Hello Sunshine 🍋 – Two Takes on La Dolce Vita

Spellbinders | La Dolce Vita Collection
06/13/2025

Hello all!

These two cards were such a joy to create using products from Spellbinders’ La Dolce Vita collection — and they’re giving full-on sunshine and sweet summer vibes! Whether you’re going bold and dramatic or soft and subtle, this collection brings the charm. 🍋🌸

Both designs feature beautifully layered lemons, delicate florals, and textured backgrounds — but with two different approaches to color and layout. The result? Two cards, totally different feels, both bursting with cheerful energy.

Design Highlights:

  • 🍋 Lemons for Days – Dimensional die-cut lemons steal the spotlight on both cards — full of sunshine and depth.
  • 🖤 Dark & Dramatic – One card uses a navy die-cut shape for high contrast that makes the yellows and pinks pop!
  • 🧼 Light & Fresh – The second card keeps things soft with tone-on-tone layers and a crisp white base.
  • 🧩 Textured Backgrounds – That embossed, fresco design adds instant Mediterranean flair.
  • 🏷️ Banner Love – The “Hello Sunshine” sentiment banner feels like a cheerful little hug — and works perfectly on both styles!

These cards are a great reminder that you can use the same dies and mix up your colors or layout to get completely different vibes. And let’s be real: there’s never a bad time to send a little sunshine 🌞

I hope you have a wonderfully creative day!

I fell in love with card-making many years ago and I’ve been hooked on it ever since. I love trying out new techniques and finding the perfect color combination for whatever I’m creating.

By nature, I am an uber-organizer and a steadfast planner, but as you’ll see, my creations are much more fluid. And while I love color theory, the concept of lights and shadows, and the importance of depth and perspective – these are not things I worry about when it comes to my creations.

I simply find joy in creating and delight in sharing.

I hope that by sharing my cards and other art with you here on my blog I can inspire you to create something you love!
