Valentines - Right as Rain

Valentine Featuring Spellbinders Embossing Folder

Hello! I am sharing another mini-slimline card featuring the Spellbinders February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club. Check out my previous post showcasing this same design here. This card is Valentine-themed.

Color white cardstock with Distress Oxide inks.
Die-cut the inked panel to a mini-slimline size using the largest die in the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A set.
Dry-emboss the panel with the February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club. Remove the top texture with a sanding block to reveal the pattern in white.
Using a die in the Fluted Classics Circles set, cut a circle from the panel slightly above the middle.

Create a card base sized 3.5 x 6.5 inches; create a mat for the dry-embossed panel from Onyx cardstock.
Die-cut custom the large sentiment with dies in the Simply Perfect Alphabet set from Onyx cardstock.
Glimmer-foil sentiment from the Mini Sincere Sentiments on Snowdrift cardstock in black. Trim and position behind the dry-embossed panel, giving room for the larger letters.
Glue Simply Perfect Alphabet letters above the glimmer-foiled sentiment.

Now through Sunday, February 13, 2022, join the Glimmer Foil Fiesta to save up to 40% Glimmer Hot Foil Plates and 25% Off Glimmer Hot Foil Rolls.

Spellbinders Be Bold – Color Block Love Take 2

Hello! I am sharing another CAS Valentine’s Day card created with the Be Bold Color Block Love You die set at Spellbinders. You can see my first card using the set here.

On this card, I die-cut the “LOVE” letters from white glitter paper and inlaid die-cut pieces of red and shades of pink.

I die-cut the “you” letters from white cardstock that I had heat-embossed with Gold Tinsel powder.

Spellbinders January 2022 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kelly Taylor. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created gift card holders with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “A Pocket Full of Love.” I previously shared a card created with the same die set here.

To celebrate this release, 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, January 16, 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 gift card holders, I created the same design, varying the colors I used. This unique die set creates a pocket in which to place a note, a photo, a gift card, and more revealed by pulling up the heart.

Create A2-size card bases with the January 2022 Embossing Folder “Spreading Love.” Spellbinders launched the Embossing Folder Club on January 1, and the response has been so overwhelming this Club has sold out. This design may be brought back at a later time (check the “Past Clubs” section). Be sure to sign up for Clubs right away on the first of the month so as to not miss out on any future designs.
Create the pockets – die-cut, score on three sides – and adhere to dry-embossed backgrounds.
Die-cut solid hearts, detailed hearts, detailed pocket covers, and enclosure panel pieces. Assemble.
Glimmer foil the sentiments with the More Sentiments set in silver and cut with a die in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Sandra Nagel. Scroll for the full blog hop list.

Spellbinders January 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a CAS slimline card created with the Spellbinders January 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Spreading Love.” This is a brand-new Spellbinders kit club for 2022. The folder size will generally be 5.5 x 8.5 inches and can be used to make cards in a variety of sizes including slimline, 5 x 7, and A2.

Die-cut nine 1-inch strips, greater in length than 3 1/2 inches, from colored cardstock. I was inspired by the colors of the iconic conversation heart candies.
Tape together on the back and trim to slimline size.
Dry-emboss with the “Spreading Love” Embossing Folder.
Glimmer-foil the sentiments in Matte Silver on Snowdrift cardstock with plates in the Everyday Sentiments II set. Cut with outline heart die in the Large Die of the Month set.
