Spellbinders Halloween Plaid

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, Halloween card featuring Spellbinders die sets.

I created the card background with the Kaleidoscope Plaid die set from silver, black, and orange cardstock.
After assembling the plaid pattern, I back the panel with white cardstock. I repeated the process to create four panels.
The panels were added to a black card base.
The sentiment was cut with a die in the Spooky Boo set and the bats with dies in the Witch on Broom set, both from black glitter cardstock.
I added the sentiment and bats to an orange square, set at an angle, which I matted with a black square.

Supplies:

Penny Black Halloween Gate

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween card created with Penny Black die sets, including several from the new Autumn Extraordinaire release.

I die-cut the 51-656 Halloween Gate from black cardstock (it’s a coated cardstock I got from Stampin’ Up several years ago).
I die-cut the 51-463 Winter Trees tree from black cardstock. I die-cut the bird (in the same set) from orange cardstock.
I die-cut the 51-654 Carved Cuties from orange and black cardstock (stems) and backed the openings with black cardstock.
I die-cut the smaller pumpkins with the 51-360 Pumpkins & Leaves set.
I die-cut the yellow moon with a circle die.
I created the card background with patterned paper and adhered the die-cut elements.

Spellbinders Sparkling Christmas

I recently wrote a guest post for the Spellbinders blog in which I shared holiday cards that combine two of my favorite techniques–die-cutting and foiling–using products in the Sparkling Christmas Collection. For all three cards, I used a color scheme of red, green, and gold. With this collection, you’ll create elegant and distinctive holiday cards.
