DIY Door Cards- Doors Through The Seasons
Celebrating Doors Through the Seasons - Spellbinders Large Die of the Month
Spellbinders Large Die of the Month has unlimited potential. It's got the charm of being welcomed to the home of your favorite relative or friend. It's got Christmas morning magic and Halloween fun. It's got echoes of a favored vacation memory and the promise of a future get-away. Maybe one door whisks your imagination to an event and another draws you back to a cherished memory.
There were so many ideas floating in my head for doors so I let my mind and imagination take over to create the doors through the seasons.
The Autumn Door
I love the colors of autumn. This door features Spellbinders Large Die of the Month as well as Spellbinders Spellbinders Small Die of the Month. I also used Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System
to create the pumpkins (Sunset Harvest - Glimmer Hot Foil Kit of the Month October 2019 - (Plates & Dies Only available while supplies last).

The Cabana Door
The cabana is where I'd love to be after a stressful day at work - watching the sunset at the ocean, feet in the sand and a pineapple slice in my hand. This door features Spellbinders Large Die of the Month as well as the leaves from Spellbinders Spellbinders Small Die of the Month.

Tips and Techniques:
Buttons Galore's 3D buttons can be easily altered to accommodate your project vision. The
3D Bat Buttons were topped with silver wax paste to make them look like concrete ornamental pillar caps.
I cut the back button shanks off the Skulls from Buttons Galore's Spooky set so they would be lie flat on the card. I also added black ink accents to make them a little spookier and mood setting.
The Beach House
Another of my favorite places to visit. This door features Spellbinders Large Die of the Month and Spellbinders Tool 'n One.
