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!

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.

3D Paper Christmas Trees - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh October Release Blog Hop!!! Hello crafty friends! I have made the cutest 3D paper Christmas trees using the Pine Trees dies and I'm very excited to share some tips and tricks for making these trees. The Pine Trees include 3 different sizes and I was able to cut 4 of each from an 8.5" x 11" cardstock. The work is tedious, but the end result makes it all worthwhile. Just enjoy the process ;) Once all the pieces are cut, simply score in half and glue one side to the other. The more trees you add, the fluffier it gets. Here is my first tip: use a binder clip to keep the trees in place while the glue dries. I used 10 trees each for these pink ones: I cut some snowflakes from the Winter Mug dies and used them as tree toppers. How about some pretty, pink, posh ghosts? (You like what I did there? Hehe) The ghost die cut is also included in the Winter Mug dies. You can add a little bit of glue or just tuck it in-between the pages of the ...

September Release Blog Hop - Pretty Pink Posh

Hello everyone and welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh September Release Blog Hop! Today, I have a square-shaped Autumn card to share with you all. For this card, I used the new Fall Corners Stamp Set . Let's get started! I first cut a 4.5" square in kraft cardstock and ink blended the bottom with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink. I then cut a 4"square in white cardstock and ink blended it with Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender Distress Oxide Inks. I sprayed some water for an oxidized effect and added dots using a white gel pen and Copic E44 marker. I adhered the smaller panel onto the larger one. To soften the background, I cut a 4" square in vellum . The beautiful pumpkin images from the Fall Corners Stamp Set are stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa Ink on 110lb white cardstock and colored with Copic markers. Pumpkins: E77/74/71/70, V12 W5/3/1 Y28/26/23/21 Leaves : E44/43/41 G99/46/43 W3/1/0, 00 Stems: E49/47 I cut the images with their coordinating dies ...
