Spellbinders | Duck with Umbrella

Hello! I am sharing a “hello” card created with several Spellbinders supplies including the cute Duck with Umbrella die set, part of the Showered with Love Collection.

Spellbinders | Duck with Umbrella

  • Create background by adding a 1-1/2 inch of dark gray cardstock to patterned paper (I used a paper from an Echo Park pad that I had in my stash). Add to A2-size card base. (I first tried a background without a defined ground; it left the duck floating in space.)
  • Cut Duck with Umbrella from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble. (After I had the duck assembled, I realized I had dressed him like Paddington Bear!)
  • Stamp I’ve Got You Covered sentiment on Snowdrift and cut with one of the On Cloud Nine dies. Cut additional clouds.
  • Add elements to background, using foam adhesive on duck and sentiment cloud.

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.

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.

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.

Lawn Fawn | Winter Cabin

  • 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.
