Hello and happy October! Today, I am sharing two projects created with the October Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Home for the Holidays.” I had a lot of fun dressing my hostess for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!
Let’s start with the Thanksgiving card. I cut the hostess from a variety of solid and patterned papers. It was fun choosing her dress pattern.
I quieted the floral background patterned paper by adhering velum to it. I heat-embossed a My Favorite Things sentiment on pumpkin-colored cardstock to coordinate with the pie.
For the Christmas version, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Merry Everything set on to a white cardstock circle that I placed behind the hostess to help her stand out on the background paper.
The hostess is holding a small Christmas tree. I added wrapped plaid packages, cut with dies in the set, around her feet as embellishment.
Supplies:
These are darling!! I love the fun print dresses you created with the patterned paper. Fantastic design!
Oh so cute!
This is a cute die set. I love the patterned paper on the Thanksgiving dress. That looks like a great pie!
Love this die. I just received it in the mail and love your ideas here. Will give it a try.
