Spellbinders Luxe Backdrop and Border 3D Emboss & Cut Folder

Compensated affiliate links may be used - these are at no extra cost to you. I appreciate your support! 

 There's a new spellbinders release today - there's a very cool embossing folder that has two parts - I'm sharing two cards today showcasing each part of the folder. 

On this card, I used the border portion of the folder, with the coordinating border die. I then coloured the embossed portion of my card with Copic markers.

 


The larger portion of the folder creates this gorgeous background texture. I highlighted the texture usig some white ink and some sparkly Versamark Dazzle ink. I added a sentiment and border using a new Betterpress Plate, with coordinating dies.

Thanks for visiting :)

Floral Mother's Day cards

 I made three Mother's Day cards using the same stamps, the same white embossing, but three different colouring techniques. 

 

For this card, I coloured using Nuance watercolour powders.

 

 
For this 2nd card, I used Distress Oxide inks for the ink smooshed background, and copic markers to add deeper colour to the flowers and leaves.
 

I used Zig markers and a water brush for this 3rd card. 

 

The floral stamp I used in these cards is sadly discontinued, so I have linked below to some other floral stamps that would work just as well.

Rainbow Mother's Day cards

 I'm sharing a couple of rainbow Mother's Day cards today.

I inked this card in an unusual way. I had an ancient rainbow ink pad with a series of little foam pads. The foam had deteriorated so much that the pad was totally unusable in the usual way, so I swiped it over a few card bases and then scraped the degraded foam off the surface with a stencil scraping tool.

(You could get the same effect by swiping with some mini ink pads)

Mother's Day Cards

Mother's Day is coming up, so I made a bunch of Mother's Day cards. I used some background stamps, white embossed onto watercolour paper, then coloured with Zig markers and water. The background stamps I used are from Hero Arts, My Favorite Things (that stamp is discontinued) and Impression Obsession. The sentiments are from Paper Rose studio, Clearly Besotted, Avery Elle, and a stamp from a company that no longer exists, Artee Stamps.

Simon Says Stamp Sunny Days Ahead

There's a new release at Simon Says Stamp - Simon is wishing everyone Sunny Days Ahead!  I was very lucky to be sent a stencil called Mum/Mom/Love that's perfect for Mother's Day (and I particularly appreciate the alternative spellings on Mom/Mum!)


I used the sketchy flowers stamp in the background, stamped in pink ink and selectively coloured with a mid-pink Copic marker.  I then used the new stencil over the top - I put white embossing paste over the stencil, and then sprinkled WOW! clear embossing glitter over the top. I waited until the embossing paste was dry before I melted the embossing glitter with my heat tool. The extra sentiment is from Tiny Sentiments.


For my 2nd card, I inked the stencil up with very pale pink and blue inks, added a black stamped sentiment from the Beautiful Flowers stamp set from Simon Says Stamp, and then added some Stardust Stickles over the curvy, leafy line.
