Summertime Garden Cards

 There's a beautiful new collection out from Spellbinders called Summertime by Lisa Horton and it is filled with beautiful floral dies. I have two cards to share that use the Garden Planter Die and the Decorative Lattice Die.

So many possibilities with a floral die set like this. I followed the color inspiration from my ColorCube card pretty closely and used Spellbinders ColorWheel cardstocks. I cut enough flowers to make two cards.

The Decorative Lattice die worked really well for a corner accent on this card. I also embossed the white panel with the Crackle Paint folder, which adds a great texture.

I had some flowers left over my die cutting so here is card #2! This time I used the Decorative Lattice die straight across the bottom. I cut away the thin border that the die leaves behind so the lattice stays open.

I used my old school Spellbinders circle dies to get this card started. The flowers lay really nicely around the circle die to give a half-frame. Finished with a sentiment and the card is complete!

Shine Bright Sunshine

 Hope your day is as bright as the sun! Y'all... I stitched on a stitching die card! This one was so easy, I had no excuse not to.

If you're not a subscriber, you can sign up now to ensure you get this fun sunshine die. This is the May Stitching Die of the Month, which includes that back stitching plate and the cute sunshine.

I used some shimmery gold twine and added a sunny sentiment - and that was that!

Inlay Lattice Die 5 Ways

 I love a good inlay die, especially where multiples can be made at once. The pieces just fit right in like a puzzle and it's quite satisfying.

These 5 cards all feature the Diamond Lattice Inlay Die. I die cut the Diamond Lattice in 4 colors of cardstock: Blueberry, Carnation, Harbor, and Creamsicle. I also cut one in plain white cardstock for my "leftovers" card.

My process is shown above. For each color cardstock, I would separate the inlay pieces in groups of three, then add those pieces randomly into the full inlay die. If a group of pieces didn't divide evenly, I would save some for leftovers.

I did not use any cardstock color pieces that were the same as the inlay frame. That's why there are some white spaces left, but I actually really like how that looks.

Each card has the 'thanks' sentiment against a champaign cardstock banner. These dies are from the Briar and Blooms Bundle.

And perhaps the last card is my favorite - and it's my "leftovers" card! Any of the inlay bits and pieces that I couldn't use in other cards ended up on this white one...
