I'm back today with a card featuring the beautiful <a href="https://ldli.co/e/nqn446m" target="_blank">Sealed Florals </a>BetterPress plate from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a>. To get started, I took a piece of their <a href="https://ldli.co/e/xl511x4" target="_blank">Porcelain cotton card panels </a>and lightly blended on some blue and pink inks. I then pressed on the floral image from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/nqn446m" target="_blank">Sealed Florals </a>set using the BetterPress black ink which is part of the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/nqn44e6" target="_blank"> Regal Tones </a>ink set. The sentiment is from a different press plate set, the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/e2mddl0" target="_blank"> A Little Message Sentiments </a>press plate and die set.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I die cut this panel using one of the dies from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/76dee3q" target="_blank">Labels Eight </a>set. I then took the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/lmkggop" target="_blank">Circle Illusions 3D embossing folder </a>and ran it through my Platinum 6 machine with white card stock. I trimmed it down to just smaller than A2 size and added it to a white A2 notecard. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I added on my focal panel with some thin foam tape and some silver gems finish off this card.</div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBbv8DqMzitV1WirBIRGmiVwxh78rrz83Jn6tQ_JCyHgDJ4WJJwKcXSDLZaZ5Mj-RuWE7Ww2UmsfITwtsAfnDgoayT3jdcQdDWazT4RvFc2IXfrAtLm5qIQ17dotwn_KUzk1htzeB_-Bf5rjd7H4HX6lxfshaBTGe7iv6-8xw_Bn11WoYTiavMzckI_7k/s1023/hhhh.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1023" data-original-width="1023" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBbv8DqMzitV1WirBIRGmiVwxh78rrz83Jn6tQ_JCyHgDJ4WJJwKcXSDLZaZ5Mj-RuWE7Ww2UmsfITwtsAfnDgoayT3jdcQdDWazT4RvFc2IXfrAtLm5qIQ17dotwn_KUzk1htzeB_-Bf5rjd7H4HX6lxfshaBTGe7iv6-8xw_Bn11WoYTiavMzckI_7k/w640-h640/hhhh.jpg" width="640" /></a><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have a fun card to share with you today using some <a href="https://topflightstamps.com/search?q=dinkles" target="_blank">Dinkles Ink Powders</a> from Lavinia. If you've never heard of these, they are very pigmented powders that react with water. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To get started, I took a piece of watercolor card stock and added some <a href="https://ldli.co/e/qy591mr" target="_blank">Blueberry</a> and <a href="https://ldli.co/e/3o5kj3g" target="_blank">Blue Dragon</a> Dinkles powders on top of it. You just need a little bit. I then spritzed the panel with lots of water. I did this a couple of times, making sure to dry my panel in between. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once the panel was dry and I was happy with it, I die cut it using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/073dj4l" target="_blank">Twinkle Swirl die</a> from Whimsy Stamps. I then die cut the same die from some grey card stock. I added the colorful background to an A2 notecard and then inlaid the center portions of the grey piece in. I then took the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/p3yzxo0" target="_blank"> Hello Word and Shadow die</a> set and die cut both layers from the same grey card stock and added it on top of everything and that completes this fun card.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivuOIEOCeU6vsRGmmWPYAEkzUTpK27trJL7MP0wH8rz1JyuVmRcabb6et5e6ZWxbnbaNo04GYUFir2fJWd0WyYS-VuCMm-m6Cp5Mglyh7IOdTdQe4BUHBj-3AGWcm9wg9ABXtBmkt7stRcaFoJ9-kBw41a86NhyciDxq0cGCisQBLfwJDNMRZmr6TF9JA/s800/Alanna%20Twinkle%20Swirl%20die%20Hello%20word%20die.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivuOIEOCeU6vsRGmmWPYAEkzUTpK27trJL7MP0wH8rz1JyuVmRcabb6et5e6ZWxbnbaNo04GYUFir2fJWd0WyYS-VuCMm-m6Cp5Mglyh7IOdTdQe4BUHBj-3AGWcm9wg9ABXtBmkt7stRcaFoJ9-kBw41a86NhyciDxq0cGCisQBLfwJDNMRZmr6TF9JA/w640-h640/Alanna%20Twinkle%20Swirl%20die%20Hello%20word%20die.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

