Spellbinders| 3D Vignette Twin Lens Camera

Happy Sunday, Fellow Crafty Friends!


Oh, how I miss you all! A bit of time has passed since my last post. I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the upcoming holiday season. Today, I am sharing with you a 3D card I made using Spellbinders' new 3D Vignette Twin Lens Camera die set. 

 



If you cannot already tell, I adore vintage cameras. I now have three in my collection, so this die set is perfect for me. There are roughly 28 dies in this set, but do not let the number overwhelm you. Once you get the hang of how the die pieces work together, the 3D card comes together fairly easily. The hardest part will be choosing your camera's color palette. For this card, I decided to stay with a fairly vintage color scheme because I planned on using the Bold Blooms collection to add a bit of color to the body of the camera with the addition of a floral centerpiece. I cut the pieces of the camera from black, grey, silver, and white cardstock. The bouquet uses a range of red cardstock to create a monochromatic aesthetic. A bit of black ribbon to replicate a camera strap completes this project. 



 

This card is for a dear friend for her birthday. We ladies had a fabulous time together at a local vintage market, and I wanted to honor our time spent together. The 3D camera die set has a die that cuts photos to fit into the body of the camera. I printed several photographs from that day and inserted them into the appropriate slots. I love how this project turned out, and my friend will surely love it, too!


Thank you for spending a bit of your time with me! Have an amazing upcoming week! Until next time...


Happy Crafting,


Keia

Scrapbook.com|Hi You...

 Hello, Crafty Friends!!!


Happy Tuesday! I hope your well is going well. Over here I am living knee-deep in the midst of back-to-school time and working full-time. Homework is completed, the clothes are ironed and laid out for today and lunchboxes are sitting on the counter ready to be packed. However, I have still managed to carve out a little craft time, not much, but a little. Enough to keep me happy.




Today's card features the new Hi Fall and Wordfetti Sunny Days stamps from Scrapbook.com. I love bold graphics and this stamp was just too perfect not to be used sooner than later. I purchased this great Speech Bubble stencil from Photoplay, which paired perfectly with the bold HI. To create this card, I used a pastel color palette from the Pinkfresh Studio dye ink line and inked the speech bubbles onto an A2 card front. I stamped the "hi" in Gina K's Amalgam Ink several times for a crisp black statement. A diecut sentiment and a few Pops of Color dots complete this fun card. 




Thank you for spending time with me. I hope you have a chance to step into your creative space this week and create something beautiful.


Happy Crafting,


Keia

Spellbinders| Christmas In July...Joy

Hello, Crafty Friends!


Today, we are Celebrating Christmas in July with Spellbinders. This is a fabulous way to be inspired by an array of amazing designers and get you into the holiday spirit. My simple Joy card features Spellbinders Christmas Jasmine and Skinny Stripe Background hot foil stamp. 



To create this card, I foiled a black A2 card panel using matte silver foil and the Skinny Stripe Background hot foil stamp. I love the look of the silver foil against the crisp black cardstock. I then used a circle die to create a window for my shaker bits and "Joy" sentiment. However, the real star of this card is the Christmas Jasmine. If you have not seen the floral arrangement videos by Susan Tierney Cockburn, then you are in for a treat. This amazing designer shares her passion for all things floral and provides lovely tutorials on making paper florals come alive. Hint...it involves special tools that help with providing veining for the leaves, and how to mold a paper flower using different ball styluses to create depth and texture to the paper petals. Once I learned the basics of paper floral design, it was time to play with these amazing dies to create 3-D flowers. I just love how they turned out. I completed the card with a few silver beads.



Thank you for joining me. I hope you have a chance to step into your craftroom and create something beautiful!


Happy Crafting,


Keia

Scrapbook.com| Christmas In July

 Happy Friday, Crafty Friends!


I am popping in to share a card for Scrapbook.com's Christmas in July Celebration! Today's card features the new Snowflakes dies paired with the Block Outline Christmas Dies, a soon-to-be favorite in my Christmas cardmaking stash. 



To create this card, I started by cutting a piece of the top panel to fashion a window for my layered snowflakes. I then set the panel aside to start diecutting my snowflakes from shades of red cardstock. Since the diecut snowflakes are intricate, I recommend diecutting the snowflakes several times and layering them to add heft and dimension. I diecut a few of the snowflakes from glitter cardstock to add a bit of festive flare. However, since the glitter cardstock is on a plastic-like backer, be sure to use a metal shim to achieve a clean cut when diecutting. I diecut the "Merry" from various shades of red and layered the letters several times to add dimension. I finished the card with a simple "Christmas" sentiment heat embossed onto black cardstock using the Christmas Expressions stamp set. 





Okay, I think I am on a roll now! Looking forward to sharing next week's Christmas in July card. Until then...create something beautiful every day!


Happy Crafting,


Keia

Spellbinders Paper Arts| July Release Crossed Lines Card Front Hot Foil Plate

 Hello, Crafty Friends!


Spellbinders July release is now available! The release is filled with dies and hot foil plates to inspire you to create lovely projects. Today's card features the new Crossed Lines Card Front Hot Foil Plate paired with the previously released Be Bold Blooms floral dies. 



The new Crossed Lines Card Front Hot Foil Plate is the perfect inspiration for my geometric-loving heart. And pairing this gorgeous design with the Be Bold Blooms was sure to produce a stunning design. To create the card, I hot foiled the Crossed Lines Card Front Hot Foil Plate twice, once on teal cardstock and on the wonderful Glimmer Speciality Cardstock, which makes foiling a breeze! I then cut the teal panel along the matte gold foiled lines and layered the colored panel on top of the white foiled panel using foam adhesive tape. With my background panel in place, I used a modern color palette fused with shades of teal, orange, yellow, and a touch of white to create a vibrant floral bouquet. The florals can take a bit of time to diecut and assemble but the end result makes it so worthwhile. A simple hot foiled sentiment, included with the card front plate, completes this card. 




For more inspiration, visit the Spellbinders July release (HERE). Thank you for visiting. I hope this card inspires you to create something beautiful.


Happy Crafting,


Keia

Scrapbook.com| FaLaLa

 Hello, crafty friends!


Happy Friday! We made it to the end of the week and what a week it has been. This weekend I am hoping to step into my craft room and enjoy a little me time. I am loving Scrapbook.com's Christmas in July celebration and I would love to make a few more cards for the occasion. 



 Seriously, it is never too early to start making Christmas cards. This way I am ahead of schedule instead of playing catch up. To create this card, I paired some of my favorite Scrapbook.com dies, I am looking at you Sprigs and Mini Envelope dies, with the new slimline Mod Trees stamp. As I have written before, the slimline format is not my creative jam; however, this does not stop me from incorporating slimline stamps and dies into my design.  I first started by die cutting the Nested Trees dies from a piece of navy cardstock. I then took another navy cardstock panel and heat embossed the Mod Trees using Ranger's Gold Tinsel embossing powder. I layered the two panels together using foam adhesive to add dimension to my card front. The ephemera cluster uses a few pieces from Pinkfresh Studio's Holiday Magic collection paired with Scrapbook.com's Mini Envelope and Sprigs dies. The simple FaLaLa diecut sentiment completes this card.




Thank you for spending time with me. I hope this card inspires you to spend time in your creative space.


Happy Crafting,


Keia
