Spellbinder's November Large Die of the Month

Hi Friends! 

I am so excited to be guest designing again for Spellbinders! 

Today I am sharing a few cards that I have created with the
Spellbinders Large Die of the Month for November!
There are so many elements to this die set that could be used for a variety of Holiday projects,
and you can see the Large Die in its entirety HERE
Interested in joining the Spellbinders clubs? 
You can find out more about it all  HERE
Such an amazing die set with SO many possibilities!

Ultimately it is an Advent Calendar set,
 but for today's post, I just had to use it for Christmas cards!
It's just perfect for cardmaking! 

But rather than rave about it - here's what I've created.....

How sweet are these Christmas tree cards?! 

Such intricate and clever cuts!

I have supported these dies with scrapbook supplies from the gorgeous Cozy & Bright Christmas collection from Pebbles!

Looks like a perfect match to me!

Here's a better look for you.....

O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree....

Isn't this just divine?! 

I just adore how the star die features the tinier inset embossed star - it's all about the details...

And how sweet are those teeny tiny baubles?

Super cute!

I foam mounted the tree to add gentle dimension to this card, and then foam mounted the ephemera sentiment onto the die cut for more interest!

Here's a couple variations featuring the fabulous 

Spellbinders Platinum Pack 3 - 6" x 6" Poster Board Sheets in Metallic Gold, & Silver. 

Talk about spreading the Holiday cheer! 

For this card, I also featured the HO! dies from this set. I have cut them in red glitter cardstock for added wow factor. So effective!

I cut the tree design in both gold and silver, and then used the 'left over' pieces to inset the tree design. Doesn't it look stunning?! 

Here's a closer look for you....

Absolutely beautiful! 

I hope I have inspired you with these Festive handmade cards!

Spellbinders Guest Designer!

Hi Happy Arty Days Friends! 

I am so honoured (& a tad super excited) to be a Guest Designer this month for Spellbinders!

Spellbinders create the most beautiful and intricate metal dies - I LOVE them all!

For my post today, I am using the following dies.....

Shapeabilities Flowers Whisper 

Etched Dies Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low

& 

Shapeabilities Leaves So Very Gorgeous

Etched Dies Good Vibes Only Collection by Stephanie Low 

I know, how pretty!!!

And so many creative possibilities too!

Here's what I've created with them....

Oh sigh! Aren't these cards just divine!?!!

I told you they are the most intricate and beautiful die cut designs! 

*Swoon!*

Let's take a closer look at each card.....

For my 'deer' love..... 

For this card I use the Crate Paper Maggie Holmes: Flourish collection, ribbon and Nuvo Drops in Bubblegum pink as well as both of the Etched Dies. 

You'll see that I have cut the Flowers Whisper die multiple times to create layers and dimension for that focal flower. I strongly recommend using a fine line glue for adhering those tinier, fiddly pieces together. I foam mount this feature flower onto the Leaves So Very Gorgeous die. The leaves are cut in white cardstock and I partially inlay them for added interest. 

Simple, pretty, layered dies! Love it! 

For my second card, "Grow with Love", I use the same papercraft supplies but also use the 

Spellbinders PLATINUM PK 3 poster board. 

Hard to believe, but this gold foil card cuts like buttah!!!

Amazing!

For this card I use the other leaf flourish from the Leaves So Very Gorgeous set. I repeat cut it, and layer the two gold leaves with a white cardstock one.

 Lovely layers for beautiful results!

Absolutely Stunning! 

And because these dies are just SO pretty, I had to make one more card.....

Nothing says delicate beauty more than Cocoa Vanilla Studio!
I have used their More Than Words collection for this soft and pretty thankyou card.
This time, I cut the Leaves So Very Gorgeous die in pattern paper, and attacked it with my scissors!
Yes - all those leaves are all from the one die cut! Cut your die cuts to create new looks! Such a cool idea & doesn't it look lovely?!!

So very thankful to Spellbinders for having me Guest Design for them!

I hope I have inspired you to visit the Spellbinders Store HERE and see more of their incredible products!
