Welcome back! As promised, I have a few cards lovingly made using Spellbinders' Home for the Holidays collection that just released! I was really happy to be invited to play with a few products from the collection and even happier when their gift included some of their newest Betterpress items!
First up, some very CAS very simple cards to allow all the brilliance of these plates shine ... and you had to know there would be a little grey involved, right? Let's start with their set that includes TWO plates: Night and Day Pines...
I'll attempt to explain the difference between the plates:
The Day plate on the left 'presses' the ink/pine boughs into the paper.
The plate on the right or the Night plate presses the inked background into the paper and leaves the pine boughs white - think 'covered with snow!'
Night... and Day...
I just couldn't bring myself to cover much of that detail.
Spellbinders' Sending Joy Sentiments to the rescue!
[may I just say warn you - you will be seeing A LOT of these]
Last but certainly not least Color Mix Joy:
This set of plates comes with several sentiment plates and an acetate guide for alignment in a fun 'stacked' configuration ... but I couldn't help myself - I lined them up [pressing the j and y first then the o] straight and fussy cut the whole shebang making a 'button' out of the tiddle!
Another beautiful Day pressing for the background and one of the
four sentiments from Sending Joy. The Poinsettia and pine boughs are
from SB Holiday Blooms 2022.
And there you have it! My Spellbinders Home for the Holidays cards! Hope you enjoyed them and want to see all the other products from the collection HERE.
