Slimline - Right as Rain

Spellbinders January 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a CAS slimline card created with the Spellbinders January 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Spreading Love.” This is a brand-new Spellbinders kit club for 2022. The folder size will generally be 5.5 x 8.5 inches and can be used to make cards in a variety of sizes including slimline, 5 x 7, and A2.

Die-cut nine 1-inch strips, greater in length than 3 1/2 inches, from colored cardstock. I was inspired by the colors of the iconic conversation heart candies.
Tape together on the back and trim to slimline size.
Dry-emboss with the “Spreading Love” Embossing Folder.
Glimmer-foil the sentiments in Matte Silver on Snowdrift cardstock with plates in the Everyday Sentiments II set. Cut with outline heart die in the Large Die of the Month set.
Add sentiment hearts to dry-embossed panel.
Embellish with hearts cut using dies in the Heart to Heart Tag set.

Penny Black Hello Winter

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with Penny Black supplies. Now is when I shift from making Christmas cards to winter-themed cards for the time of year between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. (I have noticed that every year this is a struggle; I enjoy making Christmas cards as I easily connect to the colors and themes.)

I die-cut the card frame with the 51-718 Slimline Medley die from light-gray cardstock.
I die-cut the snow strip from white cardstock with a die in the 51-717 Border Collection set.
I heat-embossed the 30-881 When Snow Falls sentiment on purple cardstock.
I die-cut the polar bears (from Stampin’ Up flock) and penguins with the 51-668 Festive Family die set.
I die-cut the snowflakes with the 51-708 Dancing Snowflakes, 51-268 A Blizzard, and 51-080 Around Town sets from Sugar Coated cardstock.

Spellbinders Sending Warm Holiday Wishes

Hello and Happy Wednesday! (To those who celebrate Thanksgiving – I hope you have a wonderful holiday!) I am sharing a mini-slimline, winter-themed card created with Spellbinders dies, embossing folder, and stamp set.

I created the card base with the Striped Slimline Embossing Folder.
I die-cut the snow with the Color Block Scenic Scape die set from Sugar Coated cardstock.
I cut the polar bear from Snowdrift and other cardstock colors using the Chill Bear set.
I used Sending You to create the sentiment (this set was the October 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month).
I embellished with trees and snowflakes (cut from the Sugar Coated cardstock).

There is still time to shop the Pre-Black Friday sale.

Spellbinders November 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing CAS slimline holiday cards created with the Spellbinders November 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kathy Clement. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created quick-to-make cards with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Christmas Foliage Strip & Borders.” I previously shared a card created with the same set here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, November 21st, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. 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.

For the first card, I die-cut the floral portion of the Large Die of the Month set three times and adhered the borders to a slimline card base from the same cardstock. I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas Sentiments sentiment in gold on a darker red cardstock. I die-cut the sentiment with a circle die and added an ornament holder (cut with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope set).

On the second card, I combined dies in the Large Die of the Month set to cut Snowdrift cardstock. I die-cut a piece of Brushed Gold to back the detailed open area. I die-cut navy cardstock with another die in the set and added that piece to the top. I added the assembly to a Brushed Silver card base. I decorated the card with Santa and reindeer and a sentiment, cut with dies in the Silent Night set, adding a small Gold Gem to the nose of the lead reindeer.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Marie Heiderscheit. Scroll for full blog hop list.
