Penny Black – Christmas Baubles

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with supplies from the just-released Penny Black collection – Season of Hope. The collection is jam-packed with stamps and dies for holiday crafting.

I cut the 51-659 Beautified Baubles from silver foil, gold foil, red foil, and red velvet (the tie).
I assembled the ornaments with glue.
I stamped the 30-731 Christmas Moments sentiment on to a card base on which I had applied Distress Ink.
I adhered the branches, cut with a die in the 51-659 Beautified Baubles set, to the card base and added the ornaments with foam adhesive.

I can almost smell the greenery!

Spellbinders Spooky Greetings

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Halloween card showcasing the Spellbinders Spooky Greetings Glimmer Hot Foil set.

I glimmer foiled the set’s sentiments on to colored cardstock and trimmed the foiled cardstock into 1/2″ strips.
I adhered the strips to a dry-embossed background, staggering the sentiments.
I added the bats, cut from glitter cardstock, with dimensional adhesive.

What I like about this card: the colors and its simplicity.

Thanks for visiting!

Elizabeth Craft Designs – Halloween Cat

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween card on which I combined several Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets.

- I cut the various pieces using the Pumpkin, Cat, and Halloween Accessories sets from Bristol board, to which I had applied Distress inks.
- I applied more ink as necessary for shading.
- I added the assembled pieces to a card panel on which I stamped the Reverse Confetti Spooktacular sentiment.

He (she?) is definitely too cute to spook! What I particularly like about this card: the colors and the ease with which I could combine the different die sets.

Spellbinders Card Kit – Christmas Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing five cards created with the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit from Spellbinders. The Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit, a holiday-themed cardmaking kit which was released in November 2019, contains ten cards and envelopes, nine pieces of cardstock, eight dies, a patterned paper pad, a stamp set, die-cut shapes, adhesive gemstones, chipboard elements, and adhesive. The kit is overflowing with product!

My first card combines patterned paper with die-cut shapes and adhesive glitter elements. This took just minutes to assemble.

My second card incorporates ornaments cut with dies in the kit from metallic gold cardstock which is also included. A chipboard element was used for the sentiment.

I used the kit’s poinsettia die on my third card with a heat-embossed sentiment from the included stamp set. Adhesive gemstones were added as embellishment.
