Spellbinders | October 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card featuring the Spellbinders October 2022 Embossing Folder “Scattered Christmas.” I previously shared a 3D Christmas project created with the embossing folder and the Large Die of the Month “Stitched Ornament & Display.”

Pacific Northwest Beach Scene

Today I’m sharing a CAS “just because” card inspired by the Pacific Northwest summer. There’s nothing like a sunny day on the Puget Sound!

The sentiment is from the Hero Arts Good Friends set (I’ve had this set for several years and really like the typeface of the sentiments). I first stamped it in black ink, but that seemed too harsh with the other colors, so I stamped it in white pigment ink. After I finished the card, I thought it needed a little something, so I added some May Arts twine to soften the bottom of the image.

The Liebster Award

I was incredibly touched to recently receive a Liebster Award from Chari Moss of Mossy Made. I’ve gotten to know Chari as part of the Neat & Tangled Design Team. I’m wowed by her talent with every card she makes!

ABOUT THE AWARD
Liebster is a German word meaning “Beloved,” “Favorite,” or “Dearest.” This award is a peer to peer award in which fellow bloggers present the award to their favorite bloggers with less than 200 followers. The origins of this award is unclear, but is believed to have originated by a German blogger. This award was designed to be a blog award in the pay it forward fashion to share your dearest and most beloved blogs that have less than 200 followers.

RULES FOR ACCEPTANCE
Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to their blog. Post the award onto your blog. Give the award to five bloggers who you appreciate that have less than 200 followers. Leave a comment on their blog letting them know that you have given them this awesome award!

AND THE AWARDS GO TO
I’ve been amazed at the warm and welcoming cardmaking community that I’ve discovered during the past year (plus) I’ve been making cards. I’m bestowing the award on cardmakers I only know via the online communities of which I’m a part, although I would hope that someday I could meet some of you in person!

I discovered Kimberly in the Paper Smooches flickr group and was immediately drawn towards her style. Through her blog I learned of cardmaking challenges, such as CAS-ual Fridays, of which I had previously known nothing about.

Tracey has been supportive with comments on my blog and flickr stream which have meant a lot to me. She’s a regular contributor to many of the same challenges I enter.

Jennie has also been supportive with her comments. It’s been great seeing her work as a guest at Paper Smooches this month.

 is an unbelievably talented cardmaker whose Lawn Fawn cards consistently inspire me.

Elena has left some sweet comments on my cards, and I also turn to her blog for Lawn Fawn inspiration.
