Open House Collection by Spellbinders

Welcome back friends!  I’m excited to be sharing a couple of projects using the new Open House Collection from Spellbinders.  The fun and welcoming scene-building die sets in this collection inspired me to create three cheerful cards perfect for sending a warm hello or a special note.

HELLO PORCH DOOR CARD

Scene-building die sets can be a little intimidating, so I wanted to start by creating a simpler front door step with just a few special touches first.  Using mainly the Open House Door Base Die set, this cheerful door card is perfect for sending a happy hello, especially to a new neighbor!  (Note: The Open House Door Base Die Set is very popular and may be sold out, but you can easily substitute the Always Welcome Die Set as all of the accessories mix and match between these two styles of doors!)

  • Trim a piece of medium grey cardstock to 4.25” x 5.5”.
  • Using a scoreboard and stylus, score the panel deeply every half-inch to create the look of siding.
  • Adhere the panel to a top-folding A2-sized white card base with tape runner. Trim a piece of Silver Fox Cardstock to 4.25” x 0.625” and adhere along the bottom of the card front with tape runner to create the porch floor.

BIRTHDAY DOOR STEPS CARD

Now that I was comfortable assembling a simpler scene, I wanted to create a door card with tons of little special details.  I used feminine colors and some fun texture for this pretty mini slimline birthday card.

  • Adhere the door, steps, and transom window directly to the card front with tape runner and add the railings on top with foam adhesive.
  • Pop the gift bundle up in front of the door with foam adhesive.
  • Add the three balloons to the side of the door with foam adhesive and secure the balloon strings to the railing with a single Crystal Mix Gem.

TOPIARY THANK YOU CARD

Some of the accessory dies in the Open House Collection work perfectly as focal points on a card as well. Here I’ve used the Open House Topiary Die Set to create this sweet and simple thank you card.

I hope you enjoyed this trio of fun and welcoming cards and thanks so much for stopping by today.  You can shop the Open House Collection from Spellbinders and customize your own door cards!  And don’t miss out on the Stamptacular Sale going on now with up to 40% off select stamps through Sunday, August 29th!
