Spellbinders - More Bibi’s Musical Notes

Hello everyone.  I’m back to share more cards featuring the Bibi’s Musical Notes collection by Bibi Cameron from Spellbinders (SB).  First up is a pink Christmas card in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness month. 


The snow-woman from North Pole Sentiments was in my stash.  The sentiment, also from North Pole Sentiments, was die cut from X-Press It paper and coloured with a RV55 Copic Sketch marker. 


For the background, a snowy slope was fussy cut from white cardstock then flipped over to be used as a mask on a light pink panel before ink blending Picked Raspberry distress ink.  Glued the snow-woman to the scene then splattered with white gouache paint.  The music notes and stave were die cut from gold foil paper.  Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.


My second card is a birthday card.  


The Musical Notes 3D embossing folder.was used to dry emboss a piece of Bristol paper.  Brown ink left on a blending tool was then lightly applied to the raised music notes.  


Die cut the Mini Musical Instruments from gold foil, Kraft and chocolate paper.  Added dimension to the violin by ink blending chocolate dye ink to it.  Die cut a few music notes from black cards rock.  Assembled the card onto a white card base then finished with a gold foiled sentiment in my stash from the Birthday Sentiments sẻt (currently on sale at 50% off). 


Here’s the trio (the piano easel card is in this previous post)

Simon Says Stamp - Sugar and Spice

Hello everyone.  The new Sugar and Spice release from Simon Says Stamp (SSS) is available now in their shop. 


Featuring the Christmas Cats stamp set, here’s my card


I wanted to use all the cat images, so stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and masking with NoFuss masking sheets were used to create this punny cat tree Christmas card.  Coloured the images with Copic Sketch markers and framed using arch dies.  The sentiment was heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder and clear shimmer was added to the star for some sparkle to finish.

Spellbinders - Bibi’s Musical Notes

Hello there.  I have a fun and simple piano easel card to share today featuring the Bibi’s Musical Notes collection by Bibi Cameron released last month from Spellbinders (SB).  


The idea came from this Splitcoaststampers Grand Piano.  Modified the instructions to accommodate the smaller size piano keys.  Instead of printing out the piano shape, the Stylish Oval dies was used to trace and manually create the piano shape from a 3-1/ 2” x 4-1/4” piece of Bristol paper. 


To prop up the easel, the microphone base was die cut from black five times and stacked for dimension.  Then it was cut down/shortened to fit/hide behind the piano flap when closed.  Pressed the Butterfly Bouquet letterpress plate onto Bristol paper then fussy cut out.  Assembled onto a black 4-1/4”x5” panel and mounted onto a white card base.  Added the black die cut Treble Clef to finish.  Will add an appropriate sentiment when it gets used.

Spellbinders - Classic Mouse Christmas Embellishments

Hello everyone.  I’m back today to share another Christmas card using more products from  Spellbinders (SBJ new releases this month.  


My card features the Classic Mouse Christmas Embellishments add-on etched dies from the Say Cheese Classic Mouse Christmas collection by Simple Stories.  Mickey and Minnie bases were in my stash from these cards.  After dressing them in their festive attire, C00/1/3 Copic Sketch markers were then used to add texture to the trims and pom-poms of their hats.  


For the background, the Peppermint Twist press plate from the Merry Mischief collection was inked with Lumberjack Plaid distress ink and pressed onto mixed media paper using the BetterPress Letterpress system.  It was too bright and competed with Mickey and Minnie, so a vellum overlay was used to soften it.  The sentiment was also in my stash after making this card.   Assembled the card onto a white card base to finish.

Spellbinders - Chimney Caper

Hello there.  I’m popping in to share a fun and simple Christmas card featuring the Chimney Caper stamp and die set from the Merry Mischief collection by Spellbinders (SB).

Here’s my card. 


As the packaging depicts, this die set creates a chimney roof top Santa scene.  To complete the scene, I did some masking/ink blending with distress inks (DI) and added texture/details with Copic Sketch markers. 

DI used:
sky - Stormy Sky, Chipped Sapphire 
chimney cast shadow - Lost Shadow 
chimney/shading Santa - Black Soot 
Copic markers used:
moon/Santa suit trims - C00/1/3, 0 blender 
snow - B000, BV000, C1 


Adhered and assembled the card onto a white card base, then stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink and splattered with diluted white gouache paint to finish.
