Spellbinders September 2022 Release featuring Noel Mini Slimline Frame

Hello and welcome! I'm here today with the Spellbinders September 2022 release of the "Christmas Flourish" collection by Becca Feeken. I have 2 cards for you today made with the same supplies.

This collection has lots of gorgeous dies perfect for your Christmas card creations! Take a look at the whole collection HERE. I used the "Noel Mini Slimline Frame" die set to make two A2 size cards. I really like dies that work for many card sizes and these are great for any size card.

For my first card, I went more CAS, (clean and simple), with lots of white space. The white background panel was scored every 1/4" on my scoreboard for a little texture and interest on all the white space.

For both cards I used 2 alcohol ink panels I had made using both Yupo paper and Tim Holtz Silver Sparkle Alcohol card stock. I chose alcohol inks in blues, greens and metallic gold to create 2 panels so I would have enough colorful paper to die cut from.

I had cut the main large 2 dies from the set from the alcohol inked panel and then cut the center piece from it.  That center piece I cut, is the piece I used create this first card. 

 I also die cut the "Noel" from the center and then cut it again from white card stock and paper-pieced it into the opening. I cut a 2nd center piece from black to layer under the colorful one to give it more dimension. Next I cut two of the swirls, one from white and one from black and stacked them for under the "Noel."

I cut lots of leaves from the alcohol inked panel and then cut the background for the leaves from black.  This die set has both 2 dies for cutting individual leaves and then 2 dies that outline sets of 3 of the leaves.  So cool!

Once I had the leaf clusters put together, I added a center berry die cut from the same panel. There are 2 choices of center berries you can use, and I used them both.  You can't really see the center die cuts, because I added tiny red gems on them to give the berries lots of sparkle. I cut the scored panel down by 1/4" on all sides and added it with foam tape to the card base, then added the colorful dies cuts on the scored panel.

Here's a closer look at my first card.



Now on to card #2, here's a look at my next card:



I used the main panel, with all those lovely dots for this card. I cut 2 more black ones as well (without the dots) and layered them behind, slightly offset to give the inked panel more definition and a shadow.  Here's a closer look:

This time I cut the "Noel" from 3 papers, black, white and from a piece of watercolored paper that I had created. The watercolor paper was sprayed with water and then sprinkled with Cosmic Shimmer Pixie Sparkle powder in reds and then sprayed with water again.  It's hard to see all the shimmer in the picture but in real life, it just sparkles!

I cut one "Noel" and then the berry centers from the red paper too. I stacked the 3 word dies offset a little with the top layer being the sparkly red watercolor paper.

Once I pieced all the parts together, I added the colorful die cut cluster to a white A2 card base and then added lots of tiny red gems to the berries for extra sparkle.

I hope you like my cards for today.   Be sure to check out the whole release because it really has some gorgeous products that will help you create lovely Christmas cards for family and friends.  I've linked all my supplies below but you can also find the entire collection HERE.
