Spellbinders | Nature’s Hike Bouquet Card

“It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” — Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

Hello sweater weather! Step into the beauty of fall with the September Spellbinders Small Die of the Month – “Hiking Through the Meadows.” With this unique die set, craft a pair of hiking boots that hold a vibrant bouquet.

Color Specialty Cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide inks.
With the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month set, cut the boots, leaves, and flowers from the ink-colored cardstock; assemble as required. When assembling the boots, make sure that the top portion is open enough for the elements. Cut the “Yay Fall” sign with dies in the Large Die of the Month set. I shared a card created with the Large Die of the Month set in this post.

Autumn Gratitude | Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder

Hello! Today, I am sharing a fall-themed, envelope-shaped card created with products from the Spellbinders Envelope of Wonder Collection. I chose unconventional colors – teal and purple – for the autumn elements.

Recently, I shared three cards created with the Envelope of Wonder Collection on the Spellbinders blog. In that post, I discussed dealing with overwhelm when working with large die sets. For this card, I followed the same formula I discussed in the guest post: identify focal items, choose the colors for those items, choose the colors of the envelope based on those elements, and fill the envelope with secondary elements.

Spellbinders | Dancin’ Day of the Dead

Hello! I am delighted to share with you another card that encapsulates the spirit of music and tradition for Dia de los Muertos featuring the Spellbinders Dancin’ Day of the Dead Boy die set. For this card, I paired the skeleton mariachi guitar player with a die-cut frame, which adds additional depth and detail.

The Punch & Pierce Frame and Sentiments was a Large Die of the Month offering for April 2023. I go into detail on how to cut the frame on my post HERE. I shared another card with the Dancin’ Day of the Dead Boy die set HERE.
