Large Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Spellbinders May 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders May 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Dilay Nacar. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a birthday card using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower” and this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Borders & Sentiments.” I shared other cards created with the kits here and here.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, May 23rd, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. 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.

To create the card, I die-cut the Large Die of the Month border from Snowdrift cardstock six times and stitched the borders with floss in the following colors: pink (DMC 603), red (DMC 349), orange (DMC 741), yellow (DMC 726), blue (DMC 322), and purple (DMC 208).

I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Clear Stamp of the Month Club set. I attached the sentiment to the back of the frame I created from Brushed Silver and Snowdrift cardstock in which I cut openings with the largest die in the Essential Rectangles set and the A2-size die in the Large Die of the Month set. The card is larger than A2-size.

The stitched flowers were adhered to a Waterfall cardstock panel. The frame was added to the front with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die and Clear Stamp Clubs

Hello crafty friends! I’m sharing another card created with the Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower” – with a sentiment from this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club – “Borders & Sentiments.” You can see my first card with these products here.

With the Large Die of the Month set, I die-cut the standalone flower twice and the leaf four times from Snowdrift cardstock .
I used DMC floss to stitch the flowers and leaves in 972 (green), 728 (yellow), and 898 (brown). I glued the ends of the threads to the back of the shapes.
I stamped the sentiment in Rich Cocoa on a Snowdrift cardstock panel and added Tumbled Glass Oxide ink to the center.
I added the sentiment panel to a card base covered with Chocolate Bar cardstock and adhered the leaves and flowers.

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.”

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.

Spellbinders March 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders March 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 spring-themed cards using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Spring Together with Lever Pull.” I shared two other cards created with the kit in this post.

To celebrate this release, Spellbinders is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 3 lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, March 14th, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Tuesday. 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.

My first card is a gift-card holder on which I included an interactive bunny, created with the Large Die of the Month and the Festive Wreaths Slider Card die sets.

I created a tone-on-tone, glimmer-foiled Skinny Stripe Background for the gift card holder front.
I also glimmer-foiled one of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments.
I cut and assembled the bunny and mechanism, using a vellum oval as the background.
The bunny is holding a carrot cut with a die in the Hoppy Sunday Drive set.

While the Large Die of the Month set makes it possible to create interactive cards, it can also be used to create cards without the interactive element, as shown on my next card.

I cut and assembled the six chicks and added them to a vellum circle.
I added the assembly to a patterned paper background.
I foiled a sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiments set, which I added across the chicks with foam adhesive.
I accessorized the card with the egg shell and flowers.

Spellbinders Glimmer Foil – Skinny Stripe Background + Yana’s Tiny Sentiments

Hello! I am delighted to share two cards created with glimmer plates from the recently-released Yana’s Blooming Birthday Glimmer Collection at Spellbinders.

On the first card (shown above on the right), I paired a tone-on-tone Skinny Stripe Background with one of the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments, as well as dies from the March 2021 Large Die of the Month set, to create a spring-themed greeting. (I previously shared cards created with the kit in this post.)

I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Moondust foil on light teal cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments sentiment in Citrine on green cardstock and cut it with the grass die in the Large Die of the Month set and a square die.
I cut a square from vellum and added the grass to the front. I wanted to keep as much of the background visible as possible.
I added the bunny and flowers, cut with the Large Die of the Month set, to the scene.

On the second card, I glimmer-foiled the Skinny Stripe Background with Mini Rainbow Stripe foil on black cardstock.

I glimmer-foiled two of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments in Silver on colored cardstock and cut them with the set’s coordinating die.
I cut cardstock in rainbow colors using the Yana’s Tiny Sentiments die and taped the strips together on the back (including the ones I had glimmer-foiled).
I used a heart die to cut out the rainbow strip panel, which I backed with a larger heart cut from vellum (again, not wanting to color up the background).
To embellish, I added hearts cut with a die in the Sunday Sunset Drive set from silver foil to the center.
