Large Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Spellbinders October 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share two holiday cards created with the Spellbinders October 2021 Large Die of the Month “Santa’s Fireplace.” This jam-packed set includes dies to create the fireplace, add Santa and/or a fire, as well as accessorize with a wreath, stockings, and/or candlesticks. There are a variety of sentiments that can be included as part of the fireplace hearth. Find out more about this set here.

On both cards, I created card backgrounds with patterned paper in the Christmas Traditions pad.
I dry-embossed the firebox area with the Striped Slimline folder.
I die-cut the Large Die of the Month pieces from a variety of cardstocks including red and white flocked paper, textured white, brushed silver, silver foil, black foil, woodgrain, and green glitter.
On the first card, I used the knock out of the sentiment hearth die to personalize the stockings.

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.

Another Take with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Here in the Pacific Northwest we are having warm, summer-like weather (highly unusual and it will be back to cooler temps tomorrow!). Today, I’m sharing a colorful A2-sized card created with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die of the Month “Color Block Circles & Stripes” and Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Circle of Sunshine.” I shared two slimline cards with these products in this post.

For the background, I applied Distress Oxide ink through the Sun Burst Stencil. I then applied Moonstone Glimmer Paste.
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment and cut it with the circle die in the Large Die of the Month set.
I cut the loops from both orange and silver cardstock.
I created the circles from rainbow colors of cardstock.
