Birthday Orchids

Hello everyone! This is Berina here today, with a beautiful floral birthday card that I made for my daughter's birthday recently. If you've seen my posts, you probably know I love floral cards especially adding 3 dimensional flowers. Orchids are one of the most beautiful flowers, my grandmother had a lot of them in her house.


I started by making the beautiful orchids. The dies are from one of Susan's Garden older set called Cattleya Orchids. I die cut them on my Craftwell SNAP. I used my Copics to add some shading to the die cuts before shaping them and putting them together. I die cut some oval pieces in white and purple and adhered the orchids and leaves to it. Added a simple birthday sentiment from an old Verve stamp set. 

What do you think about this card? Please do let me know. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Lily Of The Valley Basket

 Hello everyone! This is Berina here today, with a beautiful floral project perfect for Spring!


I love this Lily of the Valley from Susan's Garden dies. I created a bunch of the inflorescence and leaves. My Craftwell SNAP made it a breeze to die cut multiples of them. I made the basket using Divinity Designs - Bountiful Baskets die and embossed it with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder. I added a piece of thermocol to the basket, so that I could arrange the flowers and pin them. I broke few tooth picks in half and added them to the flower inflorescence and leaves with a very thin washi tape. This helped me pin them to the thermocol inside the basket. This was so much fun to make! 

How do you like this project? I have it on my work desk and it makes me happy.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Farewell Gladioli

Hello everyone! This is Berina here today, with a floral farewell card made with some die cut flowers.

I started with the background - I embossed a piece of 5 x 7 card stock with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder on my Cut N Boss and smooshed some light brown ink on it. This adds some more depth to the embossed feature. For making the flowers and the basket, I used the die set from Spellbinders Susan's Garden on my SNAP. I shaped the flower layers with flower shaping tools and adhered them with glue. I used foam tape to adhere the basket down, to give it some dimension. The fern leaves are dies from Spellbinders. I did not add a sentiment, since I made this card as a farewell gift from a bunch of us to a dear friend who moved to a different town, so that everyone can add their wishes on the inside of the card. 

What do you think of the card? Please do let me know in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Snowflakes For New Year

Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas weekend! This is Berina here today, with a few New Year cards using some snowflakes in gold on red. 


For the first card, I used the Happy New Year sentiment die cut from Gina Marie Designs. I die cut the sentiment and some snowflakes from gold card stock. I used a bunch of different snowflake dies - Simon Says Stamp - Joy Snowflake, Divinity Designs - Snow Crystals and Spellbinders - Create A Flake 6. 


For the second card, I used the same set of dies, just a different layout. I just die cut a bunch of snowflakes using my SNAP and arranged them on the card base till I liked the layout. 


For the third card, I decided to use the sentiment stamp from Power Poppy - Glistening Paperwhites. Same snowflake dies, just a different orientation and layout. I inked the edges of the red card stock panel with a darker red ink for some variation.

How do you like my Snowflake New Year cards today? Do let me know in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Wish you all a very happy New Year!

Golden Ornament

Hello everyone! This is Berina here today with a simple and quick Christmas card, perfect for making multiples. 

I normally gravitate towards to red, green and gold for Christmas cards. So this time, I decided to try navy and gold for a change. I used the ornament from Heartfelt Creations - Noel Christmas Ornament set. I really love this huge intricate ornament in gold against the navy. I inked the edges of the navy with a darker color ink to just give that slight variation in color. I die cut the ornament on my SNAP. The sentiment is from Divinity Designs - Christmas Mini Set, which I embossed with gold embossing powder.

What do you think? Have you mailed all your Christmas cards or yet to start making them? Do let us know in the comments. Thank you for stopping by today. Have a great day!

Framed Coreopsis

Hello everyone!! This is Berina here today, with a beautiful floral card using Susan's Garden dies.




One of our friends recently moved to a different city and I made this card for all of our friends to sign an a memento for them. What's better than a floral card? I had bought this die quite some time back and have used it  few time. This time, I decided to make the flowers in more Fall-ish colors. I followed Susan's videos to make the flowers. I used my Craftwell SNAP to die cut all the layers. I don't have all the flower shaping tools, so shaped them with what I have. I seemed fitting to add a frame for these flowers. I cut out a frame out of brown card stock and embossed it with Craftwell - Woodgrain Cottage embossing folder. I added this frame with foam tape on my 5 x 7 card base. Then I arranged the flowers and leaves and adhered them down. I didn't know what sentiment to add, so left it blank.

How do you like my card today? Please do let me know in the comments below. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Blue Flowers

Hello everyone! This is Berina here today, with a floral thank you card using beautiful blue flowers.


I used the Climber Flowers die set from Altenew to die cut the flowers and leaves on my SNAP machine. I have set this machine on my craft table and it's easier to use it for most of my die cutting now. I die cut them on white card stock and colored them with alcohol markers. It's easy to assemble by looking at the layering guide. Once I had the flowers and leaves all assembled, I took a white card base and used the Woven Stencil from Altenew to add a bit of a pattern to the card base. I arranged the flowers and leaves in the way I wanted and adhered them down. For the sentiment, I used the Fancy Hello die, again from Altenew, in black.

How do you like this card today? Please do let me know in the comments. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

DT: Using Recycled Negative Die Cuts in Finnabair Style

  



Hi, 
This is Veronica from vicky's scrapping passion, sharing with you my next post for Craftwell. 
Today, I wanted to show you two different projects I made using the Tattered Lace Magazine free alphabet dies from 2015.

First project, I'll show you what I made with the positive alpha die cuts.
I used the positive alpha die cuts made from thicker kraft cardstock as embossing patter for the class project title:


 I attached the letters to painters tape and made a sandwich using foil, the painters tape and a foam sheet. I run the whole sandwich through the SNAP and used the embossed words as title, hand embossing the numbers.

This went really nicely with the students' class project on the right side below:


 Last year I participated in Art Venture 2021's class 
Inspired by that class, I decided to make my second project recycling the negative cuts from the alphabet strip I had cut for the school Gala class project for my daughter's class as part of the background design, and I to recycle an iPad packaging as canvas instead of the original journal covers.

Here is Finnabair's class example:






In short and without going into details, I followed Finnabair's instructions and finished my two wall hangings:



Craftwell Tools
SNAP die cut machine


Other Companies:

Prima Art Venture by Gather Class Kit
Dies:  2015 Alphabet Magazine free gift, Tattered Lace
Used Tissue Paper
Mini iPad case
Cloth Tags

Here are some closeups of the lovely final collages:



 I hope you enjoy it these fun projects and please follow my blog as well: vicky's scrapping passion.

Happy summer,

Vicky Tovar
