Spellbinders Season’s Greetings, Deer

Hello! Today I am sharing three CAS Christmas cards created with the Season’s Greetings, Deer die set from Spellbinders. Before we look at the cards, I want to let you know about a sale at Spellbinders which is now live and will be available until Sunday 10/11/2020.

Back to the Christmas cards.

The die set is back by popular demand; it was included in the November 2018 Card kit of the month club kit.

I took the same design approach on all three cards – varying the background paper and the materials from which I cut the hat, bow tie, poinsettia blooms and leaves, nose, and the sentiment.

I used the same colors for the antlers, head, and nose.

Because of the dark patterned papers, I glued the face pieces to vellum cut with a circle die.

I used red foil paper, a velvet-textured paper, and cardstock for the red decorative elements. I used both white glitter cardstock and white cardstock for the hat band, hat pom pom, sentiments, and leaves.

The die set includes three different shapes for the eyes. It’s easy to make the deer more feminine or masculine with the eye shapes.

On all three cards I cut the sentiment twice for depth.

Reverse Confetti Spooktacular

Hello! Today I am sharing a slimline Halloween-themed card featuring the Reverse Confetti Spooktacular stamp set with coordinating die set.

I stamped and Copic-colored the Spooktacular images and cut them out with their coordinating dies.
I heat-embossed the sentiment (in the same set) on a black cardstock strip.
I cut the stars using dies in the coordinating die set (the dies coordinate with stamped images).
I cut circles from cardstock that was cut first with the Reverse Confetti Pointed Cover Plate.

I added the circles and sentiment to a 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ white cardstock panel, which I matted with a 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ patterned paper base.
I added the colored images to the circles with foam adhesive and the stars with glue.

Hello! I was recently a guest on the Spellbinders blog where I shared three CAS holiday cards featuring the recently-released Picot Petite Collection by Becca Feeken. While I created cards for Christmas, the collection is suitable for a variety of occasions including engagement, wedding, and anniversary. All three cards combine glimmer-foiled sentiments and metallic cardstock die-cuts.

Spellbinders October 2020 Small Die of the Month

Hello! Today, I am sharing two fall-themed cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit at Spellbinders – “Fall Leaves Card Creator.”

On the first card, (A2-size, off-white, linen-textured base), I used the Small Die of the Month set to create a rectangular frame of Brush Gold. The set contains a corner piece and a joiner piece, which can be added to form either a rectangle (as shown) or 5 1/2″ square (if the joiner piece is used on all sides).

I cut foliage from Bristol board, to which I had applied fall colors, and glued the pieces to the frame.
I cut the sentiment from Brush Gold and placed it in the center of the frame.

My second card, a 4 1/4″ square, uses the set’s corner pieces.

I cut the Small Die of the Month corner pieces from Bristol board and applied ink to the pieces starting in the corner with the darkest ink.
I added the assembled frame to a 4″ square on which I had glimmer foiled a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments II set in Gold.
The card base was created with wood-textured card stock.

Spellbinders Happy Fall

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, square, fall-themed, friendship card featuring Spellbinders supplies.

I cut the basket and apples with the Happy Fall die set. The apples were cut from white cardstock, which I colored with Distress Inks. The basket was cut from tan-colored cardstock to which I added Distress Ink.
I glimmer foiled the Everyday Sentiments II sentiment on light blue cardstock in Gold.
I cut the foiled panel with the die in the Essential Squares set.
I assembled the basket and apples, adding the assembly to the sentiment square.
I added a leaf cut with the Fall Leaves set, to which I added Distress Ink, and additional apples to the sides of the basket.
The 4 1/4″ square card base is covered with linen-textured cardstock and patterned paper.
