Today’s post features more new release products from Spellbinders and this shaped card features the Amaryllis Christmas Collection by Yana Smakula. Every collection designed by Yana is absolutely gorgeous and this one is no exception!
It may have been designed for the holidays but Yana’s Amaryllis Dies can definitely be used for more than Christmas cards and I’m sharing a card that shows how it can be used for birthdays and other celebratory occasions.
I love that this has a base die on which all the die cut pieces can be glued to. That makes it so easy to work with and arrange on a card. While the obvious option is to ink blend or colour the inlaid pieces, I chose to cut them from Lavender Glaze, Briar Rose and Passion Fruit. I cut the outline with Mirror Gold cardstock and assembled all the pieces on a Vellum base.
I used the Nested Postage Labels for the card base and stitched panel. I cut the card base from Artichoke cardstock and the stitched panel from Snowdrift, which I dry embossed using the Amaryllis Garden 3D Embossing Folder.
After creating the postage-shaped card base and glueing the embossed panel on it, I heat foiled the sentiment from Let’s Celebrate Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set using Polished Brass Hot Foil on Mocha cardstock. I chose this colour because it closely resembled a pot or soil and thought this combination of foil and cardstock complemented the other colours nicely.
Both Yana’s Amaryllis and the Let’s Celebrate Sentiment were popped up on foam squares. To finish, I added three Fashion Oyster Pearls.
