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).  

Additional products used  to accent the Autumn Door:

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.
