Hi everyone! I’m Debi Adams and today I am bringing you two new cards featuring stamps and dies from my latest collection, “Love, Set, Match”.  Both of these cards are from the set, “Wink Wink” and are intended to be quick and easy, as is the entire collection. As I often do, I wanted something clean and trendy and I believe this line is exactly that.  On a personal level, I feel it's important to lift others up so I created these designs with that in mind.

It’s Your Time to Shine Card

This is a quick tutorial on how to create this super simple card, though I surmise you might be able to figure it out on your own because it's just that easy!

Use a 4 ¼” X 5 ½” card base and a mat that is 3 ¾” x 5”. Die cut a square from the upper center portion of the mat. Apply Pierced Rectangles to create the dotted border on the mat. Stamp sentiment onto front of mat using black ink. Color in with markers and colored pencils.

Die-cut light bulb from cardstock. Color in light bulb. Apply Distress Inks, listed in supply list, to card base using Tool 'n One with foam applicator, where square will appear. Mist lightly. Embellish with white ink.   Adhere light bulb and mat to base using foam dots.

And there you have it. A fun, encouraging card to give away!

Brilliant

 A sweet way to let someone know that they are appreciated for their input or accomplishments.

Use a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base. Adhere a yellow sheet of 3 ½” x 4 ¾” cardstock to base. Cut a 3 ¾” x 5” white mat. Die-cut three, circles from the mat. Stamp sentiment onto mat. Adhere mat to card base using foam dots.

Stamp, die-cut and color light bulbs. Adhere to inner center of circles with foam dots. Embellish with clear Nuvo drops.

Was that fun? I like making cards but I really LOVE giving them away. It spreads a lot of kindness and sunshine and everyone knows, we could use more of that!

Our in house creative designer Yana Smakula has created a project to share with you. At the end of the post we have details on a fun blog hop to inspire you featuring our designers and some amazing guest artists! And of course a chance to enter our giveaway! Yana says: It was so fun to make this "Super Fancy Handmade Birthday Card" using Stephanie's Feathers stamp & die set. She's a fantastic tattoo artist and has some awesome ideas that Spellbinders translated into stamps and dies. If you look closely you'll spot a ton of interesting detail to these feathers (and all of her images, really). I stamped feathers in Hero Arts Intense Black ink (use any alcohol marker friendly ink) and colored 2 feathers using Copic markers. I also used a white gel pen and added white dot details for some interest. Coordinating dies came very handy and I cut my images out in Platinum 6 machine. Coordinating dies in this collection create a wider edge along the stamped line, this is something different and rather fun!

I also stamped identical feathers in Versamark Watermark ink onto light gray panel to create a background for this card. I love using this trick - stamp same image in pale ink color and in black to let the black one pop.

The sentiment you see on this card is a sneak peek of a new set, also from Stephanie! Stay tuned for it in January! I stamped sentiment in both gray and black onto a white cardstock panel and foam mounted the panel onto the card. Next, I adhered my feathers and embellished this project using Sparkling clear Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

 

Hop along!

We've got tons of inspiration waiting for you created by the collection designers themselves and fabulous guest designers! Be sure to visit each one of their blogs and leave them some love!
