Spellbinders - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Yay for Autumn

Hello! Today, I am sharing another fall-/Halloween-themed card featuring the Spellbinders September Large Die of the Month set – “Boo-licious Fall Cupcake.” I previously shared a card created with this die set HERE. For this take, I created a background of pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns, cut with dies in the set, and a focal image of a ghost in a witch’s hat.

Dry-emboss a 5″ x 7″ Snowdrift cardstock panel with the It’s My Party Too folder and add to a card base.
With the Large Die of the Month set, cut the pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns from Teal Topaz, Rainforest, Purple Mist, Royal Amethyst, and Persimmon cardstock. Assemble as necessary and add to card base with foam adhesive.
Cut the ghost, witch’s hat, band, and sign from Snowdrift, Onyx, and Rainforest cardstock. Assemble and add to an oval cut with a die in the Essential Stylish Ovals set from vellum. Add foam adhesive to back of assembly and adhere to card front.
Embellish with white dots in the Dimensional Black & White Enamel Dots set.

Spellbinders | Deco Holiday Embossing

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS, holiday card showcasing the Spellbinders Deco Holiday embossing folder, used to dry-emboss a pattern of squares and paired with a glimmer-foiled sentiment.

Using the 1″ die in the Everlasting Squares set, I cut twenty cardstock squares of purple, teals, and blues. I arranged the squares and taped them together on the back before dry embossing with the Deco Holiday folder. I added the panel to a Snowdrift cardstock base measuring 4 1/4″ x 5 1/4″.
Using one of the sentiments in the Christmas Mailbox Greetings set, I glimmer foiled Snowdrift cardstock in silver. I cut the sentiment with the 2″ die in the Everlasting Circles set and attached it to a circle cut from vellum with the 2 1/4″ die.
I attached the sentiment circle to the card center with foam adhesive and embellished with snowflakes cut with the Holiday Decorations set from white foam glitter.
