Birthday Celebration Cards | Spellbinders 20th Birthday

Hello friends!

Today we are celebrating a very special birthday in our craft community. It is Spellbinders' 20th Birthday 🎉🥳

Wow, Happy Birthday 20th Birthday Spellbinders! What an amazing accomplishment and thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your birthday celebrations this year. My cards today come from the BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS COLLECTION. If you love making birthday cards, you will love this collection!

CARD RECIPE

 

This mini slimline turned out super cute. It features the Stitched Fringe Cake Etched Dies, for the cake layers I blended out a few inks to give me a rainbow blend and used the stitched cake layer die to die cut out all the layers. I then just trimmed the length of each tier and stacked them. I didn't feel like stitching so I just covered up the holes with a thin strip of gold glitter paper.

For the sentiment, I heat foiled the Happy Birthday using Polished Brass Glimmer foil with the Birthday Unboxing Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & coordinating dies.

For a fun detail, I added the Mini Bow to the cake plate.

The fun background was done by using the Hand Drawn Scallops Embossing Folder.

For this next birthday card, I began with dry embossing the background panel using the Hand Drawn Scallops Embossing Folder.

I then die-cut various colors of paper using the Party Décor Etched Dies and then mixed and matched them to make some fun colorful banners that I glued onto the gold glitter lines.

For the sentiments, once again I heat foiled the Happy Birthday using Polished Brass Glimmer foil with the Birthday Unboxing Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & coordinating dies.

As always, check out the links below for all the supplies I used in making these cards.

Thank you for joining me today for this special Spellbinders Birthday Celebration, until next time... Happy Crafting and Happy Birthday Spellbinders!

Joyful Christmas in July Cards and Tags | Waffle Flower

Hello Friends!

If you have been following me on Instagram you may have already seen most of these projects. I am thrilled to be joining my friends at Waffle Flower to celebrate their Christmas in July Release this month.

So here is a recap of the projects I have shared. Check out the links below for the supplies used.

With this first shaker card, I was able to create two projects from one background. I first blended out the rainbow stripes using the HOLIDAY STRIPES STENCIL with Atelier Inks and then added the snowflakes using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil and Glimmer Glitz gel. 

Once the background was dry, I used one of the tags from the NESTING TAGS Dies, to die cut the window for the shaker and then used plastic packaging to create the flat shaker window onto the card base using double-sided tape, no foam. 

For my next project, I used the cutout piece from the card to create a coordinating flat frameless shaker tag. To do this, simply create a pocket around the front of the tag. Fold back and secure the plastic cut pieces that hang over the edge of the tag to the backside, leaving an opening to fill with shaker bits. Then seal the last flat in place. If you like visuals, check out my IG Reel to see these come together.

I added a stamp from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS and the sentiments from the OVERSIZED JOY Clear Stamps.

To create the seamless flat shaker, I glued another tag that I stamped the to and from from the same set. Add an eyelet to the top of the tag to seal the shaker bits in the tag and embellish the top with a bell or however you like.

This next flat frameless shaker tag was done the same way using the largest die from the NESTING TAGS Dies and using the OVERSIZED JOY Word Dies. For this tag, I used white embossing paste first on holographic rainbow cardstock using the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

Once again I stamped the same sentiments on the backside from the CHRISTMAS TAG ELEMENTS.

I had so much fun creating these tags that I had to make more. This time I used Glitz Gel on the Holographic Rainbow cardstock with the SNOWFLAKE Background Stencil.

This final Joy to the world card was created by ink blending the rainbow trees on the background using the DUO TONE CHRISTMAS TREE Stencil. I then repositioned the stencil to add the glitter trees.

Want to see how these came together check out my IG Reel below.

I love this OVERSIZED JOY Word Die. It is large enough to be the center of attention on this card front, especially when it's done in glitter paper.

I hope you were inspired by my Christmas Creations today! I am so happy I have some Christmas projects all ready to go for Christmas as I feel like I never have enough when Christmas time comes around and before you know it it will be here!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
