Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy April! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Universal Curved Border Set.”

Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club

The 11-piece set works on multiple card sizes including slimline and A2 for any number of occasions. I have created cards in both sizes. Let’s take a look!

On the first card, I used the set’s floral border to decorate a friendship card.

  • I cut the border twice for medium blue cardstock.
  • I glimmer-foiled the Heart Melt sentiment in Matte Silver on a Snowdrift cardstock A2-panel.
  • I adhered the border pieces on the top and bottom, trimming the sides.
  • I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
  • I adhered the floral elements to the card.

The second card showcases the set’s slimline capability and how the dies can be mixed-and-matched.

  • I die-cut the net-like pattern and floral borders at the same time, nested together, from a light-blue cardstock (this is not the same color as the A2 card, however, it is similar).
  • I die-cut Snowdrift cardstock using the set’s simple curved border and adhered it to the back of the light-blue panel.
  • I adhered the assembly to a Brushed Silver slimline panel.
  • I glimmer-foiled the Heart Felt sentiment and cut it with a circle die. I matted the sentiment with a slightly larger circle cut from Brushed Silver cardstock.
  • I cut the florals and leaves from Snowdrift and Brushed Silver cardstock. (The flower centers were cut with a die in a Spellbinders Christmas set.)
  • I adhered the floral elements to the card.

Hero Arts Spring “Hello”

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS spring-themed card created with Hero Arts supplies. Around here, we have decidedly spring days followed by ones, like today, that feel like winter!

Hero Arts Spring "Hello"

  • I die-cut the watering can and flowers from cardstock inked with Distress inks. I added additional ink to the cut pieces after cutting.
  • For the tulips, I pieced the blooms on to the stems.
  • I stamped the sentiment, from an old Hero Arts set, and cut it with a small tag die.
  • To create the background, I stamped an old Hero Arts background stamp with white paint. Once dry, I applied Distress inks in shades of yellow. The painted area resisted the ink.
  • I added the assembled can with flowers to the background with foam adhesive.

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS mixed-media card created with Tim Holtz supplies including a die set, embossing folder, and stamp set.

Tim Holtz Feathered Friends

  • I cut the Feathered Friends bird from Bristol, which I colored before cutting with Distress Oxide inks. I also added color to the pieces after I cut them.
  • I matted the bird with a vellum circle and a circle cut from a panel, which I collaged with collage paper and added Distress Crayons.
  • I stamped the Simple Sayings sentiment on to cardstock colored with Distress Oxide ink and cut it with a banner die.
  • I dry-embossed the background with the Lumber folder and added inks to the panel, as well some Picket Fence paint.

Hero Arts Plant + Stand Die Set

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS “hello” created with the Hero Arts Paper Layering Plant + Stand die set.

Hero Arts Plant + Stand Die Set

  • I colored Bristol with a variety of inks and cut it with the die set pieces. The stand was cut from a woodgrain cardstock.
  • I stamped the Sending Smiles sentiment on vellum.
  • I added the vellum to a faux watercolored paper background, which is revealed on the left-hand side. The vellum is adhered to the background under the leaves and pot.
  • I adhered the pot, stand, and leaves to the card front, using foam adhesive on some of the leaves for dimension.
