Hello! Today, I am sharing a birdhouse-themed “hello” card created with Spellbinders die sets and glimmer foil plate.

Spellbinders | Spring Birdhouse

  • Glimmer-foil the Sentiments for Everyday in Black on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with the corresponding die. This is fast becoming a go-to set for sentiments.

  • Die-cut the Sweet Birds on a Branch elements from colored cardstock and white cardstock colored with Distress Oxide inks. Add leaves to branch with glue, glue together birds and flowers, add flowers to branch, and add bird inside birdhouse.

Spellbinders | March 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month

Hello! I’m sharing a CAS mini-slimline card created with the Spellbinders March 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Garden Path.”

Spellbinders | March 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month

I used die-cutting, glimmer-foiling, and dry-embossing on this card – my favorite techniques!

Spellbinders | March 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month

  • I applied VersaMark ink on the embossing folder before running it through my die-cutting machine. This method enhances the contrast of the raised area on the background.
  • I glimmer-foiled in black a sentiment from the Sentiments for Everyday set on vellum. I backed the vellum with double-sided adhesive and cut it with a die in the mini slimline B set. I added the sentiment strip to the dry-embossed panel and used the largest die in the mini slimline A set to cut it. This way I knew the sentiment strip would be straight.
  • I added the dry-embossed panel with the sentiment to a white, textured cardstock card base.
  • I die-cut the bunny and flower with dies in the Open House Spring set. You can see additional cards featuring this set here and here. I added the elements to the card base.