So, <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a> came out with a collection of two press plates, in their <a href="https://shrsl.com/4f9go" target="_blank">Press & Place Registration collection</a>. These plates are brilliant because with the template that is provided, you can create a colorful background like this with multiple colors. The template assures that you line up each of the press plates in just the right spot. If you missed my first card using this set, <a href="https://damoses.blogspot.com/2024/02/using-white-pigment-ink-on-your.html" target="_blank">click here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For this card, I am using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/m57oogr" target="_blank">Blooming Garden</a> press plate. I inked it up with several colors and then die cut the panel using a die from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/xl5119l" target="_blank">Essential Arches</a> die set. I then took a piece of patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and added it to a white A2 notecard. I added the focal image with foam tape and added in some gold gems to finish off the card. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVedXoJyUMYfcN6ReMIMtD2G523n7e43rkBARcUmdhYJdTkWe7wWXAEn2Gp7ymNpalRMu_9Zztmuiwk-SEriyrfriA3bmXzXinBvLQlJLkQroGhSqoDQDN1kDKkoAabbjan2L2tNJMIYRuEAe59CBICb-8V2Y4N-ezIrYARwJAKdl61sz_IQmMXJawsQ/s1200/reg.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdVedXoJyUMYfcN6ReMIMtD2G523n7e43rkBARcUmdhYJdTkWe7wWXAEn2Gp7ymNpalRMu_9Zztmuiwk-SEriyrfriA3bmXzXinBvLQlJLkQroGhSqoDQDN1kDKkoAabbjan2L2tNJMIYRuEAe59CBICb-8V2Y4N-ezIrYARwJAKdl61sz_IQmMXJawsQ/w640-h640/reg.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have two different cards to share with you today, both using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/ye52yl1" target="_blank">February 2024 stamp of the month club kit</a> from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a>. You can purchase just the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/jqzj16o" target="_blank"> stamp set</a> for $10 which includes free shipping in the USA or for $17.50, you can get<a href="https://ldli.co/e/ye52yl1" target="_blank"> both the stamp set and coordinating dies</a>, again with free shipping in the USA.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my first card, I started by stamping the large focal image from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/ye52yl1" target="_blank">February 2024 stamp club kit</a> with gold ink onto white card stock. When it was dry, I die cut the image using the coordinating dies. How awesome is that die to cut out all of the insides? I just love it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I embossed the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/p3yzx00" target="_blank">February 2024 embossing folder</a> of the month onto black card stock and then added some gold splatter on top of it. I added this panel to a piece of gold mirror card stock and then added it to a white A2 notecard. <br /><br />I then die cut the coordinating frame die two more times from white card stock and stacked everything together for dimension and strength. I added this to my card and then finished it off with a sentiment which is included in the February 2024 stamp of the month. And if you get the coordinating die set, there are dies to cut out several of the sentiments which is awesome!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0PyeC5uWJ8ePxtxHo62ctU7l80MjmoWIWrWfpLyeSCb8M46BFvRfkPRlPI6SzNuHeKpDxNEgwOkjPRz14g7vWsNjgWp2OkhpHVeea22D9g_XNQiB192Pib-XXbsRBJvb98RaDOkRXr0Uue3VWQOGlBkuCDnX1keTk3P854gImnb46nfod6GlCTKP5fRo/s1200/alanna%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0PyeC5uWJ8ePxtxHo62ctU7l80MjmoWIWrWfpLyeSCb8M46BFvRfkPRlPI6SzNuHeKpDxNEgwOkjPRz14g7vWsNjgWp2OkhpHVeea22D9g_XNQiB192Pib-XXbsRBJvb98RaDOkRXr0Uue3VWQOGlBkuCDnX1keTk3P854gImnb46nfod6GlCTKP5fRo/w640-h640/alanna%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my second card, I followed the same steps primarily but this time, instead of using the coordinating dies to cut out my focal panel, I used one of the dies from the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/073dj1l" target="_blank"> Essential Arches die set </a>- a match made in heaven. On this panel, I went even heavier with the splatter and also added some white splatter. I think it's a bit too much but hey, it's okay, right? :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I used the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/p3yzx00" target="_blank">same embossing folder</a> and sentiment set on this second card that I did on the first.