    Flower Garden Inspiration | Soft Floral Cards with Zsoka

    March 10, 2018 / 1 Comment

    Hi there crafty friends, Zsoka with you today with my third and last blog post using products from the Sharyn Sowell Flower Garden collection. If you missed my previous posts, you can find them here and here. I’ve really enjoyed working with these lovely products! I just love flowers above anything and because I only have a son, I can’t go all girly on my scrapbook pages most of the time! So I love that with cards I can do whatever I want! For my first card today I picked the gorgeous Dimensional Floral Panel Die. I was especially happy about this one, because wreaths are one of my favorite things…

    March 8, 2018 / 2 Comments

    Hello there, Zsoka back with you today, sharing my second of three blog posts showcasing cards I’ve created with various die sets from the Sharyn Sowell Flower Garden collection! If you’ve missed my first post, you can find it here. I love all colors. If you follow me on Instagram you know that I don’t like white space. Well that’s not entirely true, I actually love white on white on cards, but generally I will go with colors. For today’s cards I went with one of my favorite colors, cobalt blue. I call this cobalt blue but I might be totally off! Anyway, this shade is my absolute favourite. The last couple of…

    Hi there crafty friends, Zsoka Marko here with you today, sharing my first of three blog posts showcasing cards I’ve created with various die sets from the Sharyn Sowell Flower Garden collection! You most probably don’t know me, so here’s a bit of information in a nutshell. I’m Hungarian but have been living in Germany for 13 years with my Dutch boyfriend and our 9-year-old son. I started scrapbooking in 2015, my main focus has always been 12×12 layouts. These past couple of months I’ve been making more cards, I think I just needed something new! My favourite cards are the ones I can create using patterned papers and dies, so…

    Hey folks! This is Cynde Whitlow and I’m from The Pink Envelope. Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m here today to share a video, where I show you how I make two cards using the Botanical Dragonfly Dies by Sharyn Sowell. If you’re interested in seeing what I did with the Botanical Butterfly you can see that here. I started by ink blending watercolor cardstock with two shades of blue ink. I made sure to concentrate most of the darkest ink in the lower left corner of the cardstock and blend out the lightest. I also made sure to leave the top right corner white. I was pretty sure…

I’m here today to share a video, where I show you how I make two very easy cards using some lovely dies from the Flower Garden Collection by Sharyn Sowell. I simply adore the Botanical Butterfly dies. From the moment I saw it, I knew I had to use gold cardstock. I started by making shaped cards using the frame die from the Floral Panel Card Die Set. Then I die cut the butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Die Set in gold cardstock. I used stamps to create my the “splatters” on…

    February 17, 2018 / 6 Comments

    Hi! Mayline here with you again and I am excited to be sharing my second guest post here on the Spellbinders blog. Catch my first post here. For today’s post I’ve created clean and simple style card with the  Flower Garden collection by Sharyn Sowell. To start off I created a background using a blending technique with light blue color ink on 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ white cardstock panel. And set aside. Next I used the Bird on Cherry Branch dies to cut leaves, bird, wing and cherry branch from 300g watercolor papers. After that I colored them all using watercolor paints.  I then started to create a green…
