Happy Friday everyone! This month I was also invited by Spellbinders to create with bits and pieces from the Handmade Holidays Kit Add Ons and Home for the Holidays Collection. As with most Spellbinders products, these interchange beautifully if you like bits and pieces from each one but are also packed with great things if you need to choose as well.
My first card today uses a couple of products from the Handmade Holidays Kit Add On selections. I built the gorgeous Delivery Joy Sleigh using various cardstocks in my stash and liquid glue to assemble all the pieces.
My sentiment banner comes from the Handmade Sentiments add on. I cut one from pink, then cut the sentiment, then decided to cut a solid banner from glitter cardstock to offset layer behind the pink one.
For my background panel, I added ink to the raised portion of my In the Pines embossing folder and embossed a piece of white cardstock. Then I went over the whole panel with another layer of the same ink and splattered it with gold watercolor for some sparkle.
All of the elements are popped up with foam tape and squares for my favorite dimensional look.
Okay, now it’s confession time before talking about this actual next card. Who buys the new fun gadgets but gets too nervous when they come so they sit in the beautiful box for months? Yeah, I’m raising my hand. I bought the Better Press system quite a while ago plus some plates. Nervous I would have a hard time with it, I left it all neatly stacked to guilt me from the sidelines of my craft room.
That ended with this next card though. I got a couple of plates from the new Copperplate Holiday Sentiments and Home for the Holidays Collections. I pressed the sentiment on an Emerald Cut Label with black ink. Then I pressed the Winter Rose background plate with garnet ink.
After popping the label up with foam tape, I created some poinsettias from the Poinsettia Spray die set and popped them up in opposite corners with foam squares.
I love getting a jump start of holiday cards. Normally I have plenty to go around but last year I fell short so it’s definitely on my mind.
I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!
