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!

Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop and happy 9th birthday, PPP! Today, I’m sharing a birthday card and a gift card holder that I made using dies and stencils from the new Birthday Release. For my card, I started with an A2-sized white cardstock that I ink blended with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide Ink. I sprayed some water for an oxidized effect and also splattered some white ink on it. I then took a scrap of white cardstock and used finger daubers to ink blend Distress Oxide Inks in rainbow colors. I used Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Lucky Clover, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet. I sprayed water, splattered white ink, and cut the rainbow colored panel with the WISH die. I also cut the flame from the Birthday Mug Addition Dies and ink blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. Next, I stamped the sentiments with black ink then foam mounted WISH and the flame on the card panel. I also added some pearls for inter

Pretty Pink Posh March 2023 Release Blog Hop

Hello friends! Welcome to the Pretty Pink Posh February 2023 Release Blog Hop! For my card, I started with a 4.5” square white cardstock and I ink blended through the Layered Carrots Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. Layer A: Dried Marigold Layer B: Spiced Marmalade Layer C: Twisted Citron I then matted this stenciled panel on a 5” square cardstock that I ink blended with Spiced Marmalade. For added interest, I sprayed this larger panel with water that has a bit of white ink. Next, I cut the dies from the Winter Mug Dies and the new Easter Mug Additions Dies in white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers and Distress Oxide Inks. The blue bunny mug also got a print from the Mini Grid Stencil . Before foam mounting the mug, I placed a sheet of vellum to soften the carrot background and I also stamped the sentiment onto the vellum with Stazon ink. Here are the Copic markers I used for the mini eggs: BG70, R00, V000, Y11, YG61, YR000 I embellished the card with Pi
