Spellbinders Color Block Thank You

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Thank You card created with the Be Bold Color Block Thank You die set at Spellbinders. The Be Bold Color Block collection features die sets with which you can quickly and easily create bold and graphic greetings. I shared projects created with other dies in the collection here and here.

On the first card, I die-cut the “THANK” letters from glitter cardstock with the Be Bold Color Block Thank You set. I used the die to hold the letters as I taped them together from the back. I adhered the assembly to an Onyx card base measuring 3.25 x 6.25 in. I die-cut the “you” letters from white glitter cardstock, which I adhered to letters cut from Snowdrift cardstock. I added the letters to the card base with foam adhesive.

For the second card, I die-cut the “THANK” letters from Onyx cardstock with the Be Bold Color Block Thank You set. I die-cut the background in sections from the glitter cardstock. I used the die to tape all of the pieces together. I then added an additional set of Onyx letters. I constructed the “you” letters as I did on the first card.

Spellbinders January 2022 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kelly Taylor. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created gift card holders with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “A Pocket Full of Love.” I previously shared a card created with the same die set here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, January 16, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

For the gift card holders, I created the same design, varying the colors I used. This unique die set creates a pocket in which to place a note, a photo, a gift card, and more revealed by pulling up the heart.

Create A2-size card bases with the January 2022 Embossing Folder “Spreading Love.” Spellbinders launched the Embossing Folder Club on January 1, and the response has been so overwhelming this Club has sold out. This design may be brought back at a later time (check the “Past Clubs” section). Be sure to sign up for Clubs right away on the first of the month so as to not miss out on any future designs.
Create the pockets – die-cut, score on three sides – and adhere to dry-embossed backgrounds.
Die-cut solid hearts, detailed hearts, detailed pocket covers, and enclosure panel pieces. Assemble.
Glimmer foil the sentiments with the More Sentiments set in silver and cut with a die in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Sandra Nagel. Scroll for the full blog hop list.
