Spellbinders | Hearts and Mugs

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday card created with small die-cuts, cut with Spellbinders dies. The card uses one of my favorite design principles – repetition. The same design could easily be used for a friendship card or Valentine.

Glimmer foil the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments sentiment in Gold on a Snowdrift cardstock panel. Trim as necessary and add to A2-size card base.
With Tiered Tray Décor die, cut mugs from navy, Pink Sand, green, Snowdrift, and Raindrop cardstock.
With heart die in the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set, cut hearts from navy, Pink Sand, green, Snowdrift, and Raindrop cardstock.
Adhere hearts to mugs. Add mugs to card panel with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | Eight Point Star Quilt Square

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS friendship-themed card showcasing the Filigree Eight Point Star die set, part of the Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken at Spellbinders. I have shared projects created with the collection here, here, and here. I guess the cold and damp January weather has me thinking about bundling up in a quilt! Scroll past the project photos for a new Spellbinders promotion.

Cut frame from Snowdrift cardstock with dies in the Filigree Eight Point Star set. Adhere the four frame sections together and back assembly with a 4-inch square piece of cardstock.
Cut star pieces from patterned paper and add to frame.
Stamp Quilty Hugs sentiment in black on a 5-inch square Glacier cardstock panel. Add quilt square and adhere assembly to card base.

Lawn Fawn | Winter Cabin Take Two

Hello! Today I am sharing a winter-themed card showcasing the Lawn Fawn Build-a-Cabin die set. This combination of elements works for a variety of occasions including Christmas or friendship. I previously shared a card featuring this die set here. On the card I am sharing today, I changed the orientation, the sentiment, and the color scheme.

Create A2-size card base from navy cardstock.
Cut Snow Flurries Backdrop from white cardstock. Add strip of white cardstock to the bottom of the navy cardstock for snow. Glue Snow Flurries Backdrop to base. Previously, I have tucked the card elements under the snow frame. Given the number of elements, I decided to have the snow frame take a back seat and added the elements above the frame.
Cut Build-a-Cabin pieces from Light Brown Woodgrain, Chocolate Bar, dark brown, brushed silver, yellow, gray, and white cardstock. I used the Build-a-House Christmas Add On to cut a doorknob. Assemble cabin; cover back of windows and door with the yellow cardstock.
Stamp Snowball Fight sentiment in black on Noble Fir cardstock and cut with die in the Everyday Sentiment Banners set; add to card.
Cut evergreen trees from white and Noble Fir cardstock with dies in the Forest Backdrop set; assemble.
Apply Snowfall Grit Paste to cabin roof and trees; set aside to dry.
Add assembled Build-a-Cabin and trees, using foam adhesive as necessary for depth.

Spellbinders | January 2023 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2023 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Kotas. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two cards featuring products included in the January 2023 Large Die of the Month, the Happy Plant die set, and the Quick & Easy Card Kit.

Please note: the Large Die, Stitching Die, and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs are sold out. Be sure to join in February so you won’t miss out on the new designs.

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, January 22, 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.

My floral friendship card showcases blooms created with the Large Die of the Month set planted in a pot cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Happy Plant die set. I glimmer-foiled a sentiment in Gold using a plate in the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments set. The Glacier background was dry-embossed with the Intertwined Lattice folder. I added Gold Mix Gems for embellishment.

To play on the plant theme of the Quick & Easy Card Kit, I created a greenhouse (draw freehand or create with a drawing program). I cut the greenhouse and adhered it to a textured white card base. I added the elements to the scene using foam adhesive for extra dimension for some of the elements. I added a sentiment and enamel dots included in the kit.

Looking for more inspiration? I previously used the Large Die of the Month here, the Quick & Easy Card Kit here, and the Happy Plant die set here.
