Final Card for New Release - For You!

This is the last card I have to show regarding Spellbinder's new release.  This particular collection is called Merry and Bright.  I decided to do a very sparkly, shiny example for this collection.  To see the entire collection, simply  Click Here.



I loaded this card full of sparkly and shine  using both glitter paper and shiny foil paper.  I started with a 5 x 7 inch white card base and added a frame of metallic foil paper.  Then I found this pretty silver and white printed paper in my stash.  The design on this paper is also foiled.  I then cut out the bow from silver glitter paper and the stripes were cut from mirrored silver  paper.  The shadows inside the loops were done with gray cardstock.  The senter section and tips of the bow were popped up using foam squares. 

I then cut out some greenery and several flowers from the Petite Blooms and sentiment die set and arranged them along one side of the bow.  The tag was also cut from the same die set and attached as shown.  As a final embellishment, I added yellow enamel dots to the poinsettia flower centers and red jewels to the yellow flower center and the card base also as shown.  

I decided to use the bow as a bow tie, rather than a traditional bow.  I think this gave it a different look.  I hope you like this example.  I know parts of it are hard to see, but it was difficult to photograph.

Oh Holy Night Religious Nativity Scene Christmas Card

 Welcome back!  Today I created a card using the new Simon Hurley Snow Globe Collection from Spellbinders.  If you love snow globes you will love this collection. I didn't create a snow globe, but more of a scene on this card.  To view the entire collection please
click here




To create this card, I started with a 5 x7 inch card base  in white.  I then took a piece of plain white cardstock and cut out an Essential Stylish Oval from the cener.  The cut out piece was then embossed using the Geo Quilt 3D embossing folder.  and popped up on the card front using foam squares.  The cutout shape I saved and used it to create the scene.

I inked the cutout using blue ink from my stash.  I then cut out, arranged, and glued down  the center scene. I then glued the whole scene piece into the center of the embossed piece.   After it was cut out and assembled, I popped up the sentiment using foam squares.  It was first cut out with dark blue cardstock and then overlayed with white so that the lettering would show thru.  

I hope you like this card.  It shows that you can use the scenic pieces from the collection even without the snow globe!  And, there are several scenes you can choose from.  Be sure to stop back tomorrow when I will be sharing my last card from this new release from Spellbinders!

Day Two of New Release - Have a Cool Yule Christmas Shaker Card.

 Today I am showing off another card from the Spellbinders new releases for October 2023.  This card features the Cool FransFormer Collection from Stampendous.



I started with an A2 card base and added a piece of lightly printed Christmas paper which I cut an oval in for the shaker window using the Essential Stylish ovals.  I then stamped the image from the Snowy Penguin FransFormer stamp set and colored them using my copic markers.  I cut them out and arranged them as seen in the photo.  I used a blue background paper and some white gliter paper for the snow.  I placed the larger penquin inside the shaker and added some clear gems and snowflake bits for the shaker elements.

The packages, Stocking, and smaller penquin were also colored and cut out.  I then arranged them on the front of the card.  I stamped the sentiment with black ink and glued it to the top of the card.

This collection fomes with penquins, snowmen, and birds which allow you to create many different cards!  To see the entire collection, just click here.

Be sure to check back as I have two more collections to show off and you won't want to miss them!

Release Day! New "GREETINGS" Card

 Hi!  Welcome Back!  Today is release day over at Spellbinders and I have several new releases to share with you.  The first collection I want to share with you is the Serenade of Autumn.  It is just in time for all your fun fall/autumn card making!  To check out all the new releases, simply click here.  To see all that is included in this Serenade of Autumn Collection, simply click here.  Here is my creation using only two items from this collection.  


To create this card, I started with an A2 white card base.  I found some pretty green paper and using the 3D embossing folder, embossed it and added it to the card front.  Then using the Sunflower Serenade die, I cut out three of the sunflowers and leaves and attached them to the front of the card on top of the embossed piece.  For the sentiment, I chose an older set, the Open House Boo die set.  It was cut from black cardstock and attached to the lower front bottom of the card.  As a final touch, I added some yellow enamel dots that I had in my stash to finish off this card.  

I hope you like it!  Please check over the new releases, I am sure you will find a lot of things that will tickle your fancy!
