Spellbinders Nature's Botanical Garden
You know I love flowers, so today I have a really cute card using gorgeous blooms from Spellbinder's Susan Tierney-Cockburn Nature's Botanical Garden collection.
I love this pickup truck filled with hydrangeas. I'm so impressed with how realistic the flowers look! Change the color of the flowers to match the season. I've never seen an orange hydrangea but who said the flowers had to be real? All colors of hydrangeas exist in my mind!
Here's the new die set I used for the flowers.

Using Layered Stencils to Make Cards
Have you seen Eileen's new layered stencils, Watercolor Flowers & Lattice? The stencils are such a great way to build a lovely floral design on your projects! Even better, there's a matching Thinlits Die Set, Painterly Blooms & Background that you can use to cut flowers that match the stenciled flowers.
Here's a card I made using both the stencils and the die set.
The process for making this card began with choosing a simple background piece of design paper cut to 5 1/8" square. The stencils in this set are designed to be used with the Sizzix Stencil & Stamp Tool but I don't have this tool yet so I just "winged it" and it worked just fine!
I used the lattice stencil first and just taped my stencil to my design paper and stenciled the lattice. I also marked the circles at the top so I could properly line up the leaf stencil. (pictured below)
There are so many creative things you can do with these stencils and die set. Be sure to stop by Eileen's blog to see all the wonderful creations of her inspiration team.
Thanks for visiting,
xoxo Maggi

Stacking Drawer Die from Eileen Hull Designs by Sizzix
Here's another fun and versatile die, Stacking Drawers, from the recent Sizzix vault release.
The drawers fit nicely inside the Treasure Box, also part of this vault release, or they can be stand alone as I crafted below.
This is easy to make! Follow along with me.

Introducing Eileen Hull's June Sizzix release!
Introducing Eileen Hull's June Sizzix release! This collection combines three classic Eileen Hull Sizzix Scoreboards dies and two new designs- a four layer stencil and coordinating Thinlits that cut a portion of the stencil! The three Scoreboards dies are the Treasure Box, Stacking Drawer and Notebook. The fun thing about this set is that they work together but also stand alone. The Treasure Box measures 3 1/4” x 5 1/4” x 4” and holds index cards, two stacks of ATC’s, a whole row of journaling cards and anything else you care to add. The Stacking Drawer fits a set of three drawers perfectly inside the Treasure Box to create a great storage solution for desk supplies, hair accessories, small collections, jewelry and much more. It also makes a great little gift box for something special! The Notebook is a favorite because of how quick and easy it is to create. One pass through the Big Shot and you have a book cover! It measures 5” x 3 1/2” x 3/4”. Cover with paper, fabric, metal or cut from leather. So many ways to use this. The Watercolour Florals & Lattice stencil is based on a watercolor I did. There are three stencil layers to give dimension and then a fourth layer versatile lattice design that can also be used to create a plaid pattern! Painterly Blooms & Background is a die that perfectly die cuts the flowers you have just stenciled so no fussy cutting needed
