Spellbinders – Halloween and Fall Foiled Projects

Hello! I’m delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog sharing cards that showcase some of the just-released products in their Halloween & Fall 2020 Collection.

For both of the cards, I foiled images on colorful cardstock. Although I’ll be sad to see summer end, I’m excited about the upcoming season. I’m a self-professed Halloween fan, in large part because of the colors!

I hope you’ll head over to the Spellbinders blog for all of the details.

Spellbinders – Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens

Hello! Today I am featuring two CAS cards created with Spellbinders supplies showcasing the Jane Davenport Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens, a set of 10 acrylic paint pens – five colors with two different nibs (broad and fine).

Spellbinders is offering the pen set as part of a “Gift with Purchase” promotion: FREE Wonderland StoryTime Paint Pens with a $75+ order – a $39.99 value!

It’s easy to add paint to a papercrafting project with the pens. On my projects, I created stencils using Spellbinders dies. Using the broad nibs, I “painted” on to black cardstock. Because the paint is fast-drying, I could move to the next line immediately.

On my first project, I cut a stencil with one of the dies in the Art Studio Botanicals set through which I applied paint to draw rainbows.

Using the stencil, I drew rainbows on to black cardstock, staggering the rainbows between lines.

I trimmed the painted panel and added it to a lime-green card base.
I foiled the Crafty Sentiments sentiment with rainbow foil on white cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with a circle die and cut a vellum circle mat, adding the assembly to the card.

On my second card, I used a different die in the Art Studio Botanicals set with which I drew lines and dots on to black cardstock for butterfly wings.

I cut the wings and antenna with dies in the Flutter Wing Shadowbox Butterflies set.
I cut a light purple cardstock square and dry-embossed it with the Bright Days folder, adding it to a square (4 1/4″) white cardstock card base.
I cut the sentiment with the August 2020 Small Die of the Month kit and glued it to the card.

Hello crafty friend! Today I am sharing cards created with new products at Spellbinders this month: the August Small Die of the Month kit, the Crafty Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil set, and the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle. Let’s take a look!

With the the August Small Die of the Month set, I created a CAS Hello card featuring a mandala shape.

The Small Die of the Month set includes a variety of shapes and a full alphabet.

I cut the mandala shapes from cardstock to which I had applied Distress Inks.
I glued the pieces together on to a black cardstock background.
I added a vellum strip to the center, to which I applied double-sided adhesive.
I glued the “Hello” sentiment to the vellum.
I added the black panel to a 4 1/2″ square card base.

My second card showcases a sentiment from the Crafty Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil set and stamped images from the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle.

I foiled the sentiment in Black Foil on white cardstock and cut it with a circle die.
I stamped the images on to cardstock which I had colored with Distress Inks and cut them with their corresponding dies.
I added the sentiment and craft-themed images to a card base covered with rainbow patterned paper.

Sticking with a rainbow theme, my third card uses the paint tube image in the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle set with a sentiment cut with the alphabet dies in the Small Die of the Month set.

I colored cardstock with a variety of Distress Ink colors.
I stamped the cardstock with the paint tube stamp in the Craft Happy Stamp & Die Bundle set and cut with the corresponding die.
I cut the Hello sentiment with the alphabet dies in the Small Die of the Month set and glued the letters to the paint tubes.
I added the paint tubes to a card base covered with patterned paper.

Hello! Today I am sharing cards created with the Layered Glimmer Hot Foil Collection at Spellbinders. The products in the collection include Glimmer Foil Plates AND Dies.

My first card showcases the Glimmered Botanical Plate and Die set.

For the large flowers, I foiled light teal cardstock using plates in the Glimmered Botanical Plate and Die set with Moondust foil.
I cut the flowers with their corresponding dies. I cut the next layers for those flowers from teal foil cardstock.
I foiled the set’s leaves, flower center, and small flowers in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut those pieces with their corresponding dies.
I foiled the Everyday Sentiments II sentiment in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock. I cut the sentiment with a circle die and trimmed off the top.
The card base is 4 1/4″ square. I cut a 4″ square from So Saffron cardstock with the largest dies in the Essential Squares set.

My second card combines elements from the Geometric Floral set, the Glimmered Botanical set, and a sentiment from the For You set.

I foiled the geometric frame and the sentiment together in Matte Gold on teal cardstock.
I foiled Moondust foil foliage using plates in the Geometric Floral set to the geometric frame.
I added the foiled panel to a Brush Gold card base.
I foiled the Glimmered Botanical set’s small flowers in Matte Gold on Whip Cream cardstock, cut those pieces with their corresponding dies, and added them to the card with foam adhesive.
I cut small and large flowers with a die in the Geometric Floral set from Whip Cream and Brush Gold (centers) cardstock and added them to the card.

Spellbinders Marvelous Mermaids by Jane Davenport

Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with supplies from Spellbinders to showcase the Marvelous Mermaids Collection by Jane Davenport.

On the first card, I combined the Mermaid Paper Doll with the Mermaid Scale Tiles.

I colored Soft-Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks in shades of blue and cut the pieces with the second smallest die in the tiles set.
I used the template provided on the Spellbinders site to lay out the tiles and adhered them to a piece of aqua paper.
I colored the mermaid pieces with pastel in the Birthday Suit set and Distress Oxide inks.
For the torso piece: I stamped the bikini top, masked it, sponged on the pastel, removed the mask, and brushed on green ink to the bikini top. Then I put the cardstock back into the stamp press (on which I had left the stamp) and restamped the bikini top.
I stamped the face onto cardstock colored with the pastels; I stamped the hair onto cardstock colored with Distress Ink.
I cut all of the pieces with their corresponding dies and attached the pieces with brads.
I foiled the Thank You sentiment with black foil and cut it with a circle die.
I added the sentiment and mermaid to the tile background (measuring 5″ wide x 6 1/4″ tall).

My second card showcases the She Sells Sea Shells stamp set.

I foiled the Thank You sentiment in black foil on light blue cardstock.
I colored Soft Finish cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks.
I stamped the She Sells Sea Shells images onto the colored cardstock and fussy-cut them.
I trimmed the sentiment panel to 4″ wide x 5 1/4″ tall and added it to an A2-sized Brush Gold card base.
I scattered the shells on to the card front and adhered them with dot adhesive.
