Hello friends!
I am back again with Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies.
About this die set: This Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies is part of the Be Bold Collection. The
set of 21 thin metal dies creates a fabulous spray of big and bold
blooms! Use some or all of them, it goes well with any type of projects
that calls for a wonderful floral motif!
Have you tried diecutting with pattern paper? It is one of my favorite things to do. The pattern paper makes diecutting easy and fun.
For the framing, I am using the die from Geo Foliage Glimmer Hot Foil and Die Set. This set comes with 10 beautiful dies and 11 hot foil plates. If you have a Glimmer Hot Foil Machine, this is definitely a set to be considered.
The pattern paper I used is from This month's January Card Kit. Isn't that font beautiful? The sentiment is from Yana Smukula's Layered Script Sentiment.
I also used the new Spellbinders Gemstones. These new and improved gems are shiny and dimensional! You want instant bling? This is it!

I hope your Friday is a great one so far. I decided to do a brief reviews on my projects based on love/Valentine's themed. I am focusing the products from Spellbinders. Currently, Spellbinders is running a "Feel The Love" sales offer.
This card has a base plate and that makes it super easy to assemble. The peeking out flowers are extra shiny and firm thanks to the Glossy Accent.
Another take with the SAME die.
This Trefoil Panel and Tile do all the work! All you need to do is die cut and assemble.
Changing up the colors and embellishments give you a total different feel!

Hello friends!
Product alert: this Celebrate with Cake Die was out of stock everywhere, it is finally back in stock! If you are interested, you should act asap.
I am sharing a birthday card with you today. Our dear friend Kirk recently turned 70. I made a a simple classic card with a cake. If you struggle with milestone masculine birthday card, here is a formula that you can refer to.
1. select a shape die: , In this case, we have a shape cake die that that makes creating the theme card much easier.
2. Create a background: you can stamp a geometric background or apply ink-smooshing for an interesting background. I used a large Washi Tape for a quick background.
3. Dress up the details: what makes a card a stand-out is all that extra detailed/thoughtfulness that you put into. I dressed up of the cake stand by using embossing folder!
👉👉 All you need to do is to position the piece under the Baroque Frame 3D Embossing Folder
4. Customize the colors/theme! I was inspired by the flavor of the cake that Kirk likes. I think he likes chocolate, carrot and pumpkin-spiced flavors.
5. Add the number: it's always great to see the number of years on the birthday card. It is quite effective for teen/ masculine cards, especially it is a milestone number (like 40,50.....etc.)
With all 5 tips in mind, you will not be stumped by the idea of creating a masculine card in a rush.
As always, your kind comments and wonderful feedback truly make my blogging life so much more meaningful. I also appreciate your use of my affiliate links. With your support, I was able to give the generous donations that they need. THANK YOU!

Hello friends!
I am popping in to share a happy and cheery card. We are in the mist of dead winter. My yard and trees may look beautiful in the winter wonder. BUT, I am missing seeing colors!
Introducing Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies.
About this die set: This Be Bold Blooms Etched Dies is part of the Be Bold Collection. The set of 21 thin metal dies creates a fabulous spray of big and bold blooms! Use some or all of them, it goes well with any type of projects that calls for a wonderful floral motif!
In today's card, I also tried out the new Spellbinders Gemstones. These new and improved gems are shiny and dimensional! You want instant bling? This is it!
One thing that I want to mention is... do not get overwhelmed with these 21 pieces of dies at first. All you need is to get acquainted with each piece and you will feel so accomplished once you started assembling (ask me how I know!).
How do you get "acquainted" with the die? I would find the photo of the sample (from the Spellbinders website) and have it facing right at me on my craft desk. By spending just a few minutes, you would get the sense how all the pieces come together. Mind you, you do not have to follow exact instructions.... I love to make my own sometimes. However, it is definitely easy to have a guide to follow.
Little by little, you will be able to assemble your own flowers. I also recommend that you study the bouquet photos over Pinterest. Observe the flower bouquet's composition and colors.... and so on.
Once you do all that, you will ace this set and have a blast creating your own bouquet. I colored all the pieces with Alcohol Markers. I used Altenew Artist Markers since I have the most colors from the Altenew collection. However, you can use ANY coloring medium in your stash.
I also want to point out that Spellbinders' new Precision Layering Dies are a dream to work with. No more weird or odd rectangles! No more measuring! Just die cut and layer.... I used two of the layering dies and they make the design look even more polished.
