Spellbinders Botanical House┃Inspiration Card
Happy Thursday, Friends! Yasmin here sharing with you this Botanical House inspiration card that, I made with the; Botanical House Die Set from the March Dies & Glimmer Plates release by Spellbinders. In my opinion, this is the perfect die for a clean and simple Spring look greeting card. The March release also has other fabulous Dies and Glimmer Hot Plates sets which, I’ve previously use to create 2 Thank you cards, I’ll be adding an image and the link below in case you want to check them out as, I shared them yesterday on Spellbinders ‘Blog. So, without further ado, let’s jump to the step by step on how I made it ↓
To begin with, I started by trimming, scoring and folding in half a 4-1/4’’x 4-1/4’’ in square white card base.
To create the gold frame, I trimmed down a large piece of gold cardstock to 4.0’’x 4.0’’ inches, and I adhered the backing of it with double-sided tape to the white card base.
Then, to create a subtle sky I slightly inked up over a white card panel using; Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide and Cloud Mix-ables Stencil. Once, the clouds were ink up over the white cardstock, I trimmed down the card panel to 3-7/8’’x 3-7/8’’ inches, and I adhered the backing of it with double-sided tape to the card base.
At this point my card base was complete so therefore, I set the card base aside, and I moved on to the fun part which, in this case was the die-cutting process. So, for the die-cutting process, I ran through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine the house frame die from the Botanical House Die Set to die-cut it 4X out of white cardstock. The die set also has a die the creates a thin line die-cutting so, I went ahead to die-cut it out of white cardstock as well.
After, all die-cutting pieces were done, I stacked the frames, and I adhered the dimensional frame to a large piece of Acetate which soon after that, I trimmed the excess of it with the paper trimmer. To finish the frame off, I adhered the thin die-cutting line to the back with liquid glue, and I set it aside. In the meantime, I ran through the die-cutting machine the dies that die-cut the greenery, and I die-cut them a few times out of Light, Medium and Dark Green hues cardstock.
Lastly, after all foliage die-cutting pieces were finish, I placed the dimensional house in the center to use it as a guide because, I glued down with liquid glue some of the foliage on the right side and some on the left side so, once the foliage pieces were in place, I mounted the house with skinny pieces of clear foam tape to add dimension. I wish you could how the acetate added a glass reflection look to the house, but I know it’s very difficult to capture it due its transparency.
Last but not least, to add even more dimension, I glued down with liquid glue some of the foliage that I have left in the front side of the house followed by the sentiment which, I had previously foiled in a piece of white cardstock, and to finish the card off, I glued down here and there a few crystal sequins to add a touch of shine. With that being said, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step by step on how I’ve created today’s “Botanical House” card showcasing one of the new; March Dies & Glimmer Plates by Spellbinders.
