Thank You Card - Spellbinders May 2022 Stitched For You, Bold Blooms
Hello there, Michelle Short here and I am delighted to be back on the Spellbinders blog today sharing three projects using Simon Hurley Let It Snow Collection. This wonderful collection features lots of dies that are perfect for winter, Christmas and the holidays. My three projects all feature snowflakes used in different ways. MERRY CHRISTMAS PENGUIN For my first card, I am using the beautiful Frozen Flurries die (which can be used in so many different ways!) as well as Playful Penguins. To make this card: Emboss/deboss Frozen Flurries Etched Dies (without the outside frame) onto a panel of white cardstock using Platinum Six. Add ink blending to panel using Blending Brushes and Distress Inks (Mermaid Lagoon, Prize Ribbon, and Seedless Preserves). Die cut Color Block Scenic Scape from white cardstock and adhere to the bottom of the panel. TIP: When embossing/debossing dies, I like to use the following sandwich (bottom to top) – Platform Base, Platform Top, Embossing Mat E, cardstock, die facing down, Adapter Plate D. This seems to work well for me and I always get a lovely impression. Die Cut Playful Penguin from Onyx, Snowdrift, Persimmon, Pink Sand, Lilac Blossom, and Peridot Cut the fluffy bits of the hat from white glitter cardstock. Adhere together using Bearly Art Glue. Die cut panel of white cardstock using Essential Arches Etched Dies. Adhere background panel to A2 sized white card base and added arch panel on top with foam tape. Stamp sentiment from Gnome Drive Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Onyx Cardstock using Clear Embossing & Watermark Ink. Apply white embossing powder and heat set. Cut into two strips. Adhere sentiments and penguin to card with foam tape. To finish, add a Prism AB Color Essentials Gem to the center of the bow. REINDEER PENGUIN TAG For my next project, I created a tag using Layering Snowflakes and another of the adorable penguins. To make this tag: Die cut the largest of the Layering Snowflakes Etched Dies from white cardstock, cutting each layer twice. Adhere one on top of each other for added dimension. With the base/shadow layer, adhere them back-to-back to create a nice place to write a personal message on the back. Punch hole through the top. Thread twine through and tie in a bow at the front. Die-cut Playful Penguin from Onyx, Snowdrift, Pink Sand, Persimmon, Poppy Field and Dune Adhere together using Bearly Art Glue. Adhere penguin to tag using thin foam tape. Add Christmas Red Stickles to nose. SNOWFLAKE FLURRIES For my last project, I used the Frozen Flurries Etched Dies again, but this time in a different way. To make this card: For the background, spray Mermaid Lagoon and Wilted Violet Distress Spray onto a panel of Watercolor Cardstock. Spray with water to blend colors and heat set. Spray Wilted Violet Distress Spritz on top and set aside to dry. Repeat the process on a separate piece of watercolor cardstock. Die cut Frozen Flurries Etched Dies (both dies) from white cardstock. Remove snowflakes from panel (and save for a future project!). Adhere background to A2 sized white card base and adhere snowflake panel on top with thin foam tape. Die-cut shadow pieces of ‘merry’ and ‘Christmas’, from Handwritten Holiday Sentiments Etched Dies, each twice from white cardstock. Adhere together with Bearly Art Glue. Die cut the word dies from the extra background piece. Adhere to shadow pieces and then onto card with thin foam tape. To finish, embellish with Spectrum AB Color Essentials Gems. This is such a fun collection and I adore those penguins! There is another in the set that I didn’t use today but I will be sure to create with him soon! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello, everyone. Lisa here, from LisaMensing.com, with you today. I’m so excited to be back sharing inspiration here on the Spellbinders Blog with you and even more excited by the fact that it’s all about the Fall Traditions Collection. Fall is my favorite time of the year. It ushers in so many beautiful memories from my childhood, Halloween and Thanksgiving to name a few. I’m so blessed to be here today, sharing a few of these projects with you. Thank you for having me. The Happy Turkey Day is easy to assemble and so cute. I like that I could change the look of this card by simply changing the cardstock colors. Die-cut white cardstock using the largest Essential