Mother’s Day Card with Everyday Foliage

Hello! I’m excited to showcase a CAS, Mother’s Day card that captures the essence of elegance and simplicity, perfect for celebrating the incredible women in our lives. With the Spellbinders die set Everyday Foliage, designed by Simon Hurley for the Tulip Garden Collection, I crafted a card that harmonizes the delicate silhouettes of plants with the lustrous charm of gold cardstock.

Impression Obsession | Frosty Fun

Hello! Experience the magic of winter beyond the holidays! As I mentioned HERE, I am looking to extend the use of my winter-themed supplies beyond the holidays. Today, I am sharing a CAS, winter-themed card perfect for a birthday, a thank you, or to brighten someone’s day. The card features a die cut of a boy sledding in the mountains, set against a stenciled sky that can transport anyone into a winter wonderland of joy and exhilaration.

  • Apply white embossing paste through the Lawn Fawn Snow Flurries Stencil on to an A2-sized panel of Taylored Expressions Blue Corn cardstock. Sprinkle on Spellbinders Sparkle Dust Glitter and set aside to dry. Once dry, add to card base.
  • Cut trees from Spellbinders Snowdrift cardstock with one of the dies in the Impressions Obsession Tree Line set. The die cuts along the top but not at the bottom. Trim as necessary and add to card base.
  • Stamp and heat-emboss in silver a sentiment from the Rubbernecker Snowmen with Presents set. Cut a snowbank on the heat-embossed panel with a curved die (now-retired MFT Stamps Snow Drifts set). Trim at the bottom and add to card base.
  • Cut the Impression Obsession Sled from Spellbinders Brushed Silver cardstock several times and adhere together for extra depth. I used a Sizzix Release Sheet to help with the cut as the end of the sled was not easily releasing. Attach sled to card front.
  • Cut a frame with the largest die in the MFT Stamps A2 Rectangle Frames set from Spellbinders Snowdrift cardstock and add to the card.

Spellbinders | Festive Christmas Ornaments

Hello! Today, I am delighted to share a Christmas card featuring the Festive Ornaments die set from the Merry Mugs & Circle Delights Collection at Spellbinders by Nichol Spohr. The ornaments take center stage against a backdrop of patterned paper. Previously, I shared a slimline card featuring this same die set HERE. Note: Now through November 30, save on many Spellbinders products with the Black Friday Sale!

With the Festive Ornaments set, cut ornament bases from red foil and green foil cardstock. With the same set, cut ornament holders from Brushed Gold and Brushed Silver. Cut the decorative elements from red glitter, green glitter, and Brushed Gold cardstock. Assemble.

After creating the ornaments, I went on the hunt for patterned paper on which to stamp a sentiment from the collection’s coordinating Santa’s Sippin’ Sayings stamp set. I stamped, as well as heat-embossed, one of the sentiments on several patterned papers and was not happy with the results; the sentiment simply did not show up enough. Going back to the drawing board, I found this patterned paper – Wonder of the Season – that was sold by Stampin’ Up! in 2020. I chose the paper because it had whimsical text on it, enabling me to forgo the sentiment. To embellish, I added snowflakes cut from Gold Glitter Foam with a die in the Holiday Decorations set.

Hello! Today, I am delighted to share a handmade card with a hot beverage theme featuring products from Elizabeth Craft Designs. Nestled on a snowflake-patterned paper, this card captures the essence of winter coziness. I recently posted about the hot beverage theme in cardmaking HERE.

    • Create an A2-size card base and adhere patterned paper (I used the A2-size die in the Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangles set to cut the paper). Patterned paper offers a quick and convenient way to create card backgrounds, which I discussed in this post.
    • Using the Warm Winter Mug die set, cut mug, gingerbread person, and candy cane from Snowdrift, Pomegranate, Paper Bag, and Fern cardstock. Assemble.
    • Stamp Holiday Treats sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock with Icing on the Cake ink. I masked the sentiment in order to stack it. Cut sentiment with a banner die. Add grommet (I used a die in the Lawn Fawn Tag, You’re It set), and punch a hole. Add twine (Lawn Fawn Peppermint Cord).
    • Add assembled mug and sentiment banner to card base.
