Spellbinders Becca Feeken Holiday 2019 Blog Hop + Giveaway

Hello, crafty friends! 

I'm beyond thrilled and honoured to be joining Spellbinders for their Blog Hop today featuring the 3D Holiday Vignettes & Glistening Holiday Collections by Amazing Paper Grace. You should have arrived here from the super talented and amazing, Becca Feeken's Blog.

 We've got tons of inspiration and giveaways for you on the hop today, so keep reading till the end of this post for more information.

For my first card, I used the Merry Filigree Quatrefoil Glimmer Hot Foil Plate, Nestabilities Hemstitch Squares Etched Dies, and the Shapeabilities Flourished Square Etched Dies.

The Glistening Holiday Glimmer Plates designed by Becca are so beautiful that they make every project made with it look so elegant. For my card, I started by foiling the square filigree frame from the Merry Filigree Quatrefoil Glimmer Hot Foil Plate using the Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Gold.

While my Glimmer Hot Foil System was out, I also foiled the sentiment from the Merry Filigree Quatrefoil Glimmer Hot Foil Plate using the Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Rose Gold. I die cut the filigree frame using the Nestabilities Hemstitch Squares Etched Dies, and the sentiment using the Nestabilities Standard Circles LG Etched Dies. 

I wanted to add some layering to the background so that the foiled pieces would remain the main focal of my card. I die cut the flourished square frame die from the Shapeabilities Flourished Square Etched Dies using Gold Mirror Cardstock.

It was now time to start adhering the various components of the cards together. I first adhered a light pink patterned paper to my card base, and then added layers of White & Mirror Gold Cardstock to give it a finished look. Next, I adhered the flourished square frame and the foiled pieces. I used White Fun Foam while adhering the foiled pieces to give it some added dimension.

To embellish my card, I used a faux Silk flower, some mulberry flowers and rose buds, as well as some leaves. I also added white satin bows below my floral arrangement to complete the card design.

My second and last card for today features the Shapeabilities Grand Christmas Lattice Arch Etched Dies, Shapeabilities Nativity Layering Set Etched Dies, and the Shapeabilities Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies.

For my card, I first started by die cutting the lattice arch frame die from the Shapeabilities Grand Christmas Lattice Arch Etched Dies using Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110 LBS Cardstock. I also die cut the arch inlay die and the sentiment die from the same set.

I used Chipped Sapphire and Mermaid Lagoon Distress inks to colour the background of the arch inlay to depict the Nativity scene. Next, I die cut the silhouette images and the insert for the outer frames from the Shapeabilities Nativity Layering Set Etched Dies using White Cardstock & Gold Mirror Cardstock. I adhered these die cuts together on my card panel.

To embellish my card, I die cut some poinsettias from the Shapeabilities Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies using White heavy weight Cardstock. I embossed the centres using an Embossing Ball Tool and added golden stamens to the centres for a richer look.

To complement the flowers, I die cut some holly leaves from the Shapeabilities Grand Snow Globe Etched Dies using Gold Mirror Cardstock. I adhered these around my poinsettias and my card was almost complete. I matted this panel to my card base and my card was finished.
