Elizabeth Craft Designs – Halloween Cat

Hello! Today I have a Halloween card on which I combined several Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets (listed in the Supply List).

I cut the various pieces using the Pumpkin, Cat, and Halloween Accessories sets, from Bristol board to which I had applied Distress inks.
I applied more ink as necessary.
I added the assembled pieces to a card panel on which I had stamped the Reverse Confetti sentiment.

He’s (she?) is definitely too cute to spook! What I particularly like about this card: the colors and the ease with which I could combine the different die sets.

Spellbinders Card Kit – Christmas Wishes

Hello! Today I am sharing five cards created with the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit from Spellbinders. The Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit, a holiday-themed cardmaking kit which was released in November 2019, contains ten cards and envelopes, nine pieces of cardstock, eight dies, a patterned paper pad, a stamp set, die-cut shapes, adhesive gemstones, chipboard elements, and adhesive. The kit is overflowing with product!

My first card combines patterned paper with die-cut shapes and adhesive glitter elements. This took just minutes to assemble.

My second card incorporates ornaments cut with dies in the kit from metallic gold cardstock which is also included. A chipboard element was used for the sentiment.

I used the kit’s poinsettia die on my third card with a heat-embossed sentiment from the included stamp set. Adhesive gemstones were added as embellishment.

My additional cards use the kit’s die-cut and chipboard pieces with patterned paper.

There is more inspiration for the Christmas Wishes Cardmaking Kit within the product information. Thanks for visiting!

On the first card, I used the Small Die of the Month set to create a rectangular frame of ivory cardstock.

I applied VersaMark ink to parts of inside of the corner pieces and both of the joiner pieces and heat-embossed them with gold powder.
I added the assembled frame to a base, on which I arranged 1/2″ strips of colored cardstock. On the center strip, I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the More Sentiments set in Matte Gold.

I also created a card using only the corner die to create a square frame. I glimmer foiled a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments II set in Matte Gold.

Spellbinders Fun Stampers Journey Buzzworthy Collection

Hello! Today I am sharing three cards showcasing products in the FSJ Buzzworthy Collection at Spellbinders. The products in the collection work for any number of occasions.

My first card (a XL slimline measuring 9″ wide by 4″ tall!) features all three images in the Block Prints set.

I stamped the images on colored cardstock and cut them out. I used a square die on the square, a circle die on the circle, and cut the hexagon with a paper trimmer.
I stamped the sentiment on to the card base.
I added embossing paste with the Honeycomb stencil.
Once dry, I added the stamped images with dimensional foam.

To illustrate how the images can be used separately on cards, I created a 4 1/4″ square card in a similar fashion to the larger card (using a different sentiment in the set). I added the 4″ Oatmeal Cookie cardstock, on which I had applied embossing paste as before, to a white cardstock base.

My third card showcases the Trip Around the Sun stamp set.

I stamped one of the sun images included in the set repeatedly, using three ink colors, on a Whip Cream card base.
I added the sun faces with black ink.
I heat-embossed the bold sentiment.
