And Many S'More



Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another card using Spellbinders Summer Camp Collection designed by Allison Frazier. 

This time round I created a Slimline Easel card so I had plenty of room to create a scene. This card measures 4 inches x 8 1/2 inches when folded.


I used Lawn Fawn’s Slimline Grassy Hillside die set to add all the grass to the card.



To decorate my card I used the Woodland Trio, Trails End and Camp Days die sets.



I used the sign from the Trails End die set to add my greeting and added the stamped sentiment from the Summertime Sentiments Clear Set.

Summer Camp Scene



Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. For my card today I am sharing a 5 x 7 card using Spellbinders Summer Camp Collection designed by Allison Frazier.

For the background scene I used the Lakeside Memories Stencil set. This stencil is A2 size, and as I wanted to extend it for a 5 x 7 card I was careful how I added ink to the right side. As I messed up the Sky area, I cut off the sky and added a piece of blue cardstock and added clouds & a sun to the area.

To decorate the card I used the Trailside Trio, Splash Days and Trails End die sets.


For the inside of my card I added another tree from the Trails End die set. I also added two sentients using the Summertime Sentiments Clear stamp set.

I adhere this image to a 5 x 7 top folding card to which I added the pink embossed panel, which was embossed using Spellbinders Petite Bows 3D Embossing Folder.


For the inside of the card, I added an older Spellbinders die set for the sentiment.

Donut Circle Cards


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing two donut themed circle cards using stamps & dies from Trinity Stamps.

As I couldn’t decide if I wanted to make a donut with chocolate or pink icing, I decided to make both!



For the base of my card I used Trinity Stamps Circle Card die set which includes dies to create the donut.



I then used the A-Glaz-ing stamp set to add the white icing. The sentiment is also from this stamp set.


Here is a look at the inside of my card, I used more sentiment stamps from the stamp set.

It's Your Birthday

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to my blog. Today I am sharing a floral card using Concord & 9th’s Scalloped Petals die set that I received for my birthday last month.

This die suits a card that is 4 1/4 inch wide card as that is the width of the flower. As I like larger cards than standard A2 size, I kept it 4 1/4 inches but made the height about 6 1/2 inches. This allowed me to add the grass along the bottom of the card.

I used Kristina Werner’s Big Day Birthday stamp set to add the birthday sentiment to the flower.


For the inside, I added another flower to the top of my card and added a sentiment using the Scalloped Petals stamp set.

You're My Fave


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing another fun shaped card. I love shaped cards, and you might have noticed I have made a few recently.

For this card I used Hero Arts Jeans Jacket die set & coordinating stencils. For the front I die cut the pieces for the jacket and assembled them. I then used the stencils to add the details.

I used the Got Flair die set to add the badges & sentiment.


The stencil set, allows you to create the back of the jacket. I love that I could include both the front & back of the shirt/jacket.


For the inside of the card I added two sentiments & another badge.

Happy Father’s Day


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a shaped Father’s Day card using products from Spellbinders March All Clubs Crate. In Australia Father’s Day isn’t until September, but it’s good to get an early start on them.

For the shoes & beer bottle I used the March large die of the month … Classic Kicks. The sentiment is from the Press & Foil set … Greetings Maker.


For the inside of the card, I added another sentiment and two more beer bottles.
