3D Christmas Florals for Spellbinders

Hey friends, I'm back with another Christmas in July card for Spellbinders that features products from the Home For The Holidays collection, one of the new July releases. I've made a shaped card that features lots of 3D floral die cuts. Scroll down for more! I'll also have a clickable shopping supply list at the end of this post.

My card features the Emerald Cut Labels & Tag etched die set, using the largest frame in this set. 

I also cut 4 sets of the Poinsettia Spray etched die set (using my Platinum 6) gluing soooo many pieces together! It was quite the undertaking gluing that many pieces but I really wanted to have my card panel covered in all those blooms. They're all popped up on tiny, trimmed adhesive foam strips to make them dimensional.

Luckily, I was at a craft retreat that allowed me all the time I needed to sit back, relax and glue all the things!

Prior to gluing, I did some ink smooshing on several A2 size white card panels, dried them with my craft heat tool, and then cut my poinsettia dies from the inked panels. I used Catherine Pooler ink in  Rockin' Red for my ink smooshing and I love how they turned out. I was surprised that the color turned out more pink than red, when mixed with water but I'm not mad about it!

If you've never tried ink smooshing, just press your ink pad onto a craft mat, spritz with water, then dab your cardstock randomly onto the inky mixture and allow to dry naturally, or use a craft heat tool to speed up the drying process.

During the last Christmas holiday season, I created lots of foiled, bulk holiday sentiments using the Simon Hurley Joyful Christmas Glimmer Sentiments & die set with my Glimmer hot foil system.

I love having bulk sentiments on hand. I used Spellbinders Aura foil for my sentiment and took several photos so you could see how different it looks, depending on the angle.

It's so shimmery and gorgeous, and my absolute favorite Spellbinders foil. I should also mention, my frame and sentiment were both popped up on double adhesive foam, in order to be raised above my 3D flowers.

The papers that I used for all my sentiments came from 3 different paper pads from Scrapbookcom; Playful, Christmas and Peppermint.

My card is a side fold A2 card and my A2 card panel that holds the blooms was trimmed down just a bit to make space for my frame. Once all the elements were adhered to my side fold card, I simply went around and trimmed each corner of my card, at an angle, to be flush with my Emerald frame.

Thanks so much for stopping by. If you'd like to shop, I've provided convenient affiliate links below at no additional cost to you. Have a great day!
