Take Note

Hi All! I am kicking off the week with cards I created with the new Take Note Collections from Spellbinders.

I have three cards to share with you with a mix of the new products that you will find linked below.

My first card is centered around the new Reel Color Etched Dies. I think this die is so fun and different from anything else I own. I dic cut the wheel from white cardstock and then added the different colored cardstock in the imprinted stop on the wheel.

The Reel Color Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set has the perfect sentiments to go with the collection. I love that the BetterPress Plates can be used with the BetterPress System or the Glimmer Hot Foil System. Here I foiled the sentiment with gold foil on Raven Cardstock.

I used the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plates with Mooniest Foil to created the striped background. The flower is die cut with the Floral Spray Etched Dies.

I used the Reel Color Etched Dies on my second card too and added another sentiment from the Reel Color Sentiments BetterPress Plate & Die Set.

I used the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plates with black ink for the background and the sentiment at the top of the lined paper. I used gold foil for the gold line down the side. I used the Torn Paper Edges Etched Dies to die cut the torn edges of the notebook paper.

The Wish sentiment is from the previously release Fresh Picked Sentiments Etched Dies. I finished off the card with different color enamel dots.

My final project features the Push Pin Notes Etched Dies which creates the notebook paper with the turned up paper edge and the cute pushpins.

For the background I created another sheet of notebook paper with the Take Note Registration BetterPress Plate and used the Torn Paper Edges Etched Dies to add details to each side of the notebook paper.

I used the Floral Spray Etched Dies to add the flowers and leaves.

Thanks for stopping by! You can find all the new products HERE.

Sending Love and Hugs

Today I sharing projects that I created with the new Yana's Daisies Collection from Spellbinders. I was so excited to get to work with this product line. The Daisies are so pretty and the products make it easy to create cards that make a beautiful statement.

My first card features the beautiful Yana's Daisies Etched Dies. Products will be linked below. I think the details on these dies are so pretty. When assembled, this set of two thin metal cutting dies create argon daisy cluster with an outline to anchor the design

I die cut the daisies from white cardstock and then blended ink to add the color. I die cut the anchor die from a green cardstock and layered it behind the die cuts to add just a touch of green. The sentiment is added with the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set . There are eight sentiment plates with corresponding dies to cut out the seven large sentiments.

I cut a piece of Fairy Tale Cardstock to fit the card front. Then I used the Layered Daisy Shower Stencil to add the daisies to the background. Then I embossed the card front with the new Molded Frame 3D Embossing Folder. I finished off the card with a few Crystal Mix Color Essentials Gems

My next card is so easy to create with the Daisy Shower BetterPress and Stencil Bundle from Yana's Daisies Collection. You need the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System to use Daisy Shower BetterPress Plate but it worth the investment. I used Cosmic Sky Ink to ink up the plate. Then I used the coordination Daisy Shower Stencil to add the color to the daisies. Such a quick way to get an impressive result!

Here is a closer look at how the ink is pressed into the BetterPress Cotton Card Panel. I created a A4 card but the Daisy Shower BetterPress plate is perfect for an A7 sized card too. This a another sentiment from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set.
