Handmade Cards Featuring the Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders!

Hi everyone and welcome back to my blog!

Today I'm sharing two cards created with items from the new Hexi-Gems Collection from Spellbinders! 

For my projects I'm featuring the Essential Lexi-Gems Etched Dies, Hexi-Gem Blooms Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set, and the Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.

My first card was inspired by Summer and I used several shades of blue paper and bold red cardstock. I also created a plaid background with the Plaid Company Embossing Folder. I love the way the textured background looks with the layered Hexi-Gems! This Americana color theme is perfect as we head into the Summer!

The second card was inspired by my husband and his love for his Scottish roots and plaid everything. I used Black Glimmer Hot Foil on metallic cream paper for the floral arrangement and added layers of black, gold, and red paper to coordinate with the plaid background. 

For the sentiment, I used the new Hexi-Gem Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set to add a foiled greeting to both cards. The best part of this sentiment set is that you can hot foil a bunch of sentiment strips and the coordinating die cuts them all out at one time, this save so much time! 

I hope you enjoyed a peek at the new Hexi-Gems Collection and are inspired to create with the fun Glimmer Hot Foil plates from Spellbinders!

Thanks for checking out my project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!

My Favorite Things Card Featuring Spellbinders Glimmer Plates!

Happy Friday Friends!

Tasha here sharing two new cards created with the fun "All of My Favorite Things" Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Spellbinders!

My first card is a colorful design perfect for Spring and Summer! I used a Rainbow Glimmer Hot Foil to the sentiment and attached layers of bright pattern paper. I love the purple and green color combination, so pretty!

To bring in more rainbow color, I attached a bold pink card base and several pink glitter enamel dots. It's fun to play with colors and the Glimmer Foil really adds a beautiful finished look to your project, I just love it!

The second card is a similar style, but a different color palette. I went with Red, White, Blue, and Silver for this design and Black Glimmer Hot Foil. The black foil has quickly become one of my favorites and it gives a modern look to projects. I also enjoy using the White Hot Foil which is an alternative to embossing on dark paper.

The bold dark letters pop on the bright white paper, and I love the Patriotic paper layers! I also added enamel dots to complete this project, but went with solid black to coordinate with the greeting.

I hope you enjoyed today's cards and are inspired to create a foiled card. If you have not tried Glimmer Hot Foiling yet, I highly recommend you give it a try. Once I started, I just could not stop and I'm amazed each time I pull trefoil up to reveal a stunning design!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

My Favorite Things Card Featuring Spellbinders Glimmer Plates!

Celebrate! Card Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a bright little card featuring one of the new Birdie Freebie Stamps from Art Impressions. I enjoy collecting these little stamps and think the bird designs are lovely! 

(Freebie stamp is available with an Art Impressions purchase of $35 or more. Check out the Ai Shop to see all the options!)

To create this card, I stamped the bird image with black ink and colored him with markers. For the background, I ink blended around the edges of the center card and used a stencil to make sun rays. The golden colors are so pretty and frame the bird perfectly!

Lastly, I added layers of gold glitter card stock, bright blue paper, and several yellow enamel dots. I also stamped the word "Celebrate!" from the 5735 - Birthday Sentiment Set in orange ink to complete the project. 

Thank you for checking out today's card and I hope you all are having a wonderful day!

To the Birthday Boy Card Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 5044 - Born To Ride Set from Art Impressions. This stamp set is perfect for Father's Day, masculine birthday cards and projects. I just love this biker stamp! 

The image was stamped with black ink and colored with Copic Markers. I wanted it to look like the biker was cruising down the road on a warm Summer day, so I drew in a road and added some grass.

Also, since it's almost time for the 4th of July, I thought it would be fun to add an Americana theme to the design. To do this, I colored the bike red, used red, white & blue colors on his bandana, and I attached a festive star pattern paper. I just love these colors!

This stamp set includes several sentiments, but I used the "To the Birthday Boy" greeting from the 5735-Birthday Sentiment Set. I think this birthday set has become my go to for cards and love that it includes a masculine greeting. 

To complete the card, I attached several white enamel dots and layers of red cardstock and silver foil paper. When I think of motorcycles, I think of shiny chrome, so the silver foil totally goes with the biker theme. 

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I'm Probably Late for Something Card Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a new card created with the 5111 - Loads of Fun Set from Art Impressions. I love dogs and this little doggie sleeping on the laundry pile is just too cute, he looks so comfy!

To create this card, I stamped the little dog & laundry with black ink and colored the image with Copic Markers. I also added little designs to the laundry with a white gel pen, I love the extra details!

For the sentiment, I stamped "I'm probably Late for something" from the 5518-Hot Mess Laugh Lines Set below the colored image. I like the clean & simple look and this greeting fit perfectly in the space!

Lastly, I attached layers of red and yellow card stock, gold foil paper, and a cute dog-themed pattern paper to complete the project. This card makes me happy and I can't wait to send it to someone special!

I hope you enjoyed today's card and are having a great day!

Kindred Stamps May Release - Dolls Stamp Set Sneak Peek!

Lawn Ranger Card Featuring Art Impressions Stamps!

 Happy Friday!

Tasha here sharing a card created with the fun 5044 - Born To Ride Set from Art Impressions. This set reminds me of my husband when he mows our lawn with his green riding mower and I love all the sentiments!

I started by stamping the main image with black ink and colored him with Copic Markers. After, I used the same markers to color the grass. I wanted it to look like he was mowing the lawn, so I used several shades of green to make it look like the grass was long in front of the mower. 

For the greetings, I added the word "Vroom!" on the bottom of the card and "I love you Mower each day" on a small banner. I also added a tiny heart to the banner to go with the top sentiment. 

Lastly, I added fluffy clouds to the sky to make it look like a beautiful Spring or Summer day and attached blue and yellow card stock to complete the design.

Thank you for checking out today's project and I hope you are having a wonderful day!
