You're a Legend!

 You're a legend! It's time for new collections at Hero Arts but my faaaavorite collection is called Don't Stop Believing. I do highly recommend that you get the entire bundle because the pieces mix and match really well together.

I was immediately drawn to this extra large die set called Gentle Giant. The set includes all of the dies I used on the card above. This card is secretly interactive, as the loch ness folds open to reveal the sentiment behind.

I added a little tab to my nessy to create a simple hinge which allows the loch ness to open. A how-to video will be shared soon! The sentiments are from the Unbelievably Awesome set and pair perfectly with the dies. And maybe the secret, sure to be overlooked, gem of a die set in the bundle is the Clouds Die Set. I cut a couple different clouds and ever so slightly blended the edges with Dusty Blue ink. The clouds will stay in an easy-to-grab spot in my office so I can use them for evvvverything!

My second card features the beautiful Lake of Legends layering stencil set. I included some cute elements from the Unbelievably Awesome stamp set, like the loch ness monster and the castle in the hills. The sweet banner sentiment is from the Unbelievably Awesome Banners set (different from the previous one!).

Those are my two cards to share for today! Thank you so much for stopping by. Some links are affiliates at no cost to you and help me keep this site alive. I appreciate your support!

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!
