Penny Black – Bring on the Snow

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with a new Penny Black sentiment set 30-852 Fresh Snow paired with additional die sets. I used the same design on a card here.

Heat-emboss the sentiment in silver 30-852 Fresh Snow on light blue cardstock and cut with the 51-053 A Pocket Full die. Use same die to cut vellum.

Add sentiment panel, vellum, penguins, snowbank, and snowflakes to card base.

Spellbinders – Festive Christmas Cars

Today, I am sharing a slimline Christmas card featuring products from Spellbinders. If it looks familiar, it is because I designed a similar one a couple of months ago, which you can see here.

Create a slimline card background by dry-embossing Onyx cardstock with the Striped Slimline folder.
Die-cut snowy hills from white velvet cardstock (Stampin’ Up) with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set.
Die-cut the vehicles with the Special Delivery die set; they were assembled with the inlay technique.
Add trees to the top of two of the vehicles created with the Bottle Brush Trees set and packages to the center car using the Shopping Spree set.
Stamp the sentiment using the All-Occasion Sentiments set on to a tag cut with a die in the Party Cupcake Pocket set. Add tag to the middle vehicle with the packages.
To embellish, add snowflakes cut with dies in the Holiday Decorations set.

For the background, stamp 40-706 Snowflake Pattern in white ink on Taylored Expressions Red Pepper cardstock.
Stamp 30-849 Hearts Come Home in black ink on white cardstock and cut with the 51-053 A Pocket Full die. Use same die to cut vellum.
From Noble Fir cardstock, cut boughs with 51-659 Beautiful Baubles die (four times). Adhere boughs.

Spellbinders – Christmas Night Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday card created with the recently-released Spellbinders Holiday Medley Collection showcasing the Silent Night Make a Scene and All is Calm Word Frame die sets.

While the Silent Night Make a Scene set is designed to work with the Make a Scene set (see my cards using that set here) to create a kinetic card, I created a static scene card.

I created a base and frame for the scene with the Scallop Façade Frame set. I die-cut snow banks with the Color Block Scenic Scape set, (this die set has been my go-to for holiday cards this year), from glitter cardstock.

I die-cut the elements from the Silent Night Make a Scene set and All is Calm Word Frame from white, colored, and silver foil cardstock. The houses were backed with silver foil cardstock.

I assembled the scene and added Silver Mix Gems to the snowflake centers and the lead reindeer’s nose.

Spellbinders is offering up to 40% off on Select Stamps through Sunday, August 29th, 2021.
