Hello! Today, I am delighted to share a celebratory card featuring the Spellbinders December Large Die of the Month Club Kit – “Cheers to Us.” The die set includes dies to create a champagne or wine bottle, champagne glasses or wine glasses, and two sentiments.

Spellbinders | Towering Blooms

Happy November! I am delighted to share a “Hello” card featuring this month’s Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club Kit – “Towering Blooms.” This handmade card, crafted with die-cuts and a dry-embossed background, took only minutes to make and works for any number of occasions.

The amaryllis plant is known for its striking and large flowers. As they bloom indoors during the winter, they are a symbol of hope and new beginnings at the holiday season.

- With the Tiny Dots embossing folder, dry-emboss an A2-size panel of Waterfall cardstock. Adhere to card base with debossed side up.
- With the Large Die set, cut amaryllis pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and assemble pieces. Add assembly to card base with dot and foam adhesive.
- Cut sentiment with die in the Small Die set from Brushed Gold and gold glitter foam (for height). Cut foam glitter side down. Adhere pieces and add to card.

Spellbinders | October 2023 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy October! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card crafted with the Spellbinders October Large Die of the Month set – “Christmas Boutique” – slightly modified to make a charming house (rather than a storefront) adorned with Christmas florals. Read on to discover how to create the card. You can also head HERE for a tutorial on how to use the set.

- Glimmer foil blue cardstock in Gold with a sentiment in the Glitter Wishes set. The Large Die of the Month set includes a sentiment die to create the word “Noel.” I decided to use the glimmer-foiled sentiment at the base of the card front and consulted my post Prepping for Christmas Card Making for sentiment options. Trim panel to 5 1/2″ wide by 4 7/8″ tall and add to a card base.
- With a die in the Large Die of the Month set cut the house (boutique) base from green cardstock. Cut again from red cardstock and trim off the foliage on top. Cut floral and house pieces from a variety of cardstock colors. Add Rustic Wilderness ink to green cardstock elements (holly leaves, other leaves, Christmas trees) to differentiate from the green base color. Add enamel dots in red and white to the Christmas trees. Assemble.
- Add assembled house to card front.

Spellbinders | Yay for Autumn

Hello! Today, I am sharing another fall-/Halloween-themed card featuring the Spellbinders September Large Die of the Month set – “Boo-licious Fall Cupcake.” I previously shared a card created with this die set HERE. For this take, I created a background of pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns, cut with dies in the set, and a focal image of a ghost in a witch’s hat.

Dry-emboss a 5″ x 7″ Snowdrift cardstock panel with the It’s My Party Too folder and add to a card base.
With the Large Die of the Month set, cut the pumpkins, gourds, leaves, and acorns from Teal Topaz, Rainforest, Purple Mist, Royal Amethyst, and Persimmon cardstock. Assemble as necessary and add to card base with foam adhesive.
Cut the ghost, witch’s hat, band, and sign from Snowdrift, Onyx, and Rainforest cardstock. Assemble and add to an oval cut with a die in the Essential Stylish Ovals set from vellum. Add foam adhesive to back of assembly and adhere to card front.
Embellish with white dots in the Dimensional Black & White Enamel Dots set.
