Slimline - Right as Rain

Spellbinders July 2021 Large Die Kit Club + Star Spangled Savings

Hello crafty friends! Happy July! I’m delighted to share a mini slimline birthday card created with the Spellbinders July 2021 Large Die of the Month “Mini Slimline Envelope and Nested Card Creator.” With this 16-die set you can create a mini slimline card, as well as an envelope for that card size. I couldn’t help using red, white, and blue (solid cardstock and patterned paper) to create my July birthday card.

Scroll to the end of the post for info on a big sales event at Spellbinders – I spy some great die sets at 40% off!

The Large Die of the Month set includes all of the dies to create a number of layers (with details such as dots and scallops), as well as floral embellishments.

If you’re in the US – Happy Fourth of July!

Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy June (this year is zipping by)! I’m delighted to share two slimline projects created with the Spellbinders June 2021 Large Die of the Month “Color Block Circles & Stripes” and Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Circle of Sunshine.”

For the first project, I created a colorful, geometric-art card with the die and stamp sets.

I used the long strips die in the Large Die of the Month set to cut strips in colorful colors from all three widths – 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 3/4 inch. The strips are 8 1/2 inches long.
I arranged the strips at a 45-degree angle on a slimline card base.
I cut the circle pieces from the same four colors as the strips and from Snowdrift. I cut the curves from Snowdrift cardstock.
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in red.

For the second project, I created a sunshine-themed card.

I used the Large Die of the Month strips die in the set to cut 1/4 inch strips from cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide inks ranging from dark orange to yellow.
I stamped the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment on to cardstock to which I had applied Distress Oxide ink and cut it with the circle in the set. I backed it with a 2-inch circle cut from vellum.
For the background, I applied Distress Oxide ink through the Sun Burst Stencil. I then applied Moonstone Glimmer Paste.
Once dry, I added the five horizontal strips and the sentiment circles to the stenciled background.

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.
