Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis
Hello! Today, I am sharing more holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit. I shared a card created with the kit’s 13-piece die set here and holiday cards created with the kit’s contents here.
Similar to the cards from yesterday, these cards were made using the kit’s patterned paper, card bases, gemstones, die-cut shapes (the deer on the left), and gift tags (shown below).
Hello! Today, I am sharing two holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit. I shared a card created with the kit’s 13-piece die set here.
These cards were made using the kit’s patterned paper, card bases, floral die-cuts, gold glitter paper, gemstones, and additional die cut shapes (sentiments). They were quick to put together!
Hello! Over the next several days, I will be sharing holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit that contains over 580 pieces with which you can create 25+ cards, 24+ tags, and much more. Today, I am showcasing the kit’s 13-piece die set, which includes dies to create a train, train cars, and goodies to fill the train cars.
To create the train, the background, the sentiment, and the embellishments, I used the kit’s solid cardstock, patterned paper, gold foil cardstock, sequins, and die-cut shapes.
The card measures 6 inches wide by 3 inches tall.
Other ideas for this die-set:
My second post with the kit is here.
Hello! Today I am sharing two cards created with the just-released Halloween Collection at Spellbinders. Spellbinders has added Halloween-themed die sets to the previously-released Open House Collection – Open House Halloween and Open House Boo!. I shared Christmas cards created with the Open House Collection here and here. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and I am delighted with these additions!
The first card measures 6 inches tall by 6 1/4 inches wide when fully opened. When closed, the card is 3 1/8 inches wide. I used 12 inch x 12 inch double-sided patterned paper for the base. The paper was scored so that two panels open to reveal the Halloween door (including Side Panels) in the center, with pumpkins, ghosts, and a scary cat on the sides. I covered the front and back with coordinating patterned paper (the back side of the pattern used on the inside would not have worked for the front).
I cut the sentiment for the front (twice for depth) with the dies in the Open House Boo! set, which I added to a rectangle closure. I used the Open House Topiary set to cut the pots on the front of the card in which to place the ghosts.
I die-cut elements from both the Open House Halloween and Open House Boo! sets to decorate the door and the interior panels.
The second card combines Halloween elements with the Sweet Shoppe set. I previously used that die set here. I envisioned a store window decorated ghoulishly for the holidays.
I used patterned paper for my base and added a rectangle cut from coordinating paper to mat the store front window frame.
To decorate the shop, I die-cut elements from both the Open House Halloween and Open House Boo! sets. I die-cut the sentiment twice, offsetting the bottom layer (as a drop shadow).
Hello! I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog featuring three Christmas Slimline cards that use dry embossing, glimmer foiling, and diecutting. I would be most appreciative if you would head over to read about my cards and leave a comment!
