Phamtastic Design: Spellbinders

Hello there. I’m popping in with a couple of “dill”ightful cards featuring the Born to Dink stamp/die set from the This is Life collection released this month by Spellbinders (SBj. A very good friend plays pickleball, so I had to create this early birthday card for her.

Scraps of solid cardstock (white, pinks, yellows, grays and black) were used to die cut out all the pieces (paddle, ball, net, hat) The hat is from Birthday Wreath Add-On. A strip was trimmed from white and shaded with gray dye ink for the top of the net.

The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder. Bristol paper was spritz with water and dry embossed with the Plaster 3D embossing folder for ann icing/frosting background. Arranged and assembled the card onto a white card base, then added a Peach Blush gems to the hat pom-pom to finish.

My friend also met her boyfriend through pickleball, so I made this next card for her to give to him.. maybe for Valentine’s Day(?). 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was super easy. The paddles were die cut from scraps of pattern paper in my stash. The ball was die cut from lime cardstock and to give it dimension, Twisted Citron distress ink was ink blended on the back layer.

Arranged and assembled the card onto a textured panel in my stash to finish.
