Spellbinders | Camper Life

Hello! I am sharing a charming winter holidays-themed card featuring the Camper Life die set, part of the Warm Wishes Camper Collection at Spellbinders.

I created the background snow by applying Deco Foil Blanco Transfer Gel through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to dark gray 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 and assembled the camper, snowbank, and sentiment from Snowdrift, Brushed Silver, Lagoon, Phone Booth, brown, and silver foil cardstock.
I added the camper assembly, snowbank, and sentiment to the card background and embellished with snowflakes cut with the Holiday Decorations set.

Thanks for dropping by! I hope you are inspired to start crafting with this collection.

Lawn Fawn | Plant-A-Succulent

Hello! Today I am showcasing the Lawn Fawn Plant-A-Succulent die set, which was part of their Spring 2022 release, on a friendship card.

I colored Soft Finish Cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks which I cut with the dies in the Plant-A-Succulent set for the pots with faces and the plants.
I glued the die-cut pots and plants together. The pieces are designed for easy assembly.
I stamped the Lawn Fawn sentiment (a complimentary stamp included in a Lawn Fawn order) on a panel colored with Distress Oxide inks in shades of yellow and orange. (The panel was something I had in a stash of ink-colored cardstock).
For the base, I added Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink to a Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock strip.
I created a frame from white cardstock by diecutting the largest die in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set within the largest die in the Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Halloween Hay Ride

Hello! Today I am sharing a fall/Halloween card created with a combination of Elizabeth Craft Designs die sets. I am eagerly awaiting the fall- and Halloween-themed releases from the various manufacturers.

I colored Soft Finish Cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks from which I cut the Hay Ride and witch hat elements as well as the background grassy hill.
I attached the grassy hill to the stamped background panel. The sentiment is from a discontinued Taylored Expressions stamp set.
I glued the pumpkins, leaves, and hat to the hay wagon before adding the wagon to the background with foam adhesive.
To embellish, I added a single pumpkin and leaf to the lower-left corner.

You can see more information about the Elizabeth Craft Designs release that includes the Hay Ride set in this video and this one.
