Introducing Spellbinders Trim the Tree Collection

Hello! I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog featuring two cards created with the recently-released Trim the Tree Collection, which includes dies, glimmer plates, and a stencil that work together or separately. I created the cards with a three-step approach: create the background, create the focal point(s), and embellish. Head to the post for all of the details!

Spellbinders – Christmas Collection – Be Merry

Hello! Today, I am sharing an A2-sized Christmas card showcasing products from the just-released Be Merry Collection at Spellbinders.

I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to an A2-sized panel of red, velvet-textured cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas sentiment in gold on to navy cardstock.
After masking the sentiment, I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil. Once dry, I cut the sentiment with a 3 inch circle die.
I die-cut the snowy hills from glitter cardstock with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and cut them with the 3 inch circle die. I adhered the snow banks to the navy circle.
I die-cut the Chill Bear from Snowdrift cardstock and gold foil.
I die-cut the ornament top from gold foil with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline die set. The ornament string was cut with a die in a previously-released Spellbinders Christmas die set.
I added the ornament and bear to the red background.

Thanks for stopping by!

Rubbernecker – Stormy Weather

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Fishing Boat die at Rubbernecker.

I have been sharing a lot of nautical cards of late. For this one, I wanted to use a different sentiment than “Ahoy” (or similar). My idea for the different sentiment came about after I inked clouds in the sky with the MFT Cloud Stencil. The sky indicated a storm was moving in. If I found myself in rough sea, I’d certainly prefer to be in a fishing boat rather than a sailboat! Of course, the Fishing Boat can be used for a nautical card with an “Ahoy” sentiment.
I created the sentiment on my computer and cut it with the Rubbernecker Deckle Frame die. I did something similar on this card.
I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the waves from two shades of blue cardstock.

Nautical-themed Die-cut Card

Hello (or should I say ahoy?)! I am always enthusiastic about crafting anything nautical-themed. I’ve been interested in all things nautical my entire life, even though I didn’t spend my childhood anywhere near the water.

Today’s card features the Memory Box Marina Sailboats. I chose a favorite color scheme of red, white, and blue for the boats.

I cut the sailboats from red (SU Real Red), white, and navy (SU Night of Navy) cardstock. I trimmed pieces in order to change the color of the hulls.
To create the background, I applied white embossing paste to SU Daffodil Delight cardstock through the MFT Radiating Rays stencil. I used Dreamweaver white embossing paste.
I created the sentiment by cutting the letters twice, once in white and once in red (SU Real Red), with the Cole’s ABCs dies. I offset the letters when I adhered them.
I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the ocean from Memory Box cardstock. The wave die set includes three wave patterns (three different sizes of the waves); I used all three.

Supplies: Memory Box MARINA SAILBOATS die set; My Favorite Things RADIATING RAYS stencil; Reverse Confetti Polar White cardstock
