Spellbinders | Fave Holiday Product Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a Spellbinders blog hop featuring favorite holiday products released this year. You should have reached me from the blog of Lisa Mears. Scroll to the end of the post for the full list of participants. For the hop, I chose to create with the Snow Globe die set, part of the Simon’s Snow Globes Collection by Simon Hurley. The enchanting allure of snow globes lies in their ability to transport us to whimsical realms, evoking feelings of warmth and joy.

To celebrate, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on our blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, November 19, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced on the Spellbinders blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping costs, duties, and taxes. Please note, store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions. Store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

This card came together quickly. I limited my supplies to patterned papers, Snowdrift cardstock, and the Snow Globe die set. I previously used the set HERE.

  • Create an A2-size card base and add a patterned paper background.
  • With the circle die in the Snow Globe set, cut the night sky from patterned paper. Use the same die to cut two circles of Snowdrift cardstock. With the snowbank die in the set, cut two snowbanks. Add the snowbanks to the night sky.
  • Cut the snow globe base and sentiment from patterned paper and Snowdrift cardstock. Assemble and add to the globe assembly.
  • Cut the trees, houses, and Santa and reindeer from patterned paper and Snowdrift cardstock. Assemble and add to the snow globe with dot and foam adhesive.
  • Add entire assembly to the card base with foam adhesive.

With its versatile designs, including a banner with flowers and a variety of sayings, this set makes it easy to create stunning and personalized cards for any occasion. In my recent project, I used a beautiful navy blue, floral, patterned paper for the card base background and added a pink banner with white lettering to convey the birthday message. To add a touch of elegance and charm, I also included pink and white flowers and a bird as embellishments. This handmade card is not only beautiful, but also thoughtful and unique, making it a perfect gift for your loved ones on their special day.

    • Add card kit patterned paper to A2-size card base.
    • With the Balloons & Birthday Wishes set, cut banner pieces from Pink Sand and Snowdrift cardstock. Add Spun Sugar ink to pink cardstock edges; assemble banner.
    • Cut sentiment from Snowdrift cardstock and add to banner. Add assembly to patterned paper background.
    • Cut flower pieces and leaves from Pink Sand, Snowdrift, and light green cardstock. Assemble and add to card with glue and foam adhesive.
    • Cut bird from Pink Sand and Snowdrift cardstock.

Spellbinders | January 2023 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2023 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Kotas.

My floral friendship card showcases blooms created with the Large Die of the Month set planted in a pot cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Happy Plant die set. I glimmer-foiled a sentiment in Gold using a plate in the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments set. The Glacier background was dry-embossed with the Intertwined Lattice folder. I added Gold Mix Gems for embellishment.

To play on the plant theme of the Quick & Easy Card Kit, I created a greenhouse (draw freehand or create with a drawing program). I cut the greenhouse and adhered it to a textured white card base. I added the elements to the scene using foam adhesive for extra dimension for some of the elements. I added a sentiment and enamel dots included in the kit.

Looking for more inspiration? I previously used the Large Die of the Month here, the Quick & Easy Card Kit here, and the Happy Plant die set here.
