Special Moments Inspiration | Layered Cards with Hussena

Hello everyone! This is Hussena from Quill and Punch Works, and I am really excited and honoured to be guesting today on the Spellbinders Paper Arts blog. This post is a part of a series featuring dies from the Special Moments collection by Marisa Job. You can check out my first post using the dies from the Special Moments collection here.

This is an amazing collection with some gorgeous, intricate dies. I love how there a number of different dies in this collection, and there is something for everyone! Here’s a look at my first card for today:

When I first saw the Special Day Frame Etched die set from this collection, I knew I had to create a card using it! I love how ornate and pretty it looks. To create my card, I first started by die cutting the second largest die from the Vintage Stitched Squares Etched die set from a light blue patterned paper to create my first card layer. Next, from gold foil cardstock, I cut out the outside swirl die from the Special Day Frame Etched Die set.

To further embellish my card, I used the middle swirl frame from the same die set, but this time I die cut it from White 80 LBS cardstock and stacked four-five die cuts together to give it a raised look. I colored the frame using a light pink marker to match with the colour tones of the sentiment. The little circle die cut that you see in the center of the frame was die cut from a patterned paper using the small circle insert die. My whole card is practically made using the Special Day Frame Etched die set. I love how it offers so many elements in a single die set!

I’m obsessed with creating Foamiran flowers at the moment, and had to incorporate some on this card too. I used the Floral Oval Etched die set to die cut my flowers from Ivory Foamiran sheets. I inked the centers using a light pink dye ink, and then added cream thread pollens to finish the look. The leaves were hand cut by me, and were slightly inked at the edges to give it a more realistic look.

I also created few mini filler flowers using the smallest flower die from the Floral Oval Etched die set. This time I added yellow wired pollens to the centre. I also added two pink fillers to finish my floral cluster.

This picture shows the true colour of the gold foil cardstock. It’s always so hard to capture it on camera.

My next card is a break from my layered, floral cards. I wanted to create a CAS card using these dies, and here’s what I came up with:

To create this card, I first started with an A2 White card base. I matted some gold foil cardstock on the base, and then layered a piece of black textured cardstock over it. I know it’s not quite visible in the picture, but I have used black woodgrain cardstock. You can see the texture a bit on the circle. I love the subtle texture it adds to the card!

I have used the Floral Lace Border Etched die set to create that gorgeous geometric background on my card. I cut out four strips of the lace from gold foil cardstock and adhered them over the black card panel.

I used the Swirls Border Etched die set on the two sides of my cards to create a delicate looking cluster. The light blue mini flowers are made using the smallest flower die from the Floral Oval Etched die set. I inked the swirls using a green marker to create the foliage for my carnation and blue flowers.

I also added some yellow fillers to accentuate my card.

And here’s a final look at the card. I die cut a circle using the Standard Circles SM, heat embossed a sentiment in gold, popped it on my card front, and I was all done!

'Hello! My name is Hussena, and I live in Kolkata, India. I am a stay at home mum of two kids and have been crafting for over five years now. I started my creative journey with paper quilling and since then have dabbled in various paper crafting forms like punch craft, die cutting, and more recently stamping. I am an ardent floral fan and you will find me using florals on almost all my creations. I love working with dies, especially floral and intricate ones, as they offer me various possibilities. I also love to create my own handmade flowers, and this is one of the reasons why I am drawn to Spellbinders dies. You can find my work on my blog: Quill and Punch Works
