cardmaking - Right as Rain

Alexandra Renke Cozy Cabin Scene

Hello! Today I’m sharing a die-cut, winter-themed card featuring the Alexandra Renke Forest Cabin die set.

I cut the Forest Cabin pieces from white, red, and gray cardstock. The door to the cabin was fussy-cut.
I cut the white snowbank and added it to the background panel stamped with a Rubbernecker sentiment.
I cut a frame with a Taylored Expressions die set.
I added the trees, cabin, and birds to the scene and put the assembly on Stampin’ Up patterned paper.

Supplies: Alexandra Renke Forest Cabin, Elizabeth Craft Designs Adventure Edges, Rubbernecker Snowmen with Presents, Taylored Expressions Frame die

Penny Black Winter Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, winter-themed card created with Penny Black supplies.

I cut the penguins and snow bank with the 51-668 Festive Family die set. (I previously used this set here.)
I stamped the background paper with a 30-799 Snowflake Season sentiment.
I cut a patterned paper frame and inner frame (white cardstock) using circle dies.
To fill the sky, I added snowflakes cut with the 51-268 A Blizzard, 51-080 Around Town, and 51-066 Crystal Trio sets.

Supplies:

Spellbinders January 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Happy 2021! I’m delighted to be sharing two projects created with the January 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Slimline Kaleidoscope
Hearts” – at Spellbinders.

My first project is a slimline Valentine’s Day card.

I cut the Large Die of the Month frame from Whip Cream cardstock.
I used the frame to cut the smaller hearts from red paper and inlaid them into the frame. I backed the frame with Brush Gold cardstock.
I cut two kaleidoscope hearts from white cardstock and two shades of red, backing the assembly with a solid heart cut from dark red.
I heat-embossed the Sending My Love sentiment in white on red and cut it with the frame die. (The solid heart of the kaleidoscope is slightly smaller than the large heart of the frame.)
I adhered the sentiment heart and kaleidoscope hearts to the frame.

To illustrate the set’s versatility, I created a gift tag with the kaleidoscope heart for a Valentine’s Day treat.

For the candy wrapper, I glimmer-foiled Scattered Hearts in Gold on Whip Cream cardstock. I scored the rectangular strip to cover the chocolate.
I cut the kaleidoscope heart layers from Whip Cream and Brush Gold cardstock.

I used the Large Die of the Month to cut the tag from Brush Gold cardstock. The left-hand side is not cut through completely, which creates a hinge.
I stamped the Sending My Love sentiment in gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with the solid heart die, adhering it to the inside of the tag.

Alexandra Renke Penguins

Hello! Today I’m sharing a die-cut, winter-themed card featuring the Alexandra Renke Penguins die set.

The Penguins die set does not include dies for the bellies, feet, or beaks of the penguins. I cut the penguins from white and orange cardstock (as well as black), fussy-cutting to create those elements. I cut the eyes from gray cardstock.
The die set is intended for the Christmas holiday. Still, I wanted to use the sled, so I cut snowballs with a life preserver die in the Marianne Design Beach Houses set. (I don’t own a circle die that small.)
I used the Speech Bubbles die set to create a simple “I Love You” sentiment.

Supply List: Alexandra Renke Penguins, Marianne Design Beach Houses (snowball), Lawn Fawn Speech Bubbles, MFT A2 Rectangle Frames, Carta Bella Winter Market patterned paper

Elizabeth Craft Designs Snowman

Hello! I’m continuing with my winter-themed cards and sharing another one featuring an Elizabeth Craft Designs snowman.

To create the snowman, I cut and glued the Elizabeth Craft Designs Jack Frost pieces, using a hat from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Winter Accessories set. (I die-cut the mouth with a Paper Smooches snowman die set piece.)
I cut the hat from ThemoWeb Flock in white and tan.
I cut the hill after stamping the Rubbernecker Snowmen with Presents sentiment.
I adhered the hill and snowman to the patterned paper background, adding snowflakes cut with a die in the Elizabeth Craft Designs Penguin set.

Supplies: Therm O Web Tuscan Gold and White Latte Flock Transfer sheets, Carta Bella Winter Market patterned paper
