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.

Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day Four

Hello! Today I am sharing a mini-slimline birthday card created with the Day Four surprise in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders– a versatile “Happy Birthday” sentiment die set. Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

Create mini-slimline card base from Chocolate Bar cardstock.
Cut balloons and strings with the Color Block Balloons dies from Snowdrift, Beeswax, Waterfall, and Lipstick Red cardstock; assemble.
Cut sentiment from Vellum and Lipstick Red cardstock; assemble.
Add balloon assembly to the card base with foam adhesive; adhere sentiment on top.

Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day Three

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with the Day Three surprise in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders– a wavy die (another die, which I did not use, was also included). Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

I glimmer-foiled in Gold the Glimmer Wishes sentiment on a Pomegranate panel.
I cut the panel with the largest Essential Arches die. I then cut the panel with the tree die in the Blooming Tree set.
I used the advent calendar die to cut the wavy piece from Brushed Gold for nine strips. I adhered the stripes to a Fern cardstock panel.
I trimmed the Fern panel, adhered the arch panel on top, and added the assembly to an off-white card base. I embellished the tree with a star cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Holiday Decorations set.
