    Punny Farmyard Trio

    February 21, 2025 / 4 Comments

    Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog using the On the Farm collection. This is such a fun collection that can be used for lots of different occasions. I love that each animal comes with a coordinating punny sentiment set! THANK EWE My first card uses the Counting Sheep Clear Stamp & Die Set, along with Perfect Touch Arches Etched Dies. These fun arch dies are great for using both the negative and positive of the die. For this card, I used the negative. To make this card: Die-cut sheep from Snowdrift, Fog, Onyx, and Pink Sand Cardstock. Assemble and adhere…

    Inspired by the Sentiments in the Showered with Love Collection by Joan Bardee

    January 14, 2023 / 2 Comments

    Hello and welcome! I’m Joan Bardee and if you want to see what else I’m up to, you can find me on Instagram as Dear Paperlicious. Today I’m featuring 3 fun and colorful cards using products in the Showered with Love Collection designed by the super-talented Vicky Papaioannou. The design of each card was inspired by the sentiments in the I’ve Got You Covered Clear Stamp and Die set, which is part of this collection. The collection is full of clever open and closed umbrellas, weather symbols, flowers, a duck, etc. – all evoking spring. I took my cue from that season and used softer sherbet colors for each of…

This is such a fun collection that can be used for lots of different occasions – love, get well, thinking of you, encouragement, and lots more! THINKING OF YOU I am using Umbrella Bloom for my first card, which is such a beautiful set!

I then cut the leaves from Peridot and Rainforest Cardstock. The flowers were cut from Pink Sand, Wild Berry, and…

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jung here, and I share 3 cards that I made using the new Showered with Love collection by Vicky Papaioannou. Umbrella Blooms Slimline Card For my first card, I used the Umbrella Bloom dies to create a vertical slimline card. First, I die-cut all the dies in the Umbrella Bloom die set. For the umbrella pieces, I die-cut them several times to make a total of 4 umbrellas. Next, I glued together all the umbrella pieces, and the floral pieces. For my background panel, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to be slightly smaller than a slimline card, then used Distress inks to create an…