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBTwbCJHB7hJ5bwGkzc09PiFKTngaQZbCBK9pThnnRmLxccWuCDl2z1KPVwyLenHreFVWm-6z-Wmw_gOV1rMv_V59rGNR-qgC7gTW-fZHIk0oWdKN8nlCPORXdxDiT8e1PfvXHsZRknoMtJAJrYpzdqetsNRQ4TLdK4iBGcXnHK_AkOIb-nt9lw31L44/s1200/alanna%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFBTwbCJHB7hJ5bwGkzc09PiFKTngaQZbCBK9pThnnRmLxccWuCDl2z1KPVwyLenHreFVWm-6z-Wmw_gOV1rMv_V59rGNR-qgC7gTW-fZHIk0oWdKN8nlCPORXdxDiT8e1PfvXHsZRknoMtJAJrYpzdqetsNRQ4TLdK4iBGcXnHK_AkOIb-nt9lw31L44/w640-h640/alanna%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am super excited to send these cards out to friends as I love how they turned out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

To get started on it, I took the frame image from the new <a href="https://ldli.co/e/lmkgd41" target="_blank">Handmade Weirdo </a>set from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d7id" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps</a> and stamped it repeatedly with grey ink onto a white A2 notecard. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I then took some Distress Mica Stain in the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/xl513kj" target="_blank">Wonderland </a>color and sprayed just a bit onto it. I then took a piece of paper from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/m57oz2m" target="_blank">6x6 Rainbow paper </a>collection and die cut it using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/26541x9" target="_blank">Congratulations Word & Shadow die</a>. I die cut the shadow portion from black card stock two times and then adhered them together. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">I added this to the card base and then added a supporting sentiment which is from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/5yx39zk" target="_blank">Simple Sentiment Strips </a>stamp set. Some clear gems finish off the card. And then it was at this point that somehow, I got a big smudge on one of the sides with black ink. So, I trimmed both sides down a bit, so my card is now a bit smaller than the standard A2 size. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh2j_FmFVEYK7xF7u0Mcu5rWxZXC8VdhS-iFr6DfmiXBHOV_Ek4Cy_vrnnWDnVNbBb4UpOLq5TcVXavxmhKiAdUQiIh5FYnf0ReldmVm7yPeW1stqi-N-hjWin5wWcid-qfpYQnME4qXA3zdHBCIVHoYOPUu16i5KApXz8fnS3mDwDXUkzDLDVUraCTCg/s800/Alanna%20Handmade%20Weirdo%20Congrats%20die.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh2j_FmFVEYK7xF7u0Mcu5rWxZXC8VdhS-iFr6DfmiXBHOV_Ek4Cy_vrnnWDnVNbBb4UpOLq5TcVXavxmhKiAdUQiIh5FYnf0ReldmVm7yPeW1stqi-N-hjWin5wWcid-qfpYQnME4qXA3zdHBCIVHoYOPUu16i5KApXz8fnS3mDwDXUkzDLDVUraCTCg/w640-h640/Alanna%20Handmade%20Weirdo%20Congrats%20die.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have two cards to share with you today, using a technique I recently saw Jennifer McGuire do. It is so simple yet creates a stunning result which will have your recipient wondering how you achieved this look.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my first card, I am using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/073dj3z" target="_blank">February 2024 stencil of the month </a>from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a>. This includes 4 different stencils and costs just $14, and there is also free shipping in the US on all club kits.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I started by taking a piece of white card stock and I added three colors of brightly colored ink to it using a direct to paper technique. I wanted lots of ink down and this was the easiest way to do that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once my panel was inked, I took the stencil and laid it over top and them took some black pigment ink and blended that over top. When it is done, all you have to do is lift off the stencil and you achieve the look below.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For this card, I added the panel to a white A2 notecard and added my sentiment and some gems. The sentiment was foiled using <a href="https://ldli.co/e/qy591od" target="_blank">White Opaque foil </a>and is from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/5yxnjdm" target="_blank">Must Have Sentiments</a> set from Spellbinders.