Festive Holiday Card
Celebrate the magic of Thanksgiving with a festive card that captures the spirit of the season. With the rich oranges, golds, reds, and greens you can create a card that radiates warmth and cheer.
Colorful Base: Start with a rich gold cardstock as your base. Then, add red and gold ink to the argyle embossing folder and emboss a piece of Forest cardstock with it. These classic holiday colors provide the perfect backdrop for your festive design.
Thanksgiving Icons: Ink the stamp with crisp black waterproof ink and color it with alcohol markers.
Greetings: Heat emboss the sentiment with gold embossing powder to create an elegant greeting. Die-cut the greeting and the focal point and pop them up with foam squares to give them some dimension.
Supplies
Fall Leaves Autumn Card
Nothing says autumn quite like a bunch of colorful falling leaves.
Fall Background: Create a unique foresty look by embossing a white piece of cardstock with Gathered Twigs ink. Then, use multiple colors with the BetterPress of the Month registration plates to create a gorgeous autumn background.
Choose a soft pastel cardstock for your base to complement the floral theme. Light golds, greens, or soft blues work beautifully.
Detail Trim: Use a postage die-cut out the background. And then, fasten it centered on a gold card base with a tape runner.
Elegant Accents: Use brushed gold cardstock to press the coordinating sentiment, “Sending Autumn Wishes” and layer it on top of a deep green scrap of cardstock. These details enhance the celebratory feel and add a luxurious touch to your card. Attach the sentiment with liquid glue.
Supplies
Elegant Thank You Card
Expressing gratitude becomes a work of art with this elegant thank you card design. Using the intricate glimmer plate from the Spellbinders kit, you can create a card that exudes sophistication and warmth, perfect for any occasion where thanks are in order.
Creating the Base: Start by selecting a deep gem-toned cardstock like Mahogany to use for the base.
Adding the Sentiment: Hot foil a heartfelt “Thanks” sentiment on an A2 size (4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″) piece of mahogany cardstock with speckled aura foil.
Die-cutting Details: Using elegant dies to cut out an oval from brushed gold cardstock and a delicate framed oval for the focal point, the sentiment. Arrange these on the front of your card, layering them with foam strips to create depth and interest. This adds a touch of elegance and draws the recipient’s eye to your message.
Supplies
Whimsical Farm Scene
For a card that brings a smile to anyone’s face, create a whimsical farm scene using the fun and playful elements in the kit. From rolling hills to a charming barn scene, this card is perfect for any occasion. I chose “Many Thanks” from the
Setting the Scene: Begin with a bright, cheerful background. Choose colors like sky blue and greens to evoke the open countryside.
Building the Farm: Use the farm-themed dies to cut out shapes of barns, fences, and pumpkins. Layer these elements to construct a lively farm scene that tells a story.
Finishing Touches: Add small details like clouds, trees, and a path leading to the barn doors. These elements bring your farm scene to life and add whimsy to the card.
Supplies
Playful Halloween Card
Celebrate Halloween with a playful “trick or treat” card. Using vibrant colors and dynamic layouts, this card is sure to make the recipient smile.
Vibrant Foundation: Begin with a vivid cardstock color such as bold orange and bright green. These lively hues set the tone for a card that’s full of energy.
Dynamic Layout: Incorporate die-cut elements to create a carling frog. And then more oval die-cuts that help to draw the eye to the frog.
