Field Notes Trio | Spellbinders

Thank you to my friends at Spellbinders for sending me some products to play with. Here’s how I was inspired today:

Today’s project features the following NEW Spellbinders product:

Field Notes 3D embossing Folder from the Field Notes Collection

I also used these Spellbinder products:

Woodland Tales Fern | die
Propagation Garden Sentiments | stamp + die
Holding Your Heart Sentiments | Betterpress plates + dies
Rainforest Cardstock | Rainbow Hues Assortment
Porcelain BetterPress | A2 Cotton Card Panels
BetterPress Black | ink

I wanted to show the embossing folder used in a couple of different ways.

The gorgeous 3D embossing folder has so many details. For this first card I used a watercolor panel and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum 6. I then used blending brushes to blend in the following Distress Oxides:

Shabby Shutters
Twisted Citron
Mowed Lawn

The sentiment is from the Propagation Garden Sentiments | stamp + die.

My second project uses the embossing folder in the traditional way, with white cardstock, plain. I added the following other Spellbinder products:

Woodland Tales Fern | die
Holding Your Heart Sentiments | Betterpress plates + dies
Rainforest Cardstock | Rainbow Hues Assortment
Porcelain BetterPress | A2 Cotton Card Panels
BetterPress Black | ink

The clean + simple design makes my crafty heart happy.

TIP: Have you tried out the BetterPress system yet? I’ll be the first to say that I’ve always struggled with the glimmer and foiling. I was gifted the BetterPress System and it was easy from the very first project.

I’ve been dabbling in mixed media a bit more and this technique uses the distress oxides being applied directly onto the embossing folder and then spritzed with water. My panel is watercolor paper and it is longer than an A2 so that I could include more of the design. Check out this Simon Hurley YouTube. I added the following other Spellbinder products:
