Small Die of the Month - Right as Rain

Fishing-Themed See You Soon Card

Hello! The Fairways & Fish Tales die kit at Spellbinders is packed with both fishing and golf-themed elements, making it a fantastic choice for creating masculine and outdoor-inspired cards. My card showcases the fishing side of this set. With die-cut figures of two men fishing on a dock and a dry-embossed background for texture, this card captures the peacefulness of a day by the water. Whether you are already receiving the Small Die of the Month kit or are considering subscribing this month, I hope this project inspires you to explore all the creative possibilities it offers!

- Create an A2-size card base from Indigo cardstock.
- With the All Wrapped Up folder, dry-emboss a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ panel of Windy cardstock.
- Cut patterned paper with the water line die in the Fairways & Fish Tales set. Trim and add to the dry-embossed panel and attach assembly to card base.
- With dies in the Fairways & Fish Tales set, cut pieces for the two men, fishing rods, and accessories. Assemble and add to the card background.
- Stamp the Message Strips sentiment with Cobalt ink on Alabaster cardstock and cut with the banner die included in the Message Strips set.

Elegant Dragonfly Card in Teal and Gold

Hello! With this month’s Small Die of the Month kit at Spellbinders, I created a greeting that features the dragonfly as the centerpiece. Using a palette of gold and shades of teal, I combined delicate die-cut details with vibrant colors. Switch the sentiment and/or colors to send a card for a different occasion.

- Create an A-2 size card base.
- Cut shades of teal, textured white, and gold textured cardstock with the dies in the set. Assemble the dragonfly and flower clusters. I added black gems for the eyes.
- Use the Fresh Picked Sentiments die to cut both gold textured cardstock and foam. Adhere together. The Small Die of the Month set includes a sentiment, which I did not use.
- Use dies in this month’s Large Die of the Month set to cut butterflies as embellishment.
- Add sentiment, dragonfly, floral clusters, and butterflies to the prepared card base.

Party Time Cake Birthday Card

Hello! For this colorful birthday card, I played with the fun and festive Party Time Cake set, the bonus item this month for the Deluxe Caboodle Value Club Membership at Spellbinders. Using the cake die multiple times, I created a lineup of cakes in various colors, with a die-cut banner and cheerful balloons, created with dies in the Small Die of the Month set, to add to the celebratory feel. The design highlights repetition as a technique, making each cake both a focal point and part of a fun, cohesive look.

You can view a video describing the bonus item HERE. Learn more about repetition in card design in THIS POST.
