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 | 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.

Spellbinders | Simon Hurley Joyful Christmas

Hello! I am delighted to share two Christmas cards created with products from the Joyful Christmas Collection at Spellbinders.

Let’s start with the Floral Stag die set paired with the Joyful Christmas Sentiments set.

Cover A2 card base with patterned paper.
Add oval cut from vellum to center.

Add Floral Stag pieces and sentiment to card front, popping up some with foam adhesive.

My next card showcases the Candy Stripes cover plate, which fits an A2-size card front, paired with the Joyful Christmas Sentiments set.

With Candy Stripes die set, cut Mirror Gold and Snowdrift cardstock. Adhere to silver foil cardstock A2-size panel and add to card base.

Spellbinders | October 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS holiday card featuring the Spellbinders October 2022 Embossing Folder “Scattered Christmas.” I previously shared a 3D Christmas project created with the embossing folder and the Large Die of the Month “Stitched Ornament & Display.”

Glimmer foil Glitter Wishes sentiment in Gold on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with coordinating die.
With Essential Diamonds dies, cut diamonds from Snowdrift, Mirror Gold, and Onyx cardstock. Add diamonds to dry-embossed background.

Spellbinders | Winter Tales Nordic Ornaments

Hello! I am delighted to share a winter-themed CAS card showcasing the Nordic Ornaments die set, part of the Spellbinders Winter Tales Collection by Zsoka Marko, inspired by Norwegian folk art. I shared a card with a different die from the collection here. See all of the September 2022 Spellbinders arrivals here.

I glimmer-foiled the Glitter Wishes sentiment in silver on Snowdrift cardstock and cut it the panel with the largest die in the Essential Rectangles set.
I added the sentiment panel to a Brushed Silver A2-size card base.
I cut the Nordic Ornaments pieces from Pomegranate, Glacier, Cosmic Sky, Brushed Silver, and Snowdrift. I used the inlay technique to add some of the pieces to the ornament. I backed the area behind the small hearts with Pomegranate cardstock.
I placed Poppy Pearl Dots in the centers of the flowers, added a silver twine bow to the top, and secured the assembled ornament to the card base with foam adhesive.
