  • To create my CAS card, I used two of the dies in the May Small Die of the Month set to cut detailed borders. The dies can be lined up together and cut simultaneously in a variety of combinations. I cut the borders from three different cardstock colors.
  • I lined the backs of the die-cut borders with Whip Cream cardstock.
  • I heat-embossed the sentiment in silver on to Whip Cream cardstock.

  • I added the Butterfly Frame die-cut, cut three times for additional dimension, to the top of the card as a focal point.
  • I assembled the card by adhering the panels on to a card base, starting with the bottom layer first.
  • At the point where the white panel meets the pink detailed border, I added a thin strip of Whip Cream cardstock.

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.

I used the Festive Wreaths Slider Card to create a gift card slider card, cutting the pieces from patterned paper and solid cardstock. The area revealed easily fits a gift card. I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!

Spellbinders March 2020 Small Die of the Month kit

  • I die-cut the bunny, carrot, and flowers with the March Small Die of the Month kit.
  • I used the negative piece of the carrot to trace the carrot shape on to patterned paper which I glued behind the carrot frame.

  • I attached the rabbit and flowers, as well as the carrot tops, to the carrot and then attached the assembled to the slider.
  • I stamped a sentiment on to white cardstock, cut it with a rectangular die, and added that to the top part of the insert.
  • The lower portion accommodates the gift card. I added twine through the hole of the insert with which to pull the insert.
