Happy Friday!

 Hello and happy Friday!  I'm popping in with two more cards I made with products from the Spellbinders January release.  First up is a card for Color Throwdown that I made using the Be Bold Color Block Big Congrats die. (Compensated affiliate links used where possible.  Using my link allows me to earn a small commission at no cost to you.  Thank you for your support.)

I did some inkblending with distress oxide inks in Kitsch Flamingo and Wilted Violet on smooth bristol cardstock.  I let the piece dry for a few hours before die cutting with the Big Congrats die.   I was going to just adhere the letters to a white piece of cardstock, but decided to use the new embossing folder from the Spellbinders embossing folder club for some additional interest.  This particular word die creates a mini slimline card.   I have some pre-made slimline card bases so I used one and simply trimmed it down so the that letters fit perfectly.  I adhered the embossed background and then added the letters.  The small word was die cut from green glitter cardstock and twice more from white.  I adhered then all together and added them to my card front.  I finished things off with a sentiment that I foiled in black with my Glimmer.  I die cut it down and added it to the card front with foam tape.  

The second card was created using a new die set from Becca Feeken for Spellbinders.  This die set is called Filigree Marquis from the Classically Becca collection.  For this card I used the colors from the current Sunday Stamps challenge.  I started by foiling a medium piece of red cardstock with red foil to create a darker red.  I used a Spellbinders Glimmer club kit from last year called Mini Nested Glimmer Dots.    I adhered my panel to a mini slimline card base.  I then die cut two of the layering dies from the Filigree Marquis set from light gray cardstock.  I cut the base layer by itself from white and adhered them together.  The sentiment was foiled in black with my Glimmer, die cut with the small oval from the set and adhered to the center of marquis shaped die cut.  I attached this piece to my card front.  I finished by die cut small flowers from the red cardstock and leaves from a dark gray cardstock and adhering them to the card front.   Little red gems were added to the center of the flowers.

I think I will enter this one in the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge, as well. 

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
