Spellbinders | Autumn Scarecrow Card

Hello! Today, I’m excited to share an autumn-themed card featuring the Spellbinders “Autumn Scare Crow” die set – this month’s Small Die of the Month offering. This card showcases a charming scarecrow standing in a field, with a pumpkin patch sign welcoming the harvest season.

- Cover an A2-size card base with patterned paper. Ink edges, adding more ink along the bottom to create a ground.
- Color Bristol paper with Distress Inks in a variety of colors. While this is more time-consuming than cutting from color cardstock, the technique offers variety in color that is not possible with solid color cardstock.
- With dies in the Small Die of the Month set, cut pieces and assemble as necessary.
- Add elements to card background, using foam adhesive to achieve dimension.

Spellbinders | Fall Wreath Card

Hello! As the leaves begin to turn, there’s no better time to create a card that captures the warmth and togetherness of the season. This fall-themed wreath card pairs a Spellbinders die set with a BetterPress sentiment.

- Dry-emboss a Teal Topaz panel with the Deco Holiday folder and add to an A2-size card base.
- Color white cardstock with a variety of Distress Ink colors and cut with dies in the Build-A-Wreath set.
- Assemble flowers, bow, and twig wreath. Add to card background.
- BetterPress All Seasons Autumn Sentiments sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock with Icing on the Cake ink. Cut with coordinating die. I have been experimenting with a number of different inks. I really liked how well this Catherine Pooler ink worked.
- Add sentiment to card with foam adhesive.

Do you hang a fall wreath on your door?

Spellbinders | Team Spirit Penguin

Hello! With the start of regular season football just around the corner, I am sharing a handmade card featuring a penguin sporting his (her) team’s colors. Using Spellbinders dies, I’ve dressed this penguin in Seattle Seahawks green and blue, perfect for celebrating my hometown team. But don’t worry—whether you’re a fan of another team or want to make a card for someone else, the penguin’s scarf and earmuffs can easily be changed to match any sports colors.

- Create card background from a Purple Mist cardstock panel cut with the largest die in the Precision Layering A2 A set and dry-embossed with the Sparkling Snow 3D folder. Add to A2-size card base.
- Cut penguin with dies in the Whimsical Winter Critters and Festive Ornaments sets from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble.
- Cut snowflakes with dies in the Christmas Wreath Add-Ons and the Holiday Decorations die sets from white flock.
- BetterPress the All Seasons Winter sentiment in black ink and cut with coordinating die.
