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.”

Spellbinders April 2021 Large Die Kit Club

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.

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.

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.

Spellbinders Glimmer Foil - Skinny Stripe Background + Yana's Tiny Sentiments

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.)

Spellbinders Glimmer Foil - Skinny Stripe Background + Yana's Tiny Sentiments

  • 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.

Spellbinders Glimmer Foil - Skinny Stripe Background + Yana's Tiny Sentiments

  • I glimmer-foiled two of Yana’s Tiny Sentiments in Silver on colored cardstock and cut them with the sets 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.

Hello Peeps! Happy March! I’m delighted to share two projects created with the Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die of the Month“Spring Together with Lever Pull.” With this 24-piece set, you can create a variety of interactive spring- and Easter-themed cards.

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club

On both cards, my starting point was the background paper. Next, I die-cut and assembled the peeps from textured and smooth cardstock in colors that would stand out against the background colors.

The 4  1/4″ card use dies in the set to make two of the peeps interactive.

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club

After die-cutting and assembling the bunnies, and the mechanism for movement, I foiled a sentiment from the Mini Everyday Sentiments set in Silver on green cardstock and cut it with the grass die. I attached the grass at the bottom of the card, below the pull.

To embellish, I added a flower cut with dies in the  Large Die of the Month.

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club

The A2-size card uses dies in the set to make three peeps interactive.

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club
After cutting and assembling the bunny, lamp, and chick, and the mechanism for movement, I die-cut the sentiment from the  Large Die of the Month set (twice for dimension) and glued it to the grass layer. The bottom of the grass die does not cut, making it possible to make the grass as short or tall as desired.

I added clouds, included in the set, to the card base.

Spellbinders March 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Of course, you don’t have to use the set to make interactive cards and can instead simply use the critters, sentiments, clouds, and flower to create a spring- or Easter-themed card! Be sure to visit the product page to see more inspiration.

  • I used a die in the Holiday Sentiments Series 2 set to cut the strips of colored cardstock. I taped the pieces together on the back and die-cut the numbers.
  • I paired the numbers with the die-cut “Happy” from the Large Die of the Month set and a glimmer-foiled sentiment from the More Sentiments set.
  • I added the elements to a background dry-embossed with the Stargazer folder.
