Hi everyone! Here we are after Christmas and moving right on to the New Year faster that the speed of light!
Have you heard about the NEW Spellbinder stencil of the month club? I’m sure you have cuz I’m late getting my card posted for December and it’s already closed! Usually you can order them a month later though.
This set has four stencils. I used Distress inks and the mini circle Tim Holtz blending tools.
I used Cracked Pistachio, Lucky Clover and Pine Needles for the greenery. For the heart flowers I put down Kitsch Flamingo first, then some Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral! lol You sure wouldn’t need to use all the pinks/reds! lol
I hated to cover up all the stenciling so I went with a fun hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinder All Occasion Mailbox Greetings Hot Foil set.
I really like how clean and simple it turned out plus it was fast to make!
It’s an A2 size card and completely mailable! I noticed the post office was running cards through the machines even if they had ‘hand cancel’ and extra postage on them. That is really frustrating. I even received cards that were completely rigid that had been machined. So cardmakers just put a stamp on it and call it good! I even received a pkg that was a stamp set and a die, weighed 1.8 ounces and only had one forever stamp on it and it still came intact and no extra postage envelope wanting me to pay extra! All this technology isn’t speeding things up or accurate! HOHOHO!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! I went MIA because I needed to get some house stuff done and be ready with gifts and 27 ppl on Christmas Eve day! WOW! Did we have fun! Still smiling about it. I thank God for our family every day! I hope you had a blessed Christmas too. Talk to you again soon!
Here’s what I used to make this card…

Beautiful colors and love that sentiment Pam!!
Sweet heart-shaped flowers! And such a perfect sentiment for your card
Oooh, love this! Spellbinders does have some pretty stencils. I’ve noticed for a long time that the PO doesn’t pay much attention to a “hand cancel” message. They will hand cancel a square envelope because it doesn’t fit the machine. Speaking of square cards, your gorgeous square Christmas card arrived in flawless condition and, oh my, is it ever striking sitting on my dining room table! Your Christmas eve day sounds amazing. Our Christmases have grown more quiet but we still enjoy them. Happy new year, Pam!
This is so pretty Pam! I’m thinking about adding this one to my monthly subscriptions….even though I said I was going to slow down on adding to my stash! I’m so far behind on my emails….I just spent the last 3 weeks recording all of my craft stash in the Color My Life app! Whew! Now back to reading my emails and crafting!
What a pretty card! I sure didn’t know about the new stencil club – thanks for the heads up!