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_wqlsphNUc6sHijOVLYm5Z042-HUJoCl4MbxATgVPrZeRpPsDTN9G8iFU_mLUJ1oWZyZRqkSjKHtNJ6IP4cRpi3isurrycNB7vOdQs45aNivQwIBLc5tyb9NGeMTpTYyYzsLYPVRdpHHnBhRaYuLB8S5zP1VvCVzKRu1-CVFccBGRnj19u5d8nlfPsEo/s1200/bbbb.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_wqlsphNUc6sHijOVLYm5Z042-HUJoCl4MbxATgVPrZeRpPsDTN9G8iFU_mLUJ1oWZyZRqkSjKHtNJ6IP4cRpi3isurrycNB7vOdQs45aNivQwIBLc5tyb9NGeMTpTYyYzsLYPVRdpHHnBhRaYuLB8S5zP1VvCVzKRu1-CVFccBGRnj19u5d8nlfPsEo/w640-h640/bbbb.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My second card uses the same colors and techniques but a different stencil. This time, I used the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/43l7j1k" target="_blank">Kaleidescope Window stencil</a> from Spellbinders. The sentiment is from the same set I used on the first card. And this time, I added in some black die cut hearts that I added some <a href="https://ldli.co/e/lmklz2p" target="_blank">Tonic Aqua Shimmer</a> to.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAs21epTKeqqTdTUxPEuyH4kuNYOPr8aUoV3HXcWolJ4VIl0LGZfACbhvkjn47Yd5M_ScSonExyOW-7BbmWNPAGmk3t5rZQZEXT3smRwKYrmC2F3kPOInprmgQfttz8RV97A5bgUf04oMago4-ICIKpNpHuVm-I5PpmURjAP1CtYSUCTY29zuX7hIYmk/s1200/jjj.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitAs21epTKeqqTdTUxPEuyH4kuNYOPr8aUoV3HXcWolJ4VIl0LGZfACbhvkjn47Yd5M_ScSonExyOW-7BbmWNPAGmk3t5rZQZEXT3smRwKYrmC2F3kPOInprmgQfttz8RV97A5bgUf04oMago4-ICIKpNpHuVm-I5PpmURjAP1CtYSUCTY29zuX7hIYmk/w640-h640/jjj.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

So, <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a> came out with a collection of two press plates, in their <a href="https://shrsl.com/4f9go" target="_blank">Press & Place Registration collection</a>. My card today features the beautiful <a href="https://ldli.co/e/xl54o3l" target="_blank">Blooming Garden</a> press plate from this collection. These plates are brilliant because with the template that is provided, you can create a colorful background like this with multiple colors. The template assures that you line up each of the press plates in just the right spot. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I love this set so much that I will have two more cards featuring it coming up in a few days so stay tuned for those.</div><div><span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">For this card, I wanted to ink up all the plates from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/xl54o3l" target="_blank">Blooming Garden</a> set with white pigment ink. I still used the placement and alignment guide, but everything was done with the white ink onto black card stock. So, this doesn't really have must texture to it but it's a great way to stretch your supplies and get a totally different look. <span style="text-align: left;">After my panel was complete, I die cut using a large circle die and then added it to a piece of white card stock that I had embossed using the</span><span style="text-align: left;"> </span><a href="https://ldli.co/e/76dg574" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">February 2024 embossing folder club kit</a><span style="text-align: left;">. This was then added to a piece of black card stock which was added to a white A2 notecard.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The sentiment is from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/kq9yn1e" target="_blank">Always and Forever Sentiment Strips</a> press plate and die set. Like I did with the focal image, I used the white pigment ink to ink it up onto black card stock.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijTatu-qsRGYeR9lx10jGoQ1uOJ7EZzsVDkwyCtRvJMo6rU2tWM5X-QNcdZrUyAIeNYQdFeA298rP0Zku9ySNl4k9RfRMQ5QY6FXSvqACrD3EQLYnZS4vUzpcQeur37TM7grLbamALcg2c5KgHI-M52xy5BCwTQFdW-t3bd1WWx-d9tkL9eR0fgAv-Np0/s1200/www.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijTatu-qsRGYeR9lx10jGoQ1uOJ7EZzsVDkwyCtRvJMo6rU2tWM5X-QNcdZrUyAIeNYQdFeA298rP0Zku9ySNl4k9RfRMQ5QY6FXSvqACrD3EQLYnZS4vUzpcQeur37TM7grLbamALcg2c5KgHI-M52xy5BCwTQFdW-t3bd1WWx-d9tkL9eR0fgAv-Np0/w640-h640/www.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have a trio of cards for you today using the new <a href="https://ldli.co/e/2651zz9" target="_blank">Floral W and Sentiment</a> BetterPress plate from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a>. They have all of the letters in a <a href="https://ldli.co/e/5yx922k" target="_blank">combo set</a> and if you want the entire alphabet, there is a tremendous savings on it versus buying the letters one at a time. Each of the sets has the large letter and then a sub-sentiment that goes with it. You could use the letters with or without the sentiments.