Spellbinders | December 2022 Large Die + Embossing Folder – Another Take

Hello! Today, I am sharing another Valentine’s Day/love-themed card created with the Spellbinders December 2022 Large Die “Blooming Heart” and Embossing Folder “Heart Blooms.” I previously shared a card here created with these two items. This design was inspired by the “I Love Lucy” heart, even though it does not look like it!

I created a 5 1/4 inch square card base from Brushed Gold cardstock. I dry-embossed a pearl finish white cardstock with the Embossing Folder, trimmed it, and added it to the base.
I cut the Large Die heart from dark red cardstock and the left floral element from gold glitter foam and Brushed Gold cardstock. The Brushed Gold cardstock nicely shows the die detail. I adhered the Brushed Gold element to the glitter foam piece for depth.
I cut the sentiment from the pearl finish white cardstock.
I added the floral piece and sentiment to the heart, added the heart to the background, and embellished with Gold Mix Gems.

Spellbinders | All Hearts Come Home Take Two

Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card created with the All Hearts Come Home die set from the Spellbinders Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. Everything you need to make a holiday greeting is included in the All Hearts Come Home die set – frame, focal image, and sentiment (which I did not use on this card). I shared another card with this die set here.

And Spellbinders has just announced a huge Pre-Holiday Clearance Sale of stamps, dies, glimmer foil plates, …

I dry-embossed a Teal Topaz cardstock panel with the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D embossing folder. I added the dry embossed panel to a card base and notched the bottom corners.
I cut the All Hearts Come Home die set frame from Snowdrift cardstock. I inlaid the tree and packages with Snowdrift, glitter, Mirror Silver, Lilac Blossom, and Lagoon cardstock.
I cut the house from Royal Amethyst cardstock and backed it with Snowdrift cardstock.
I cut a snowbank with a die in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and taped it to the back of the frame section. I added the assembly to the card background and added the house with foam adhesive. For this card, I left off the sentiment.
