I used the April Small Die of the Month kit to create cards to celebrate an anniversary, Christmas, and an engagement.

The April Small Die of the Month set is designed to work with the Trucking Through the Seasons set; the dies can also be used on their own. You can see additional cards I created with the kit here.

Special Celebrations – April 2020 Spellbinders Small Die of the MonthFor the anniversary card, I created the sentiment using the “Forever” license plate. I added heart balloons and a heart cut from patterned paper for the background.

The balloons were tethered with strings from the Sunday Drive Hitched set.

On the Christmas card, I used the “Happy” ornament overlay and “Holidays” license plate included in the Small Die of the Month set.

I cut two additional ornaments, leaving them plain, and “tied” the three ornaments together with twine.

For the engagement congratulations, I cut a license plate using the Truckin Through the Seasons set and cut the ring and heart balloons using the April Small Die of the Month set. I tied gold twine to the balloons, pulled the twine through the ring, and adhered the ends under the license plate.

To add texture and visual interest, I dry-embossed the background with the Inspire embossing folder.

  15. You are one impressive, inspired crafter that has the ability to think from a different perspective. Placing the focus on the decorative dies and not the main Truck die, on your multi-themed cards, is truly inventive and creative thinking!. You’ve found a unique way to make the sentiment the focal point with all the background elements being the “supportive cast”! Love it!!!
