Spellbinders | Through the Meadows Collection

 PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST 

Spellbinders NEW February 2025 Arrivals are NOW available and can be found in the store HERE. Today I'm sharing a card featuring the NEW Through the Meadow Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. Susan shares videos over on the Spellbinders YouTube Channel on how to bring these florals to life. You can find the video for the die I used HERE

Today I'm showcasing Susan's NEW Lavender Mountain Daisy (S2-414). I watched her video and tried my take at creating these beautiful daisies with white card stock and OLO markers. The tools that are in Susan's Garden Ultimate Tool Kit are what brings these flowers to life with the added dimension. I'm still miles away from perfecting the technique but have so much fun practicing.

Crafty Meraki | Congratulations

 PRODUCT LINKS BELOW CONTAIN COMPENSATED AFFILIATE LINKS AT NO COST 

Happy Monday Friends!
 
Today I am wrapping up with my final card featuring Crafty Meraki's January 2025 Release. The next release will be in March. 
 
I love the elegant look of white on white cards especially when foiling is involved along with a touch of embossing for that added texture. Today's card features the NEW All My Love Collection along with a sentiment from the Gilded Expressions Press-Tacular Plate. I think this card is perfect for celebrating a Wedding or Anniversary!

Card Measurements: 
White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2")
White Embossed Panel: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Vellum Strip: 4 1/2" x 1" (wrapped around panel and attached to back)
Congratulations Sentiment: 3 1/4" x 1/2"
 
Helpful Tip: Love using Vellum but hate hiding the adhesive?! Try adding Vellum to your project by wrapping it around it and attach from the back to hide the adhesive. For this card I cut the vellum strip slightly wider and wrapped it around the panel and glued it in the back.
 
Steps to Create Card: 
  • Create White A2 Top Fold Card Base: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2").
  • Cut White Panel measuring: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" and emboss with Swiss Dot Embossing Folder.
  • Hot Foil 2 All My Love florals using All My Love Press-Tacular Plate with Gold Foil on White card stock. Die Cut images out with coordinating die. 
  • Pop Up florals with foam tape and arrange on embossed white panel on the top right and bottom left corners. Trim off anything overhanging. 
  • Wrap Vellum Strip measuring: 4 1/2" x 1" around panel and attach in the back to hide adhesive.
  • Hot Foil "Congratulations" sentiment using Gilded Expressions Press-Tacular Plate with Gold Foil on White card stock. Die cut out with coordinating die. 
  • Assemble card.
  • Embellish with Gold Pearls
