Guest designing: Sparkling Christmas collection from Spellbinders

Hi Everyone!

I am super thrilled to be here today to share some projects that I’ve made with the absolutely wonderful Sparkling Christmas collection from Spellbinders. These dies are absolutely amazing – In just a few easy steps you will be able to create some Amazing looking cards - sometimes I like spending hours on my designs - other times I want my card to look really worked at without having to put too much effort into making them - The cards I'm sharing today are cards just like that (-:

(pic 1,2 3)

My first card is very simple to make!

1. Create a cardbase from Craft cardstock

Diecut and emboss a panel from kraft cardstock.

Ink the panel using distress ink; Brushed coudory and Walnut stains

Diecut the wonderful s4-1062 Festive Noel from Heavy watercolor paper and color the different twigs and branches - Use a glitter pen for the snowflakes - make sure to leave out space for the NOEL letters.

Diecut the noel letters from gold cardstock and adhere to the center.

Adhere the Beautiful center piece to your card with foam adhesive to give the card some extra dimension.

The second card is made almost the same way as the first - the difference being the tree in the center and the sentiment. The tree is created by layering the diects from a fabulous set called S4-1064 Kaleidoscope Christmas Tree consisting of Three different versions of the sam tree - it is not till you layer them up that you discover how amazingly Beautiful they become.

The sentiment is from the super useful S4-1065 Christmas Mix and Match

I couldn't help myself but created Another take on the same tree - the colors, the numbers of dies you use the possibilities with these dies are simply endless:

For my last card I used only one of the dies - the top layer die- to make yet Another version of this tree. Here I simply inked (distress ink) a piece of vellum that I let dry before I adhered my White diecut tree to it and trimmed away the excess. I added the star and used the dots from s4-1062 Festive Noel to create some shiny ornaments.

The bg panel is embossed using this Lovely CLASSIC CHRISTMAS Cut and Emboss Folder

Guest Designing for Spellbinders: Candlewick Sampler collection by Becca Feeken

Hi Everyone!

I am super thrilled to be here today to share some projects that I’ve made with the absolutely wonderful Candlewick Sampler collection by Becca Feeken. These dies are absolutely amazing – so intricate and beautiful. I love that they can be used all year round - they will be wonderful for stylish and/or vintage, wintry designs but also for CAS more summery designs like the ones I'm sharing today.

I start out by sharing a card that when I made it felt so much "Me" (-: and then I realized it must be because it reminds me of my own birthdays as a little girl. My birthday is in April I would always get a bouquet of Liverwort flowers in a small vase on my birthday breakfast tray. And I just LOVED them! And the flowers I made here look just like them!

To make my flowers I used the flower dies from Candlewick Corners and Cinch and Go Rosebuds and diecut them from turquoise cardstock that I then inked with Distress Ink: Salty Ocean and Chipped saphire. I then added a white pearl to the center and used white gouach paint for the pistils.

For my scallopped panel I used a border die from Candlewick Borders. I love how it adds dimension and texture to this otherwise CAS card design.

My second card is probably my favorite. I absolutely LOVE the A Frame . Here I used it to frame a window for my sentiment. I think this design would be perfect for a stylish Wedding Card.

I started out by cutting a panel from polka dot embossed cardstock and then , with my diecut frame as a guide - cut our a windoe before adhereing the die cut A Frame around it.
I the added some flowers that I had die cut and inked using dies from Candlewick Grand Pockets and Cinch and Go Rosebud.

My last card is a summery happy design - it is also very easy to make thanks to the amazingly beautiful and intricate die; Quick Lace Card Cardfront. It is a joy each time I roll this die through my diecutting machine!!! It will create beautiful texture for a white on white stylish card but here I wanted some bright colors. I think this is a lovely background for the sweet little flowers I created using the smallest flower from Candlewick Corners.

I diecut the flowers from white cardstock and then colored them with copic markers and then added the small pistils with white gouach.

Hope you are inspired to make something beautiful with this collection - You can find lots of more wonderful inspiration on the Spellbinders blog that you find HERE.

These are the wonderful Spellbinder products I used for my projects:

S4-1016 Candlewick Canopy
S4-1024 Candlewick Corners
S4-1023 Candlewick Borders
S4-1022 Candlewick Grand Pockets
S4-1015 Cinch and Go Rosebud

Guest designing for Spellbinders: Holiday 2019 Collection by Sharyn Sowell

Hi everyone!

My name is Karin Åkesdotter (You find me on Instagram as Peppermintpatty42 https://www.instagram.com/peppermintpatty42/ and my blog is PeppermintPatty’s Papercraft http://peppermintpattys-papercraft.blogspot.com/ )

I am super thrilled to be here today to share some projects that I’ve made with the absolutely wonderful Holiday 2019 Collection by Sharyn Sowell These dies are the most adorable ever!!!

I think the tree from Starry Forest is so Beautiful and for my first card I wanted it as my center piece. I simply die cut it from thick White cardstock (300g) and also from gold cardstock so I could add some stars in gold to it. I also cut some extra using the tiny stars from SANTAS-WORKSHOP.

I cut an extra bird that I colored Bright red befor adhering to the top of the tree. I added a snow border using a scallopped die from Becka Feeken's latest Collection (candlewick border)

My background is inked using distress ink; Salty Ocean, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Saphire.

My second card is super fast and easy to make - but oh how much I love it. I am chikldishly fascinated by how paper can be cut so beautifully just by running a die and cardstock though a diecutting machine (-:
I cut a panel from light blue cardstock to which I adhered the Beautiful S5-398-Spellbinders-LOVE-CAME-DOWN Before adding it to my White cardbase. The goldstar adds a bit of interest.
This would of course look Lovely in more traditional Christmas colors too and in brighter non trad color combos too - endless possibilities!!!

For my last card I wanted a dreamy storybook look for a "Young Family" Christmas card. I started out by making my background by masking the snowy ground and sentiment strip with post-it tape and then inking the top piece of my White cardstock panel. I used distress ink: Victorian Velvet, Seedless preserves and Chipped Saphire. I then sprayed it with gold spray.
I then tried a range of different colors on the Lovely silhouettes from WINTER-FRIENDS but settled on White for this card.

Hope you are inspired to make something beautiful with this collection - You can find lots of more wonderful inspiration on the Spellbinders blog that you find HERE.