Rectangle Etched Die Using Citrine Glimmer Foil, foil the white cardstock using the Skinny Striped Glimmer Plate Glue panel to an A2 kraft card base Die-cut Happy Turkey Day using avalanche white, kraft, orange, red, chartreuse, chocolate, black, and Mirror Gold Cardstock Assemble using glue, center over Citrine Skinny Striped card panel Die-cut thankful sentiment from the Grateful Sentiment Steps Etched Die Set, back with Mirror Gold cardstock Add mounting foam to the back of the sentiment, adhere to the card Add Fashion Gold Embellishments to finish the card Other Supplies Kraft cardstock, Scrapbook.com Double-sided Adhesive Foam Rounds – large and small When you need a quick and simple card, an embossing folder can be your best friend. The new Falling Leaves Embossing Folder creates a perfect background for the Mini Fall Blooms on a Rings Around the Circle Etched Die. Using the Falling Leaves Embossing Folder, emboss a piece of heavyweight cardstock. TIP – spritz the cardstock with isopropyl alcohol before running it through your Spellbinders Platinum machine. It helps to eliminate cracking and or tearing of the cardstock, and alcohol dries quicker than water. Glue the embossed panel to an A2 card base Die-cut the Rings Around the Circle Die from white cardstock Die-cut the Mini Fall Blooms using kraft, orange, red, chartreuse, chocolate, black and slate cardstock; arrange on the die-cut Rings Around the Circle cardstock using glue and mounting foam dots Glue or use mounting foam to adhere the circle to the card base Die-cut the Blessed sentiment from the Grateful Sentiment Steps Etched Die Set and back with white cardstock; adding mounting foam strips to the back and adhere to card Add Fashion Gold Embellishments to finish the card Other supplies Neenah Avalanche White cardstock #110, Chartreuse, Kraft, Red, Orange, Slate, Dark Brown cardstock, Double-sided Adhesive Foam Rounds – small, Double-sided Adhesive Foam Strips, Isopropyl Alcohol I’m super excited about the Charming Pumpkins Stamp Set. I love solid stamp images and its pumpkins; nothing else needs to be said. Stamp the largest solid pumpkin in the middle of a 4” x 5.25” piece of white cardstock using orange ink, create a mask of the same pumpkin by stamping onto masking paper or post-it paper, fussy cut the masking paper, and place over the stamped pumpkin on the card panel Stamp the smaller solid pumpkin on both sides of the masked off pumpkin using a red and green ink Using the Illustrative Floral Glimmer Plate, foil the stamped panel with Citrine Glimmer Foil Round corners of the panel with a corner punch Glue the panel to a chocolate A2 card base Stamp the Fall Blessings sentiment onto a white cardstock strip, add mounting foam to the back of the strip, and center beneath stamped pumpkins Add a few die-cut leaves and acorns from the Mini Fall Blooms Etched Die Set Add Fashion Gold Embellishments to finish the card Other supplies Orange, Red, Green Dye inks, Neenah Avalanche White #110 Cardstock, Dark Brown Cardstock, Double-sided Adhesive Foam Rounds – small, Kraft, Dark Brown, Slate cardstocks We all have our favorites, and this card is my favorite out of the four cards I’m sharing with you today. And it’s surprisingly simple to create. Die-cut the Autumn Leaves Etched Dies from kraft, orange, red, chartreuse, chocolate, black and slate cardstock TIP – cut a lot at one time and store in a small stamp pocket with the dies for future use Die-cut a white 4” x 5.25” cardstock panel using the Essential Classic Labels Etched die in the center to create a window for the sentiment Foil a small piece of Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty Clear Film Sheets using Speckled Aura Glimmer Foil and the Happy Fall Y’all Glimmer Plate from the Crimson Fall Glimmer Plate Set Adhere the foiled sentiment behind the white cardstock panel, centering the sentiment in the window Add mounting to the back of the white panel and center on an A2 black card base Arrange the die-cut Autumn Leaves around the foiled sentiment using mounting foam circles, layering some of the leaves to create more dimension Add Fashion Gold Embellishments to finish the card Other supplies Neenah Avalanche White cardstock #110, Chartreuse, Kraft, Red, Orange, Slate, Dark Brown cardstock, Double-sided Adhesive Foam Rounds – small, large, Double-sided Adhesive Foam Strips I was hoping you could drop a comment below letting me know your favorite.
