Happy New Year! Today, I am sharing two Valentine’s Day cards created with the January Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Bold Love.”
I’ve created cards of the same design in two different color combinations to illustrate the variety obtained simply by changing colors. For example, including metallic cardstock creates a more formal card.
The red background card incorporates brushed gold letters, a white background for the letters, gold hearts, and purple flowers. The LOVE letters were added to the background assembly with foam adhesive.
The turquoise/teal background card incorporates red letters, a white background for the letters, red hearts, and yellow and blue flowers.
I’m already thinking of additional color schemes for the card. Black background? Gold background for the letters? Brushed and shiny metallic for the hearts and flowers?
Wishing you all the best in 2020!

Hello! I recently commented on how much I like cards with windows – today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card with Santa at the window!
I originally had the window assembly on a green dry-embossed (pine bough motif) panel, and it just wasn’t quite whimsical or fun enough. I’m so glad I swapped that panel out for the dark blue with snow. Another idea would be to apply the Transfer Gel product through the stencil and run the panel through the Minc with white flock (something I’m just now thinking about).

Hello! Today, I am sharing two cards created with the December Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Our Favorite Font Sentiment Set.”
The set includes fourteen word dies, in a versatile font, with which you can create a variety of expressions for a number of occasions such as: “Thinking of You,” “With Sympathy,” “Birthday Wishes to You,” and “Congrats to You,” as well as the more obvious “Thank You,” “Love You,” and “Happy Birthday.”
My first card is a Valentine, which includes several other Spellbinders sets, on which I used the “Love You” sentiment.
I’ve combined the Tux set (he’s still wearing a scarf but I removed his ear muffs) with the First Crush die set (balloon). I created the heart panel with the largest die in the Nestabilities Class Heart set. The card measures 4 1/2″ square.
My second card is a Thank You note on which I combined the sentiment with the Butterfly Frame-A-Long die set.
I dry-embossed the background (measuring 4 1/4″ square) with the Pretty Plaid embossing folder. I created a frame by adhering the butterfly/flower strips together at the corners; I then added the flower overlays, cut from yellow cardstock. I glued pearls to the centers of the flowers for embellishment.
Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card with a pet-lover in mind featuring the new I (Heart) Puppies die set from Spellbinders. The set includes three dog silhouettes. While I’ve created a holiday card, the set lends itself to many occasions. I’ve listed additional sentiment ideas at the end of the post.
Punny sentiments for other occasions include: “You Make My Heart Go Mutts,” “You’re Pawsome,” “The Puggle Is Real,” “It’s Been Ruff,” “Doggone It,” and “It’s Pawty Time.”
