Large Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Spellbinders February 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Happy February! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders February 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Birthday Wishes for Everyone.” With the 14-piece set, you can create cards for a variety of number/date-based occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. I created birthday cards for children with the set.

On the first card, I highlighted the birthday year by placing it on a die-cut circle.

I added the “happy” sentiment, cut from black cardstock, to the patterned card base in a circular fashion.
I added the glimmer-foiled “birthday wishes” across the bottom of the circle.

The second card is created for child turning six who is excited to count to their birthday age (remember those days?!!).

I cut the numbers from different colors and added them to the A2 patterned paper card base.
I cut the “happy” sentiment from white cardstock (same as the “6th”).
I used the negative of the “happy” sentiment when I adhered it to the card.

Spellbinders January 2021 Clubs Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop sharing projects created with the Spellbinders January 2021 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Snyder. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two CAS Valentine’s Day cards using this month’s Large Die of the Month kit “Slimline Kaleidoscope Hearts.” 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 Saturday, January 17th, 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 slimline Valentine’s Day card with an ombré inlaid background.

I cut the Large Die of the Month frame from Whip Cream cardstock and backed it with Pool Play cardstock.
I used the frame die to cut the smaller hearts from pink and three shades of red and inlaid them into the frame.
I cut two kaleidoscope hearts from white cardstock and two shades of red, backing the assembly with a solid heart cut from dark red.
I glimmer-foiled the Heart Melt sentiment in silver on red cardstock and cut it with the Forever Love Hearts set.
I adhered the sentiment heart and kaleidoscope hearts to the frame.

To showcase the versatility of the die set, I created a 4 1/4″ square card in which the background is created in the same manner as above.

I die-cut the frame from white, linen-textured cardstock by cutting a 3 1/4″ square from the center of a 4 1/4″ square.
I created the background in the manner as described for my first card.
I cut the ring and sentiment from white, gold, and glitter cardstock using the Special Celebrations die set. (This post shares other ways to use the Special Celebrations set.)

Spellbinders January 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Happy 2021! I’m delighted to be sharing two projects created with the January 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Slimline Kaleidoscope
Hearts” – at Spellbinders.

My first project is a slimline Valentine’s Day card.

I cut the Large Die of the Month frame from Whip Cream cardstock.
I used the frame to cut the smaller hearts from red paper and inlaid them into the frame. I backed the frame with Brush Gold cardstock.
I cut two kaleidoscope hearts from white cardstock and two shades of red, backing the assembly with a solid heart cut from dark red.
I heat-embossed the Sending My Love sentiment in white on red and cut it with the frame die. (The solid heart of the kaleidoscope is slightly smaller than the large heart of the frame.)
I adhered the sentiment heart and kaleidoscope hearts to the frame.

To illustrate the set’s versatility, I created a gift tag with the kaleidoscope heart for a Valentine’s Day treat.

For the candy wrapper, I glimmer-foiled Scattered Hearts in Gold on Whip Cream cardstock. I scored the rectangular strip to cover the chocolate.
I cut the kaleidoscope heart layers from Whip Cream and Brush Gold cardstock.

I used the Large Die of the Month to cut the tag from Brush Gold cardstock. The left-hand side is not cut through completely, which creates a hinge.
I stamped the Sending My Love sentiment in gold on Whip Cream cardstock and cut it with the solid heart die, adhering it to the inside of the tag.

Spellbinders December 2020 Clear Stamp Club

Hello! Today I am sharing a special friendship card created with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club – “Ballerina Sentiments” – along with the Large Die of the Month kit – “Look Behind the Curtain” – at Spellbinders. (I shared a card using the Large Die of the Month kit here.)

I stamped the row of ballerinas with “Hello” and “Friend” on a Whip Cream cardstock panel.
I Copic-colored the ballerinas before diecutting the top of the panel with the curtain slot.
I cut the curtain pieces from red velvet cardstock and the rods from gold foil.
I added the Whip Cream panel to a Brush Gold card base and added the curtain assembly.
Once everything was in place, I embellished the curtains with gold sequins.

Here’s a view of the card with the curtain panels closed:

Spellbinders December 2020 Small and Large Die Kit Clubs

Hello and happy December! Today, I am sharing cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit (“Daydreaming”) and Large Die of the Month kit (“Look Behind the Curtain”) at Spellbinders.

My first card showcases the Small Die of the Month kit that is packed with dies with which to create window scenes.

I cut the starry panes from dark blue cardstock and again (without the star insert) from light yellow. The set contains three sentiments. I chose the one that best works with the nighttime scene.

I added the cat, the moon, and the potted plants to the scene, as well as gold sequins. I added the window assembly to a patterned paper background.

On the second card, I have combined the Small Die of the Month kit named “Daydreaming” and Large Die of the Month, which contains dies with which to create an operable curtain. I created a daytime scene with the Small Die of the Month kit, using the rectangular window without the arch window.

Here’s the card with the curtains open:

I assembled the scene, which includes two cats and potted plants, and set it aside.
Following the directions for the curtain assembly, I die-cut the curtain pieces from patterned paper and gold foil (finials).
I attached the curtains to a yellow panel which contains the slots for the curtain mechanism.
I then added the window scene.

Here’s what the card looks like with the curtains closed:
