Glimmer Foil - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | March 2022 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders March 2022 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jill Hilliard. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a spring-themed card with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Kaleidoscope Floral Slimline” and a tag with the Embossing Folder Kit Club “Garden Path.”

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, March 13, 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.

I die-cut the flowers with both of the petal flower dies in the Large Die of the Month kit from five different colored cardstock colors.
To save time, I die-cut the floral centers from Snowdrift cardstock using the Kaleidoscope Argyle set, which has a die that cuts 15 circles at once.
I glimmer-foiled in Matte Gold on an A2-size Snowdrift card base a sentiment from the Sentiments for Everyday set.
I assembled the flowers and then glued them on to the card base.

I couldn’t resist using the sweet Open House Spring bunny on a tag dry-embossed with the Embossing Folder Die of the Month.

With the Embossing Folder Die of the Month, I dry-embossed a tag created with the Heart to Heart Tag die set.
I glimmer-foiled in Matte Silver on Snowdrift cardstock a sentiment in the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments set.
I die-cut the bunny from a variety of cardstock colors using the Open House Spring set.
I die-cut a hill from green cardstock with a die in the Color Block Scenic Scape set.
I assembled the tag and added twine. This would be fun on an Easter basket.

One of the great advantages to the blog hop is to see all the ways that the kit products can be used. I hope you are inspired! Head next to the blog of Becca Feeken. Scroll for the full blog hop list.