<a href="https://shrsl.com/4f1at" target="_blank"> Click here </a>to see all of the letter sets at once.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">One of my favorite things about BetterPress plates is that you can also foil them. While I didn't do that on these cards, look for a post coming in the next couple of weeks where I show another one of the letters foiled instead of pressed.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For these cards, I started by inking up the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/2651zz9" target="_blank">Floral W and Sentiment </a>press plate with the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/e2m3ln2" target="_blank">Spellbinders black BetterPress ink</a> onto some of their <a href="https://ldli.co/e/d7o5qp3" target="_blank">Porcelain cotton A2 card panels</a>. I then took a couple of watercolor markers and quickly added in coloring on just some of the flowers. I die cut the panels using the largest die from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/m57zngm" target="_blank">Labels Eight die set</a> and mounted them with foam tape onto A2 aqua notecards. <br /><br />I absolutely love how these came together and in just a half hour, I was able to add three sympathy cards to my stash.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WRv4SlcFQz4QtExIXvuryvMloJ5-Ml1CORN1sZ7941oPRtUOjdb1m00ZRxUpVUkyhoCW57L65WcGaAaF9o5kfiHYeApXg_FmL9Zx9TjHUEdfBDhJy-Q7oEBGcDnZpbLpeqwVR4fWak5oyKgq6prHCv1SlhSBEPlevuz4OIDKIXWzfH-k1l8af_UnCTY/s1200/sympathy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7WRv4SlcFQz4QtExIXvuryvMloJ5-Ml1CORN1sZ7941oPRtUOjdb1m00ZRxUpVUkyhoCW57L65WcGaAaF9o5kfiHYeApXg_FmL9Zx9TjHUEdfBDhJy-Q7oEBGcDnZpbLpeqwVR4fWak5oyKgq6prHCv1SlhSBEPlevuz4OIDKIXWzfH-k1l8af_UnCTY/w640-h640/sympathy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I took the outer portions and colored them with a purple Copic marker.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I then took a piece of paper from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/6l1k239" target="_blank">Slimline Rainbow Magic paper</a> pack and added it to a 3.5x8.5-inch card base. I then added on my frames and stamped a sentiment which is from the Fairy Land set.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">I finished off the card by adding in some clear gems.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJTC1290O7Uet22pKwPz0CvCnjyj9EDL4H9Xa2Cw6OU-F2ArfcqcJP-8jMyLU0viUuQaVqy2z9ispv1Vc-UdhP8XuY03OwPJpG5zpWk0JXR7P5vNEgXolR0FnLbAk4qKTdj-0YBH0VK_wJ_uVb_ppQtJAY5UfUX0kS4OW7V4EHbAbmx9Y4ZBTD5Gytm4/s800/Alanna%20Fairy%20Land%20Poloroid%20die.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJTC1290O7Uet22pKwPz0CvCnjyj9EDL4H9Xa2Cw6OU-F2ArfcqcJP-8jMyLU0viUuQaVqy2z9ispv1Vc-UdhP8XuY03OwPJpG5zpWk0JXR7P5vNEgXolR0FnLbAk4qKTdj-0YBH0VK_wJ_uVb_ppQtJAY5UfUX0kS4OW7V4EHbAbmx9Y4ZBTD5Gytm4/w640-h640/Alanna%20Fairy%20Land%20Poloroid%20die.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I realized I never shared this card featuring the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/6l19339" target="_blank"> January 2024 Spellbinders stencil</a> of the month club kit. If you missed out on this in January, it is still available to purchase <a href="https://ldli.co/e/6l19339" target="_blank">here</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you aren't a subscriber to the stencil of the month club kit from<a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank"> Spellbinders</a>, <a href="https://ldli.co/e/qy52m0r" target="_blank">click here</a>. This club kit is only $14 and usually comes with 4 stencils. Shipping is also free in the USA.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This stencil set has 4 layers and also coordinates with the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/3o5199g" target="_blank">January 2024 glimmer</a> club kit. But it is able to stand alone on its own, as I've shown in this example.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Back to my card. To get started, I did ink blending with the stencils to get the layered and shaded look. I just love layering stencils and how easy they make it to create beautiful cards with little effort.