Spellbinders | September 2022 Large Die + Embossing Folder of the Month

Hello! I am sharing a colorful, fall-themed, slimline card created with the Spellbinders September 2022 Large Die of the Month “Thankful Tractor” paired with the Embossing Folder “Scattered Fall.” While I might want to hold on to summer for a bit longer, I am definitely drawn to the fall colors!

Dry-emboss Sea Glass slimline panel with the Embossing Folder “Scattered Fall.” The pattern on the embossing folder is multi-directional making it versatile for fall-themed cards, no matter their size or orientation.
Create ground with Paper Bag cardstock strip. Attach background to slimline card base.
Cut and assemble Large Die of the Month “Thankful Tractor” from a variety of cardstock colors.
Attach tractor and trailer to card front.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Gnome on a Hay Ride

Hello! Today I am sharing a fall-themed card created with Elizabeth Craft Designs supplies. I have titled the post “Gnome on a Hay Ride”; you could also say he is in the pumpkin patch!

I colored Soft Finish cardstock with a variety of inks from which I cut the Gnome and Hay Ride trailer and pumpkins. I used the Farmer set for the eyes. (There are eye dies in the Scarecrow set as well.) I cut the hay bale with a die in the Farm Accessories set and the crow with a die in the Scarecrow set (now discontinued).
I stamped the Autumn Words sentiment on to an A2-size panel on to which I applied inks for the sky and ground. I have very few fall/Halloween-themed sentiment stamp sets and just purchased this one.
I added the assembled trailer with gnome to the background panel with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | Camper Life Winter Birthday

Hello! I am sharing a winter birthday card featuring the incredibly versatile Camper Life die set, part of the Warm Wishes Camper Collection at Spellbinders. Check out all the new collections here. I used the Camper Life die set on a Halloween card and a holiday card. Scroll for details about the Spellbinders Back to School Sale that runs until August 28, 2022, 11:59 PST.

I created the background snow by applying Deco Foil Blanco Transfer Gel through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to Cosmic Sky cardstock. In order to cover the entire background (the card is 5 inches wide by 7 inches tall) I stenciled twice. Once dry, I added the panel to a card base.
With the Camper Life die set, I cut the camper and snowbank from Snowdrift, Lagoon, Phone Booth, Timber, Beeswax, white glitter, and silver foil cardstock.
I heat-embossed the Sweet & Savory sentiment on Lagoon cardstock and cut it with a Spellbinders banner die.
I added the camper assembly, snowbank, and sentiment to the card background.

Spellbinders | Halloween Haunted Camper

Hello! Today I am sharing a Halloween-themed card combining two new die sets at Spellbinders: Camper Life and Haunted House.

To create the background, I cut a 5 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches panel from Royal Amethyst cardstock, which I added to a card base. Other options: use patterned paper or dry-emboss solid cardstock.
To create the ground, I cut dark gray cardstock with the snowbank/jagged hill die in the Camper Life set.
With the Camper Life set, I cut the camper from a variety of cardstock colors and assembled it.
I cut the ghosts, bats, and moon with dies in the Haunted House set.
I cut the sentiment with the now-retired Spellbinders Simply Perfect Alphabet set from black foam.
