Hi there, this is
Annie Williams and I’m excited to be back on the blog today to share a couple of cards made with the
Merry & Bright Collection from Spellbinders. The bold designs and beautiful florals in this collection inspired me to create three simple and pretty cards perfect for sending a holiday hello.
Oversized Double Bow Card
I thought the giant bow from the
All Occasion Bow Die Set was such a fun design that I pulled it out first to play with. Here I doubled up my bow loops for this oversized holiday card featuring tons of color and stripes.
Die cut white,
Waterfall, and
Teal Topaz Cardstock using the
All Occasion Bow Die Set, cutting an extra two sets of bow loops to create the double bow. Assemble with liquid glue and foam adhesive for tons of dimension. Die cut
Pomegranate,
Fern,
Rainforest, and
Mirror Gold Cardstock using the flowers and tag from the
Petite Blooms & Sentiments Die Set.
To create the background, trim a piece of white cardstock to 5.25” square and emboss it using the
Peppermint Stripes Embossing Folder. Rub Festive Berries Distress Ink over the raised areas using the ink pad directly to paper until the stripes are dyed red. Mount the background panel onto a 5.5” square white card base with foam adhesive and add the bow and florals on top with more foam adhesive.
Frosty Merry Wishes Card
The fun tree design from the
Merry & Bright Die Set is such a bold focal point, I didn’t want to add too much else to my card to compete with it. Here I cut several frosty colors of glitter foam and added just an embossed background for this simple winter card.
Die-cut Silver, Teal, Blue, and White Glitter Foam Sheets using the
Merry & Bright Die Set and adhere them to the base cut from
Waterfall Cardstock using liquid glue. Die cut the secondary sentiment from
Mirror Silver Cardstock.
Trim a piece of
Cosmic Sky Cardstock to 4 x 5.25”, emboss it with the
Peppermint Stripe Embossing Folder, mat it with
Mirror Silver Cardstock, and adhere it to a top-folding A2-sized white card base. Pop the tree and sentiment up on top of the card front with foam adhesive.
Merry Little Christmas Card
Lastly, I wanted to create another pretty background with that
Peppermint Stripe Embossing Folder to show off some of those beautiful flowers from the
Petite Blooms & Sentiments Die Set.
Trim a piece of
Mirror Red Cardstock to 4” x 5.25”, emboss it with the
Peppermint Stripe Embossing Folder, and then lightly sand the red finish off of the raised areas using a sanding block. This will reveal a brushed silver look that is perfect for holiday cards! Mount the panel onto a top-folding A2-sized white card base with foam adhesive.
Apply Gold Hot Foil to white cardstock using one of the sentiments from the
A Merry Little Christmas Sentiments Glimmer Plate Set, cut it out with the coordinating die, and pop it up on top of the card front with foam adhesive. Die cut white, Pink Sand,
Fern,
Rainforest, Latte, and
Mirror Gold Cardstock using the
Petite Blooms & Sentiments Die Set and assemble in two bunches around the sentiment. Embellish the flower centers with
Gold Mix Gems.
