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 One

Hello and happy December! Today I am sharing a Christmas card created with the Day One surprise in the Crafty Advent Calendar from Spellbinders– a mailbox die, sentiment, and envelope. Follow along on the Spellbinders blog for daily inspiration.

I paired the die-cut mailbox with a glimmer-foiled sentiment from the Glitter Wishes set to create a Christmas card. I found patterned paper in my stash to cover the card base.

Spellbinders | November 2022 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy November! Today, I am sharing a slimline holiday card created with the Spellbinders November 2022 Large Die of the Month “Stylized Floral Kaleidoscope Slimline.” I used the kaleidoscope flowers for a winter-themed card.

The Large Die of the Month set also includes a birthday sentiment and leaf dies.

With the Large Die of the Month, I cut the card elements from Brushed Silver, Snowdrift, and several shades of blue. I used a die to cut a circle from navy cardstock which I placed behind the floral kaleidoscope pieces.
I added the assembly to a white-textured, slimline card base.
I foiled a sentiment in Silver on Snowdrift with the Glitter Wishes set and cut it with the coordinating die.
I embellished with snowflakes cut from white glitter foam with the Chill Bear, Holiday Decorations, and Let it Snowman sets.
