Spellbinders Celebrations, Shimmerz and Fun stampers come together to create this divine card

Wow isn't the year going quick!! I can't believe that December is JUST around the corner and I'm still playing catch up from being so sick earlier this year. 6 weeks of no work has sure taken its toll on me thats for sure!

Well enough of my winging, I wanted to share with you a tutorial for a card I created with some REALLY fun products! For today's card I have teamed up Spellbinders Celebrations collection cardstock and die set, with Shimmerz Sprays and Spellbinders dies along with and a Fun Stamper's Journey stencil and Fun Stampers Journey Gesso. OH how divine they come together!

Using sprays to colour various items as part of the project, really helps to

For my card today I used the following products:

Spellbinders Celebrations 'Cotton Candy'
Spellbinders Celebrations 'Whirl White'
Spellbinders Celebrations Fun Sentiments die set
Spellbinders wreath die set

Fun Stampers Journey Gesso
Fun Stampers Journey 'Stained Glass' Stencil

Shimmerz Vibes in Egg Noggin

Shimmerz Spritz in Truffle, Cotton Candy and Bamboo leaf

Here are some step shots showing how the card came together and how I used the divine products by Shimmerz, Fun Stampers Journey and Spellbinders

I started off with some stencilling onto the background with Gesso onto a 4.5 x 4.5" square of 'Whirl White' Celebrations collection cardstock.

I then added some Shimmerz Spritz Cotton candy

To add some interest I added sprays of an additional Shimmerz Spritz in Bamboo leaf drying between the layers.

I then took some die cuts of the 'Wreath' die from Spellbinders die cut from the Whirl White Spellbinders Celebrations collection by Richard Garay in Whirl white and coloured using the sprays as shown

Add some additional colour by spraying a few areas of the die cuts with the Egg Noggin' Vibes spray and the Truffle Spritz spray. Layer the 3 die cuts on the card

To tie in the colours of the flowers better I coloured them with the Cotton Candy Spritz spray to match in with the 'Cotton Candy' Celebrations Collection Cardstock in Cotton Candy

Once the white square card was coloured and backed with the pink 'Cotton Candy' cardstock I adhered it to a 5 x 5" square card base cut from the Celebrations 'Cotton Candy' cardstock. I layered up the wreath die cuts adhering with some silicone glue for dimension. Lastly I die cut the Celebrate word from gold foil cardstock for a fun pop of metallic goodness again adhering with silicone adhesive along with the flowers to finish.

Thanks for heading over to my blog today and I hope you've enjoyed my share!

Till next time

Celebrations fun team up of dies, cardstock and stamps

I've been fortunate to have been creating with the Spellbinders Celebrations line designed by Richard Garay for some time now. I adore the sweet colours in the collection and just love how it all goes together so well.

Today I'm sharing with you a card I created incorporating using the following products from the Celebrations collection. Having everything matching and working so well together makes it so easy to come together.

I also teamed up the above three products with these three lovelies to help the card come together fully

I double layered the sequins here for a sweet two toned look. The white cardstock was also scored in lines that are closer together at the bottom and further apart at the top. You can see the ribbed lines in this detail pic.

You may be wondering where I used the Fringed Garland die. It was used to create the thin strips of the 'Cotton Candy' coloured card and here is how I did it. After die cutting it with I simply ran my cutter along where the cuts finish at each side to create lots of little thin strips.

I love the added interest they create!

Well I hope you enjoyed my share today!

I'll promise to be back again real soon with some more inspiration

Happy Crafting!

Ruby Rock-it Monday's blues

Hi Everyone I'm here today to share you a fun project to scare away those Monday's Blues. I love to use Sketches when I am a bit stuck or need to get something done a little quicker as it really takes a great deal of thought away. Obviously you still need to choose your products, but with the new Bella Fundamentals Mini Themes this is SO SO easy!

This is the sketch I used to create the above card. As you can see it made it so easy to come up with this sweet card!
