FROM HOUR HOME TO YOURS
My first card is a card that would be lovely to send to holiday guests inviting them to stay (if safe to do so during the pandemic), or simply as a holiday card in general. It could even be used as a non-holiday card. I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Open House Door Base Etched Dies elements from Spellbinders Cardstock. I used Onyx for the main door and Snowdrift and Glacier for the windows. The hardware was cut from Brushed Gold Cardstock.
I took an A2 white card base and added a strip of Silver Fox Cardstock at the bottom for the ground. I adhered the elements to the door with Bearly Art Glue and adhered the door to the card base with thin foam squares. The window piece was added above, adhered flat. I took the Spellbinders Open House Topiary Etched Dies and die cut the elements from Fern, Rainforest, Pomegranate and Poppy Field Cardstock. The plant stems were cut from Timber. They were assembled in to topiary trees and adhered to the card with foam tape.
CHRISTMAS GNOME GREETINGS
For my next card, I thought I would create a mini slimline
card and combine the door elements with Dancin’ Gnome from the Be Merry
Collection. I started off by die cutting the door elements the same as the
first card - using Onyx, Snowdrift and Glacier Cardstock. I used Brushed Silver Cardstock for the post box plate and door handle. I used Graphite for the top door piece, Fern for
the foliage and Snowdrift for the flowers.
CHRISTMAS HELLO
My last card for today could also be used for any occasion. If you take the poinsettia off, I think it could be a non-holiday card as well as a holiday one. I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Open House Door Base Etched Dies like the first card
and second card. For the hardware, I used Brushed Silver Cardstock. I created a
6.5" x 3.5" white card base and added a strip of Silver Fox Cardstock at the
bottom for the ground.

Michelle, these are all GORGEOUS! I just love this die set - so versatile to use for all year round cardmaking. The red/green traditional accents on two of the cards are so pretty but I have to say the blue/silver card with the gnome is my favourite! What a great combination of the sets on that card. Love what you have created with this fabulous die set! xx
