Spellbinders | September 2022 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders September 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Kotas. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a whimsical, slimline Christmas card with this month’s Large Die of the Month “Thankful Tractor” and fall-themed gift tags with the Large Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder “Scattered Fall.”

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, September 18, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note, store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

Dry-emboss slimline panel of Waterfall cardstock with Puff Dotty embossing folder and add to slimline card base. Add 1″ tall white cardstock to bottom for snow. (I used flocked white cardstock.)
Cut tractor and trailer with the Large Die of the Month from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble.
Add Santa, Christmas balls, stockings, and sentiment tag to trailer.

Embellish scene with snowflakes cut with dies in the Let It Snowman set and a Poppy Pearl Dot to secure the sentiment tag.

Add a sweet tag to gifts this fall. I can think of dozens of things to which I could attach these – candles, coffee, baked goods, mugs, …!

Cut tag from Lagoon cardstock dry-embossed with the Embossing Folder “Scattered Fall.”

Looking for more inspiration? I previously used the Large Die of the Month and the Embossing Folder on a slimline card here. I used the Embossing Folder on a friendship card here.

Spellbinders | Winter Tales Magical Deer

Hello! I am delighted to share a winter-themed card created with the Magical Deer die set, part of the Spellbinders Winter Tales Collection by Zsoka Marko, which is inspired by Norwegian folk art.

I applied paste through the snow portion of the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on an A2-size panel of Brushed Silver cardstock. Once dry, I added it to a card base.
I cut the Magical Deer from Onyx, Pomegranate, Cosmic Sky, and Snowdrift cardstock and assembled the pieces.
I glimmer-foiled the Glitter Wishes sentiment in Silver on Snowdrift cardstock and then cut it with the snowbank die in the Warm Wishes Camper die set.
I trimmed the sentiment snowbank and added it to the card. I added the Magical Deer with foam adhesive.

Elizabeth Craft Designs | Scarecrow

Hello! Today, I am sharing a fall-themed card featuring the Elizabeth Craft Designs Scarecrow die set.

I colored Soft Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks from which I cut the Scarecrow pieces.
I stamped a white cardstock panel with the Autumn Words sentiment and cut it with the largest die in the Small Stitched Rectangle Stackables set.
I added the stamped panel to an A2-size background of PhotoPlay Fall Plaids paper, which I attached to a card base.
I added the assembled Scarecrow and crows (cut with the same die set) to the panel.

Lawn Fawn | Pumpkin House Hello

Hello! Fall is definitely in the air here in the Pacific Northwest. Right now, I am enthusiastic about the seasonal change. (This will change by the end of October!) Today, I am sharing a fall-themed card created with a combination of Lawn Fawn supplies.

I used the largest Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables die to cut a rectangle from Mermaid cardstock. For the grass, I cut a 2-inch tall Noble Fir cardstock strip with the same die. I glued the pieces together to create the background and added the panel to an A2-size card base.
I cut the Pumpkin House from a variety of cardstock colors and assembled it. With a die in the Build-A-House Spring Add-On, I cut the fence from Light Brown Woodgrain cardstock. I added the fence and house to the background.
I stamped and Copic-colored the Forest Feast food and critters-Squirrel (E31 and E34), Hedgehog (E50, E53, E23, E25), Raccoon (W0, W2, W4, W6)-and cut them with their coordinating dies.
I stamped the Hello Baby sentiment on to white cardstock and cut it with the medium cloud in the Spring Showers die set. I cut the smallest cloud with the same set.
I added the critters, sentiment cloud, and extra cloud to the scene.
