Elizabeth Craft Holiday Birdhouse

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card (that was relatively quick to assemble) created with the Elizabeth Craft Holiday Birdhouse die set and Lawn Fawn letters.

I die-cut the birdhouse pieces from colored cardstock, white cardstock, velvet cardstock, and glitter cardstock.
Before gluing together, I dry-embossed the main part of the birdhouse with the Taylored Expressions Weathered folder.
I assembled the birdhouse and added it to a patterned paper base adding the bird with foam adhesive.
I cut the sentiment from red velvet cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Cole’s ABCs.

Penny Black Baking Season

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card featuring Penny Black supplies. Gingerbread cookies have always been one of my favorites at Christmas!

With the 51-669 Baking Season die set, I cut the gingerbread cookies and the baking/serving tray from tan, white, and red foil cardstock.
I assembled the gingerbread cookies, using the inlaid technique for the faces and windows.
I stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment in white pigment ink on green cardstock.
I cut the panel and added it to a white, textured card base.
I added the baking/serving tray and cookies, popping up one of the gingerbread men with foam adhesive.

Reverse Confetti Stock Your Stash Challenge – Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a masculine Thank You card created with Reverse Confetti products for this month’s Stock Your Stash Challenge with the theme of Thank You.

I stamped and colored the plant image from the Botanical set and cut it with its coordinating die. (I’ve used this stamp set on cards in this post and this one.)
I cut the Plaid Lines Small and Plaid Lines Big from white cardstock and added them to a brown card base (Lawn Fawn Paper Bag cardstock).
I stamped the Best Sentiments sentiment on to an Avocado cardstock rectangle.
I sponged Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Ink on white cardstock and added the panel to the back of a frame cut with the Stitched Notes & Frames set.
I added the sentiment and plant with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken

Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with Glimmer Foil Plates from the recently-released Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken: the Sweet Blooms Border and the Heart Melt Sentiments.

On the first card, I used the Sweet Blooms Border in its entirety on the left-hand side of the card balanced with the sentiment on an oval.

I glimmer foiled the Sweet Blooms Border on an A2 navy cardstock panel in Gold.
I glimmer foiled the sentiment from the Heart Melt Sentiments set in Gold on Whip Cream cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with an oval dieand matted it with a Brush Gold oval (cut with a die in the Classic Ovals set).
I added Prima flowers, from the Capri collection, as embellishment )Paraiso Shore and Isola Bella).

On the second card, I used portions of the Sweet Blooms Border on a color-block card.

I glimmer foiled the sentiment from the Heart Melt Sentiments set in Gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with its coordinating die.
I glimmer foiled the Sweet Blooms Border in Gold on four different colored cardstock pieces.
I cut the foiled pieces with the 2 ” square die.
I taped the squares together on the back and added the assembly to a textured cardstock 4 1/4″ square.
I added that assembly to a 4 1/2″ Brush Gold card base.
I added the sentiment in the center with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders December Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders December 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Snyder. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two CAS holiday cards using this month’s Small Die of the Month kit (“Daydreaming”) and Large Die of the Month kit (“Look Behind the Curtain”).

I previously shared projects using these dies here and here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, December 13th, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in this blog hop post the following Tuesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. 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.

I used the same approach on both cards: patterned paper as the scene through the window, the Small Die of the Month window oriented horizontally on a card base glimmer foiled with a Holiday Series 2 sentiment, and a curtain created with the Large Die of the Month curtain panel (cut in two) .

The Large Die of the Month set includes dies to create a moving curtain panel. Figuring that a lot of people might be short on time during the holidays, I wanted to show how to create cards without an operable curtain. With the Large Die of the Month set, I cut one curtain panel and cut it into two pieces. I framed the window scene with the panels and the curtain valance. Quick and simple!

On the second scene, I added a cat cut with a die in the Small Die of the Month set along with packages cut with dies in the Home for the Holidays set.
