Suitcase Birthday Wishes Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello, my friends!

Today's card couldn't be more fitting. My husband surprised me last week for my birthday with a trip starting in Nashville, Tennessee, and ending in Asheville, North Carolina. If you want to check out the highlights of our adventure click HERE for the Reel. He had this trip planned since December and I wasn't sure I was going to be able to go as I have been dealing with a herniated disc in my back since January. Thankfully I have come a long way with lots of physio and rehab. This trip was just what I needed both physically and mentally as these past 6 months have not been the easiest for me. Hopefully, my 48th year will be a better one!🤞

CARD RECIPE

Paper - Grab Your Passport Paper Pad

Frame 1 - Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies

Frame 2 - Lovely Layouts: Party Frames - Honey Cuts

Frame 3 - Sweet Stacks: Rectangles

Suitcases - Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies

Flowers - Lovely Layers: Globe Dies

Sentiment - Plane Awesome Stamps 

Ink - Bee Creative Intense Black Ink Pad and Ground Expresso Distress Oxide Ink

Tools - Ink Blender Brushes

Pearls - Travel Pearl Stickers

• Begin by die-cutting and assembling the Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies
• For a fun detail, I added white stitched lines all around the suitcases using a gel pen
• Die-cut the largest frame using the Lovely Layouts: Posted - Dies and paper from Grab Your Passport Paper Pad
• The next frame comes from the Lovely Layouts: Party Frames - Honey Cuts. Add foam to the back and glue to the previous frame

• Die-cut the smallest frame using the Sweet Stacks: Rectangles, add ink blending to the edges to distress the paper, and give it a vintage vibe.
• Stamp the sentiment out using Plane Awesome Stamps in Bee Creative Intense Black Ink
• Add foam to the back of the suitcases and arrange them onto the card front.
• Glue the die-cut flowers from the Lovely Layers: Globe Dies in place
• Add the Travel Pearl Stickers to the center of the flowers

I love how this Suitcase Birthday Wishes Card turned out. The travel, birthday, and vintage vibes are just so pretty! The Lovely Layers: Small Suitcases Dies are so versatile I will definitely use them more in the future. Make sure to stop by my Instagram next as I will share how to reel there. 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Scenic Snapshot Clean and Simple Cards | Spellbinders

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.

I hope you all were inspired by these simple Scenic Snapshot cards today. Let me know in the comments below which one is your favorite card. Visit Spellbinders for more Scenic Snapshot inspiration using these dies.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

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.