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">After my stenciling was done, I die cut the panel using the largest die from the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqxdoo7" target="_blank"> Labels 8 die set</a>. I then stamped the sentiment, which is from the January 2023 stamp of the month, no longer available, unfortunately. I finished off the card by adding in some gold splatter and clear enamel dots. I popped the panel up with foam tape and added it to a kraft A2 notecard.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oetzzGU2kih7DcbyqHpajoa-9BRs8Tiv7r_niyJDROyYG274mj6vJOKWZB5B-vFiw2NJMyLAbe73CW4bQxDEwDCAfdt0zzh5ripbFOYivZWYkWgpnCovbCrm-t_dFINmI3jE-NHkT7kEqhWCJJTzb8L6oXDELw0H38876CKiCH8jDkeQolQkJAREhgg/s1200/alanna%20wmaa.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2oetzzGU2kih7DcbyqHpajoa-9BRs8Tiv7r_niyJDROyYG274mj6vJOKWZB5B-vFiw2NJMyLAbe73CW4bQxDEwDCAfdt0zzh5ripbFOYivZWYkWgpnCovbCrm-t_dFINmI3jE-NHkT7kEqhWCJJTzb8L6oXDELw0H38876CKiCH8jDkeQolQkJAREhgg/w640-h640/alanna%20wmaa.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I am excited to share this pair of cards with you today that feature lots of fun products from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a> including the brand-new <a href="https://ldli.co/e/kq929q4" target="_blank">Spring Magnolias</a> Press Plate & die set from Simon Hurley.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To get started, I took three of the press plates from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/kq929q4" target="_blank">Spring Magnolias </a>set and instead of using my BetterPress system with them, i foiled them using<a href="https://ldli.co/e/e2m7mo0" target="_blank"> Pewter foil</a>. I love how your press plates offer up double duty.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After my foiling was done, I took my panels and blended on various shades of blue Distress inks, all linked at the bottom of the post. I then embossed my panels using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/9d9e9ld" target="_blank">Bamboo Trellis 3D embossing folder</a>. I wasn't paying attention, and I used the "wrong" side of the embossing folder, so my panels are more debossed than embossed but i am okay with that. It still adds texture. I then took some Distress Mica Stain in the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx6xqn" target="_blank">Wonderland</a> color and added just a bit of splatter with it. It's subtle because the color matches the background quite well.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I trimmed down my panels and rounded the corners using my <a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx6xjn" target="_blank">Corner Chomper</a>. I added them with foam tape to white A2 notecards. I then added my sentiments which I also foiled. They are from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/76dyd63" target="_blank">You are Everything</a> Press Plates and die set. I die cut each of the words two more time for dimension. Some clear enamel dots finish off these cards.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQsliiUbBKgY4X1uGNqPgYiCbBRhow98-R_s0Twm_XqyvTAsAb-KdFk8gcZIwTnkNbhcSvm861VVqtRLLWvPoN49LhpLRozMBvS4O9dTNqsHOI6lKlmv6a8xzAKr_zzEVICJeVyiQ_RqPQY4ia6wxj2MV1srB04v3Tmp6K1qImYBY2oRfkZfcptygCCg/s1200/www.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQsliiUbBKgY4X1uGNqPgYiCbBRhow98-R_s0Twm_XqyvTAsAb-KdFk8gcZIwTnkNbhcSvm861VVqtRLLWvPoN49LhpLRozMBvS4O9dTNqsHOI6lKlmv6a8xzAKr_zzEVICJeVyiQ_RqPQY4ia6wxj2MV1srB04v3Tmp6K1qImYBY2oRfkZfcptygCCg/w640-h640/www.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I have a fun card to share with you today featuring a new die set from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d7id" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">To get started, I took the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/om6p3z1" target="_blank">Fireworks</a> stencil and blended on red ink through it directly onto my A2 notecard. I then die cut pieces from the new <a href="https://ldli.co/e/rneop71" target="_blank">Fun With Words 1</a> die set with white card stock. I then die cut the backer die included in the set from white card stock. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">On those, I added red coloring to one of them and then blue coloring on the other three.

