Hello and happy December! Today, I am sharing cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit (“Daydreaming”) and Large Die of the Month kit (“Look Behind the Curtain”) at Spellbinders.
My first card showcases the Small Die of the Month kit that is packed with dies with which to create window scenes.
I cut the starry panes from dark blue cardstock and again (without the star insert) from light yellow. The set contains three sentiments. I chose the one that best works with the nighttime scene.
I added the cat, the moon, and the potted plants to the scene, as well as gold sequins. I added the window assembly to a patterned paper background.
On the second card, I have combined the Small Die of the Month kit named “Daydreaming” and Large Die of the Month, which contains dies with which to create an operable curtain. I created a daytime scene with the Small Die of the Month kit, using the rectangular window without the arch window.
Here’s the card with the curtains open:
- I assembled the scene, which includes two cats and potted plants, and set it aside.
- Following the directions for the curtain assembly, I die-cut the curtain pieces from patterned paper and gold foil (finials).
- I attached the curtains to a yellow panel which contains the slots for the curtain mechanism.
- I then added the window scene.
Here’s what the card looks like with the curtains closed:
Really cute cards. I love the red and blue color scheme!
Two darling cards with that set, Jean!! Such a sweet kitty couple and I love how you used it on both cards! Wow – that opening curtain looks fun – can’t wait to get my set now!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Wow!! Your cards are so sweet!!! I LOVE the first one with the starry sky and the little kitty!
What lovely scenes you’ve put together Jean. So cute with the kitties.
