Spellbinders | Celebrate the Season “Winter Welcome Sled”

Hello! I have more Christmas inspiration to share from the recent releases at Spellbinders with a card that showcases the adorable Winter Welcome Sled die set, part of the Celebrate the Season Collection.

Here’s how you can make this card:

Emboss a 4 x 5 1/4 inch Brushed Silver cardstock panel with the Stargazer folder. Add to textured, white, A2-size cardstock and attach to card base.
Cut sled from kraft and Brushed Silver cardstock; assemble. Decorate with ice skates, poinsettia, and foliage cut with dies in the Winter Welcome Sled and Parcel & Post Christmas Decorations sets; cut evergreen from Green Glitter Foam. Add sled assembly to card.
Foil Glitter Wishes sentiment in Silver on Snowdrift cardstock; cut with coordinating die and add to card.
To embellish, cut snowflakes with dies in the Holiday Decorations set from Snowdrift cardstock. Add to card.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 128 – Christmas in July

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card that I created for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 128 – Christmas in July. I enjoy house scenes and often create them. I particularly like the pairing of the large house with the small village border.

Create blue A2-size card base.
Stamp Simply Winter Sentiments sentiment on white cardstock and cut with the Little Town Border. Back house windows with yellow cardstock. Add to card base.
Cut house pieces with the Build-A-House and Christmas Add-On die sets. Add glitter glue to light pieces. Assemble when dry and add the decorated house to the card.
Embellish with snowflakes cut with dies in the Mini Snowflakes set.

CAS Reverse Confetti Holiday Card – Inspired by Starbucks Holiday Cups

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card created with Reverse Confetti products inspired by this year’s Starbucks holiday cups.

Image Source

I die-cut the Big Polkas Cover Panel from Polar White cardstock.
I cut circles in red, two shades of green, and light gray with a circle die, slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate.
I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
I heat-embossed the Sentimental Christmas sentiment (I particularly like the font on this set and thought it worked well with the whimsical feel of the card) on red cardstock.
I cut the sentiment with a circle die and matted it with a slightly larger white cardstock circle.

Cardstock: SU Mint Macaron, MFT Poppy Prestige, Reverse Confetti Polar White, SU Tranquil Tide, Taylored Expressions Sea Salt

Reverse Confetti – November Creative Hop

Today is the day! It’s the 2020 Reverse Confetti November Release Day! We’re celebrating with a hop! You should have arrived here from the blog of Jeanne Jachna. If not, you’ll want to start at the beginning which is the Release Confetti blog.

I am sharing two projects today: one holiday-themed and the other friendship-themed. On the first card, I’m showcasing the Deerly stamp set with coordinating dies.

I cut the background from Navy cardstock with the Center Frame Cover Panel.
I heat-embossed the Seasonal Say It All sentiment in white.
I added the Navy panel to a card base covered with patterned paper from the Sweet Stripes 6×6 Paper Pad.
I stamped, Copic-colored, and cut the deer, tree, and star garland images.
I added the images to the scene, popping the deer up with foam adhesive.

My friendship card features a Mixed Messages sentiment along with foliage from the Botanical stamp set with coordinating dies.

I created the background with the Cross Tiles Cover Panel die cut from yellow cardstock.
I stamped, colored, and cut the Botanical images.
I heat-embossed the Mixed Messages sentiment on purple cardstock.
I cut a Polar White cardstock circle and added it to the center of the background, added the sentiment strip with foam adhesive, and tucked the Botanical images under the strip.
