Spellbinders | January 2023 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders January 2023 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Jennifer Kotas. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created two cards featuring products included in the January 2023 Large Die of the Month, the Happy Plant die set, and the Quick & Easy Card Kit.

Please note: the Large Die, Stitching Die, and 3D Embossing Folder of the Month Clubs are sold out. Be sure to join in February so you won’t miss out on the new designs.

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, January 22, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. 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 floral friendship card showcases blooms created with the Large Die of the Month set planted in a pot cut from Brushed Gold with a die in the Happy Plant die set. I glimmer-foiled a sentiment in Gold using a plate in the Inside Card Glimmer Sentiments set. The Glacier background was dry-embossed with the Intertwined Lattice folder. I added Gold Mix Gems for embellishment.

To play on the plant theme of the Quick & Easy Card Kit, I created a greenhouse (draw freehand or create with a drawing program). I cut the greenhouse and adhered it to a textured white card base. I added the elements to the scene using foam adhesive for extra dimension for some of the elements. I added a sentiment and enamel dots included in the kit.

Looking for more inspiration? I previously used the Large Die of the Month here, the Quick & Easy Card Kit here, and the Happy Plant die set here.

Spellbinders | December 2022 Large Die + Embossing Folder – Another Take

Hello! Today, I am sharing another Valentine’s Day/love-themed card created with the Spellbinders December 2022 Large Die “Blooming Heart” and Embossing Folder “Heart Blooms.” I previously shared a card here created with these two items. This design was inspired by the “I Love Lucy” heart, even though it does not look like it!

I created a 5 1/4 inch square card base from Brushed Gold cardstock. I dry-embossed a pearl finish white cardstock with the Embossing Folder, trimmed it, and added it to the base.
I cut the Large Die heart from dark red cardstock and the left floral element from gold glitter foam and Brushed Gold cardstock. The Brushed Gold cardstock nicely shows the die detail. I adhered the Brushed Gold element to the glitter foam piece for depth.
I cut the sentiment from the pearl finish white cardstock.
I added the floral piece and sentiment to the heart, added the heart to the background, and embellished with Gold Mix Gems.
