Flower Garden Inspiration | Simple Floral Cards with Zsoka
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!

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…

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 very easy cards using some lovely dies from the Flower Garden Collection by Sharyn Sowell.

Then I die cut the butterfly from the Botanical Butterfly Die Set in gold cardstock. I used stamps to create my the “splatters” on…
Flower Garden Inspiration | Butterfly Gardens Card with Mayline
Hi friends! This is Mayline, thank you for joining me today. This is my last post with projects I made using dies from the Flower Garden collection by Sharyn Sowell. I normally make an A2 sized card using stamps, dies, and inks but today’s project I have made a square card without stamped images. Also, I wanted to make this card playful and interesting. So I layered many die cutting pieces. It was a big challenge for me but I really enjoyed. As I mentioned above, I normally make A2 sized cards, this time I made a 6-3/4” square card. I started by creating a panel 6-3/4” square panel with skyblue…
Flower Garden Inspiration | Spring Garden Card with Mayline
Hello everyone! This is Mayline and I am honored to be guest blogging here on the Spellbinders blog! Today I have a spring themed card to share with you using the Flower Garden collection by Sharyn Sowell. Today’s card is filled with the vibrant colors of a season in bloom.

After that I taped them to each end of the panel. To create a card, I started by die cutting the Card Creator Floral…
Planning a Garden Wedding
I’m Sharyn Sowell, the Spellbinders artist whose designs are all snipped freehand using only a simple pair of scissors. I’m delighted to share another sneak peek at my new Flower Garden collection that will be released very soon. This collection was snipped in English cottage garden and the garden just beyond my studio window, and each piece is designed with all the irregularities of art snipped freehand with a scissor, so your finished projects will achieve an artisanal hand made style. Because these dies are so intricately designed, they go together very quickly, with the dies themselves doing most of the work so you don’t need to spend a…
