Large Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Spellbinders December 2021 Clear Stamp + Die of the Month Club

Hello crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a Valentine’s Day card created with the Spellbinders December 2021 Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club – “Color Outside the Lines.” The letters also spell “Hello.” Read more about this club here.

I die-cut the Large Die of the Month diamond-shaped strips from Snowdrift and Brushed Gold cardstock.
I dry-embossed the red cardstock base with the Sun Rays folder.
I stamped the Clear Stamp & Die of the Month Club sentiment letters in black ink, cut them with their coordinating dies, and colored the flowers with Copic markers.
I adhered the assembled strips to the dry-embossed base. I started with the center strip and worked up and down from there for a total of seven strips.
I die-cut a vellum circle to which I adhered the letters. I adhered the circle assembly to the card with glue behind the letters.

Spellbinders November 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing CAS slimline holiday cards created with the Spellbinders November 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Kathy Clement. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created quick-to-make cards with this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Christmas Foliage Strip & Borders.” I previously shared a card created with the same 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, November 21st, 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 first card, I die-cut the floral portion of the Large Die of the Month set three times and adhered the borders to a slimline card base from the same cardstock. I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas Sentiments sentiment in gold on a darker red cardstock. I die-cut the sentiment with a circle die and added an ornament holder (cut with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope set).

On the second card, I combined dies in the Large Die of the Month set to cut Snowdrift cardstock. I die-cut a piece of Brushed Gold to back the detailed open area. I die-cut navy cardstock with another die in the set and added that piece to the top. I added the assembly to a Brushed Silver card base. I decorated the card with Santa and reindeer and a sentiment, cut with dies in the Silent Night set, adding a small Gold Gem to the nose of the lead reindeer.

Spellbinders November 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy November! I’m delighted to share a slimline holiday card created with the Spellbinders November 2021 Large Die of the Month “Christmas Foliage Strip & Borders.” This jam-packed set includes 13 dies with which to create elegant and distinctive slimline cards. (Find out more about this set here.) The border dies in the set mix-and-match; I have paired three on my card, which I crafted from traditional Christmas colors.

With one of the Large Die of the Month border dies, I cut the top piece from red cardstock, trimmed to 8 1/2 inches long, and heat-embossed the Christmas Time Sentiments sentiment.
I die-cut the center section from Brushed Gold cardstock and adhered it to the red cardstock.
I die-cut the floral border (Noble Fir cardstock) and additional elements.
I adhered the elements to the floral border before adding the assembly to the red and gold piece.
I added the entire assembly to an off-white, slimline-sized cardstock base.

There are a number of possible variations with these dies! While I chose traditional Christmas colors, I am envisioning another version in a palette of white and silver, for example. Additionally, the borders can be run vertically for an entirely different look.
