Joyous Blessings - Spellbinders

Hello friends! Can you believe it's already the middle of the year? I used to think July was way too early for Christmas cards, but one time, whoosh! November came out of nowhere, and I was rushing to make those cards. Lesson learned – now I start early, right after my favorite companies release their holiday stuff. Lucky me, this year Spellbinders asked me to whip up some cards for their Holiday catalog.

Today, I'm sharing this super cool square-shaped card I made with the new Christmas Bird Poinsettia Etched Dies. These dies are a blast and perfect for making Christmas cards. There are 13 thin metal cutting dies in the set, and they create this adorable bird sitting on top of a Poinsettia and candy cane bouquet. Use them together or separately to add some holiday charm!

I'm totally hooked on using Spellbinders cardstock, and here's everything I used:

Blues: Cosmic Sky, Glacier, Raindrop Gold: Brushed Gold Greens: Fern, Peridot, Rainforest Pink: Pink Sand Reds: Pomegranate, Wild Berry, Red Glitter

For the card panels, I went with these awesome dies:

Fluted Classics Squares Postage Edge Squares

Now, get ready to feel inspired! Grab these awesome dies and start creating your own Christmas cards. Beat the holiday rush with this fantastic new product from Spellbinders. Happy crafting, everyone!

October Release 2023 Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started out with a light blue cardstock that measures 4.5 inches square. I stenciled through the Winter Words with Finnabair Snowflake Paste for a fun background. I then made a mug shaker using the Winter Mug Dies and the cutout to make a window for the shaker is from the Birthday Mug Additions Dies. The shaker bits are from the Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . I used various colors of cardstock from Spellbinders for my card. I added a cute little bird from the Holiday Birds Dies and a couple gifts using the rectangle pieces from the Build A Stocking Dies. The rest of the die cuts are from the new Holiday Mug Additions Dies. Then I added some pink dots on the greenery with Liquid Pearls in Ballerina. Lastly, I glued the card panel onto a 4.5-inch square card base. Make sure to check out the rest of the Hop for more inspiration using the new products from Pretty Pink Posh! There ar...

Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and Gerda Steiner Designs Collaboration Blog Hop! Design Team members from both companies are sharing inspiration using products from both companies! For this fun collaboration, I made a slimline birthday card. To begin, I stamped, colored, and cut images from Gerda Steiner Designs - On the Table , On the Bookshelf and the new Heffy Doodle Popping By stamp set. I then cut the largest rectangle from the Heffy Doodle Stitched Slimline Trio Dies in white cardstock. For my table, I used the Ain't So Plaid Stencil and inked with Mustard Seed and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxides. The top portion is ink blended with Tattered Rose and I splattered some black and rose gold acrylic paint for interest. I then white heat embossed the happy birthday sentiment onto a strip of black cardstock. Next, I adhered the elements down onto the card. Lastly, I adhered my panel onto a slimline card base.

Merriest Christmas Wishes - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello friends. I'm here to show you a super easy Christmas shaker card made possible by the new Pretty Pink Posh Tree Cover Plate . I get really excited when I can whip up a card in just a few minutes. Let's get started! First, I cut the Tree Cover Plate from light pink cardstock and glued a sheet of clear acetate on the back. I added foam tape all around the edges and in the spaces between the trees. Then, I sprinkled in some Christmas Cookie Shaker Beads . After that, I peeled off the backing of the foam tape and glued on a patterned paper that's A2-sized. For the words, I used white heat embossed with a saying from the Sentiment Strips: Christmas Stamp Set on red cardstock. Then, I cut it out with a die from the Sentiment Strip Dies and gave it some extra pop by mounting it with foam. To make things extra special, I added Metallic Gold Pearls here and there for a touch of sparkle. I'm just thrilled with how quickly this card came together. I hope it gets your cre...
