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 | November 2022 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy November! Today, I am sharing a slimline holiday card created with the Spellbinders November 2022 Large Die of the Month “Stylized Floral Kaleidoscope Slimline.” I used the kaleidoscope flowers for a winter-themed card.

The Large Die of the Month set also includes a birthday sentiment and leaf dies.

With the Large Die of the Month, I cut the card elements from Brushed Silver, Snowdrift, and several shades of blue. I used a die to cut a circle from navy cardstock which I placed behind the floral kaleidoscope pieces.
I added the assembly to a white-textured, slimline card base.
I foiled a sentiment in Silver on Snowdrift with the Glitter Wishes set and cut it with the coordinating die.
I embellished with snowflakes cut from white glitter foam with the Chill Bear, Holiday Decorations, and Let it Snowman sets.
