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!

Reverse Confetti – November Countdown to Confetti Day Three

Hello! The wait is almost over – it’s Day Three of the November Reverse Confetti Countdown to Confetti! This release is packed with stamps and dies with which to create for a number of occasions including the holidays. I am sharing two holiday cards featuring cute critters.

My first card showcases the Deerly stamp set (with coordinating die set).

I stamped and Copic colored the deer and trees.
I cut the images with the coordinating die set.
I added snow with embossing powder to the two trees.
I created the card base with the Plaid Lines – Small (cut from Polar cardstock) and Plaid Lines – Big (cut from Avocado cardstock) added to a Salsa card base.
I framed the scene for the deer with a Stitched Notes & Frames frame over blue cardstock on which I heat-embossed snowflakes.
I added the sentiment heat-embossed in white on Salsa cardstock.

My second card showcases an image from the Yuletide Mice stamp set (with coordinating dies).

I stamped and colored the Yuletide Mice image. I stamped the star banner with a stamp in the Deerly set. I stamped the Yuletide Mice stars in yellow ink.
I cut the images with their coordinating dies.
I created the card base with the Plaid Lines – Small cut from Polar cardstock added to patterned paper from the Winter Solstice pad.
I framed an ink-blended panel using the Stitched Notes & Frames set.
I added the sentiment heat-embossed in white on Salsa cardstock.
