Love You Endlessly with Spellbinders December 2024 Clubs

I went live on YouTube back on the first of the month with some of my friends using the December 2024 Spellbinders Clubs! In case you missed it, you can watch the replay down below - it's a longer one so feel free to watch in a faster speed... I had some technical difficulties, but I was able to move things around and was able to complete my stitching and card making in the video.

This is actually my last month with the Stitching Club - it was fun this year and while I enjoyed the Clubs this year, I do not tend to use them more than once and would like to give other Spellbinders Influencers a chance to use this Club in 2025. I'm hoping Carrie Rhoades and LV Handcrafted take the torch in 2025 and we'll see if maybe in the future I do them again! Keep your eye out for another video this month with the rest of the Clubs I receive for more card ideas!

Die Cut Santa Christmas Card with Sizzix

Happy December! It's crazy we're in the last month of the year... It's been such a busy but amazing year! One of my favorite things was getting to know some lovely folks at Sizzix and I was gifted a few items and I used some dies and stencils on today's card. When watching Craft Roulette, when it landed on card with a belly band and an element of coat, I thought I could get away with these two parameters with adding a Santa to my card!

I started with some tissue paper from a gift as my upcycled random element on my card. I trimmed it to be slightly smaller than A2 and glued it to my card base. I used Distress Oxides that matched the red and green colors to create my stenciled background. I also added Distress Spritz to give it some subtle gold shine. I trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than 4x5-1/4" and adhered it to the center of my card.

Next I did a bunch of die cutting out of greens, reds, black, skin tones, white and gold cardstock. The colors are inspired by a Christmas cottage! I layered my Santa with a Joy sentiment as well as my tree. For Santa, I did all of the reds first and sprayed a red Distress Spritz, then continued to layer so his red suit would be shiny as well. When my tree was assembled, I added some white splatter to give a snowy look. I attached my two die cut images to my card base with foam adhesive.

For some final touches, I stamped a sentiment from Scrapbook.com and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I also attached it to the card with foam adhesive and finally added some Pops of Color to look like ornaments on the tree. I had such a fun time putting this card together! I hope this card brings you a smile and let me know how you think I did with the parameters in the comments.

Hey Ghoul Hey Fandom Halloween Cards with The Sassy Club

It's the last day of the month and a Saturday... So you know what that means... The ultimate combo for a Sassy Halloween Saturday! I wanted to really focus on the adorable ghost images from Hey Ghoul Hey stamp set so I just made very simple backgrounds with patterned paper. You can watch my video that I made embedded down below. You can also find my supply list at the bottom of the blog post as well.

I started with die cutting my circle backgrounds, stamped and colored my images, embossed my sentiments and finally assembled the cards. I think these ghosts are just so adorable and I love their mouse ears! The little details of the images really make the stamps and while there's not a lot to these cards, I think they turned out super fun.

Sealed with a Kiss Valentine with Miss Ink Stamps

Happy Fandom Friday, friends! I'm excited to get in the lovey dovey mood with images from Miss Ink Stamps. This pink card with the dark creature in the center just brings me such joy, hah! I hope you enjoy my video for this card today, you can find it embedded down below and my list of supplies at the end of this post.

The Solar Paste skeleton hands in the shape of a heart are my favorite part of the card. I just love the pink glow they give the card!

Christmas Polar Bear Card with Scrapbook.com

I was so excited to receive the Beary Christmas die set from Scrapbook.com and I finally spent some time using the dies to create this cute scene with the two trees and adorable polar bear decorating them. I started with stenciling my panel with the Bricks Stencil with a mix of Cloud Whip and Snowflake Pops of Color. I masked off the bottom of the panel so once the background was dry, I stamped my sentiment. I masked the bottom part of the panel again and added some Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide and Spritz.

When that was dry, I adhered a 4x5-1/4" patterned paper panel to my card base and then popped up my stenciled and stamped panel. I die cut the polar bear out white mixed media cardstock (same as the panel) and the polar bear details and trees from the same Snow Days A2 pad as my background. I glued the trees and polar bear together then adhered them to my card with foam adhesive, except for the small tree - that was glued on with liquid adhesive.

I used some soft alcohol markers to add shadow and small details to my polar bear. I then used a black gel pen to add his little eye. To add some highlights, I used a white gel pen to add highlights around the images and sentiment. Finally, I used my Clear Shimmer glitter brush to add glitter to "Christmas" in my sentiment. I hope this card brings you a big, bear hug of a smile to your face today!

Fall Greetings Mushroom Shaker Card with Pretty Pink Posh

Thanksgiving is just a couple days away and while I'm about to go full Christmas mode at home and in life (hah!) I wanted to share one more Autumn themed card! When I created this card for Pretty Pink Posh, I really wanted to use all of the mushroom themed products so I started with stenciling the Layered Mushroom Stencils with red inks with the (A) stencil, light brown with the (B) stencil, and stencil paste with the (C) stencil.

Once it was dry, I cut it with the largest Eyelet Rectangle Dies and adhered it to center of an A2 card base. I stamped my sentiment in brown ink on kraft cardstock from the Fall Bouquets Stamp Set and used the Coordinating Die to cut it out. Next I built my shaker using the Mushroom Shaker Dies out of red and light brown cardstock and acetate. I think it looks so cute with the Fall Mushroom Clay Confetti! I adhered the shaker to the center of the card and layered the sentiment as well.

How do you feel about mushrooms? Do you love them or hate them? I like looking at them but am not a fan of eating them...

Pink Tree & Bows Box Card with Pretty Pink Posh

I have one of my last box cards that I have been making this year for Pretty Pink Posh and I went a bit... pink! But I think it’s super fun and you can easily switch out the colors I used in the video today with your favorite holiday colors. I started with doing all of my die cutting! I cut the Scallop Box Card Dies base out of a light teal cardstock, scalloped pieces from a cream cardstock and one of the connector pieces of vellum. Next I cut the Fringe Tree Dies from hot pink cardstock for the tree layers (except the largest one) and the trunk of the tree out from cream cardstock. The bow is cut from the Holiday Mug Addition Dies out of glitter cardstock. Finally, I cut the Sentiment Strip Dies from the glitter, hot pink and cream cardstocks.

My sentiment is from the Holiday Scripts Stamp Set and I stamped “to the world” on the smallest sentiment strip in teal ink and “Joy” in pink ink on cream cardstock separately so I could use the Coordinating Die to cut it out. To add more pink to the card, I used the same pink ink as well as an Interference Ink with the Layered Bows Stencils on the scalloped die cut pieces. Now that I have all of my pieces, I assembled the Scallop Box Card with the vellum piece in the center. I added my tree to the vellum and layered my sentiment strips and sentiment to the front of the box card. What do you think of a hot pink tree? Would you want it in your living room - or is it better on a box card? I hope you had some fun with this box card today!
