Spellbinders | December 2022 Large Die + Embossing Folder – Another Take

Hello! Today, I am sharing another Valentine’s Day/love-themed card created with the Spellbinders December 2022 Large Die “Blooming Heart” and Embossing Folder “Heart Blooms.” I previously shared a card here created with these two items. This design was inspired by the “I Love Lucy” heart, even though it does not look like it!

I created a 5 1/4 inch square card base from Brushed Gold cardstock. I dry-embossed a pearl finish white cardstock with the Embossing Folder, trimmed it, and added it to the base.
I cut the Large Die heart from dark red cardstock and the left floral element from gold glitter foam and Brushed Gold cardstock. The Brushed Gold cardstock nicely shows the die detail. I adhered the Brushed Gold element to the glitter foam piece for depth.
I cut the sentiment from the pearl finish white cardstock.
I added the floral piece and sentiment to the heart, added the heart to the background, and embellished with Gold Mix Gems.

Today, I am sharing a Valentine’s Day/love-themed card created with the Spellbinders December 2022 Large Die “Blooming Heart” and Embossing Folder “Heart Blooms.” Find more inspiration for the Large Die set here and for the embossing folder here.

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.

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.

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.
