictures Etched Die from Spellbinders Raven ColorWheel Cardstock three times. I adhered one to a US A2 sized card base made from Raven Cardstock using Bearly Art Glue and then cut off the excess at the sides with scissors. 

I added a little water to the Pearl Gold paint in the Spellbinders + Yasutomo Water Color Mixing Set and mixed it up a little with a brush. I loaded the brush with the paint and then tapped the brush to splatter it onto the card. Once the paint was dry (did not take long at all), I adhered the other two die cuts on top, lining up with the one underneath to create some dimension.

I took the Spellbinders Ideal Moments Press Plate & Die Set and hot foiled it onto more Raven Cardstock using Spellbinders Champagne Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and then cut down a little further at the sides before adhering to the card with thin foam tape. I adhered two Spellbinders Floral Friendship Butterflies on top and then embellished with Spellbinders Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems to finish.

Hero Arts | Hero Studio April 2025 Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Hero Arts today for a fun blog hop to celebrate the Hero Studio April 2025 release. Out today is the Card Kit of the Month, Stamp & Cut of the Month, Dies of the Month, Layering Stencils of the Month, and Cling of the Month. You can also purchase the Whole Studio which includes all of the kits and a free gift. Today, I am focussing on the Card Kit and Layering Stencils of the Month.   

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

HERO STUDIO CARD KIT OF THE MONTH

I started off my card by die cutting the terrarium base die (although I'm not actually creating a terrarium today, this is the idea of the kit) from the Hero Studio April 2025 Card Kit of the Month twice from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock. On one of the pieces I added a score line towards to the top to create a hinge, I added adhesive to the hinge and adhered it to the back of the other piece to create a top-folding shaped card base. 

I then die cut the foliage, mushrooms, tree stump and flowers from the cardstock that you get in the kit. I used Peridot, Rainforest & Fern for the foliage, Poppy, Alabaster & Fawn for the mushrooms, and Truffle & Fawn for the tree stump. I cut the flowers from Lilac cardstock (not in the kit). I added ink blending to the pieces with Hero Arts Core Inks and then assembled and adhered them using liquid glue. 

I adhered the foliage flat to the card first with liquid glue and the mushrooms, tree stumps and flowers with thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from the kit stamp set onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and adhered to the card. To finish, I embellished with Hero Arts Clear Enamel Dots (which are also in the kit). 

WHAT’S IN THE KIT?

The Hero Studio April 2025 Card Kit of the Month includes:

• 20 Terrarium Fancy Dies

     • Terrarium Clear Stamp Set, 6" x 8"

       • 16 Terrarium Coordinating Dies

       • Clear Hero Enamel Dots

       • 3 Clear Card Panels, 4.25" x 5.5"

       • 9 Sheets of Cardstock, 5.5" x 8.5" (Poppy, Peridot, Rainforest, Alabaster, Fawn, Truffle, Fog, Anchor)

LAYERING STENCILS OF THE MONTH

I started off my card by taking a panel of Hero Arts Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock and one by one, placing the stencils from the Hero Studio April 2025 Layering Stencils of the Month on top, holding them in place with low-tack tape. I added ink blending to the layers with Hero Arts Core Inks and blending brushes. The inks I used are:

Stencil 1 - Paradise Core Ink

Stencil 2 - Bermuda Core Ink + a little Indigo Core Ink on the edges

Stencil 3 - Bermuda Core Ink + Indigo Core Ink + a little Nautical Core Ink

I decided not to use stencil 4. This stencil adds in the background but I wanted to keep the white of the cardstock as my background for today. The panel was cut into an arch using the Hero Arts Arches Infinity Dies. I created an arch shaped card base like I did for the first card and adhered the stencilled panel on top with thin foam tape. 

I stamped the Hero Arts Everyday Sentiments Strips Stamp onto Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into strips using the Hero Arts Sentiment Strips Fancy Dies and two were adhered to the card using thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Arts Neutrals Enamel Dots. 

WHAT’S IN THE KIT?

The Hero Studio April 2025 Layering Stencils of the Month has four stencils in the kit that layer up to create a jungle background.

Spellbinders | Little Smiles

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing three cards using the adorable Little Smiles collection. This collection is definitely aimed at children but I do think it can be used for lots of different occasions too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

The peek above uses the Spellbinders Swinging Among The Stars Etched Dies. The basket can actually swing from side to side if you want to! I popped the adorable elephant inside the basket and created the background using the Falling Stars BetterPress Plate, which I hot foiled. I added ink blending using Distress Oxide Inks for a night-time sky. The sentiment, from the Spellbinders Little Smiles Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set, was hot foiled also.

Alex Syberia Designs | March 2025 BetterPress Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Alex Syberia Designs today to celebrate the release of their new BetterPress products with a fun blog hop. 

Whilst press plates can be hot foiled, I decided to press them for all three of my projects today. For the two background plates, I did re-ink my ink pad each time to try and get the best impression possible. I find this really helpful when using plates with solid parts of the image. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

CHARMING FLORAL BACKGROUND + CLASSIC SENTIMENTS

For my first project, I started off by pressing the Alex Syberia Designs Charming Floral Background Press Plate onto Spellbinders BetterPress A7 Porcelain Cotton Card with Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink using the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System and Spellbinders Platinum Six. 

