Spellbinders All About Christmas Collection, Part 2

Hi crafty friends! Today I'm sharing my second card using the All About Christmas collection which is designed by Lisa Horton. This collection features 5 die sets, 2 sentiment stamp set and a background stencil set. To check out my first card, check out this post.
Scroll down for a complete supply list.
LITTLE BIRDIES DIE SET AND CHRISTMAS SENTIMENTS
 
My card uses the adorable Little Birdies die set. These 2 birdies are super cute and can be used all year round!! The layers use the Bell and Bow Scallop Frame die set. The sentiments are from the Christmas Sentiments stamp and die set. The word Christmas has 2 shadow outline dies and there are coordinating stamps to go with it.
To start, I chose a beautiful pattern from the Nutcracker A2 paper pad and adhered it to my card base. I then used the Bell and Bow Scallop Frame die set and die cut my layers from white and pale blue cardstock. I used the White Splatter on the blue layer and then added my birdies and branches. For some sparkle I used glitter cardstock for the snow and the hat trim.
For the sentiment, I die cut the Christmas die with Onyx glitter cardstock and stamped the Holly Jolly with black ink on white cardstock.  I love how this turned out!

💥This entire release is absolutely adorable! Be sure to check it out.💥

Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Happy Garden 2 layering stencil set. There are 4 stencils in this set measuring 4.3" x 6.3". I really love the whimsical vibe of the flowers and leaves in this set.
I used my Distress Oxide inks with Bristol Smooth cardstock. The sentiment and accent stars are from the Birthday Bunting die set die cut with black glitter cardstock. To add some more glitz, I cut a 1/8" strip of Antique White glitter cardstock and added it to the left. A simple twine bow completes the card. I love how this turned out!

 Hi crafty friends! I have some fun news to share, I was asked by Hero Arts to be an influencer!  Each month I will bring you inspiration for the Hero Studio Die set of the month and a variety of their monthly collections. Today I'm sharing a card using the August Hero Studio Die set which costs $25 a month and includes shipping!

This month's theme is Halloween and I'm here for it! The die set features 5 frames and a variety of Halloween icons to mix and match! I started out by using a piece of A2 Spooky paper pad as my base. I die cut the frames with satin gold cardstock and then inked Bristol Smooth cardstock with Villainous Potion and Black Soot Distress Oxide inks. Then I spritzed it with both Villainous Potion and Frozen Fog and used it behind the frames. I die cut the icons out of black cardstock and printed off the sentiment from my computer.
Just look at that shine! I love how this turned out.
