Hello crafty friends! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders Holiday 2019 Release! You should have reached me from the blog of Wanda Guess. I’ve included a full list of participants at the end of my post.
To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one lucky blog reader – selected from the comments across all of the blogs in the hop. Giveaway closes on Sunday, August 25th 11:59 pm EDT. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Monday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties, and taxes.
I’m sharing projects created with three die sets in the new collection. Let’s take a look.
My first project showcases the Christmas Bandit die set. I’ve set the bandit into a snow-covered scene.
- I used the Winter Hills die set to create a snowy backdrop. (I trimmed off the edges of the panels; the die set was designed to create a layered tri-fold card.)
- For the background, I dry-embossed the background with the FaLaLa folder.
- I cut and assembled the bandit and added him to the scene with foam adhesive. The heat-embossed sentiment reinforces the theme and adds additional color.
One of the great things about this collection is there’s something for everyone. Case in point, the Laurel & Bows Cut and Emboss folder.
- I cut and embossed Brush Gold cardstock with the Laurel & Bows Cut and Emboss folder.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment with gold embossing powder on Cranberry Bliss cardstock. I attached the panel to the back of the dry-embossed panel with foam adhesive.
- I adhered the assembly to a card base. The card measures 5″ x 7″.
Quick, easy, and elegant – perfect for mass production!
My final projects use the Shapeabilities Joy die set. There are so many options available with this set! And again, the set is completely adaptable to one’s own style. My projects reflect my CAS style.
I created card backgrounds from teal solid cardstock, patterned red paper, and green solid cardstock. For all three cards, I cut the poinsettia blooms with the included die and added them to the JOY back panel with foam adhesive. The back panel for the letters does not cut the center of the “O” but the die set includes a die with which to do so.
For the holidays, I like to add metallic accents. For the teal and red background cards, I cut the letters from Brush Gold cardstock. I cut the flower centers on all of the cards from the gold cardstock.
There really is no limit to the possibilities with this set! I could have cut the greenery pieces, dry-embossed the card base, used glitter or shiny cardstock for the letters, …. You get the idea!
Now it’s time to head to the blog of Keeway Tsao. The entire blog hop list is included at the end of the post. Thanks for stopping by!
