Spellbinders | Color Block Valentine

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, color block Valentine created with Spellbinders supplies including a sentiment from the Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula.

Repetition is one of my favorite design principles: I cut sixteen one-inch squares and sixteen hearts from five colors to make a four-inch square.

Cut colored cardstock with Nestabilities Essential Squares die. Tape squares together on the back.
Cut hearts using the heart die in the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set. (There are three hearts on one die; I used the middle one.) Add hearts to squares with foam adhesive.
Glimmer foil sentiment with Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments plate in Opaque Black on a Snowdrift panel.
Trim panel, add to A2-size card base, add heart assembly.

Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day 7

Hello! Today I am sharing card created with the surprise for Day Seven in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders. Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

Day Seven was a three-piece stencil set with which I made a Christmas card. I used the same design as the one for Day Three.

I applied Slippery When Wet, Later Gator, and Bee Sting Lunar Paste through the stencils to Snowdrift cardstock, allowing dry time between the three applications.
Once the panel was dry, I cut with the tree die in the Blooming Tree set.
I glimmer-foiled in Gold the Mini Christmas Sentiments sentiment on a dark-red cardstock panel.
I cut the foiled panel with the largest Essential Arches die.
I adhered the arch panel to a Snowdrift cardstock A2-size base.
I embellished the tree with a star cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Holiday Decorations set and the panel with Gold Mix Gems.

Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day Three

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with the Day Three surprise in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders– a wavy die (another die, which I did not use, was also included). Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

I glimmer-foiled in Gold the Glimmer Wishes sentiment on a Pomegranate panel.
I cut the panel with the largest Essential Arches die. I then cut the panel with the tree die in the Blooming Tree set.
I used the advent calendar die to cut the wavy piece from Brushed Gold for nine strips. I adhered the stripes to a Fern cardstock panel.
I trimmed the Fern panel, adhered the arch panel on top, and added the assembly to an off-white card base. I embellished the tree with a star cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Holiday Decorations set.

Spellbinders | Advent Calendar Day Two

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS friendship card created with the Day Two surprise in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders– a stamp set with flowers and a sentiment. Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

I created a card background from Lilac Blossom cardstock dry-embossed with the Puff Dotty folder.
I stamped the floral images and sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock, trimmed it with a die in the Essential Rectangles set.
