Spellbinders Sunshine and a SALE!

Good morning! I have a post using a pretty new die from Spellbinders called Sun Face Die D-Lites. This super detailed die is gorgeous enough to be a focal point on it’s own, so I kept this project fairly simple. I die cut the  Sun Face Die D-Lites three times from some shimmery yellow gold card stock, then adhered them all together to create a sturdy, dimensional die cut embellishment. 

For the background, I blended Ripe Persimmon, Carved Pumpkin, and and Scattered Straw Distress Oxide inks, then splattered some orange and gold metallic inks, followed by some water that I dabbed off with a paper towel to lift some of the Distress Oxide ink off. I wanted to create a background reminiscent of the sun’s surface, with splatters and lava explosions. 

I adhered the dimensional sun die cut, then added the greeting from Honey Bee Stamps’ Sending Sunshine collaboration with Ellen Hutson. It was the perfect stamp to go with this simple project!

Now, for the sale: Spellbinders is running a  Winter Clearance sale with 100’s of NEW Markdowns from December 18-23! This will be a great chance to stock up on some of the fabulous dies released this year that you’ve had your eye on. Be sure to shop early for the best selection! 

Thanks so much for dropping by today, and have a marvelous Tuesday! 

Reverse Confetti March 2018 Release-Day 3!

Good morning! I’m back today with Day 3 of the Reverse Confetti March 2018 Sneak Peeks!

Monday we had freaking adorable bears and seals, yesterday we had beautiful blooms and foliage, and today we are bringing you….

 

My Sunshine! Aren’t those sentiments just precious??

We also have the Stitched Rays cover panel, which is going to be SO versatile.

For my project today, I wanted to use that precious “you are my sunshine” sentiment from the My Sunshine set. (I sing that song to my kiddos, so I just had to use this sentiment first!!) I started by die cutting the sun rays and the circle from some sunny yellow card stock that I had in my stash and heat embossed the sweet sentiment in white. I then used Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone to cover the sun’s rays. Get your sunglasses out. SO sparkly!!!

While the glimmer paste was drying, I did some work on the card front. I die cut the Stitched Rays cover plate from some Bristol paper, then blended Butter Bar and Soft Sky inks. I absolutely love the way this turned out… it almost looks realistic! I adhered the pieces of my sun together, then added them to the card front using foam adhesive.

The finishing touch was to add some sunny sequins and jewels to add even more sparkle.

Well, that’s all for me today!! I hope you’ve enjoyed my projects for the last few days… tomorrow is the big day! You can get your shop on in the Reverse Confetti store! We will also have a fabulous blog hop with even more inspiration, so be sure to check back in tomorrow!