I am back today with a pair of cards featuring the gorgeous <a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx6pjx" target="_blank">February 2024 Glimmer club kit</a> from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4c0ld" target="_blank">Spellbinders</a>. It has a beautiful large daffodil foil plate along with a couple of sentiments. You also get a full roll of glimmer foil with your club kit purchase, all for just $22.50 which includes free US shipping. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my cards, I glimmered the large image from the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx6pjx" target="_blank"> February club kit </a>with <a href="https://ldli.co/e/3o5e0re" target="_blank">White Opaque foil </a>onto some pink card stock. I love how you can get such a nice white and crisp image with this foil.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After my foiling was complete, I die cut both panels using the largest die from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/e2m74ox" target="_blank">Labels 8 die set</a>. I then blended on some darker pink ink around the edges to add a bit of depth. I took the hello sentiment from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/43le0p6" target="_blank">I've Got You Covered stamp and die set</a> and stamped it with black ink. I was then going to add these to just white A2 notecards but decided I didn't like how stark white the card base was compared to the panel. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">So, I took one of the stencils from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/07352n6" target="_blank">February 2024 Stencil club kit </a>and a light pink ink and blended over the stencil on just the perimeter of my card. It adds a subtle texture but I'm but happier with how this looks now.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I then added foam tape to the back of my panels and finished them off by adding in some pink pearls.</div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ34MWECbUgk2_ydeFl6efj1C7v9mAJnpzS9dYsIj9dsaY-esJUrSevYUWX0l3UX95tMBAElAH1MQ2jpsTzYrYnMCzmIOJtS0B53ymThB39DgHzyITmHuh8PnYnAsL7Db5gqccltcIdhEfl38sH3Zgfp5drKQLpmeSz1eWNOBwtXLSNxvmxoxDyPxXlZE/s1200/water.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ34MWECbUgk2_ydeFl6efj1C7v9mAJnpzS9dYsIj9dsaY-esJUrSevYUWX0l3UX95tMBAElAH1MQ2jpsTzYrYnMCzmIOJtS0B53ymThB39DgHzyITmHuh8PnYnAsL7Db5gqccltcIdhEfl38sH3Zgfp5drKQLpmeSz1eWNOBwtXLSNxvmxoxDyPxXlZE/w640-h640/water.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

Sooo-weet!<div style="text-align: center;">Hello friends and happy Friday! I have a fun birthday card to share with you today featuring the recently released <a href="https://ldli.co/e/0735e16" target="_blank">Piggies Crushed It</a> stamp set from <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d7id" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps</a>. This set is so stinking cute and there are also <a href="https://ldli.co/e/5yxel2q" target="_blank">coordinating dies</a> and<a href="https://ldli.co/e/43lem26" target="_blank"> no-fuss masks</a> available for it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my card, I started by stamping the image onto a piece of cream card stock. I then took the coordinating<a href="https://ldli.co/e/43lem26" target="_blank"> No-Fuss mask set </a>for this and added the mask over top of my image. I love how easy this makes it to create scenes. After my image was masked, I added a piece of <a href="https://ldli.co/e/jqz4m6x" target="_blank">Post-It masking tape</a> across the bottom inch or so to mask that off. I then took the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/e2m7plx" target="_blank">Farmhouse Shiplap background </a>stamp and tamped it with some light brown ink. I removed the post-it tape mask and added in my floor with some Copic markers. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I then removed the mask from my little piggy and colored the image in with my markers. I die cut this panel using one of the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/qy5zk0e" target="_blank">Rounded Rectangle dies</a>. I stamped my sentiment onto the panel which is included in the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/0735e16" target="_blank">Piggies Crushed It</a> stamp set.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">I then took a cream A2 notecard and added some Distress Mica Stain over part of it to add some interest. I popped up my focal panel with foam tape and added it to the card and that completes this fun birthday card.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSybOta4lcab49WAmyQHq5hgYima1CVAEIuhfR-cqYkT41D1LKI3m4knxaAudKrlmZr5jIiIH6IwAyWyISm958MF-GkZBL7NJbcsHjYz_jgElxOvPtoX1REdiRO5KOAbwYyZSiwTHkKYIE6u71gKrq8Vjv-bX2QxykOuK8kRW3QNnl-BYBct0RTE1zOys/s800/Alanna%20%20Piggies%20Crushed%20It%20stamps%20and%20masks%20Farmhouse%20Shiplap%20BG.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSybOta4lcab49WAmyQHq5hgYima1CVAEIuhfR-cqYkT41D1LKI3m4knxaAudKrlmZr5jIiIH6IwAyWyISm958MF-GkZBL7NJbcsHjYz_jgElxOvPtoX1REdiRO5KOAbwYyZSiwTHkKYIE6u71gKrq8Vjv-bX2QxykOuK8kRW3QNnl-BYBct0RTE1zOys/w640-h640/Alanna%20%20Piggies%20Crushed%20It%20stamps%20and%20masks%20Farmhouse%20Shiplap%20BG.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

