This amazing 21-piece set includes all of the pieces with which to construct the slider card, in addition to a number of smaller dies with which to customize the slider card for a variety of occasions and seasons. Given the time of year, I used the set’s snowflake dies on my projects.

My cards are similar, as both use Die D-Lite sets as the focal image and the same patterned paper. There are a couple of differences upon which I’ll elaborate.

My first card showcases the Die D-Lites Woliver set.

I die-cut and constructed the walrus from solid cardstock. I constructed the slider card from both patterned paper and solid cardstock. Snowflakes adorn the circle frame.

To make things easy for myself, I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out with a rectangle die. I then added the sentiment to the piece that is pulled to slide the easel up (alternately I could have stamped the sentiment on to the piece that is pulled). A sentiment can easily be included in the top portion (or in the bottom portion, in lieu of something else).

I dry-embossed the piece that is pulled up with the Falala Bold embossing folder from a soft-blue cardstock that coordinates with the patterned paper.

The area revealed easily fits a gift card (adhered with a temporary adhesive dot to the card back). I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!

My second card features the Die D-Lites Snowman.

I die-cut and constructed the snowman. I constructed the slider card from both patterned paper and solid cardstock. The snowflakes adorn the circle frame and the snowman’s hat. Just as before, to make things easy for myself, I heat-embossed the sentiment and cut it out with a rectangle die. I then added the sentiment to the piece that is pulled to slide up the card.

Tangle-Free Holiday – Spellbinders Die-cut Card

Hello! Today I have a whimsical holiday card on which I’ve combined several Spellbinders Die D-Lites sets – Holiday Twinkle Lights and Christmas Bandit.

I die-cut the Christmas Bandit and the Holiday Twinkle Lights (cut twice) and assembled the pieces.
I cut a rectangle from patterned paper. I cut a circle and then trimmed it on the side and bottom to fit the design. Without the circle, the raccoon got lost on the patterned paper and strings of lights.
I heat-embossed the String of Lights sentiment.
I put everything together on the patterned paper background and added the assembly to a card base.

Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Kit – Home for the Holidays

Hello and happy October! Today, I am sharing two projects created with the October Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Home for the Holidays.” I had a lot of fun dressing my hostess for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!

Let’s start with the Thanksgiving card. I cut the hostess from a variety of solid and patterned papers. It was fun choosing her dress pattern.

I quieted the floral background patterned paper by adhering velum to it. I heat-embossed a My Favorite Things sentiment on pumpkin-colored cardstock to coordinate with the pie.

For the Christmas version, I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Merry Everything set on to a white cardstock circle that I placed behind the hostess to help her stand out on the background paper.

The hostess is holding a small Christmas tree. I added wrapped plaid packages, cut with dies in the set, around her feet as embellishment.

Spellbinders 2019 Limited Edition Merry Everything Christmas Kit – Day Two

Hello! Today I am sharing two more projects created with the Spellbinders holiday kit – Merry Everything. If you missed my first post of projects created with the kit click here.

My first project is a holiday card (a nighttime trip to get a Christmas tree) created with the Merry Everything kit’s die set and stamp set.

In addition to the stamp set and die set, I used the kit’s solid cardstock, gold and silver foil cardstock and glitter cardstock to create the card. I heat-embossed the ‘Tis the Season sentiment, which is one of several holiday-themed sentiments included with the kit’s stamp set.

Yesterday, I shared a scrapbook layout created with pieces from the Merry Everything kit. Today, I am sharing two pocket scrapbook pages created with contents in the kit documenting the same Christmas morning as the scrapbook layout. I added stickers and die cut pieces to the printed pocket scrapbook cards for some embellishing.

Not a scrapbooker? The pocket scrapbook cards can easily be incorporated on greeting cards.
