Happy Holidays

 

F4A658 - Sweet Treats

I love these new interactive dies from Spellbinders. You cut all the pieces, add a dimensional to the body of the deer and the legs swing.

This was super quick to create once all the pieces were cut just glued everything and added dimensionals.

Happy Haunting

 

CAS709 - Halloween

USEIT2022 - Bow

I don't often create Halloween cards but I just had to make this one. For the card base I used the colors in candy corn then created the shaped card base by cutting off one corner and using that as a template for the second corner. 

Next, I cut a white card base, added the orange and yellow and then used the same cut off template to create the shape of the candy corn layer.

I then stamped the hat, colored with copics and layered finishing off with the bow from my tote of items I am trying to use up.

Farm Birthday

 

WT915 - Down on the Farm (The first Farm Aid concert is held in Champaign, Illinois) - farm scenes, tractors, farm animals, Old McDonald

One of the great things about all the new die cuts out is we can use them to create fun cards and use up some of the mountain of scraps in our stash. This entire card was made using cardstock scraps and I just love how it came out.

I cut all the pieces then for the card base I sponged green and blue. Once everything was cut I added a bit of sponging to a few of the pieces and layered.

I finished it with the birthday sentiment to help build my birthday card stash.

Faith

 

MIX503 - Royalty

F4A656 - Pick a season

I picked spring. I thought these flowers were perfect for a faith-based card in support of Queen Elizabeth's strong faith. She was very dedicated to service and the church, and this card is my representation for her.

For the card I stamped the flowers and leaves and sponged on the colors. Once colored I used a shaping mat and tool to shape the flowers, leaves and bird.

I added the layers and some dimensionals and arranged the flowers and leaves. Once the card was put together, I added stickles and prills to the flowers.
