    Wax Seal Cards Ideas with Sealed For Spring and Marie Heiderscheit

    February 7, 2023 / 3 Comments

    Hello, crafty friends! I’m Marie Heiderscheit and I blog and share my creations at Marie Nicole Designs. Today I’m sharing three ways to use the new Sealed For Spring collection in your own cardmaking. I absolutely love wax seals, and these new ones are so pretty! You can use wax seals to seal your envelopes as well as making fun embellishments to add right to your cards. Let’s take a look! WONDERFUL FLORALS For my first card, I used some inks to ink blend a pinkish background. Then, I cut the Sealed Birds die from white cardstock and glued it over my ink-blended background, creating a pattern. I wanted my…

    For my first card, I used the stitched ornament etched dies. First, I die-cut the stitched ornament from Poppy Field cardstock.  Then, I used some gold metallic thread to stitch through the die-cut holes.  Once I finished stitching, I die-cut the detail piece for the ornament from brushed gold cardstock two times.  I glued them to the top and bottom of the ornament.

    Hi crafty friends! Lea Lawson here today to share a card set featuring the new products from Yana’s Blooming Birthday collection. This is such a gorgeous collection of Glimmer Hot Foil plates and coordinating dies. Let’s take a look at how I created these cards! I started by working on foiling the backgrounds to 4.25” x 5.5” panels of heavyweight watercolor paper with my Glimmer Hot Foil System.

These cards feature some gorgeous plates and dies from the brand-new Yana’s Blooming Birthday Collection! For these cards, I used hot foil on a background with lots of white space (my fav!) and a subtle wash of color – a combination of pink and green that I think complements the gold hue of the foil pretty nicely!
