Elegant Kaleidoscope Strips and Borders Card Set | December 2019 Large Die of the Month | Spellbinders


 Elegant Kaleidoscope Strips and Borders Card Set | December 2019 Large Die of the Month | Spellbinders by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

Hello crafty friends and happy Thursday! I hope you are all having a good week so far.

Today my cards feature Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Trio Strips and Borders which are in the December Large Die of the Month Kit. To be honest I wasn't too sure if I was going to like these dies but that changed quickly once I started to die cut them out and layer the pieces together. I love the potential and versatility that they offer in combination or when used separately. So needless to say don't judge a die until you've used it, lol!

  CARD DETAILS

For this first card, I began by die cutting the bottom layer from a white piece of cardstock. I ran this flower-like die twice to create two rows of flowers. I then lined up the border die to cut off the bottom. To fancy up the card a little I die cut the top layers using a metallic gold foil (I also did the same as you will see for the other cards) and then glued them in place.

Next, I glued die cut panel to a light blue layer that I had previously adhered to the card base. To embellish I used a medium-sized light blue pearl to the center of each flower and then added larger white pearls to the spaces in between.

The sentiments I used in all of the cards today come from the Deco Borders and Corners Stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.

For this next card, the process was identical to the one above, only this time I did three rows and flipped the middle row to nestle into the row before it.

Once again I used some white pearls to embellish it and stamped out the sentiment from the same set. I just love how the white pearls pick up and reflect the pink color from the paper.

This next card turned out to be my favorite one of all, and to be honest I thought it was the die I was going to like least! But just look at the beautiful detail. So dainty... it reminds me of lace on a vintage wedding dress. Again, my process was the same, only this time I used an Ivory colored cardstock panel.

To embellish, I used vintage pearls to coordinate with the ivory and continue with the vintage look.

So pretty, right!? I think it will make a perfect card for a Wedding.

Frameless Slimline Holiday Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps



Frameless Slimline Holiday Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

Hello Friends!

This week starts off the Honey Bee Stamps 4th Annual 12 Designers of Christmas Event, and they are showcasing little old me on Day 2 😊


So today I am back with another shaker card. If you have been following me you know that I have been making a few of these frameless holiday shakers lately. This time I thought it would be fun to create the slimline version. The process of making them is super simple, so if you want to know how they are made watch my latest video →HERE  I promise it is much easier to watch then for me to try to explain it.

CARD DETAILS

I started this card by cutting out the panel for the card out of Bristol paper. The panel was cut to 4x8 inches and then eventually glued onto the same size card base. 

I wanted to make a northern sky background so I used a bunch of Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the colors for the background (see links below for the colors used). Once I had completed the blending I then spritzed the paper with water and pick up the droplets with a paper towel.

For the snowy hill that the snowman is on, I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the DOUBLE STITCHED OVALS. I then stamped out the sentiment from the SEASON TO SPARKLE set and heat set the black Versafine Onyx Ink with clear embossing powder.

To the sky, I glued on some of the snowflakes from the LAYERING SNOWFLAKE DIES.

This darling little snowman comes from the SNOW BUDDIES stamp set that I colored in using Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating SNOW BUDDIES DIE set. I also added some Liquid Pixie Dust to the body to add some sparkle and added some gel pen details to the scarf and ear muffs.

To fill in the shaker I used MOON DANCE and a BLIZZARD CONFETTI MIX. To the top of the plastic, I added some white enamel stickers from the BACK TO BASICS set.

I hope this Frameless Slimline Holiday Shaker inspired you today. I absolutely love how this bright and colorful card turned out and hope you did too.

Thank you for stopping by 😊
Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
