Solved a Mystery Mini Slimline Fandom Card

Saturday, November 9, 2024

Happy Fandom Friday-ish! This week was a bit of a doozy - from our Girl Scout Bronze Award Ceremony, an audit at work, Girl Scout Night at the Ducks game and needing to sleep... I should probably think of a more clever name than Fandom Friday for those days they go up on Saturday. But besides that, I have a cutie min slimline card to share with you today! I just love these adorable images from CC Designs and as I was trying to decide what to make, I saw them looking at me, begging to be colored!

You can check out my video down below for all the details of coloring in these images and how I made my background. I chose colors and a stencil that I thought reminded me the most of this gang's iconic mystery vehicle and I really just love how this card turned out!

I was watching a replay of Craft Roulette while I was making this card, and it ended up working (at least I think so) perfectly for the parameters this week. I have a card that thanks a helper by saying "you're the best," I'm using a rainbow of colors just like Lucky Charms cereal, I have tropical jungle colored/stenciled flowers in my background, and I used a cardstock called paper bag for the background and sentiment! You'll have to let me know if you think I did a good job of the parameters in the comments.

Enchanted Forest Birthday Card with Scrapbook.com

Thursday, November 7, 2024

Fall birthdays are some of my favorite cards to make and the Enchanted Forest stamp and die set from Scrapbook.com made this card so cute! I started with stamping my bear and fox with an alcohol friendly ink and colored them in (except their accessories) with alcohol markers. Using the coordinating dies, I cut them out as well as a few other images and the card's sentiment from different patterns in the Woodland paper pad.

On one sheet of patterned paper, I added two Spring Flowers rub-ons in gold and used the Spring Flowers stencil to blend on some Sauna ink to be the middles of the flowers. I used an arch to cut it out and layered all of my elements together. I added the die cut accessories to the stamped images - I think the paper piecing looks so cute with the stamped and colored critters! After my card as assembled, I added white highlights and some Pops of Color of some extra shine.

I hope you like my take using this newer stamp & die set - what critter is your favorite from this new product collection?

November 2024 Club Kits - 2 Card Ideas

Tuesday, November 5, 2024

Look, friends! I have my November Club projects and it's the first week of the month. Hah! I'm pretty proud of myself for making two more projects (my first was during my live on YouTube) using products from the November 2024 Spellbinders Clubs. You can watch my video below to see how I created these cards. My first card is the Best Wishes Sloth and second I create the Rainbow Hooray card!

I used most of the Clubs I receive as a Spellbinders Influencer for the first card: Clear Stamp & Die, Small Die, Stitching Die, Stencil, Embossing Folder and 3D Embossing Folder. I went with a blue and teal color scheme and that cute sloth just makes me so happy! For the second card, I used the BetterPress Club with lots of inks to create the rainbow paint swatches and then foiled the sentiments with white on black cardstock to really pop off the card.

Let me know which of the three cards I made using the Clubs are your favorite! Which Clubs are you most excited for this month?

Amaryllis Christmas Cards with Spellbinders

Monday, November 4, 2024

I have two cards to share with you today! I'm using products form the Spellbinders Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula to create two Christmas cards. There are beautiful florals with these products and I used the latest Show Us Your SheetLoad sketch from Call Me Crafty Al for my layouts. The card on the left is a BetterPress background and I used the coordinating stencils to color the background in. I followed the sketch to add three strips to the left that have been embossed with pine leaves. Both sentiments of the cards are BetterPress sentiments and I just love the mix of fonts.

The second card has a pretty tone on tone look with the 3D embossed background and gold strips and die cut floral images. I die cut the florals twice - once out gold and once in white cardstock. Before piecing in the white pieces, I used ink t create a pink look to the petals I used the shadow die out of vellum to be able to glue the flower's gold frame and then added in the now pink petals. I hope you like how I used these new products and how I tweaked the SUYS sketch for this month!

It's Your Day, Milk It! Strawberry Cows with The Sassy Club

Sunday, November 3, 2024

Happy Sassy Sunday, friends! I've been re-working my schedule and I'm going to be moving Sassy Sundays to Sassy Saturdays - just not this week. I'm trying to work in some breaks in my schedule - twice a week I'll take a break of posting to help with pacing out my projects and really just myself. But we can talk about that during a future video when I run out of things to talk about while I'm coloring, hah!

My card this week is using products from The Sassy Club for Craft Roulette! I'm using adorable stamps that I colored in with Olo Markers and dies to create my strawberry milk and it pouring into a bowl. Now, why it's going into a bowl? I don't know, I guess this person likes strawberry milk. I honestly don't know why I didn't do a cup - but it's too late now and it's still cute!

The milk carton is probably my favorite thing on the card and it's really just a simple layout. One of the parameters this week was the project had to be interactive, so I followed the CR guest by making one of my cows a wobbler! Let me know how you think I did with my card and if I meet the parameters of Craft Roulette.

For the Swifties! Three Cards with Spellbinders

Saturday, November 2, 2024

Happy Fandom Friday on a Saturday! I ended up making THREE cards for my video today, so it took me a little longer than normal so I need the extra time to get this edited and up this weekend. I am making Taylor Swift inspired cards - three different albums inspired my projects and I'm using stamps, dies, press plates and hot foil plates from new Spellbinders Collections: Beads of Friendship and Shine Bright.

The three albums that inspired my cards are Lover, Reputation and Speak Now - definitely leaned into the color schemes for these albums and you can watch my video down below to see the process for each card. For Lover, I just absolutely love the heart hands and foiling on shimmery paper. I think the design looks so fun and is the perfect bestie card. Reputation has silver, black, white and grey with a pop of red from the bracelets. I used one of the songs from the album to add a sentiment to the bracelets.

Speak Now is my favorite of the three cards! I love all the purple and white on white background. I used an embossing folder to give the panel some dimension and did a mix of foiling, ink and Astro Paste for the disco balls. I also used a song title to add a word to the bracelets. I hope these cards bring a smile to your face today! Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments.

Birthday Turtle with Spellbinders November 2024 Clubs

Friday, November 1, 2024

Today was the best day of the month! I love the first of the months because I get to craft live with a few of my crafty friends who are also Spellbinders Clubs Influencers. I had to miss a couple over the Summer and last month everyone was a bit too busy, but it was so nice crafting and chatting with them today. I also love that more crafty friends can chime in through the chat so we get to all just have some fun to start the month.

For my card, I focused on the Stitching Club where I made a teal frame with white Diamant Metallic Thread. I also brought in the Small Die Club (cute turtle with balloons), Clear Stamp & Die Club (sentiment), Stencil, and Embossing Folder (background). The background was also die cut with one of the stitched rectangles from the Stitching Club.

I just love how everyone's projects turned out and can't wait to create more to share with you early next week. Let me know which Clubs you're getting this month! You can click the link below to get an overview of all of the Clubs this month.
