Seasons Greetings Christmas Card from Home for the Holidays Collection.

 Here is today's card  in which I used The new St. Nick die from the Home for the Holidays Collection.  It made for a super Christmas card!  Santa is holding a Christmas tree and lantern against a snowy winter background.

This card is slightly larger than I normally make them.  I started with a 5 x 7 white card base.  I then cut a piece of dark blue using the Postage Edge Rectangles, and then it was embossed with the July-24 Embossing Folder - Hexi Snowflake.  I then cut two trees, and Santa and lantern along with several snowflakes from the St Nick die set from the Home for the Holidays Collection.   The snow on the ground was hand cut using white glitter paper.  I assembled the Santa, trees, and lantern and attached them to the front of my card.  The snowflakes were added next to give it a snowy feeling.  Finally the sentiment was glimmered using the darkk gold foil from the Glimmer Metallic Foil Variety pack.  

I relly like how this card turned out.  I hope you do to!  To see all the new releases from Spellbinders for this month, just click here.

Making Spirits Bright with Emerald Cut Labels - Home for the Holidays Collection

 Today I am showing off the second of three cards I made using some of the items from the Home for the Holidays Collection from Spellbinders.  I really loved how easy and pretty this card turned out.  I hope you will stop back tomorrow when I will be showing yet another card from this collection.

I started out with an A2 white base card and used it horizontally.  I also used printed Christmas paper and brushed gold paper.  I alternated them as shown and used the Emerald Cut Labels and Tags from the Home for the Holidays collection to create the decorative background.  I alternated the printed paper and the gold cardstock.   I then glimmered the sentiment from the Elegant Holiday Sentiments and used the dark gold foil from the glimmer foil variety pack onto white paper and used one of the dies from the set.   If you want to add to your card, simply add some of the printed paper to the back of your envelope flap. I love doing that and it makes the envelope and card match which looks so professional.

I love this card and how it turned out.  It was a very simple, but pretty Christmas card. I hope you will give it a try!  To check out all the new releases from Spellbinders simply click here.

New Home for the Holidays collection!

 Today is July 10th and Spellbinders is releasing it's new releases!  Today and the next couple days I will be featuring sets from the Home for the Holidays collection.  Be sure to stop back to see the other examples I have to show off. Today I will be featuring the Poinsettia Spray die set.  It is a beautiful Christmas set that can be used in so many ways.  

To create this really pretty Christmas card, I started with a white A2 card base.  To this I added a piece of Christmas paper from my stash which I cut using the Fresh Picked Labels and tags.  I then cut a smaller piece of the white cardstock using the same die and placed it atop the printed paper.  They were then glued to the card base in the front center.  Next I cut out the flowers by using The Poinsettia Spray, which is part of the Home for the Holidays collection.  It was cut and assembled and glued to the white inner section.  

Finally for the sentiment I hot foiled "Merry Christmas" from the Comfort & Joy Glimmer sentiments, die cut it and placed it popped up with foam squares along the bottom of the card.

I think this made a beautiful Christmas card!  I hope you like it and will give it a try for yourself. You can use the flowers and holly alone or create the spray as shown.  Let your imagination run free!  To see all the new releases at Spellbinders, simply click here.  There are three pages worth!

Second Birthday Card Using Old and New Products

 Today I decided to make another birthday card.  I love making birthday cards, and that is what I get asked for the most.  This uses two of the new die sets and one older set.  It was really fun to make and I love how it turned out!

To create this card, I started with an A2 card base.  I then added a mat of soft seafoam green.  Then I gold foiled a piece of white paper using the Essential Duo Line Glimmer Ovals which is an older set using gold foil. (If you do not have this set, simply use whatever you have, or just omit the  oval all together.)  I cut it slightly larger that the oval and placed it on the card so that the top had a larger border.     Then I created my watering can by cutting some brushed silver because I wanted it to look like an old time watering can.  I assembled it and cut numerous flowers and greenery from several different colors of cardstock.  They were then arranged and glued into the watering can.  It was then glued to the front of the card.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy Birthday Wishes die set and cut the background of the words using mirror gold cardstock to match the glimmer oval.  Then I cut out the letters from white cardstock and arranged and glued them to the mirrored gold pieces.  They were then glued to the front of the card. 

I hope you enjoyed this card, and will try it for yourself!
