Right as Rain - Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

Spellbinders – Christmas Night Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a holiday card created with the recently-released Spellbinders Holiday Medley Collection showcasing the Silent Night Make a Scene and All is Calm Word Frame die sets.

While the Silent Night Make a Scene set is designed to work with the Make a Scene set (see my cards using that set here) to create a kinetic card, I created a static scene card.

I created a base and frame for the scene with the Scallop Façade Frame set. I die-cut snow banks with the Color Block Scenic Scape set, (this die set has been my go-to for holiday cards this year), from glitter cardstock.

I die-cut the elements from the Silent Night Make a Scene set and All is Calm Word Frame from white, colored, and silver foil cardstock. The houses were backed with silver foil cardstock.

I assembled the scene and added Silver Mix Gems to the snowflake centers and the lead reindeer’s nose.

Spellbinders is offering up to 40% off on Select Stamps through Sunday, August 29th, 2021.

Penny Black – Smell the Sea

Hello! I cannot believe that this is the last full week of August! The summer has flown by. Today I am sharing an “end of summer card” showcasing the Penny Black 30-844 At Ease stamp set, from their “Dream & Discover” collection.

With the 30-844 At Ease set, I stamped the beach houses. I then colored the images with Copics and colored pencils and fussy-cut them.
Separately I stamped the houses on to cardstock to which I applied Distress Oxide inks for the sky, ocean, and sand. Before applying the ink, I masked the flag and fish kite.
Next, I stamped the sentiment and birds with Archival Ink. After removing the masks, I colored the flag and the fish kite. I added the fussy-cut houses to the panel. The card measure 7 inches wide by 5 inches tall.

Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit 2021 Part Three

Hello! Today, I am sharing more holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit. I shared a card created with the kit’s 13-piece die set here and holiday cards created with the kit’s contents here.

Similar to the cards from yesterday, these cards were made using the kit’s patterned paper, card bases, gemstones, die-cut shapes (the deer on the left), and gift tags (shown below).

Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit 2021 Part Two

Hello! Today, I am sharing two holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit. I shared a card created with the kit’s 13-piece die set here.

These cards were made using the kit’s patterned paper, card bases, floral die-cuts, gold glitter paper, gemstones, and additional die cut shapes (sentiments). They were quick to put together!

Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit 2021 Limited Edition

Hello! Over the next several days, I will be sharing holiday cards created with the Spellbinders All Aboard Christmas Kit that contains over 580 pieces with which you can create 25+ cards, 24+ tags, and much more. Today, I am showcasing the kit’s 13-piece die set, which includes dies to create a train, train cars, and goodies to fill the train cars.

To create the train, the background, the sentiment, and the embellishments, I used the kit’s solid cardstock, patterned paper, gold foil cardstock, sequins, and die-cut shapes.

The card measures 6 inches wide by 3 inches tall.

Other ideas for this die-set:

Use the packages, ornament, and tree shapes on a Christmas-themed tag or card without the train.
Use the train and packages on a birthday card, which is not Christmas-themed.

My second post with the kit is here.
