Spellbinders | Fave Holiday Product Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a Spellbinders blog hop featuring favorite holiday products released this year. You should have reached me from the blog of Lisa Mears. Scroll to the end of the post for the full list of participants. For the hop, I chose to create with the Snow Globe die set, part of the Simon’s Snow Globes Collection by Simon Hurley. The enchanting allure of snow globes lies in their ability to transport us to whimsical realms, evoking feelings of warmth and joy.

To celebrate, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on our blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, November 19, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced on the Spellbinders blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping costs, 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.

This card came together quickly. I limited my supplies to patterned papers, Snowdrift cardstock, and the Snow Globe die set. I previously used the set HERE.

Create an A2-size card base and add a patterned paper background.
With the circle die in the Snow Globe set, cut the night sky from patterned paper. Use the same die to cut two circles of Snowdrift cardstock. With the snowbank die in the set, cut two snowbanks. Add the snowbanks to the night sky.
Cut the snow globe base and sentiment from patterned paper and Snowdrift cardstock. Assemble and add to the globe assembly.
Cut the trees, houses, and Santa and reindeer from patterned paper and Snowdrift cardstock. Assemble and add to the snow globe with dot and foam adhesive.
Add entire assembly to the card base with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | Timeless Botanical Elegance

Hello! Today, I am sharing a card, where simplicity meet sophistication, that showcases the Spellbinders Coneflower stencil set. This five-piece stencil set makes it possible to easily create a stunning floral background.

Create an A2-size card base from Brushed Gold cardstock.
Using the five-piece Coneflower stencil set, apply Distress Oxide inks through each stencil on Snowdrift cardstock. I used Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness for the green, Picked Raspberry for the petals, and Squeezed Lemonade for the flower centers. I used Picked Raspberry (non-oxide ink) for the final layer that adds dots to the flower centers and lines to the petals.
Cut stenciled panel with a die in the A-2 Matting Basics A set. Add to Brushed Gold card base.
Glimmer-foil in Gold the “Thank You” sentiment in the Sentiments for Everyday set. Cut with a banner die and add to the card with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | Build a Card Hello

Hello! I am delighted to share a “Hello” card featuring this month’s Spellbinders Small Die of the Month Club Kit – “Build a Card Hello.” This handmade card, crafted with die-cuts and a dry-embossed background, can be sent for any number of occasions.

- Dry-emboss an A2-size panel of light-green cardstock with the Scattered Fall folder. (The folder was released September 2022 to Embossing Folder of the Month Club members.) Add to card base.
- With a die in the Small Die of the Month set, cut the floral outline twice from Snowdrift cardstock. Cut again from Fern, Terra Cotta, and navy cardstock. Use the inlay technique to fill the large bloom and leaves.
- Add assemblies to the top and bottom of the card background.
- Cut sentiment from navy cardstock and glitter foam (glitter side down). Attach together and add to the card base center.

Spellbinders | Towering Blooms

Happy November! I am delighted to share a “Hello” card featuring this month’s Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club Kit – “Towering Blooms.” This handmade card, crafted with die-cuts and a dry-embossed background, took only minutes to make and works for any number of occasions.

The amaryllis plant is known for its striking and large flowers. As they bloom indoors during the winter, they are a symbol of hope and new beginnings at the holiday season.

- With the Tiny Dots embossing folder, dry-emboss an A2-size panel of Waterfall cardstock. Adhere to card base with debossed side up.
- With the Large Die set, cut amaryllis pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble pieces. Add assembly to card base with dot and foam adhesive.
- Cut sentiment with die in the Small Die set from Brushed Gold and gold glitter foam (for height). Cut foam glitter side down. Adhere pieces and add to card.
