    Good Vibes Only Inspiration | Watercolor Background Cards with Caly

    July 26, 2018 / 4 Comments

    Hi, everyone!  This is Caly Person. Thank you so much for joining me. Today I’m sharing projects from the Good Vibes Only collection by Stephanie Low.  I’ve made two cards  using watercolor backgrounds with two ways to accent the die cuts from this collection. On my first card, I used the Spellbinders Embossing Mat.  I placed the main Crystal Peaks die in the bottom left hand corner and embossed the die onto some watercolor cardstock. Instead of drawing lines for each space, I thought this would be the quickest way for me to paint. I used Daniel Smith watercolor paints on this card and used the following cool colors: Phthalo…

    Hi, everyone!  This is Caly Person.  Thank you so much for joining me. Today I’m sharing projects from the Good Vibes Only collection by Stephanie Low.  I’ve made two cards today using washi tape backgrounds with two ways to accent the die cuts from this collection. On my first card, I covered a 4.25” x 5.5” card panel using the Floral Flurries washi tape by Altenew.  After doing this, I trimmed the panel to 4” x 5.25”.  I centered the Good Vibes Only die over this panel and die cut just the words. I die cut the outline image using plain black paper.  To add some shimmer, I used a…

    Video Friday | Create a Stencil using Die Cuts with Kelly Latevola

    May 25, 2018 / 3 Comments

    Hello Crafters! Today we are trying something a little different with our die cuts. The Lovely Lilac die comes with two dies an outline layer and an intricate flower. I used some left over packaging and the outline die to create my own stencil. I found that placing a piece of cardstock under the die in addition to the plastic packaging gave me the best cut. I used repositionable adhesive on the back of my stencil to hold it in place while I added some color with my distress inks. Once I was done I removed the stencil and started in with my copic markers. I added a drop shadow…

    Hello everyone! This is Kay Miller and I am happy to be back again sharing some fun projects I created with the new Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low. I have two more cards to share with you today showing some fun ways to use bright colored card stock for that extra pop! You can catch cards I shared earlier using this collection here and here. I started with for different colors of card stock; pink, magenta, yellow and orange. I pieced those together and then cut it out at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2, a standard A2 size card. I used the outline die from the Good Vibes…

    Hi, crafty friends! This is Rubeena from A Rare Ruby, and I’m so excited to be a guest on the Spellbinders Blog today. This post is part of a series featuring the Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low! You can find my firs​t two posts here and here. ​ For my first card, I used Rosy Summer Flowers Dies. I die-cut the both dies from watercolor paper and then watercolored them loosely with my Daniel Smith Ultra Fine Watercolors. I wanted to use a non-traditional color for the leaves so I used a dark blue shade. For the background, I did a light wash of gray watercolor on watercolor cardstock…

    Hello everyone! This is Kay Miller and I am excited to be back again sharing some more fun projects I created with the new Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low. You can catch my first post here. Distress inks are a good way to color up your die cuts if you don’t have a large selection of card stock. I have a couple of cards to share with you today showing how you can do that. For my first card, I used the beautiful Wandering Butterflies dies. I cut the background pieces out of Bristol Board card stock. You can use plain card stock as well, I just like…

To begin, I die-cut the large crystal die and the large backer die from watercolor cardstock. I wanted to try some loose watercoloring so I looked on Pinterest for watercolor gems as inspiration. I did not worry too much about the shading and where the light would fall on a crystal, but it is a…
