Walk in Faith - Expressions of Faith Collection by Spellbinders

 

Expressions of Faith from Spellbinders

This year has been especially difficult and isolating.  Do you know someone who needs some uplifting, comforting and support?  Spellbinders has the perfect die collection to help express your support in a faith based way.  

Introducing the Expressions of Faith Collection: 

 Kaleidoscope Cross Etched Dies from Expressions of Faith and Spellbinders Faith Glimmer Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Expressions of Faith

 

The sentiment "Walk in Faith"  was made using Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System with Matte Silver Hot Foil.  

There are a number of beautiful sentiments in the collection that can apply to so many occasions from condolence to encouragement: 

God is Love

Walk in His Light 

Faith, Love, Hope

He has Risen 

The Kaleidoscope Cross Dies have been accented with another new collection from Spellbinders called Susan's Autumn Flora designed by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.  I'm using Autumn Hydrangea from Susan's Autumn Flora.

  I opted for the traditional autumn hydrangea look, but I am excited to play with some color combos in the floral arrangement.  

Here are some of the other gorgeous floral dies available in Susan's Autumn Flora collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn exclusively for Spellbinders.

Merry Stitching - Floral Christmas Card with Spellbinders

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for November is very unique and has an added twist...offering fabulous options for creativity. This month the die is perfect for adding stitching to your projects.  

No need to be a stitch master because the holes are already cut for you, making the stitching a snap if you are inspired to sew.    

I paired the Large Die of the Month with Spellbinders Autumn Hydrangea Etched Dies from Susan's Autumn Flora by Susan Tierney-Cockburn.  I adore hydrangeas and have some beautiful bushes in my yard.  When I saw this die set, I was overjoyed.  

 

I used gold metallic jewelers thread on the snowflakes because I wanted a bit of shine to the card.  I started with embroidery thread, and it was lovely, but not the look I had in my mind. Know what I mean? yeah I know you do.  

 Next, that hydrangea die set designed by Susan Tierney-Cockburn...oh my goodness what fun that was to use.  I opted for the traditional autumn hydrangea look, but I am excited to play with some color combos in the floral arrangement.

DIY Elegant Card Ideas Using Lemoncraft

DIY Easy Instructions

Hello. I'm here today to share some projects using a few collections from Lemoncraft.  The first project is a wedding card using the delicate and graceful Lemoncraft collection called 'House of Roses'.   The second project is an 8x8 layout using the 'Christmas Greetings' and 'House of Roses' collections.   

First up is the card.  So let me show you the wedding card I created first.  I really love the Lemoncraft 'House or Roses ' collection. It is perfect for romantic wedding cards.   The beautiful rose on the heart is from the Lemoncraft 'House of Roses Labels 2 - Vintage labels'.

DIY Step By Step Instructions 

I will share my simple DIY instructions so you can see the steps taken to make this card.  

Step 1.  I am creating a card that is sized 5in x 6.5 in.   You can fold your own card base or use a pre-folded card.  I used a pre-folded ivory card base.

To build the base of my card, I selected 2 sheets of patterned paper for layers from Lemoncraft House of Roses  - Time Flies 6x6 paper pad and one sheet of ivory cardstock.  I also punched a decorative border from sheet of the 6x6 Lemoncraft pad. 

I lightly ink all edges for definition and glue the paper layers to the cardstock as desired.  I set the punched border aside for  use in step 2.  

Step 2.  I created an ornate strip for the card.  The four layers as follows from top to bottom ( with paper edges gently inked):

 Top layer 1 -  I selected a piece from the 6x6 paper pad with delicate florals.  I cut a strip about two inches wide - or wide enough to include the beautiful floral images.

Layer 2 - The border punch from step 1

Layer 3 - 1/4 inch paper strip

Bottom Layer 4 - lace

Step 3.  Attach all decorative layers onto card. 

Step 4. Assemble the embellishments.  Cut out a vintage image from the Lemoncraft Vintage Labels sheet.  Cut or punch a heart shape about 3 inches wide.  Select the flowers.

Ink the edges of everything for consistency - even the flowers.  

Step 5.  Add the embellishments to the card.  I added a piece of cardboard to the back of the heart for added dimension.  

Step 6. Print a card sentiment from computer.   Ink the edges and glue to card.  

And here is another photo of the completed card.  

My second project is an 8x8 layout for my friend's young son.  I wanted to make the page have a little bit of a masculine feel without it being too manly.  I used the greens and neutral colors from the 'Christmas Greetings' Basic paper pad for the border.  

The background is paper from 'House of Roses' Basic paper pad.   I also used some green ribbon from the 'Christmas Greetings' ribbon and lace set.  The family is Irish so the green ribbon was perfect. 

I hope you are also having fun with all the beautiful LemonCraft collections.  

Thank you for stopping by!