I then took the Alex Syberia Designs Charming Floral Background Stencils and placed the first one over the top of the panel, holding in place with low-tack tape. Using blending brushes, I blended Altenew Bubblegum Dreams Fresh Dye Inks on top for the petals. I used the 3 lightest shades and then for some added depth, blended a little Altenew Midnight Violet Fresh Dye Ink on top. 

For the second stencil (the darker areas on the petals) I used Altenew Magenta and Midnight Violet Fresh Dye Inks. For the third stencil (the flower centres), I used Altenew Golden Sunset Fresh Dye Inks (the three lightest shades). I decided not to use stencils four and five, which colour in the leaves. I thought I would keep them white instead for a different look. 

The panel was adhered to a white US A2 sized card base with tape runner adhesive. I then pressed the Alex Syberia Classic Sentiments Press Plate onto Spellbinders BetterPress A7 Porcelain Cotton Card with Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink. It was die cut out using the coordinating die and I adhered the 'thank you' onto the card with foam tape. To finish, I added white gel pen dots. 

ELEGANT BLOOMS + CLASSIC SENTIMENTS

For my second project, I started off by pressing the Alex Syberia Designs Elegant Blooms Press Plate onto Spellbinders BetterPress A7 Porcelain Cotton Card with Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink. I then watercoloured the image using Karin Brushmarker Pro markers, water and a paintbrush. I scribbled a little Magenta to an acrylic block, picked it up with a wet paintbrush and painted it lightly on the flowers.

Once dry, the panel was cut into a tag using the Alex Syberia Designs Signature Tags Dies (one of the largest ones). I took the 'hello' sentiment from the Alex Syberia Classic Sentiments Press Plate that I pressed when making the first card and die cut the die another two times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the pressed one (for added dimension). It was adhered onto the tag using liquid glue. 

I stamped an accompanying sentiment from the Alex Syberia Designs Spring Garden Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut out using the Alex Syberia Designs Spring Garden Die Set and adhered onto the tag using thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Onyx Color Essentials Gems and threaded twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow. 

ABSTRACT FLORAL BACKGROUND

For my last project today, I started off by pressing the Alex Syberia Designs Abstract Floral Background Press Plate onto Spellbinders BetterPress A7 Porcelain Cotton Card with Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink. I watercoloured the flowers using Karin Brushmarker Pro markers (Cerise, Magenta, Red Lilac & Lilac), water and a paintbrush. 

I then die cut the panel using a Spellbinders Essential Arches Etched Die. I cut another from white cardstock and added a score line towards the top to create a hinge. I added adhesive to the hinge and adhered it to the back of the pressed one to create the card base. 

I stamped two sentiments from the Alex Syberia Designs Celebrations Sentiments Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. They were cut into strips and adhered to the card with foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Berry Color Essentials Gems.

Hero Arts | Thinking of You Butterflies

Hello there, I am over on the Hero Arts Blog today sharing a card using the new Spring Whimsy collection. Whilst my card isn't very spring-like, the collection is perfect for spring projects but also for all year round projects too! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by stamping and heat embossing the butterfly from Hero Arts Special Day Butterfly onto vellum and die cut it out using the coordinating die. I then die cut the Hero Arts Butterfly Confetti Fancy Die from Deluxe Smooth White Cardstock and using the positive pieces (the butterflies), I added ink blending to them with Hero Arts Core Inks in rainbow colours. 

They were arranged in a cluster towards the bottom of my card base made from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock and Hero Arts Rounded Rectangle Infinity Dies. The sentiment, from Hero Arts Special Day Butterfly, was stamped and heat embossed and adhered on top. To finish, I added a few Silver Gems.

Spellbinders | Spring Felt Stitch & Create

Hello there, I am delighted to be over on the Spellbinders Blog today sharing two felt plushies that I have made using the Spring Felt Stitch & Create collection by Nichol Spohr. If you are a reader of my blog, you will probably remember that I made some for Christmas/winter at the end of last year. This new collection is for spring and features a bunny and hen. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

Here is a little peek of the bunny I created. She/he is made from the Spellbinders Felt Carrot Companion Etched Dies, along with Spellbinders Merino Wool Felt Sheets in the Holiday and Trend collections. I stitched everything with DMC Floss and any gluing was done with my hot glue gun. The bunny was stuffed with polyester filling. The bunny is quite a bit smaller in size than the winter plushies and oh so cute!

Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine Release Blog Hop Day 1 + Giveaway

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Simon Says Stamp today to celebrate the Rain or Shine release with a fun blog hop (there is more inspiration being shared tomorrow too!). 

They kindly sent me the Farm Life set to play with. I thought it would be perfect to use with masking. I used to make scenes with masking all of the time and then stopped. I remember why I stopped now, it takes ages, but the results are worth the effort I think! 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

For my first project, I went all out and stamped almost all of the animals from the Simon Says Stamp Farm Life Stamp Set onto Altenew Masking Paper. I then fussy cut them out with scissors and created a masking map on scrap paper to see what layout I wanted to use for the images. I then cut my cardstock to size (6" x 3.5").

