Today I am featuring my projects from the new Winter Tales Collection from Spellbinders! These beautiful Christmas Die sets are well worth checking out! As always all the items used will be listed at the end of this post.
I just love the neat clean look of these cards and hope you do too! For the first card I decided to use an A2 base card with a red mat around the cartd. For the background I chose some green and white paper cut on the diagonal and leaving an approx. 1/8" around each side as a border, I attached them to the front of the card with the white portion at the top right of the card. Next I stamped this Christmas Sentiment with clear pigment ink and gold embossing powder.
For the ornament, I used the new Nordic Ornaments Die Set from this new collection. The background was cut from brushed gold cardstock and the front of the ornament was was cut from red. I then pieced a green and white piece into the matching sections on the front of the ornament. The topper was cut from brushed silver and the ornament was hung and ties with gold twine. I love how clean and neat this card turned out!
The second card was created using a cream colored A2 base card. I then added a mat of green cardstock leaving a cream border around the outside of the card. Then cut a strip of cream paper that was embossed with the Holiday Holiday Flourish embossing folder to place across the top of the card. Three different squares were cut using red, blue, and brushed gold cardstock. Then smaller squares were cut of the same colors, but placed on different larger squares. These were then popped up and adorned with different flowers from this set. Finally a s was chosen and heat embossed across the bottom of the card with gold embossing powder.
Finally for the last card, I started again with a white A2 Base card. Then added a mat of red cardstock and a background piece of gold polkadot paper. To this I added one of the Nordic Ornament Dies and decorated it the same as I did for the first card. The only difference is that I added a red twine bow instead of gold to this ornament. The I cut out the bird from green cardstock and adorned him with yellow, red, and white so that he matched the color scheme of this card. Then I cut the word "JOY from the Joy Flourish Doily set from brushed gold and attached it to the top front of the card. The bird is popped us using foam squares and is perched on the side of the ornament.
To be honest, at first, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this set, but after creating with it I love it. It creates such beautiful cards! I hope you will check out this collection too! I am sure there is something you will truly love and can't live without! The birds and the flowers from these sets can be used for other occasions as well which gives you more bang for your buck!
Be sure to stop back tomorrow when I will have more examples from this wonderful Spellbinders September release.
