Spellbinders Rosy Summer Flowers

Hi Everybody,
This large and pretty bloom is from Spellbinders and it comes in two parts.

The outer die cuts the solid layer and the inner one gives you the shape and petals to your flower.

I have coloured mine with Copics to add shading to the leaves and petals.

I have added them to a Letterpressed background created with my own Sunburst Embossing Folder which is new to the 6x6 Collection from 
Card Making Magic

I have added in a frame made with the Nesting Circles and Quatrefoil Trellis and topped it all with the Birthday Sentiment.

Nuvo Crystal Drops have tied everything together and I am quite happy with the result to my 6x6 top folded card

More tomorrow ...

Simon Says Stamp - Good Vibes - Debra

Hi Everybody,

A brand new release was added to Simon Says Stamp and this lovely die is Debra from the Good Vibes Collection

For this card I have inked the background and the video will show you how it was created

I have used the "With Love" sentiment form my 6x6 box dies to add to the front.


For this one I used the "Create" from Spellbinders Etched Dies to show that you can make cards for any occasion simply by adding a stacked sentiment.

And also that any dies will play nicely with dies from other companies that you may have in your own personal collections

6x6 Collection Fancy Nesting Circles

Hi Everybody,

Today's card is created in soft pastel colours using the 6x6 Complete Card & Box die set.

I have teamed it with the Nesting Circles to give me a lovely combination for a wedding card




The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the added sparkle with the glitter makes them extra special.  

You could make the card for any occasion and alter the colour scheme to suit your recipient.



The 6x6 Collection is such a useful size to have and the added new shapes give you the option to decorate as much or as little as you prefer

But for me it has to be Flowers, Ribbons and Pearls for a really special card
