Hello crafty friends! Happy June (this year is zipping by)! I’m delighted to share two slimline projects created with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die of the Month “Color Block Circles & Stripes” and Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Circle of Sunshine.”
For the first project, I created a colorful, geometric-art card with the die and stamp sets.
- I used the long strips die in the Large Die of the Month set to cut strips in colorful colors from all three widths – 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch. The strips are 8 1/2 inches long.
- I arranged the strips at a 45-degree angle on a slimline card base.
- I cut the circle pieces from the same four colors as the strips and from Snowdrift. I cut the curves from Snowdrift cardstock.
- I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in red.
For the second project, I created a sunshine-themed card.
- I used the Large Die of the Month strips die in the set to cut 1/4 inch strips from cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide inks ranging from dark orange to yellow.
- I stamped the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment on to cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide ink and cut it with the circle in the set. I backed it with a 2-inch circle cut from vellum.
- For the background, I applied Distress Oxide ink through the Sun Burst Stencil. I then applied Moonstone Glimmer Paste.
- Once dry, I added the five horizontal strips and the sentiment circles to the stenciled background.
What great colors!! Love the sunburst, just a very happy card.
wow those dies make for colorful opportunities!
