Hello, crafty friends! It’s
Emily Leiphart here and I’m thrilled to be guesting on the Spellbinders blog, featuring the
Seahorse Kisses Collection by Dawn Woleslagle.
I’m a long-time fan of Dawn’s artistry and jumped at the chance to work with her first collection for Spellbinders. I love the aquatic theme of
Seahorse Kisses and the beautiful images and sentiments. I chose five colors, plus gold, to feature on all three of these cards using all five sets from this collection.
You Are Simply Amazing Jellyfish Card
My first card features a simple design featuring the
Seahorse Kisses Sentiments, which I heat foiled with
Matte Gold Hot Foil before using the
Cast Away 3D Embossing Folder across both the center
Glacier panel and the
Fern base panel.
I also used
Matte Gold Hot Foil on doll pink,
Peridot, and
Teal Topaz cardstock to create these beautiful jellyfish from
Under the Sea. After assembling the layers, I popped on the jellyfish with foam squares.
All three panels, including the
Mirror Gold frame, were cut using the
Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies and
Precision Layering A2 B Etched Dies.
Ocean of Thanks Card
My second card features the two small fish from
Under the Sea which I think are the cutest! I also used
Matte Gold Hot Foil on
Glacier and
Fern cardstock to add even more color to this “ocean” of fish.
To create the base panel, I die-cut it from the
Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies, then heat foiled the two sentiments together from
Seahorse Floral using
Matte Gold Hot Foil.
Whereas I used the
Cast Away 3D Embossing Folder in its original orientation on the first card, I turned it 90 degrees on this landscape card. As always, the large 5.5” x 8.5” size of Spellbinders embossing folders allows for so many creative uses.
Seahorse Garden Card
For my last card, I could’ve easily used the remaining hot-foiled images in this same design but I wanted to color the images from the
Seahorse Garden Stamp & Die Set. I used Zig clean color real brush markers in colors that coordinate with all the colors on the two previous cards.
After using the
Precision Layering A2 A Etched Dies to cut the base panel from doll pink cardstock, I used the middle two
Essential Duo Lines Glimmer Rectangles with
Matte Gold Hot Foil to create the inner frame.
I stamped the sentiment from the
Seahorse Garden Stamp & Die Set using black pigment ink and glued the bottom-most images around the edge of the panel. I used glue dots to attach the other images for a bit of dimension. Then I popped on the seahorse and the closest flowers with foam squares.
I hope you enjoyed this vibrant trio of aquatic cards! For more inspiration, please visit my blog,
