Cuppa Coffee, Cuppa Tea Inspiration | Robin & Rosy Mug Card with Melissa Phillips
Hello! Melissa Phillips here one last time with another card created with the sweet, new die collection from Sharon Sowell, the Cuppa Coffee, Cuppa Tea Collection. Each die set in this line is amazing and a true joy to create with! You can see my 2 other projects using this collection here and here. Today I’ve selected the Robin & Rosy Mug die set. I couldn’t resist the tiny bird and teacup included in this set. I began by die-cutting my bird from cream cardstock and adding color through ink blending.

Chantilly Paper Lace Inspiration | Elegant Floral Cards with Melissa
Hi everyone! I’m Melissa Phillips and am so happy to be a guest blogger here on the Spellbinders blog. Over the next few weeks, I will be sharing projects with you created using the gorgeous Chantilly Paper Lace collection dies. They are all so beautiful and have quickly become my most favorite dies!

However I felt that I miss the flowers, the birds singing and the best way to approach it is to start creating something that you miss. For my cards I focused on Chantilly…

Floral Cards with Die D-Lites
Hello, this is Elena and I am excited to be back sharing a few cards I have made recently. I adore Fall and not only orange, yellow and pumpkin colors appear in my mind when I think about Autumn time. I think that deep olive, fuchsia, any shades of purple – rich colors are great this season too. So it’s a good chance to color our life too. I made a couple of cards using Daisies from the Flower Power set. It was fun to die cut flowers from textured cardstock of different colors. Usually I make plenty of them in advance, and more than I need for the current project,…
