I used the Festive Wreaths Slider Card to create a gift card slider card, cutting the pieces from patterned paper and solid cardstock. The area revealed easily fits a gift card. I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!

  • I die-cut the bunny, carrot, and flowers with the March Small Die of the Month kit.
  • I used the negative piece of the carrot to trace the carrot shape on to patterned paper which I glued behind the carrot frame.

  • I attached the rabbit and flowers, as well as the carrot tops, to the carrot and then attached the assembled to the slider.
  • I stamped a sentiment on to white cardstock, cut it with a rectangular die, and added that to the top part of the insert.
  • The lower portion accommodates the gift card. I added twine through the hole of the insert with which to pull the insert.

Spellbinders – Die-cut Friendship Scene

Hello! This is a CAS friendship card of hope – that life will return to a time in which we can stop social distancing and self-isolating. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re hoping while we stay at home. I’m crafting to keep my wits about me. Imagine the pleasure of a simple coffee date with a friend.

Spellbinders - Die-cut Friendship Scene

I die-cut the Spellbinders Layered Friends Forever café scene from black cardstock into which I inlaid the awning colors. I dry-embossed the back piece with the Inspire embossing folder.

The Layered Friends Forever die set includes an additional die (which cuts a sentiment that goes on the front of the café scene). Instead of using that layer, I stamped the MFT Cup of Love sentiment on to the yellow background. If you’d like to see the scene with the die-cut sentiment check out this post.

24 Carrot – March 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

Hello and Happy March! 2020 is flying by. Today I am sharing two cards created with the March Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “24 Carrot.” The set includes nine dies with which you can create spring- and Easter-themed cards. Let’s take a look!

My first card features the carrot and two bunnies on a playful card using the “What’s Up?” sentiment included in the set.

24 Carrot – March 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

  • I began by cutting patterned paper for the card background.
  • I cut the carrot frame from orange cardstock. Using the negative piece, I traced the shape on to patterned paper. I cut the patterned paper and adhered the carrot outline to it. I added carrot tops cut from green cardstock. I then added the die-cut sentiment.
  • I cut the bunnies from white cardstock to which I added the ear pieces. The eyes and noses were inlaid.
  • The Easter egg, held by the bunny on the left, was cut with a die in the Festive Wreath Slider set.
  • I embellished with flowers and greenery on the left side.

For my second card, I placed one of the bunnies on top of a wreath constructed using the foliage dies included in the set.

  • To begin, I cut a circle from patterned paper to which I added the die-cut greenery.
  • I constructed the bunny as I did on the first card.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to patterned paper (panel measures 4″ x 4″) and added it to a white, linen-textured 4 1/4″ square card base.
  • I added the wreath to the card and adhered the bunny with foam adhesive.
  • I embellished the wreath with flowers.

Art Studio Botanicals – February 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the Month

Hello and Happy February! Today, I am sharing two friendship cards created with the February Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Art Studio Botanicals.” The set includes seven dies with which you can create fun abstract art – three circle shapes feature botanical images, three circle shapes feature geometrical images, and a circle die (to cut the outline on the images and to cut a solid circle).

My first card features the assembled circles placed around a “hello” sentiment on an A2-sized card.

I cut the botanical images from Whip Cream cardstock. I cut the geometrical pieces from green, blue, and teal cardstock. I cut the bottom circles from black. I assembled the circle stacks and added them to the card front. I added enamel dots to help fill the “white space.”

My second card is sized 6  1/2″ x 3  1/2″ and features the assembled circles in a row.

I cut the botanical images from Whip Cream cardstock. I cut the geometrical pieces from teal, blue, and red cardstock. I cut the bottom circles from black. I assembled the circle stacks and added them to a yellow cardstock rectangle. I heat-embossed the sentiment on to dark grey cardstock.
