Winter Pine Cone Card - Spellbinders Layered Kaleidoscope Die


Wonderful Options Using Layered Dies from Spellbinders

Continuing the magical wonder of the layered die, Spellbinders has introducing a new die to add to the collection.  Oh the options and intrigue one can create with these dies.  This is the Kaleidoscope Petals Etched Die. This is also the prefect compliment and addition to the Large Die of the Month for December, the Kaleidoscope Trio Strips and Borders.

My card uses the petals as frosty winter pine cones.  
The image below shows the die designs with various shades of blue.  The darker shades indicate layering.

The base layer here is the silver.  I really had to play around with the layers to decide which I preferred.  Oh the choices - fun for a paper person.  

The glittered silver became the base layer because I wanted to keep the glitter look to a minimum with only accents of frosty appeal.  

The paper used on this card is Ciao Bella - Time For Home 12x12 Paper.  The winter scenes in this collection are peaceful and delightful.  One of those collections that's difficult to cut apart and yet needs to be displayed on projects for others to enjoy.

Vintage Snowflake Card (Kaleidoscope Snowflake Die) - Spellbinders Small Die of the Month



Vintage Snowflakes - Spellbinders Small Die of the Month 

  Spellbinders Small Die of the Month for November is helping us get organized for Christmas, the upcoming holiday season and even into the new year, with a beautiful vintage snowflake design. 
Below is an artistic image of the Kaleidoscope Snowflake die.

The Kaleidoscope Snowflake set is great for creating layered depth and interest on cards and projects.  I have three layers here - a white top layer, a frost blue middle layer and rich dark chocolate base layer.   





The paper collection is Ciao Bella - Time For Home 12x12 Paper with it's frosty imagery and peaceful winter beauty.   

I did some fussy cutting of the birdhouse and Blue Jay's for more embellishing.

After assembling the card, I dabbed some cool glitter paste  - UNICORN PASTE (glitter paste)-
here and there to resemble ice crystals on the snowflake. 
 This is a fun and interesting product having the thickness of paste but with chunky mica-like glitter flakes.

Summer Beach Cards and Shakers -Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore

Traditional and Shaker Style Summer Cards

Hi friends.  I'd like to share some cards with a warm beach theme featuring products from Creative Embellishments and Buttons Galore and More.  
Sunshine in a card. 

   Creative Embellishments has some fabulous shells and beach related chipboard designs to help make summer card creating super easy.  

Here are the chipboard pieces I used on the cards featured today:

My first card is a shaker.  
When creating a card, I am always envisioning the person who will receive the card.  When the card is a shaker, I know the reaction is going to be one of joy and amusement. 

It's impossible to have a shaker card without the shaker mix, right?  While doing some on-line shopping, I came across a very unique company that specializes in blending the perfect shaker mix. 
yep, true.  

As far as  shaker mixes, Buttons Galore and More  has a rainbow of colors and a variety of options to make you smile from ear to ear.  The magic is in the mix.  

The product I used on this shaker is called Sparkletz - with some gems, beads, unique sequins, acrylic droplets and more.  




My chipboard treatments are minimal - meaning I kept things easy and didn't spend too much time altering the chipboard.  I dabbed the chipboard, Starfish and Sand Dollars
Sea Shells and Fancy Rectangle Frame with white acrylic paint, making sure to leave some of the natural chipboard color showing.

Here are the papers I used on the cards today.  
The papers used on this collection are from Ciao Bella - Summer Tales collection.

The second card features some of my favorite sun loving birds - the flamingo.  I recently saw some flamingos in person and was captivated by their grace.  
I was equally captivated by the watercolor effect papers by Alexandra Renke.
