Winter Wishes

I finally received my Spellbinders Small Die of the Month November 2020 die cut set and could not wait to use it to create some winter cards. I also recently purchased the Sizzix 3-D Jeweled Snowflakes embossing folder and wanted to pair this with the die set. 
To begin, I cut a card panel out of white cardstock. I inked the smooth side of the embossing folder with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I lightly sprayed the embossing folder and the paper with a small amount of water and ran it through my Big Shot machine. Next, I cut two hillsides using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border die set. Using a blending brush, I inked the top edges of the hillsides with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink. I adhered the hillsides to the bottom of the card panel, popping up the top hillside with foam tape. I splattered the entire card panel and snowbanks with a mixture of Perfect Pearls and water.  
The tree limbs were cut from a piece of white cardstock that I brayered with Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Inks.  I cut the tree trunk from light brown cardstock and glued the tree limbs to the tree trunk. A small strip of foam tape was placed behind the tree trunk and adhered behind one of the stitched hillsides. I assembled the snowman and added a few striped details to its scarf and gloves using a gray fine felt tip marker. I stamped the sentiment “Winter Wishes” with VersaMark ink and embossed it with silver embossing powder. I mounted the sentiment on light pink cardstock and glued it to the card panel. The card panel was adhered to a white card base.
The second card was made in a similar manner except I inked the 3-D embossing folder with Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Ink to emboss the white background panel. I inked the edge of the hillside border with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and brushed Wink of Stella over the edge of the hillside and on the snowflakes of the background panel.  The snowman was assembled and glued to the bottom of the hillside. I punched out several small snowflakes out of silver foil cardstock and scattered them around the scene.  I added a small rhinestone to the center of each snowflake.

Ready Player One

Today's card is a fun virtual reality birthday card created in Cricut Design Space and features a vibrant title backed by an alcohol inked panel. A couple of years ago, my son and I read the book Ready Player One,  a science fiction book about humanity's use of virtual reality to escape the real world. Fast forward a few years and now he wants his own virtual reality headset for his birthday.  I created this card for him to celebrate our love for this book and to serve as a precursor of the birthday gift that was to come. While creating this card, I wore the movie T-Shirt I bought last year so I could mimic the movie title font and colors.  I needed an easy way to make the title out of rainbow colors so I placed a few colors of alcohol ink on a felt pad and swiped it across Yupo Paper.  I downloaded and installed the font used for the movie title and cut the title out of a black A2 card panel using Cricut Design Space.  I backed the black card panel with th...

Glimmer Hot Foil Birthday Cards

Today's cards are part of my stash-busting series.  This is where I look around my craft room and grab a bunch of supplies that I haven't yet had the chance to use.  The results yielded two glimmer hot foiled birthday cards. I used the smooshing technique to apply Mustard Seed and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide inks onto white card panels.  After the panels were dry, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System along with the Scattered Flowers and Diamonetta Background Glimmer plates to add Aura Glimmer Hot foil to the card panels.   The card panels were mounted onto pink cardstock.  I used the same Aura foil to glimmer the Happy Birthday sentiment onto white cardstock.   I cut the sentiment using a Momenta nesting border die.  I used a slightly larger border die to cut a sentiment border from the pink cardstock.  I cut pink and yellow flowers using the Sizzix Spring Things die set.  I ran the flowers and sentiment border through t...

Spellbinders Club Kit Valentine's Day Cards

Today's cards feature the Spellbinders January Small Die of the Month and the Glimmer Hot Foil Club Kits.  I couldn't wait to combine these two kits to create some Valentine cards. I used the dies from the Small Die of the Month kit to cut several pieces from pink and white cardstock as well as red and gold foil cardstock.  I used the Glimmer Hot Foil sentiment glimmer plates to glimmer several sentiments in red and gold foil onto white cardstock.  For each card, I glued the decorative frame to a white card base.  I added the smaller die cut panel to the decorative frame. For the shaker cards, I die cut the large frame out of white cardstock and trimmed off the decorative edges.  I adhered one of the smaller foil die-cut panels to this piece.  I trimmed down the edges some more leaving a small border around the inner panel.  I used the included heart die-cut to cut out a heart from the center of this white cardstock panel just inside the heart that was...
