Hello and happy November! Today, I am sharing holiday-themed cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit at Spellbinders – “Frankie Goes to the North Pole.”
I’ve used two of my favorite techniques: diecutting and glimmer foiling .
On my first card, I placed Frankie into a ski scene.
- I created the background with patterned paper and a ski slope cut from glittered cardstock. I created the slope by cutting an oval and trimming it on its sides and bottom.
- I cut the snowman from Whip Cream cardstock and cut the scarf, mittens, hat, skis, and poles from specialty cardstock (red velvet, black glitter, silver foil) to add textural interest.
- I cut and assembled the tree, branches, and trunk; the additional branches add volume to the tree. I added the star and the ornaments. The set contains dies to create the tree and dies to create a North Pole sign.
- I heat-foiled the Holiday Sentiments Series 2 sentiment on red velvet.
- I added the sentiment, snowman, and tree to the scene. I also cut snowflakes using the Festive Wreaths Slider Card die and added those for additional interest.
I used the other snowman face option on a CAS card. Frankie is having a great time on his skis!
- I cut and assembled the snowman.
- I glimmer foiled the sentiment with the Christmas Essentials Glimmer Ovals plate in Silver Matte on teal cardstock and cut it with the oval die.
- I dry-embossed the Candy Apple background, added the foiled oval to the base, and added the assembled snowman with foam adhesive.
