Scrapbook.com Holiday Papercrafting Parade...



Today I'm hanging out with a few girls over at Scrapbook.com!  We are doing a little Handmade Holiday Parade, sharing out Christmas projects!


I have a card today using some Scrapbook.com stencils and dies to create a fun slimline card.

 

Scrapbook.com


To create this card, I used the Nordic Sweater Stencil to dry emboss a piece of red cardstock.  This red smooth cardstock is from Scrapbook.com and it embossed beautifully.  I added in some white splatter pain and some sparkle by using the Silver Glitter Dust Spray.  


Scrapbook.com


I die cut the Mini Envelope Die from white cardstock and added the Spellbinders Christmas Blooms all around it.  I used the gold cardstock from the Scrapbook.com paper pack to create the gold poinsettias.  The sentiment is from the Peppermint Christmas Sticker Book.  Love those easy sentiments!


Scrapbook.com

Non-Traditional Christmas colors for the win! {Spellbinders}...

 Hello friends!  I have a quick and easy Christmas card today using non-traditional Christmas colors.  Spellbinders has a great selection of dies for your Christmas cards.  So many fun details in their dies!  Check out Spellbinders Black Friday Sales by clicking HERE!  Lots of good stuff to see!


Spellbinders


I love these new dies from Spellbinders called Fluted Classic Rectangles. After masking off the edges of the Rectangle, I added in some light stripes to the teal cardstock.  I added the amazing blooms from the Shapeabilities Layered Poinsettia Etched Dies.  Finishing it off, I used the Merry Christmas Die from Create a Christmas Etched Dies.


_____________________________________



A little more about the Fluted Classic Rectangle Dies.  You can see that for one set of dies, you get a bang for your buck!



Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies is from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace. Create three decorated edge frames with this set of nine thin metal dies. Simply nest the outer rim, insert die and inner rim together. The insert die edge has a combination of intricate grooves and pierced dots design along its edges. Decorated and solid shapes can also be created with this versatile set.

The Fluted Classics Collection come in basic shapes (circle, square, oval, Slimline and rectangle) with a ticking design inspired by the blanket stitch on its edges. Nest the outer and inner rims with the insert to cut a tailored frame, a solid shape, or a beautiful background edge to any layering design.

Approximate Size:

  • Large Rectangle Outer Rim: 4.30 x 5.50 in./10.80 x 14.00 cm
  • Large Rectangle Insert: 4.20 x 5.40 in./10.70 x 13.80 cm

Altenew Glint & Glimmer Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway



Altenew has an AMAZING new release today called Glint and Glimmer!  There are several new hot foil plates that are going to make you smile!


Today I am using the new set called Sparkle Bright Set.  It includes a stamp set, a die and the coordinating hot foil plate.  Check it out....



Altenew


First using Cooper foil, I hot foiled a piece of white cardstock.  With my Misti, I used the stamp and lined it up with the foil stamping it in black ink. After die cutting the image, I popped it ups til a piece of black fun foam for dimension.  I love the image just as is with the foil and black lines.  
I added a Sentiment Strip for a quick and easy finish to the card.

The Greetery - Tags and Toasts...

I am SUPER excited to bring you this post today!  The Greetery has the cutest little release of several AMAZING products!!  Everything you see today will be available tomorrow, Friday, November 12th at 10am EST.  If you would love to see all of these new products live, come over to Instagram and hang out with me on The Greetery's page where I will be sharing all the details of these new stamps, dies and stencils!  And don't forget the new hot foil plates. Hang tight with me because I have LOTS to share!

Click HERE to see the full release that will be live Friday the 12th at 10am EST.


Let's get started with These amazing new grad products.  First up, this amazing swirly die called Year In, Year Out.  This die is perfect for graduation cards for 2022.  I combined it with the It's The Year: 2022 Hot Foil plate to create this fun card....


The Greetery


I masked off the background and added in a little gray ink.  I die cut the Year in, Year Out die with maroon cardstock....our school colors!  Next I added in some darker Copic shading to the center for a little depth.  I hot foiled the 2022 in black foil on gray cardstock.  Love that look!  Last, I die cut the Year In, Year Out die again in silver cardstock and popped up those stars around the front of the card.  Using the Year In, Year Out Sentiment Set, I stamped the Congrats Grad on the little banner in white and popped it up on the front.  


The Greetery


The next round of products are called Tag Team Duo.  This is an awesome set of Tag Dies that has some super fun add-ons.  There is a hot foil plate. a stamp set, and a stencil set to create any type of tag you would want!  The possibilities are endless.  Here are 2 quick tags I made using the Hot Foil plate....look at the foiled edges....so cute!!  I added in a little striped stenciling and then stome fun details from past stamps sets. 


The Greetery


Here is a set of 4 tags I made using the hot foil plate, 2 tags are stamped with sentiments from Tag Team Duo Labels Stamp Set, along with the trees from Fir and Foliage Stamp Set.  Super easy and fun to make!


The Greetery

I wanted to share some tags using the new stencils and stamp set in non-holiday form.  I LOVE this big stripe stencil and all the little detail stamps to go with it!


The Greetery

Another exciting addition to the Opposites Attract Stamp Sets are the new hot foil plates!  LOVE!!!  I used a past favorite, Print Shop: Fresh Floral Stamp Set, along with the new Opposites Attract Hot Foil plates.  There is also a new Opposites Attract Holiday Hot Foil plate too!  Yay!!


The Greetery


I die cut it out with the Postal Frames Dies and then layered it on top of a striped cardstock that I cut out with the Crimped Frame Dies.  I finished it off the "to say hello" sentiment stamped in black ink and die cut with the Opposites Attract Script Dies.

The Greetery
