Spellbinders | CAS Rainbow Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS card created with Spellbinders supplies, suitable for many occasions including friendship and congratulations.

Add clouds and rainbow to stenciled panel.

Rubbernecker Santa in the Window

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card combining several Rubbernecker die sets and one of their stencils. I previously used the Santa die on this card.

I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on to dark red cardstock.
I stenciled the card base with the Repeating Bricks stencil in dark red ink.
I die-cut the pieces for the window, Santa, the presents, and the tree, and ornaments (with a circle die in the Fishing Boat die set) and assembled them. (I actually made this card twice. The first time, I had no tree and I showed the card to my eldest son who asked, “Where’s the tree?”)
I added Santa, the tree, and the presents to a light-blue cardstock panel.
I attached the window with foam adhesive and added the assembly to the card base.

Tim Holtz Christmas Gentleman

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Christmas card that features a festive gentleman, who looks as if he stepped out of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The Christmas 2021 Vault Series die includes the gentleman, as well as the wreath and lamp post. (Emboldened supplies without links are available from multiple stores and are included in the supply list at the end of the post.)

To begin I stenciled the snowflakes, part of Mini Stencil Set Number 50, with white pigment ink on to a teal cardstock base. I did this twice to cover the area, letting it dry between the applications.
I die-cut the Christmas 2021 Vault Series from cardstock and assembled them, using Brushed Gold behind the lamppost.
I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on white cardstock with gold embossing powder, trimmed the panel, and added it to the stenciled background.
I added the lamp post, gentleman, and wreath to the scene.

Tim Holtz Cozy Winter Tags

Hello! Today I am sharing two versions of a holiday tag featuring the Tim Holtz Cozy Winter bear. I previously shared a card featuring the bear here.

I used a die in the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Tag Collection set to create the tag base, cutting cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide ink.

On both tags, I used the Flurries stencil, varying the method by which I created the snowflakes. For the tag on the left, I applied Transfer Gel through the stencil. Once dry, I ran the tag through my Minc with Flock Transfer (now called Deco Foil Plush Paper, White Latte).

For the tag on the right, I applied white embossing paste through the stencil and sprinkled it with Clear Rock Candy glitter.

In addition to changing up the color of cardstocks I used to create the bears, I changed up the sentiment as well. For the first bear, I stamped the Bold Tidings Mini sentiment on to white cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders Color Block Scenic Scape die.

On the other, I added Clear Rock Candy glitter to white cardstock (with double-sided adhesive), cut the cardstock with the Spellbinders Color Block Scenic Scape die, and added a sentiment cut with the Alphanumeric Bold set, from cardstock to which I had applied Broken China Glaze.

The Cozy Winter set includes a mug for the bear to hold. I swapped out the mug for a present, cut with the Christmas Minis set. I cut the present from cardstock to which I had applied Broken China Glaze and cardstock which I had heat-embossed with Red Tinsel embossing powder. I cut the scarf from these same two pieces.

I really enjoy using the same design while varying the ways in which I create the elements.
