Spellbinders All Aboard Card Kit Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be taking part in the Spellbinders All Aboard Card Kit Blog Hop. You should have reached me from the blog of Ilina Crouse. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) I previously shared projects with the kit here, here, and here.

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, October 3rd, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

For the hop, I created two cards and two tags with the All Aboard Card Kit. I had kept the kit pieces together in the original box, and it was easy to find coordinating die-cut and chipboard elements, solid cardstock, patterned paper, and embellishments. These projects took almost no time to assemble.

I dry-embossed the card bases using the Evergreen folder (dark green) and the Stargazer folder (burgundy).

To help cluster the die-cut pieces, I cut 3-inch circles with the detail and outline dies and backed with gold foil. Both the textured white cardstock and gold foil are included in the kit. I embellished the tree with Gold Mix Gems. To add dimension to the cards, I mixed chipboard elements from the kit with the die-cut pieces.

I die-cut the tags with the Heart to Heart Tag set from patterned paper in the kit, which I backed with white cardstock.

I added one of the tags to a coffee/chocolate-themed gift.

Just as I did on the cards, I mixed die-cut elements with chipboard pieces. I used enamel dots from the kit to embellish the tree.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope I have inspired you. Head next to the blog of Yasmin Diaz. Scroll for full list of participants.

Holiday Penguin Tags

Hello! I’m sharing holiday tags featuring the Tux die set. I’ve placed the penguin on to tags cut with the Spellbinders Tag, You’re It die (stock number SR-004). The die set is out-of-stock but is available at other retailers. Spellbinders is running a promotion right now on Steel Rule dies.

Steel Rule dies are thick dies that can cut a variety of materials such as denim, chipboard, metal, etc. I used the die set to cut corrugated cardstock, cork, and various glitter cardstocks I have in my stash.

To construct the penguins, I die cut the pieces using these instructions as a guide. To note: the penguin head is added on top of the body after the scarf is added, which differs from the way the instructions are written.

I adhered snowflakes to the tags and added the penguins on top with foam adhesive. I heat-embossed the sentiment on a strip, which I added under the tag grommet.

Spellbinders 2019 Limited Edition Merry Everything Christmas Kit

Hello! Today I am sharing three projects created with the Spellbinders holiday kit that contains OVER 630 PIECES aptly called Merry Everything. Let’s take a look!

The Merry Everything kit includes: 25 cards & 25 envelopes, patterned paper, cardstock, foil cardstock, a stamp set, a die set, pocket memory keeping cards, stickers, chipboard, tags, twine, glitter alpha, and more! The colors and themes are on trend and easily coordinate with one another.

My first project is a set of Christmas tags which were a cinch to assemble with the kit’s contents. These are so pretty, my holiday packages can be wrapped with plain paper.

Next up, two “ready made” cards I created by combining pieces – patterned paper, pocket memory keeping cards, diamante embellishments, and die cut shapes – from the kit. Again, these were created in just a few minutes.

My final project is a 12 x 12 scrapbook layout documenting the excitement of Christmas morning for two young boys. I combined pieces from the kit – pocket memory keeping cards, die cut pieces, stickers, tags – to create embellishment clusters for the page. Additionally, I used solid cardstock (the journaling strip), vellum paper, and patterned paper from the kit on the layout.

I’ll be back tomorrow with two more projects, a card created with the die set and stamp set and pocket memory keeping pages, using pieces from the Merry Everything holiday kit!

Penny Black Critter Costumes – Halloween Tags

Hello! Today I am sharing treat tags created with Penny Black supplies showcasing the newly-released #30-592 Critter Costumes stamp set. I’m a big fan of Halloween (and treats!).

I stamped four of the costumed critters in the set and colored the images with Copic markers. I fussy cut the critters and added them to tags which I crafted with the #51-007 Tagged die set.

Some of the tags were stamped with the #40-144 Dots In Space background stamp while others were dry-embossed.

I mixed and matched for variety. The sentiments were cut from the #51-077 Eeek! die set. I originally cut the sentiments in black but they showed up much better in white.

Simon Says Stamp – Wrap It Up Challenge Tag

Hello! I couldn’t resist playing along with the Simon Says Stamp challenge with a CAS tag in one of my favorite color combinations – kraft, white, and red – using my favorite papercrafting techniques – diecutting, heat-embossing, and stenciling! The challenge features holiday wrapping projects created with Tim Holtz products. I used Tim Holtz dies, stamps, and stencils on my project. Let’s take a look.

I started by die-cutting the Santa and Snow Globe with the Tiny Snowglobes set.
I assembled the Santa with Nuvo glue. I used a toothpick to apply the glue.
I heat-embossed the Festive Overlay sentiment with Red Geranium embossing powder on the Lawn Fawn Kraft cardstock.
I cut the cardstock with one of the tag dies in the Tag Collection set.
I added embossing paste through the Dot Fade stencil to the globe to simulate snow.
While the embossing paste dried, I sponged white pigment ink through the Pine stencil, which is included in the Mini Stencil Set 32.
I finished off the tag with Lawn Fawn Peppermint twine (an absolute favorite of mine).
