    Metamorphosis Collection Cards & Tag Ideas

    February 23, 2023 / No Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the Metamorphosis Collection by Simon Hurley. This is a wonderful collection that is perfect for cards, tags, scrapbook/art journals and so much more! I have two cards to share with you today, as well as a tag. HELLO I am using the In Bloom set for my first card, which is such a pretty layering floral die set. I die-cut the flower petals from Glacier, Raindrop, and Cosmic Sky Cardstock. I then cut the centers from Chamomile and the leaves and stem from Peridot Cardstock. All of the layers were ink blended on the edges using Distress Inks and then…

    Hello there, Michelle Short here to share some inspiration using the new Celebrate the Season Collection. This is a wonderful collection of dies, stamps, hot foil plates, and embossing folders perfect for the holiday season. WINTER SLED CARD For my first card, I started off by die-cutting the elements from Winter Welcome Sled. This set is so fun to put together! The sled can be used on its own but paired with the ice skates it makes for a fun winter card. I adhered the pieces of the sled and ice skates, first and adhered them together using Bearly Art Glue. The sled adhered to an A2 white card base…

    Hi again, this is Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of projects using the May Embossing Folder of the Month Kit from Spellbinders. With its pretty and versatile pattern, the Faux Stitch Embossing Folder is one you’ll reach for over and over again to add subtle texture to all kinds of card projects. Tiny Sunbursts Although it mimics one of the beautiful patterns in many of the Spellbinders stitching dies, the Faux Stitch Embossing Folder also reminded me of tiny sunbursts.
