Happy Earth Day -Tim Holtz Vault World Travel With a Message of Peace

 Hi everyone and happy Earth Day! I have a clean and simple card with a simple message of peace.  I used two of the new Tim Holtz Vault 2 Everyday release die sets. In case you missed it, you can check out my first card post using the Vault Watch Gears die set HERE.

VAULT WORLD TRAVEL, VAULT BOUQUET

My card uses the Vault World Travel and Vault Bouquet die sets. I wanted to keep things mostly white with a touch of pale blue, so I lightly inked Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide to my cardstock and die cut from that.

I added some shimmer to the flourishes and letters using the Clear Shimmer Glitter Brush Marker. I love using Glitter Brush markers, they have such a nice shimmer you can even see it in photos!

I wanted this CAS card to reflect all of our simple wish for this Earth Day: Peace.

Supplies used on this card:

Tim Holtz Vault 2 Everyday release

 Vault World Travel #666606 die set

Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink

Pinkfresh Studio Clear Dots Iridescent

Clear Shimmer Glitter Brush Marker

Spellbinders Glimmering Peonies - 2 card designs

 Hi everyone! I'm back today sharing 2 more cards using the Glimmering Flowers collection by Spellbinders. This collection features two A2 sized floral glimmer plates, 1 glimmer sentiment plate with dies and a coordinating layering stencil sets for both of the florals! If you missed my previous post sharing 2 Glimmering Buttercup cards, you can check it out HERE.

GLIMMERING PEONIES AND CURVED EVERYDAY SENTIMENTS

 My first card uses the Glimmering Peonies plate and a sentiment from the Curved Everyday Sentiments. I foiled the peonies with gold foil and stenciled them with shades of peachy-corals with several shades of cool toned blue green leaves.

Like the Glimmering Buttercups, the Peonies plate has coordinating layering stencils which I love because these are large and for those who don't like lots of coloring, layering stencils are a good option. The Glimmering Peonies glimmer plate WITH layering stencils is $15.19 more than the plate alone.

To add a little something extra, I looked through my stash of Be Bold Blooms and found the perfect shade of peachy-coral die cut and I added it over the left side of the sentiment which I foiled in gold.

 

GLIMMERING PEONIES AND YANA'S SPECIAL SENTIMENTS
 

For my second card, I went with something totally different for me. I foiled the Glimmering Peonies plate with gold foil on Blue Spruce cardstock and lightly colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils. 

I love my white cards, but there is something magical with dark cards. I matted the image to matte gold cardstock then adhered it to a black card base. This card came together pretty fast, especially when I have a variety of sentiments already foiled and die cut in my stash.

Fresh Picked Vase Just Because card

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a fun card from the Fresh Picked collection by Spellbinders. This month Spellbinders released 3 die sets to this collection, this is the first time I've used a die set from this collection and I just love how it turned out.

FRESH PICKED VASE BOUQUET

 

 The die set is called Fresh Picked Vase Bouquet and it's designed to fill the entire card front of an A2 sized card. The sentiment is from the new Curved Everyday Sentiments Glimmer. I love the variety of sentiments in this set. I glimmered a variety of colors to keep in my stash so I can grab and adhere.

I used a color combination from the Color Cube Volume 2 and I just love how the colors pop together.

To create the detailing in the vase, I die cut a second vase then embossed it with the Leafy Helix embossing folder. Then I trimmed a strip near the bottom and adhered Champagne Glitter cardstock to both sides. For the details along the top I used the tiny flower centers. I just love the extra wow factor the glitter cardstock adds!

Spellbinders Glimmering Buttercups - 2 card designs

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing 2 cards using the Glimmering Flowers collection by Spellbinders.This collection features two A2 sized floral glimmer plates, 1 glimmer sentiment plate with dies and a coordinating layering stencil sets for both of the florals!

GLIMMERING BUTTERCUPS AND CURVED EVERYDAY SENTIMENTS

 My first card uses the Glimmering Buttercups plate and a sentiment from the Curved Everyday Sentiments. I foiled the buttercups with black foil and stenciled them with shades of yellow with cool toned blue green leaves.

I love that this collection has coordinating layering stencils. These are large images and for crafters who are intimidated by lots of coloring, layering stencils are a great solution at a really great price. The Glimmering Buttercups glimmer plate WITH layering stencils is $12.59 more than the plate alone.

I wanted to bring out more of the green in the leaves, so I foiled the sentiment with green foil. I love how it turned out!

 

GLIMMERING BUTTERCUPS AND WONDERFUL SCRIPT SENTIMENTS
 

For my second card, I went with a no-coloring and clean look. I foiled the Glimmering Buttercups plate with Pastel Mint (from the 4 pack of Satin Pastels) and trimmed it down to fill the lower left side.

I added a few gold gems to the centers and added a die cut sentiment and was done! This card was pretty easy to make, especially when I have a variety of sentiments already foiled and die cut in my stash.

Tim Holtz Vault Watch Gears card

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com and sharing inspiration for the Tim Holtz Vault 2 Everyday release. This release celebrates 15 years of collaboration between Tim Holtz and Sizzix and they brought back 5 die sets reimagined with new sizes!

For my mini slimline card, I used the amazing gear dies from the Vault Watch Gears set #66603. I die cut them from silver mirror, holographic and forest green cardstock and I lightly stenciled the background using the Halftone stencil using Rustic Wilderness distress oxide ink. I wish the camera captured the wonderful sparkle of the holographic paper better, in photos it shows up as a blueish color which is misleading.

All of the accent "dots" I used around the gears are the negative pieces from the gears die cuts. I love to save all my die cut bits and pieces to see what I can use as accents! It's a great way to coordinate accents perfectly.

Stay tuned over the next couple of weeks for a few more cards using these amazing die sets. In the meantime, be sure to check out the entire release and take advantage of Scrapbook.com's pricing, coupon codes and freebies you get with each order!

The other sets are Vault Boutique, Vault Matchbox, Vault World Travel, Vault Picture Show.
