Spellbinders November Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders November 2020 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Virginia Lu. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a gift card holder showcasing the November Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Frankie Goes to the North Pole.” (I previously shared cards created with the November Small Die of the Month set in this post. I shared gift card projects using the the Festive Wreaths Slider Card die set here.)

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to five lucky blog readers, selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, November 15, 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. 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.

To begin I die-cut and assembled Frankie. I set him aside.
I glimmer foiled the Glimmer Gift Border in Gold on Candy Apple cardstock. I foiled the entire plate on the left-hand side of the cardstock. I then moved the plate down to foil the bottom-right side and finally moved the plate up to foil the upper-right side. In doing so I created more of a random background than had I simply glimmer foiled the full image on the right-hand side.
I cut the top of the Festive Wreaths Slider Card using the foiled cardstock. (By the way, the Festive Wreaths Slider Card die set is one of the products in the Spellbinders BOGO sale!)
I created the insert with patterned paper from a past Spellbinders kit. I backed the assembly with Candy Apple cardstock.
To showcase the snowman, I cut a circle from Brush Gold cardstock and dry-embossed it with the Falala folder.
I added Frankie, along with snowflakes cut with the Festive Wreaths Slider Card, to the dry-embossed circle and added the circle to the gift card assembly.
Frankie is ready to be posted!

Penny Black CAS Christmas

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with stamp sets in the “Season of Hope” release from Penny Black.

I stamped the ornament images with stamps in the Penny Black 30-747 Ornamented set. I have a number of small ink pads, dye and pigments inks, with which I played. The pink is a Memento dye ink and the teal and red are pigment inks.
I stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment in black.
I trimmed the panel and matted it with brushed silver cardstock.
I added the assembly to a dry-embossed background.
I glued silver twine bows to the tops of the ornaments.

The 30-747 Ornamented has a Scandinavian folk art vibe; I’m looking forward to playing more with the set.

Reverse Confetti – November Creative Hop

Today is the day! It’s the 2020 Reverse Confetti November Release Day! We’re celebrating with a hop! You should have arrived here from the blog of Jeanne Jachna. If not, you’ll want to start at the beginning which is the Release Confetti blog.

I am sharing two projects today: one holiday-themed and the other friendship-themed. On the first card, I’m showcasing the Deerly stamp set with coordinating dies.

I cut the background from Navy cardstock with the Center Frame Cover Panel.
I heat-embossed the Seasonal Say It All sentiment in white.
I added the Navy panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Sweet Stripes 6×6 Paper Pad.
I stamped, Copic-colored, and cut the deer, tree, and star garland images.
I added the images to the scene, popping the deer up with foam adhesive.

My friendship card features a Mixed Messages sentiment along with foliage from the Botanical stamp set with coordinating dies.

I created the background with the Cross Tiles Cover Panel die cut from yellow cardstock.
I stamped, colored, and cut the Botanical images.
I heat-embossed the Mixed Messages sentiment on purple cardstock.
I cut a Polar White cardstock circle and added it to the center of the background, added the sentiment strip with foam adhesive, and tucked the Botanical images under the strip.
