Hey crafty friends welcome back. Last week I was up on the Spellbinders blog with a new stamping kit they just released. Spellbinders Take Time for You Project Kit. This is a fun kit with a plant themed stamp and die sets and I’m sharing 6 cards today created with some of the items in the kit.
This is a sneak peek release for you to get your hands on these products early. The regular price for the kit is $55.80, but you can get it now for $48.00 – VISIT SPELLBINDERS HERE.
I have just finished a very detailed set of cards for an upcoming post for Spellbinders so I decided for these ones I was going to take a minimalistic approach to the cards. I find sometimes clean and simple cards are just as rewarding do you?
Here’s the Spellbinders Take Time For You Project Kit video .
It walks you through the entire creation of the first three Plant Lady cards, and I have added the detailed instructions below for you as well: In addition, near the end of the video I share the second 3 cards I created with the second die set, and I have added those instructions at the end of this post as well:
Plant Lady Stamp and Die set cards:
The first three cards use the Plant Lady stamp and die set and as there is already lots of black and white in the stamps, I continued that theme with just a pop of color. I love green and blue with black and white and that color combo seemed fitting with plant images. of course you could pick your favorite colors for these cards too.
Plant Lady Card #1
Score and fold a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of white card at 4-1/4.
Next, place into a stamping platform and using black ink stamp the lady in the chair on the left and half the cat on the right.
Finally, stamp the sentiment near the top between the two images.
After that, using a separate piece of white card stock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2, stamp the prayer plant and the rubber tree in alcohol ink friendly black ink.
Color with Copic Markers:
Blue: BG11, BG13, BG49
Green: YG03 Yg23 YG67
To complete the card, use the coordinating dies to cut out the plants and then use foam squares to attach them to the card front between the lady and the cat.
Plant Lady Card #2
Score and fold a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of white card at 4-1/4.
Using an Alcohol ink friendly black ink pad, stamp all three images onto a piece of white cardstock.
Color with the Copic Markers and cut out with the coordinating dies.
Next, place the card base into the stamping platform and lay the plants in without adhering. This helps to position where to stamp the sentiment.
Stamp the sentiment in black ink.
Add a scribble line of the blue BG11 copic marker behind where each plant will be positioned on the card.
Finally, add foam squares to the back of each plant image and attach to the card
Plant Lady Card #3
Score and fold a 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 piece of white card at 4-1/4.
Mix a small amount of black acrylic paint with water and use a brush to splatter the card front.
Set it aside to dry.
Next, use the stamp platform to stamp the prayer plant 3 times onto white card stock.
Stamp the Hello Sentiment in embossing ink onto a scrap of black Licorice card stock.
Cover with white embossing powder, shake off excess and heat set.
Finally, angle cut the left side with scissors and trim the right side straight before attaching with foam squares near the bottom section of the card front.
Color the prayer plant images with the copic markers and then cut out with the coordinating dies.
Use foam squares to attach to the card front.