I am super excited to share my project with you today as I love how it turned out using products from Spellbinders. I am using the new <a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx3ogn" target="_blank">Cosmos Backdrop Press Plate </a>and the coordinating stencils. You can purchase just the press plate or the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/nqnr6m6" target="_blank"> press plate/stencil combo</a> at a discount. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">To get started, I took the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/gqx3ogn" target="_blank">Cosmos Backdrop Press Plate </a>and used a brown Distress Oxide Ink to ink it up. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted a brown ink for the outline. I then took the<a href="https://ldli.co/e/nqnr6m6" target="_blank"> coordinating stencils</a> and colored in the images with various shades of pink and green inks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Once I was finished with the stenciling, I die cut the panel using the largest die from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/265lr2m" target="_blank">Labels 8 die set</a>. I then added gold splatter quite liberally using <a href="https://ldli.co/e/265lr3y" target="_blank">this paint set </a>and a fan brush.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After it was dry, I added foam tape to the back of the panel and popped it up onto a pink A2 notecard. I then added the foiled sentiment which made using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/om6j4g3" target="_blank">Always and Forever Sentiment Strips</a> set. This is a BetterPress set, and I just love how these can be foiled. And they foil up so beautifully. I foiled it onto white Hammermill cardstock and then added some light pink ink over top.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some gold pearls finish off the card.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgheOZqJbSqamPWX_W-VSUR6BOA3ZOogvsAIZI8IluBE9e5zUf-Re44gJR3cGDo54EuG9I1PZBI08a8yAMhq70V8jmKrbuTF8XguqG2HKVRokH3PKMMc9ezDljaDZKwkVfp1O0abZ1GMv9DdIn2Js5PZESzlCWGRs4Ei_4hLr_mfgQnu8Kjtbo8bnB2BoM/s1200/alanna%20wm.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgheOZqJbSqamPWX_W-VSUR6BOA3ZOogvsAIZI8IluBE9e5zUf-Re44gJR3cGDo54EuG9I1PZBI08a8yAMhq70V8jmKrbuTF8XguqG2HKVRokH3PKMMc9ezDljaDZKwkVfp1O0abZ1GMv9DdIn2Js5PZESzlCWGRs4Ei_4hLr_mfgQnu8Kjtbo8bnB2BoM/w640-h640/alanna%20wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you have a wonderful day.

Long time no see, right? I apologize for the long absence. We ended up moving my craft room to the downstairs of our house and boy was this a huge undertaking. I am up and running now though and am happy to be crafting in my new, slightly larger craft room. I hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday season and great New Year's. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://shrsl.com/4d7id" target="_blank">Whimsy Stamps</a> has two new products releasing today, the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/jqz1774" target="_blank">Quick Card Fronts A2 Sympathy Bouquet set #1</a> and the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/ye5yggp" target="_blank">Quick Card Fronts A2 Sympathy Bouquet set #2</a>. In each package, you will receive a total of 8 different designs of the panels along with 2 sheets of sentiments, printed in toner ink.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">These two new sets join the other three available in the shop currently. They make creating quick and easy cards a breeze. <a href="https://shrsl.com/4d7ib" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see all that are currently offered. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my first card, I am using the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/jqz1774" target="_blank">A2 Sympathy Bouquet set #1</a>, which is all tones of purple. I started by adding some Distress Mica Spray Stain to my A2 card panel. I then took one of the panels from the set and die cut it using the largest die from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/rnedzzl" target="_blank">A2 Antique Frames die set</a>. I added foam tape behind it and added it to my panel. I then took one of the sentiment panels and used one of the dies from the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/d7odppm" target="_blank">Simple Sentiments Strips die set</a>, and die cut it out. I added it with foam tape and this card is complete.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlClZUNfv27uGTNcPAabjW0b1k3CXSaYlEvxu1dQ5h_cmMe9jm8SXDtbpiggxpy-mMQbZwnVq9S-HPzyElbIlxlicBJystTgbwIPS-EP28S-h4WUh-8i0t1HN2Cmwg-plC595dtcop3jBPlFw8JG3DaqSm0sDJWZqFx7n3zVVdBA0P3VFwf1HuPP6RNw0/s800/Alanna%20-%20QCF%20Sympathy%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlClZUNfv27uGTNcPAabjW0b1k3CXSaYlEvxu1dQ5h_cmMe9jm8SXDtbpiggxpy-mMQbZwnVq9S-HPzyElbIlxlicBJystTgbwIPS-EP28S-h4WUh-8i0t1HN2Cmwg-plC595dtcop3jBPlFw8JG3DaqSm0sDJWZqFx7n3zVVdBA0P3VFwf1HuPP6RNw0/w640-h640/Alanna%20-%20QCF%20Sympathy%201.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">For my second card, I did the exact same process except this time I kept my background plain. I used the <a href="https://ldli.co/e/ye5yggp" target="_blank">A2 Sympathy Bouquet set #2</a> for this card.
