Winter - Right as Rain

Penny Black – Bring on the Snow

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card created with a new Penny Black sentiment set 30-852 Fresh Snow paired with additional die sets. I used the same design on a card here.

For the background, stamp 40-706 Snowflake Pattern in white ink on Taylored Expressions Earl Grey cardstock.
Heat-emboss the sentiment in silver 30-852 Fresh Snow on light blue cardstock and cut with the 51-053 A Pocket Full die. Use same die to cut vellum.
Cut penguin and snowbank with the 51-668 Festive Family die set. I used the same set on this card.
Die-cut snowflakes with the 51-708 Dancing Snowflakes set.
Add sentiment panel, vellum, penguins, snowbank, and snowflakes to card base.

Spellbinders – Christmas Night Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday card created with the recently-released Spellbinders Holiday Medley Collection showcasing the Silent Night Make a Scene and All is Calm Word Frame die sets.

While the Silent Night Make a Scene set is designed to work with the Make a Scene set (see my cards using that set here) to create a kinetic card, I created a static scene card.

I created a base and frame for the scene with the Scallop Façade Frame set. I die-cut snow banks with the Color Block Scenic Scape set, (this die set has been my go-to for holiday cards this year), from glitter cardstock.

I die-cut the elements from the Silent Night Make a Scene set and All is Calm Word Frame from white, colored, and silver foil cardstock. The houses were backed with silver foil cardstock.

I assembled the scene and added Silver Mix Gems to the snowflake centers and the lead reindeer’s nose.

Spellbinders is offering up to 40% off on Select Stamps through Sunday, August 29th, 2021.

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!
