Hello everyone, this is Gemma from
mygirllollipop.com. I am thrilled to be guest designing on the Spellbinders blog today, showcasing the new
Die D‐Lites collection. For all my cards today, I’ve also used some l
ovely cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey for my die cut pieces.
Card 1: Tiger, Oh My!
The Tiger, Oh My! D‐Lites set is the star of my first card today. This set comes with a great choice of accessories. I chose to dress my tiger in a top hat ‐ doesn’t he look smart!
I chose the following FSJ card and used my
Spellbinders Platinum 6 machine to die cut all the pieces:
For my background, I cut two pieces of white card and blended on distress oxide inks in Twisted Citron, Pine Needles and Chipped Sapphire. I then spritzed it with water for lots of droplet details.
I added some thin black strips to the inked panels, then layered them onto my card base. I used some dies from the
Wild About You D‐Lites set to create my sentiment. I layered glitter card stock over contrasting plain card to give each die cut a shadow. This also adds some dimension to the sentiment. To finish, I adhered a few pearl white jewels on the top panel.
Card 2: Drive Thru’
I used the
Drive Thru' D‐Lites set for my second card. I think this set is perfect for masculine birthday cards. It would be great for invitations too.
These are the colours of FSJ cardstock I chose:
I used white card to die cut the straw and another cup, to add a contrasting lid. Once I’d die cut them, I ran them through my die cutting machine again, this time using the embossing sandwich, to get those fantastic embossed details. I then added some quick shading with my copic markers, to highlight the embossing even more.
On my card base, I used a stencil and some distress oxide inks to add some rays. I added a strip of cardstock to help ground my die cut images, then stamped a greeting underneath. I added the drink and fries to the card using some liquid glue at the base and some foam squares towards the top for dimension, I then added the burger with foam tape, and some pearl white jewels for a finishing touch.
Card 3: Lion, Oh My!
On my last card, I used the cute
Lion, Oh My! D‐Lites set. I love the accessories that are included in this and the other sets in the collection. It’s fun to customize the characters for different looks.
I die cut all the pieces using the following FSJ card:
I adhered all the pieces together with liquid glue and added an orange enamel dot to the top of the hat.
For the sentiment, I heat embossed a stamped greeting onto a black card strip, using white embossing powder. To finish the greeting, I added a die cut word from the
Wild About You D‐Lites set. I layered together two white die cuts and finished with a green glitter top layer.
To add some colour to the background, I added some strips of patterned paper to the card base, along with a thin black card strip to bring it all together.