I placed the masking map inside my Mini MISTI and placed the first image I wanted to stamp (the image that will be the most forward/on top of the others on the card) on top of the image on the map. I closed the MISTI door and then removed the map from the MISTI and brought in the cardstock. I inked up the stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and stamped it onto the cardstock. I removed the mask from the map and placed it on the stamped image. 

I repeated the process multiple times until I stamped all of the animals and the girl. Using a Large Blending Brush, I blended Tim Holtz Peacock Feather Distress Ink around the images. The masks were removed and the images coloured with Copic Markers and Polychromos Pencils (for a little added shading). The colours that I used are listed below the supplies list for reference. I also added Copic Marker dots in the background for added interest. 

The sentiment, from the Simon Says Stamp Farm Life Stamp Set, was stamped in the top right hand corner using Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink. Once the ink was dry, the panel was adhered to a 6" x 3.5" white card base with tape runner adhesive. To finish, I added white gel pen dots in the background. 

For my second project, I wanted to create a tag. I first die cut the largest of the Hero Arts Tag Infinity Dies from white cardstock. I then cut the length of it down slightly to fit the design. I stamped the girl sitting from the Simon Says Stamp Farm Life Stamp Set on top using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. 

I stamped her onto masking paper and fussy cut her out. The mask was placed over the stamped image and then I masked off the bottom part of the tag (below where she is sitting) and added ink blending above for the sky. I used Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers Distress Ink again and a Large Blending Brush. 

I removed the mask from the bottom half of the tag but kept the mask of the girl in place. I then hand drew in the wall using Copic Markers. I removed the mask from the girl and coloured her using Copic Markers (with a little pencil for shading), adding Copic Marker and white gel pen dots to the background. 

I stamped a sentiment from the Simon Says Stamp Farm Life Stamp Set onto black cardstock using Versamark Ink. I applied white embossing powder and heat set. It was cut into strips and adhered to the card with thin foam squares. I cut the eyelet for the tag from black cardstock and adhered that on top. To finish, I added twine through the top of the tag and tied in a bow. 

BLOG HOP:

As mentioned this post is part of a fun, inspirational blog hop with prizes. For the hop, you should have arrived here from Barb Engler. Next on the hop is Charlene Madrid. If you get lost along the way, or want to start the hop from the beginning, please head over to the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

Hero Arts | Floral Window

Hello there, I am delighted to be joining Hero Arts today to celebrate the release of the March collections. There are three new collections releasing today, my card uses the Spring Whimsy collection (although my card isn't very spring-like!). 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off my card by die cutting the Hero Arts Floral Window Layering Die Set (frame) from a 4.25" x 5.5" panel of Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock. I removed the inside piece and set the panel aside while I worked on the background. 

I took a panel of watercolour paper and sprayed Hero Arts Royal Purple + Gold Two-Tone Metallic Spray and Hero Arts Ocean Blue + Gold Two-Tone Metallic Spray on top, spiritizing in water to help the metallic spray move around. I picked up some of the spray by adding in water droplets, letting them sit for a minute and picking the excess ink up with a paper towel. 

I then splattered on Hero Arts White Acrylic Spray and set the panel aside to dry. Once dry, it was adhered to the front of a US A2 sized black card base and the frame piece adhered on top with thin foam tape. I die cut the butterfly from the set, also from Pitch Black Cardstock, and adhered that inside the frame. 

I stamped the sentiment from Hero Arts Everyday Sentiment Strips onto Pitch Black Cardstock using Hero Arts Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. I applied Hero Arts White Detail Embossing Powder and heat set. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card with thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Onyx Color Essentials Gems.

Football Boots

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I made for my nephew for his birthday last year. I don't tend to share the cards that I make for my family because quite often I don't write down what products I used or I simply cannot link to the products that I used because I used my Cricut. I know many of you have electronic die cutting machines though, so I am going to try and share them here more in the future. 

PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. Please see below for my full disclosure.

I started off by cutting the Soccer Cleats by Victor Losev from Cricut Design Space on my Cricut Joy. I cut them from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock and then once cut, I added small pieces of white cardstock behind, for the stripes. I took the MFT Distressed Patterns Stamp Set and using the boots as a guide, stamped the patterns onto the front of a US A2 sized card base using blue inks. 

I will be honest with you, I cannot remember all of the colours of inks that I used but I believe I used Sapphire, Persian Blue & Caribbean Sky from the Altenew Glacier Caves Fresh Dye Ink Collection, Dusk from the Altenew Cool Summer Night Collection, and Aqualicious from the Altenew Sweet Dreams Fresh Dye Ink Collection. 

The football boots where then adhered on top using thin foam tape. I stamped a sentiment from the Mama Elephant Birthday Messages Stamp Set onto white cardstock using Versafine Clair Nocturn Ink. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using more thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Hero Arts Clear Enamel Dots.
