Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a slimline friendship card created with the Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die of the Month “Hex Kaleidoscope Slimline.” Find out more about this set here.

I combined the Large Die of the Month set with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Hex Tile Stamps.” To celebrate a new month, I chose a color palette of yellow and shades of orange.

I created a card base from Onyx cardstock.
I cut a frame from Snowdrift cardstock using the two large dies in the set. I used one of the kaleidoscope hex shapes to cut out the center hex (to frame the sentiment).
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in white on to dark orange cardstock and trimmed the piece to fit behind the center open hex.
I backed the open frame with dark orange cardstock. I used the detail frame to cut yellow cardstock and inlaid those tiles into the frame.
To create the kaleidoscopes, I die-cut the top from Snowdrift cardstock, the next layer from light orange cardstock, and the bottom layer from the same dark orange cardstock. I fussy-cut hex shapes from Onyx cardstock and glued the kaleidoscopes.
Once the frame was added to a mat and the card base, I embellished with small blooms cut with a die in the Special Delivery set.

Spellbinders – Christmas Collection – Be Merry

Hello! Today, I am sharing an A2-sized Christmas card showcasing products from the just-released Be Merry Collection at Spellbinders.

I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to an A2-sized panel of red, velvet-textured cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas sentiment in gold on to navy cardstock.
After masking the sentiment, I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil. Once dry, I cut the sentiment with a 3 inch circle die.
I die-cut the snowy hills from glitter cardstock with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and cut them with the 3 inch circle die. I adhered the snow banks to the navy circle.
I die-cut the Chill Bear from Snowdrift cardstock and gold foil.
I die-cut the ornament top from gold foil with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline die set. The ornament string was cut with a die in a previously-released Spellbinders Christmas die set.
I added the ornament and bear to the red background.

Thanks for stopping by!

Penny Black Birthday Fishes

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS birthday card created with the adorable 30-846 Birthday Fishes stamp set from Penny Black.

Using the stamps in the 30-846 Birthday Fishes set, I stamped the large fish with black Archival ink on cardstock, to which I had applied Distress Oxide inks, and fussy-cut the images.
I applied Distress Oxide inks to a panel in shades of blue.
I stamped the sentiment and the school of fish in black Archival ink on the blue panel.
I added the larger fish to the scene with foam adhesive.
I adhered the scene to a black cardstock card base.

Penny Black – Dream & Discover – Happy Camper

Hello! Along with the nautical theme, I am a big fan of the camping theme for summer cards. I used the newly-released 51-645 Campers die set from Penny Black on a CAS “Happy Trails” card that could work for variety of occasions such as a retirement or an upcoming vacation.

The 51-567 Tree Border was die cut from Noble Fir cardstock and adhered added to the background. The border does not cut the bottom portion so the tree border can be cut to the size you want.
I stamped the 30-841 Happy Camper sentiment on to white cardstock and cut it with one of the dies in the 51-033 Silver Linings set. I cut a second cloud with the same die.
The camper was created with the inlay technique. I cut textured, white cardstock with the 51-645 Campers set. I cut the door out of the camper. I cut the bolt detail out of the camper, with the door in place. I cut the camper from the red cardstock. I cut the bolt from the red camper using the top portion of a guide. I cut the bolt from brushed silver cardstock. I put the pieces together and cut the door again. I backed the assembly with yellow cardstock. The camper is taped together on the back.
I embellished with yellow accents – a butterfly (51-132 Flights of Fancy) and small flowers (51-618 Swinging).

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders July 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Emily Midgett. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a birthday card using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Mini Slimline Envelope and Nested Card Creator.” I previously shared another card created with the kit here. Scroll for info on a sales event at Spellbinders.

I couldn’t resist creating another red, white, and blue card for a summer birthday!

To create the card base, I used a previous Large Die of the Month kit – Colorbock Circles & Stripes – to cut stripes from red, white, and blue cardstock.

I embellished the card with flowers cut using the July Large Die of the Month kit and balloons cut using the Celebration Scene die set.
