Scenic Snapshot Clean and Simple Cards | Spellbinders


Scenic Snapshot Clean and Simple Cards | Spellbinders by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

Happy November friends!

Wow, I still can't believe how quickly this year has flown. Today I have a few cards to share with you featuring a few of the sets from the Scenic Snapshots Collection. I think these cards are perfect for someone who loves to travel or maybe even a retirement card. 

Also, today starts Kathy Raccosins 30 Day Coloring Challenge for anyone that wants to participate it is a great way to improve on your coloring skills, so click on the link for more information. I will try to participate as often as I can this month so follow me on Instagram to see what I color.

CARD DETAILS

Sometimes, especially when it comes to small die-cut pieces I like to cheat a little. Rather than die-cutting each piece out of different cardstock, I like to die cut everything out of white cardstock and then color it. I find this saves me so much time, plus the results you get are very different as you can add dimension and layers in your coloring.

For this first card, I ran the dies from the SPRINGTIME SCENIC SNAPSHOTS through the die machine using Neenah Solar White cardstock. I then used Copic markers to color each piece in.

Next, I die cut a circle from the panel that will be the card front. I then used a few Distress Oxide inks to blend out the colors on the background. Tumbled Glass for the sky and Mowed Lawn for the grass.

To make the scene fit within the circle I ran the treeline die cut along with the same circle die to trim off the edges.

I then pieced and glued all the die-cut pieces onto the circle cut out.

Before gluing the scene in place, I stamped the sentiment from the WILD AND FREE stamp set along the die-cut circle edge by curving the stamp in my positioner.

For this next card, I repeated the same exact process as my previous card. Once again using Copics on the die-cut pieces and Distress Oxide Inks on the background.

Difficult to see in the picture, but the stars moon and the snow are sparkly as I added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust to them.

This sentiment also comes from the WILD AND FREE stamp set, it is such a great stamp set to have for the traveler in your life.

Retirement Suitcase Card - FREE Suitcase Silhouette Studio Cut File


Hey Everyone!

Today I have a FREE Suitcase Silhouette studio file to share with you all 😁
Recently I was asked to make a card for a friend and colleague of mine from work who recently retired and loves to travel. So making a suitcase card for her was a no brainer!

Of course when I make a design I love to share it with my followers, just more fun that way plus it makes my heart happy seeing what other people create with them!


So all you will get with the download is the suitcase (no card or base). I think suitcase would also look great used in a scrapbook layout.


The stamp set I used on the card comes from Altenew - Succulents, it was the only stamp set I had that had a retirement sentiment! I must rectify that soon 😜 Let me know if you have any favorite "Retirement" stamp sets I need to shop for!

I kept the inside simple with just a congratulations.


For those of you that want to watch me piece the suitcase together and assemble the card, I have a process video for you to watch. For details on the supplies I used check the links below.

Vacation Pictures of Peru | Travel

Hi Everyone!

I finally had a chance to put together some pictures of our trip to Peru to share with you all! Not my usual kind of crafty post, but I think photography is an art and I love to practice it when I can. I tried to capture our experience, the people, the culture and of course the breathtaking views. Here are some of my favorite shots.
