Spellbinders | Holiday Cheer Enclosed

Hello! I am a guest on the Spellbinders blog with three projects featuring the Special Pet Delivery die set, part of the Holiday Cheer Enclosed Collection. Your cat- and dog-loving friends will be delighted to receive projects featuring these cute pets! For the blog post, I created a winter holiday card, a mini-slimline card, and gift tags, with products from the collection. I would love for you to head over and leave a comment.

Spellbinders | Christmas Flourish All Hearts Come Home

Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card created with the All Hearts Come Home die set from the Spellbinders Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. See all of the new arrivals here. Everything you need to make a holiday greeting is included in the All Hearts Come Home die set – frame, focal image, and sentiment.

I created a 5″ x 7″ Brushed Silver base to which I added a slightly smaller piece of Cosmic Sky cardstock. The All Hearts Come Home die set can also be used to create an A2-size card.
I cut the All Hearts Come Home die set frame from Snowdrift cardstock. I inlaid the tree and packages with Fern, Pomegranate, Timber, and Beeswax cardstock.
I cut the house from cardstock and backed it with Snowdrift cardstock.
I cut a snowbank with a die in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and taped it to the back of the frame section. I added the assembly to the card background and added the sentiment cut from Pomegranate and Snowdrift cardstock.

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.)

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, …!

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.
