Spellbinders | Hearts and Mugs

Hello! Today I am sharing a birthday card created with small die-cuts, cut with Spellbinders dies. The card uses one of my favorite design principles – repetition. The same design could easily be used for a friendship card or Valentine.

Glimmer foil the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments sentiment in Gold on a Snowdrift cardstock panel. Trim as necessary and add to A2-size card base.
With Tiered Tray Décor die, cut mugs from navy, Pink Sand, green, Snowdrift, and Raindrop cardstock.
With heart die in the Parcel & Post Heart Decorations set, cut hearts from navy, Pink Sand, green, Snowdrift, and Raindrop cardstock.
Adhere hearts to mugs. Add mugs to card panel with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | CAS Anemone Blooms

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS friendship card to showcase products in the Spellbinders Anemone Blooms Collection designed by Yana Smakula. I previously shared a card using products from the collection here.

Cut Anemones from Phone Booth cardstock. Tape bloom pieces from the back. (I found that if I only made one pass with the cutting machine and carefully removed the die-cut, I was able to keep the bloom pieces in the frame.)
Cut center pieces from Onyx cardstock with the Anemones die. Insert centers into floral clusters.
Cut outline of Anemones from Snowdrift cardstock and adhere to floral piece.
Glimmer foil sentiment with plate in the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments set in Opaque Black on a Sea Glass cardstock panel. The messages in the set work on both the front and inside of cards. Trim panel to 4 inches x 5 1/4 inches.
Add assembled anemones to panel and embellish with Silver Mix Gems.

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.
