Creating with Yana's Daisies

Happy Monday! Hope your week is getting off to a good start! I have two more cards to share with you today that created with Yana’s Daisies Collection for Spellbinders


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 a daisy cluster with an outline to anchor the design. I used gold foil for the outline and white cardstock for the flowers and then blended ink to add the color. 

The sentiment is added with the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set using the BetterPress Machine. There are eight sentiment plates with corresponding dies to cut out the seven large sentiments. 


I embossed the card front with the new Molded Frame 3D Embossing Folder and then splattered gold paint on the background. I finished off the card with a few Gold 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. I used Cruise Ink to ink up the plate. Then I used the coordinating Daisy Shower Stencil to add the color to the daisies. 


This a another sentiment from the Crafty Hugs Sentiments Plate & Die Set. 

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and embossed with gold embossing powder.

I created my second card in the same manner but I framed the sentiment on a rectangle die cut with the Stitched Rectangle Dies and matted with the Petite Scallop Stacklets.

Hi and welcome to Day 4 of the Papertrey Ink April Release Countdown. I have two more projects with a kitchen theme to share with you today.  All the new products will be available tomorrow, April 22nd at 12 pm EST. 


I just love the new Mom's Kitchen Stamp Set and coordinating Dies! I decide to go for a modern sleek kitchen feel with black cabinets, brass handles, and a quartz counter top. I used True Black cardstock for the cabinet, Gold Cardstock for the handles, and stamped the countertop and background with the Weathered Wood Background Stamp with Soft Stone ink to give the look of quartz. 


Here is a closer look at the items I added to the countertop. I added in a little more gold by stamping the cake stand, whisk, and beater on the mixer in Versamark ink and embossing with gold embossing powder.

I used the Mom's Kitchen Stencil to created the background. You could used the stencil on its own and just add a sentiment for a quick and easy card. 


This sentiment is also from the Seasoned With Love Stamp Set.

A Birthday Wish

Hi All! I am back today with another card I created with the the Blocks of Fun Waffle Flower April Release. I am loving the mix of sweet envelopes, wax seals, and florals. 


First I die cut seven envelopes in a variety of colors with the Envelope Die and the Postage Collage Mini Seals Die. The envelope in the center is die cut with the Postage Collage Mini Seals Die which also included the letter that fits in the envelope and the floral dies. 

I arranged the envelopes on the card and die cut a circle from vellum to put under the open envelope in the center. I added details to the envelopes with small wax seal, hearts, and candy dots. 

The larger sentiment is from the Sealed Sentiments Stamp Set and die cut with the Sealed Sentiments Dies. The sentiment in the envelope is from the the Postage Collage Birthday Stamp Set.
