Spellbinders Haunted Manor

Hello! I am sharing a CAS, elegant, Halloween-themed card created with Spellbinders products. The card combines two of my favorite techniques: die-cutting and glimmer-foiling. I am also sharing info below about a sale on Spellbinders Past Club Kits.

I cut the Haunted Manor from black cardstock and backed it with metallic cardstock.
I cut the frame using a die in the Nested Clipped Squares set from a patterned paper rectangle and backed it with metallic cardstock for the card base. I cut a smaller clipped square from another piece of patterned paper and adhered it to the center of the opening.
I glimmer foiled the sentiment using the Spooking Greetings set in Gold. I cut the strip using a die in the Everyday Sentiments II set. I adhered the strip to the card base.
I added the assembled manor to the center of the opening with foam adhesive.
I cut the bats from black glitter paper with dies in the Witch on Broom set and added them to the scene with foam adhesive.

What I like about this card: I like the elegant take on Halloween and the pairing of the patterned papers with black and gold. I like this Stampin’ Up Halloween paper so much that I bought more!

Penny Black – Adorn

Hello! Today I am sharing another card created with die sets in the just-released Penny Black collection – Season of Hope. This CAS holiday card took only a few minutes to assemble.

The star of the card is the ornament created with the 51-666 Adorn set. I backed the ornament, cut from red foil, with white cardstock. I cut its topper from silver foil and added silver twine to the assembly.
I cut the 51-670 Bountiful Berries from white glitter paper. (I’m planning on using this die again to cut a branch from tan, green, or white cardstock and add Nuvo drops for the berries.
I cut the sentiment from silver foil using the 51-698 Frozen Vista Cut Out set. For additional depth, I backed the silver foil with the sentiment also cut from white cardstock.
I added the branch, sentiment, and ornament (popped up with foam adhesive) to a card base covered with patterned paper.
I embellished the scene with snowflakes cut from glitter cardstock using dies in the 51-268 A Blizzard and 51-080 Around Town sets.

I was originally planning to add light blue ink to a white cardstock panel for the background, as I did on this card; however, it felt too plain. I had the patterned paper out for a different project and liked how the red ornament popped against the blue snowflake pattern.

Penny Black – Christmas Baubles

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with supplies from the just-released Penny Black collection – Season of Hope. The collection is jam-packed with stamps and dies for holiday crafting.

I cut the 51-659 Beautified Baubles from silver foil, gold foil, red foil, and red velvet (the tie).
I assembled the ornaments with glue.
I stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment on to a card base on which I had applied Distress Ink.
I adhered the branches, cut with a die in the 51-659 Beautified Baubles set, to the card base and added the ornaments with foam adhesive.

I can almost smell the greenery!
