Embossing Folder Kit Club - Right as Rain

Feb 2022 Spellbinders Large Die of the Month

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a friendship/encouragement card created with the Spellbinders February 2022 Large Die of the Month “Typing Class.” I have also used this month’s Embossing Folder Kit Club “Sketched Floral” for the card background. For a cheerful vibe, I selected bright colors.

I die-cut and assembled the typewriter.
I die-cut and assembled the kit’s flowers and foliage.
I die-cut the kit’s sentiment pieces and sized the note in the platen accordingly, which I cut in a paper trimmer.
I glimmer-foiled the Mini Sincere Sentiments in Matte Silver and cut it using a banner die in the same set.
I added the assembled typewriter with foam adhesive to the dry-embossed background, tucking the foliage behind the note.

Hello crafty friends! I’m sharing CAS mini-slimline cards created with the Spellbinders February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Sketched Floral.” I used die-cutting, glimmer-foiling, and dry-embossing on these cards – three of my favorite techniques!

Color white cardstock with Distress Oxide inks. I created versions with both warm and cool tones.
Die-cut inked the panel to mini-slimline size using the largest die in the Precision Layering Mini Slimline A set.
Dry-emboss the panel with the February 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club. Remove the top texture with a sanding block to reveal the pattern in white.
Using a die in the Fluted Classics Circles set, die cut a circle from the panel slightly above the middle.

Create a card base sized 3.5 x 6.5 inches; create a mat for the dry-embossed panel from Onyx cardstock.
Die-cut custom large sentiment with the Simply Perfect Alphabet from Onyx cardstock.
Glimmer-foil sentiment from the Mini Sincere Sentiments on Snowdrift cardstock in black. Trim and position behind the dry-embossed panel, giving room for the larger letters.
Glue Simply Perfect Alphabet letters above glimmer-foiled sentiments.

Spellbinders January 2022 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kelly Taylor. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created gift card holders with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “A Pocket Full of Love.” I previously shared a card created with the same die set here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, January 16, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note: store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

For the gift card holders, I created the same design, varying the colors I used. This unique die set creates a pocket in which to place a note, a photo, a gift card, and more revealed by pulling up the heart.

Create A2-size card bases with the January 2022 Embossing Folder “Spreading Love.” Spellbinders launched the Embossing Folder Club on January 1, and the response has been so overwhelming this Club has sold out. This design may be brought back at a later time (check the “Past Clubs” section). Be sure to sign up for Clubs right away on the first of the month so as to not miss out on any future designs.
Create the pockets – die-cut, score on three sides – and adhere to dry-embossed backgrounds.
Die-cut solid hearts, detailed hearts, detailed pocket covers, and enclosure panel pieces. Assemble.
Glimmer foil the sentiments with the More Sentiments set in silver and cut with a die in the Mini Sincere Sentiments set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Head next to the blog of Sandra Nagel. Scroll for the full blog hop list.
