Cardmaking for Beginners | Patterned Paper Cards with Spellbinders December Club Kit Extras

Hello friends and Merry Christmas! With this post, following the example of my post from last month, I decided to start a new series called “Cardmaking for Beginners” featuring entry level, very easy to make cards for those new in cardmaking. I hope you’ll find these posts useful!

Today I have a few patterned paper cards to share all made using Spellbinders December Club Kit Extras. I used Winter Wishes extras from December card kit to make all of the cards I’m posting today. This month extras include: Gold Glitter Alphabet Stickers, Winter Wishes Mason Jar Stamp Set and Winter Wishes 6×6 Paper Pad.

All of these products are made in China, they are not premium quality, but they do make nice cards. They also make for a great gift for someone who’s new to cardmaking (perhaps you have a friend who’d like their hand at making handmade cards but doesn’t know where to start – these goodies would surely help someone dip their toes in cardmaking).

CARD DETAILS:

• Create A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2″) side folding card base using white cardstock.
• Cut diagonal stripe patterned paper to 3 3/4 x 5″. Adhere onto the card.
• Cut snowflake paper to 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 “, mat with glitter paper, adhere onto the card.

I made glitter paper I’m using for these cards by using glitter washi tape from December kit. I adhered strips of tape onto cardstock to create my own glitter paper.

• Die-cut Hemstitch Circle out of “deer” paper. Foam mount onto the card.
• Die-cut several branches out of glitter paper, adhere onto the card forming a wreath.
• Tie twine into a bow, adhere onto the card.
• Add 2019 using gold glitter stickers. Alternatively, you can spell something.
