Spellbinders | Christmas Retro Television

Hello! I am delighted to share a Christmas card created with the Retro Television, part of the 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken at Spellbinders. I shared a 3D project with this set in this blog post. This time I am using the television as a focal point on a holiday card without creating a 3D project.

Dry-emboss a 5 x 7 inches Pomegranate cardstock panel with the Puff Dotty folder.
Print television image (sized for the tv). I used a photo of Santa in a local parade.
Cut Retro Television from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble, using the Santa photo as the screen. Note: I simplified the front panel and left off the smallest knobs.
Glimmer foil Joyful Sentiments in Red on Snowdrift cardstock; cut with coordinating die.
Add television, sentiment, and snowflakes, cut with dies in the Chill Bear, Let It Snowman, and Holiday Decorations sets, to the card base.

Spellbinders | Let It Snowman Trio

Hello! Today I am sharing a trio of winter-themed cards suitable for Christmas and/or winter birthdays created with the Let It Snowman die set from the Spellbinders Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken and the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D Embossing Folder. Everything you need to make a card is included in the Let It Snowman set – frame, focal image, and two sentiment options. I previously shared a card created with the set in this post. Scroll for info on a Spellbinders Scary Good Sale.

Spellbinders | Tiered Tray for Christmas

Hello! I am delighted to share a holiday card created with products from the on-trend Tiered Tray Collection by Becky Roberts at Spellbinders.

As I previously mentioned in this post, decorating the two-dimensional tray is like decorating a real tiered tray – add anchor pieces on the shelves on opposite sides for balance, add smaller pieces to create symmetry, fill empty spots, and add sprigs of greenery.

Glimmer foil Joyful Christmas Sentiments in red foil on Snowdrift cardstock.
Dry-emboss Cosmic Sky cardstock with the Flurry of Snowflakes 3D folder, trim to A2-size, and add to card base.
Cut Tiered Tray from Brushed Silver cardstock and add distress ink to add dimension. Cut top of tray from Onyx cardstock. Assemble.
Cut Tiered Tray Décor pieces from Snowdrift, Onyx, and colored cardstock, shade with ink, and assemble as required. I used a chalk pencil to color in the stripes on the gnome’s hat. Add décor to tray.
Add decorated tray assembly to dry-embossed background. Adhere sentiment with foam adhesive. Embellish with snowflakes cut with dies in the Holiday Decorations and Chill Bear sets.

Lawn Fawn | Halloween Haunted Barn

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Halloween scene featuring a combination of Lawn Fawn products.

I used the Stitched Cloud Backdrop to cut the background from light purple cardstock and attached it to an A2-size card base.
