Spellbinders Club Kits Blog Hop

 Hello, welcome at the SPELLBINDERS CLUBS January Blog Hop 

The Spellbinders design team have created gorgeous projects with the January kits to share with you. Please check each blog on the hop for inspiration.

Hopefully you have found your way to me after checking out Jean Manis blog.

For my card I was inspired by the cute sweethearts candy.

These iconic heart shaped candies are perfect to celebrate Valentine and to use in

combination with the January large die set 

I used this color palette to make my own colored cardstock and cut out all the elements.

I used a slightly darker colored cardstock to offset the die cuts.

On the three larger hearts I printed Valentine sayings.

Finally I've added a bundle of flowers and sprigs beneath the yellow heart.

Spellbinders large die of the month January 2021

 Hi and welcome to my blog.

First I would like to wish you a Happy New Year. 

May 2021 bring you lots of  happiness, love, good health and laughter!!!

Today I'm sharing my first project with the Spellbinders large die of the month.

Last year I was a designer for Spellbinders Amazing Paper Grace monthly die set, but this year I'm sharing my inspiration with the large and small die sets.

Today this month's large die set; a slimeline die called "kaleidoscope hearts"

This set has 10 cutting dies and is perfect for your Valentines cards but also 

for wedding/engagement cards.

I made my own cardstock by using this color scheme.

With photoshop I've created the colored cardstock I wanted to use in my card.

I die cut all the pieces, the larger panel is die cut twice, once in light pink the other in a darker 

pink to offset the pieces for a more whimsical look.

Just look at those adorable little flowers and leaves! They are super cute.

I made the sentiment in Word and printed it on pink cardstock.

If you've fallen in love with this die set as I did then please visit the 

Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club for more info.

All other Spellbinders monthly clubs can be found here.

I hope you'll visit me on the 7th when I'm sharing my make using the 

Spellbinders small die set.

Thanks!

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Inspired by stamping Release day 2 blog hop

Welcome to Inspired by Stamping's our first 2017 release! We are so happy you are here. This week Inspired by Stamping is releasing 2 new stamp sets and one sentiment die to their store. All new products are already available in the store! You can visit us by clicking here!

Today is day two of the release and the design team is sharing cards using the new Love die and Love sentiments stamp set. This stamp set has so many good usable sentiments in it.

Here are my two cards.

For the background I used a stencil. On the dark grey card I applied nuvo embelishment mousse on the stencil for more dimension and on the pink card I used grey ink and a sponge dauber on the stencil. The black hearth is cut out of velvet paper.

Hey Chickie

This card is colored using two kinds of media. First the chicken, it's a bugaboo digital stamp which I colored using photoshop.

I wanted to place her in a chicken coop but I didn't have nor couldn't find the right clip art or coloring page. So I decided to draw it my self. It didn't turn out very bad I think.

After I draw the coop (first in pencil after that with a black marker) I colored it with my spectrum noir markers.

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

catch the bug: sketch challenge

crafty sentiments: anything goes

clear it out challenge: loving you

live laugh stamp: critters and creatures

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day.

Hugs, Henriette

LOVE

Today's cards have a love theme. I used my new stamps from stamplorations,
dee's artsy impressions: frames and flowers and The Bee's kneees: Rosebuds.

My first card is a round one.

I stamped the roses, leaves, hearts and butterflies and added a love word die cut. 

The other card using the rosebuds stamp set  is more CAS. I also added the love die cut.

I do love the colors on this card with the red, light blue and silver.

The sentiment is a stamp from mama elephant: in my heart.
