Warm Spring Wishes

  Hi friends! Today it’s my turn to share over at Die Cut Divas, and I had fun playing along with our March challenge: “Spring Is Coming.”

Our fabulous sponsor this month is Gina K Designs.

For this challenge, we’re looking for projects that give us those lovely spring vibes and include either dry embossing or die cutting.

For my card, I pulled out two Gina K Designs stamp sets: Music to My Soul and Warm Spring Wishes (both retired). I die cut a square panel using Gina K Master Layout 3, and while the die was still in place, I softly blended some pink ink for a gentle pop of colour.

I stamped the guitar image from Music to My Soul, cut it out with my Scan’N’Cut, and coloured it with Prismacolor pencils. The sentiment comes from the Warm Spring Wishes set, and everything was mounted onto a 5-inch square card base to finish it off.

We’d absolutely love for you to join us! Head over to DieCut Divas, and share your own spring-inspired project. I can’t wait to see what you create!

Pink and Red Love You

 Hi Dawn here to share my Pink and Red card for this month's Challenge asking for predominant colors of red &/or pink (neutrals & a bit of a non-neutral are ok). 

Remember to use a die cut &/or embossing folder in your red/pink creation.

We have the wonderful Hero Arts as our sponsor this month! 

Hero Arts has generously donated a $25 gift card for our 

February random winner - thanks Hero Arts!!

I started by white embossing Hero Arts Cling Heart Pattern Background stamp (circa 2016 - retired) and then using some Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry to blend all over the embossed hearts.  I used a Gina K Master Layout 2 to die cut the panel and a white matting layer.  I took the DO ink and did a ink pad to paper to colour my card base.  The love you heart is another retired Hero Arts set - Stamp & Cut Yes. (circa 2014) stamped and clear embossed with the DO Picked Raspberry ink and cut with the co-ordinating die.  The ribbon is a Poppy Stamps die called Grosgrain Ribbon.  Added some white and Rose cold foliage from Altenew's Branches and Berries.

We hope to see you in the February gallery by 9pm Pacific Time on Feb 28th.

Thanks for visiting & happy crafting!!

Hero Arts ~ Meadow Blooms in Red and Pink

Hi! It's Sue with a card creation to share with you today. Our challenge for the month of February is

RED &/OR PINK COLORS

Our sponsor this month is Hero Arts who will be giving our winner a $25 gift card. A big thank you to them for their generosity.

Here's my card

For my card, I used Hero Arts products that I received as part of the kit for Scrapbook & Cards' Crop & Create Delivered Spring 2025 event. I used Hero Arts Meadow Blooms Cover Plate and coordinating Color Layering Stencils that I see are no longer available at Hero Arts but are available at other retailers. I also used the cover plate to emboss a white A2 panel. I applied Hero Arts Wax - White to the embossed panel with my finger. I put the panel aside to let it dry. It results in a pretty and shiny panel. I added a red sentiment strip using Hero Arts Special to Me stamp set and silver embossing powder. I glued it in place. For more details on how I created this card, please check out my foleysfriend blog here.

See you later this month.
