Love You to the Moon and Back - December 2023 BetterPress Plate of the Month

It's the 6th of the month which means it's time for the latest Spellbinders Monthly Clubs! I have a project featuring the BetterPress Plate of the Month and it features a stunning letterpress moon image and different sentiments to pair. The sentiments have their own coordinating dies, too! I'm hopping along with some of my crafty Spellbinders friends on YouTube so make sure to watch the video below over on YouTube so you can get all the details of the hop.

My card features a monochrome look and I added some shine with sequins. This month there have been some changes to the Clubs and there's a new Stencil Club! I'll be changing my own personal subscription around this month to get a few other items I'm excited about. Which Clubs are you getting this month? Let me know in the comments!

Winter Penguin Box Card with Pretty Pink Posh

I am back with a new video using Pretty Pink Posh products today using one of my favorite PPP sets - Penguin Pals Stamp Set. I am coloring them with fun colors and putting them onto a box card! I started with using the Layered Mittens Stencils to add green, blue and purple inks to a light blue piece of cardstock.

After the splatter of metallic watercolor ink dried, I cut the scallop dies from the stenciled set and the box card dies out of a dark blue with the Scallop Box Card Dies. I assembled the box together using my adhesive runner. Next I stamped my images from the Penguin Pals Stamp Set and colored them in with Ohuhu Art Markers, then used the Penguin Pals Coordinating Dies to cut them out.

I added the penguins to my assembled box card and then moved onto the sentiment. I decided to use “Winter” from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Set and used the Coordinating Die to cut it out. I also stamped “Season’s Greetings” from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stap Set. I cut the secondary sentiment with the Sentiment Strips Die Set as well as vellum and the dark blue cardstock. The sentiments were layered together and popped up to the front of the box card.

For final touches, I used the Aqua Shimmer Confetti, Mint Shimmer Confetti, and Purple Shimmer Confetti Mixes to add some shine around the box card. I hope this fun colored box card inspires you today to have some winter fun crafting today!

I'm Too Much! Fandom Shaker Card with The Sassy Club

Getting into the holiday fandom spirit today with my mini slimline shaker card today! I'm using a new stamp set and stencil from The Sassy Club and mini slimline dies from PopsicleSticks. I started with stamping and coloring my two characters from the Hot N Cold set with my Ohuhu Art Makers and I fussy cut them out. I ended up stamping the flames and snowballs later on, but I'm glad I added them as I think it added more and balanced out the card.

Next I started working on my background! I die cut the largest mini slimline die out of mix media paper and used the Fire and Ice Stencil to create a warmer scene with flames on the left (I masked the sides I didn't want to get color on) and icy snow on the right. I used Distress Oxides so the colors would sit on top of each other a little nicer than with dye inks.

To create my shaker frame, I die cut the smallest mini slimline die out of white glitter cardstock and then trimmed out the center leaving a 1/4" border. I added acetate to the back of the frame and then using the background as a guide, I adhered another piece of 1/4" sparkle cardstock to the center divider for my shaker windows. I added foam adhesive to the back of the shaker panel and got it ready to adhere to the stenciled background.

I added some retired Sparkle Blends to each of the areas on the backgrounds to match the theme and then added the shaker panel to close up the shaker mixes. I added this whole card panel to my 3.5x6.5" card base and then stamped my sentiment on a banner die cut (also from Popsicle.Sticks) I added my sentiment, characters and little extras to the card and I just love how it turned out! I hope you like it, too.

Joyful Floral Hello Card with Scrapbook.com

I love this card! My new favorite collection is the Joyful products from Scrapbook.com. There is a stamp set, coordinating die, lots of other word and floral die sets, patterned paper and solid color paper pads. I used almost all of the different products on this one card because I just wanted to use them all! The images and paper remind me so much of stationary I used to collect back in the early 2000s.

My gingham background is A2 in size and adhered to my card base. I trimmed my floral patterned paper to 4x5.5" and adhered it to the center. I then did lots of die cutting - the circle and floral parts from the Joyful die set and the hello sentiment from the Hello Hi Friend die set. I used white cardstock and the Joyful Smooth Cardstock Pad. 

I also stamped some of the images from the Joyful Wishes stamp set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I also stamped my second part of my sentiment and trimmed it with my paper trimmer. I used Glimmer Brushes to add lots of sparkle to my card. I splattered on Coral on my background, Sunshine Yellow the circle die cut and Tan on the lighter pink colored floral die cuts.

Using liquid adhesive and foam strips, I added my circle to the card base and tucked my flowers and leaves to create a wreath look on the card. I also popped up the sentiments and added a few Pops of Color around the wreath as well. I just love how this card turned out - especially with the subtle shine of the Glitter Brush Makers.

Monsterous Birthday Wishes Card with The Sassy Club

Have you seen the latest release from The Sassy Club? There is amazing new Door hot foil plate that has a coordinating stencil to make the coolest backgrounds! Especially with the two new monster fandom stamp sets - Fur You and We Scare. I combined all four of these new products together on today's card! You can follow along with how I made my background and assembled my card in my short video down below.

I started with stamping and coloring all of my images with alcohol markers. Since I had quite a few to cut out, I used my Scan N Cut this time. Next I used hot foil with my Door Hot Foil Plate and my Glimmer Hot Foil System and with different color Distress Inks, I added color to my background with the Door Stencil. For some extra fun, I used Embossing Glaze to add some pink flowers. My images and sentiment are all adhered to my card with foam adhesive. The banner is from a PopsicleSticks die set and stamped with black ink to coordinate with the outline of the doors and images.

These new sets are just the CUTEST and I just love the matching hot foil plate and stencil. I hope you check it out yourself!

Halloween Inspiration with The Rabbit Hole Designs

It's the last day of the month - can you believe it?! November is ending and we're going to be full Christmas mode. But the last day of the month means it's time for some Halloween inspiration! I am using two stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs to create a "meowgical" scene. My video below shows you each of the steps of how I created my background, colored my images and assembled my card.

I used Distress Oxides for my background and used these colors to also inspire the colors for my card when I was coloring my images. These were my first stamps from The Rabbit Hole Designs - have you heard of them before? I've been using the anti-static tool for quite some time now (which is the BEST), but I'm happy to have these new stamps in my catalog of Halloween products!

Scrapbook.com + WOW! Parade - Love You Shaker Card

Today I am participating in a Parade in the Scrapbook.com Project Gallery! For this parade, creators are making projects with WOW! Embossing Powder and I'm excited to share with you what I made. I was gifted the Twinkly Fizz Trio collection, Cotton Candy Glitter, Mixed Media Embossing Brush and the Polished Silver Super Fine that I used on my card today.

I started with picking Scrapbook.com Exclusives that I thought would be fun to use along with these products and I just loved the soft, pastel colors so I went with a Valentine's Day themed card. I die cut the LOVE die three times in white cardstock and glued them all together. Using the Mixed Media Embossing Brush, I embossed the three Twinkly Fizz colors, blending two colors together when I transitioned into a new color.

To make the shaker panel, I used the shadow die for the LOVE on a panel of white cardstock cut to 4x5.25". I also stenciled on hearts with pink ink, added green ink onto the edges of the panel and splattered on green ink as well. I adhered acetate on the back and foam adhesive around the panel opening and on the edges of the card.

I  added the glitter to the center of a piece of A2 purple smooth cardstock and closed up the shaker panel by adding my LOVE panel. This was adhered to an A2 card base and I adhered my embossed LOVE sentiment on top off the acetate. Finally I die cut YOU out of white cardstock and embossed the Polished Silver to the die cut. This was glued to the card front to finish off the card!
