Spellbinders October Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders October 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Marie Heiderscheit. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created CAS, fall-themed, friendship cards showcasing the October Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Fall Leaves Card Creator.” (I shared two other cards created with the October Small Die of the Month set in this post.)

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers, selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Hop along for additional chances to win. The giveaway closes Sunday, October 18, 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties, and taxes. Additionally, I will draw a winner to receive a $25 gift certificate from commenters on my blog. The deadline to comment is Saturday, October 17, 11:00 pm EDT. 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.

On the first card, I used the Small Die of the Month set to create a rectangular frame of ivory cardstock.

I applied VersaMark ink to parts of inside of the corner pieces and both of the joiner pieces and heat-embossed them with gold powder.
I added the assembled frame to a base, on which I arranged 1/2″ strips of colored cardstock. On the center strip, I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the More Sentiments set in Matte Gold.

I also created a card using only the corner die to create a square frame. I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments II set in Matte Gold.

Thank you for stopping by today! Next on the list is the blog of Laurie Willison. Scroll down for the entire list of participants.

Spellbinders Fun Stampers Journey Buzzworthy Collection

Hello! Today I am sharing three cards showcasing products in the FSJ Buzzworthy Collection at Spellbinders. The products in the collection work for any number of occasions.

My first card (a XL slimline measuring 9″ wide by 4″ tall!) features all three images in the Block Prints set.

I stamped the images on colored cardstock and cut them out. I used a square die on the square, a circle die on the circle, and cut the hexagon with a paper trimmer.
I stamped the sentiment on to the card base.
I added embossing paste with the Honeycomb stencil.
Once dry, I added the stamped images with dimensional foam.

To illustrate how the images can be used separately on cards, I created a 4 1/4″ square card in a similar fashion to the larger card (using a different sentiment in the set). I added the 4″ Oatmeal Cookie cardstock, on which I had applied embossing paste as before, to a white cardstock base.

My third card showcases the Trip Around the Sun stamp set.

I stamped one of the sun images included in the set repeatedly, using three ink colors, on a Whip Cream card base.
I added the sun faces with black ink.
I heat-embossed the bold sentiment.

Penny Black Autumn Decor

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS fall-themed card featuring Penny Black supplies! We’ve had a decidedly fall-ish weekend here in the Pacific Northwest with wind and rain.

I colored Bristol board with Distress Inks.
I cut the shelf, flower, wheat springs, vases, and letters with dies in the 51-653 Autumn Decor set.
I cut the garden tools with dies in the 51-510 A Garden set.
I cut the pumpkins with the 51-360 Pumpkins & Leaves.
I glued the pieces to a 4 1/2″ square background on which I had applied Distress Ink.

Spellbinders Season’s Greetings, Deer

Hello! Today I am sharing three CAS Christmas cards created with the Season’s Greetings, Deer die set from Spellbinders. Before we look at the cards, I want to let you know about a sale at Spellbinders which is now live and will be available until Sunday 10/11/2020.

Back to the Christmas cards.

The die set is back by popular demand; it was included in the November 2018 Card kit of the month club kit.

I took the same design approach on all three cards – varying the background paper and the materials from which I cut the hat, bow tie, poinsettia blooms and leaves, nose, and the sentiment.

I used the same colors for the antlers, head, and nose.

Because of the dark patterned papers, I glued the face pieces to vellum cut with a circle die.

I used red foil paper, a velvet-textured paper, and cardstock for the red decorative elements. I used both white glitter cardstock and white cardstock for the hat band, hat pom pom, sentiments, and leaves.

The die set includes three different shapes for the eyes. It’s easy to make the deer more feminine or masculine with the eye shapes.

On all three cards I cut the sentiment twice for depth.

Supplies:

Penny Black Halloween Forest

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween card featuring Penny Black supplies for which I envisioned a witch in a spooky forest!

I stamped and Copic-colored the witch hedgehog from the 30-592 Critter Costumes set and fussy cut her.
I cut the trees with the recently-released 51-675 Windy die set, which features two trunks and a variety of leaves.
I cut the sentiment using the 51-077 Eeek! set.
I cut the pumpkins with the 51-360 Pumpkins & Leaves set.
I assembled the scene on a background on which I had blended Distress inks.
