Without Change… | Card Recipe

Hello! Quick post today just to share a card that I created using a pretty Spellbinders die set that features a large butterfly. I always have liked to use butterflies as the focal point for cards. They are so much fun!

Without Change…

This die set in particular is fun because it helps assemble and create an interactive butterfly. You can make the butterfly pop-up when you open the card or you can simply use it as a regular die.

The butterfly of my card has three layers. The first one was die cut from white card stock and then I applied color using a sponge dauber and a couple of ink colors. I also sprinkled some sparkle silk over it. The second layer was die cut from black cardstock and adhered to the colored layer with craft glue. The third layer is the body of the butterfly and it was die cut from brushed silver cardstock.

The backgrounds of this card is very simple. I used a sponge dauber and ink directly from the ink pad to create it. I like that you can see a bit of the cardstock texture on the card. A sentiment and a few silver sequins were the final touches for this card.
Below you can watch a video of how I did a similar background using liquid colors.

Thank You | Card Recipe

Hi! I am back today just to share another card that I made using almost the same supplies of my previous card. Once again, the highlight of this card is the background that I created using the Ranger Stamping Foam. For this card, I used a few different colors of Distress Oxide Inks and after I applied them over the foam, I spritzed a bit of water over it… the unpredictable results always amaze me!

Thank You

To color the pretty butterfly I used my Copic markers and to give the image a bit of a shine I used my Wink of Stella Pen. I know is hard to see in the picture, but it looks really pretty in real life😉.

Another product that I love to use instead of gemstones is the Nuvo Glitter Drops White Blizzard. With this product you can simply put some drops here and there and then just wait a bit until it dries. The results are always fantastc!

Anyway, please don’t forget to watch this fun Spellbinders video where is shown how the Ranger Stamping Foam is used: https://youtu.be/wpxh3d5SZYs

A Note of Thanks | Card Recipe

Hello! Time flies when you are busy. It has been a while since my last post, but I finally had the chance to sit for a little bit to post a card that I made a few weeks ago using some great products that you can find at the Spellbinder store. The highlight of this card is the background that I created using something really new for me, the Ranger Stamping Foam.

With the Ranger Stamping Foam, you can create unique backgrounds using different things like die cuts, stamps or any other object with dimension or texture that can be embossed on the foam. The process is simple, you only need a heat craft tool, a stamping foam and some objects that can create an embossed image. For this technique, you can experiment using different type of inks, colors, etc. The sky is the limit!

A Note of Thanks

Be aware that my post includes affiliate links, which means that if you click on and shop through them, I will receive a tiny commission at no cost for you. Thanks!


To create the background you start by heating the foam with a heat craft tool for about 15-30 seconds. Then, you press the foam onto a textured surface for about 15 seconds ( You can previously arrange dies, stamps or other objects over a flat surface). After that, you can ink it up and use it as a stamp. What I love the most about this foam is that you can re-use it. You just re-heat it and the texture will disappear; this awesome foam, will be ready to use again.

Please be sure to watch this fun Spellbinders video where the process is visually explained: https://youtu.be/wpxh3d5SZYs

Two Cards Featuring Great Holiday Products from Spellbinders

December celebrations are around the corner so it is time to start sending our Holiday cards to friends and family. Today I would like to share two of the cards that I made, using Spellbinders and FSJ products. I will only mention tips or tricks and the list the products of these cards below the pictures, since I believe the process of making these cards is simple.

Be aware that my post includes affiliate links, which means that if you click on and shop through them, I will receive a tiny commission at no cost for you. Thanks!

Card #1 feautres: Die-D-Lites Deck the Halls and Yana’s Christmas Sentiment Hot Foil Plate and Die Set Foil :

Tip 1: Use black or white foam to die cut the larger shapes to add dimension.
Tip 2: Use embossing folders to add texture to part of the background, that helps to enhance the focal point.

Tip 3: Make more than one sentiment when you are using your Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, which is always fun to use. You can have sentiments ready to use for more projects!

This amazing die set can easily be paired with the Plant Lady Stamp Set, as I did, using one of the sentiments I thought it was just perfect for my card.

Here is card #2:

This is literally a green card 😉 I used different green tones of Liquid Colors to create a striped background, and then I simply stamped some of the Plant Lady Stamp Set images with Black Licorice Ink over Whip Cream Cardstock. Then, I die cut them with their matching dies. I complemented with a white-embossed sentiment and some green sequins.

New Buzzworthy Collection from FSJ & SB + Project Kit

Hello, hello! I am happy to share with you today a card that I created with a couple of stamp sets from the New Buzzworthy Collection from FSJ+ Spellbinders. This collection includes wonderful stamp sets and a brand new stencil that can be used all year round.

My card combines two of the stamp sets included in the collection. It showcases an image from the Sweet as Honey Stamp Set, as well as a sentiment from the Block Prints Stamp Set, check it out:

I began by creating the striped background using Peaches & Cream Liquid Color and a square paint brush. I simply applied some drops of color and water over a palette and I picked up the color with the brush. I created the stripes over Whip Cream cardstock, I let the panel dry and then, I trimmed off the edges. I matted the panel with Peaches & Cream cardstock and after that, I adhered the panel over a Oatmeal Cookie folded card.

Be aware that my post includes affiliate links, which means that if you click on and shop through them, I will receive a tiny commission at no cost for you. Thanks!

Next, I stamped the flower image onto Whip Cream cardstock. Then, I enhanced the petals and center of it with Journey Color Splash Watercolor Pencils and the leaf was colored with a Mermaid Marker Art Essentials by Jane Davenport. Additionally, I added some Journey Glaze and Sparkle cuts details. I used a Wooden Hoop with vellum as the frame of the flower and to finish, I complemented the card with a sentiment and some pearls.

The complete Buzzworthy Collection will soon be released at the store, but right now what FSJ+SB has available is this amazing Project Kit, which includes all what you see in the picture below:
