Spellbinders Kaleidoscope Trio – June Small Die of the Month Kit

Hello and happy June! Today, I am sharing three CAS projects created with this month’s Spellbinders Small Die of the Month die set “Kaleidoscope Trio” ($12.50 with US shipping included in the cost!). The set includes eleven dies with which to create layered shapes. Let’s take a look!

For my first project, I used the fan-shaped layering dies to create an A2-sized “Good Luck” card.

  • I die-cut the fan-shaped layers from cardstock in black (back layer), dark teal, brushed gold, and teal (top layer).
  • I assembled the layers with spray adhesive.
  • I heat-embossed the sentiment in gold and cut the cardstock with a circle die.
  • I attached the fan pieces to the card background, adhering the sentiment on top.

On my second card, measuring 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ square, I used the circle dies.

  • I cut the circles from cardstock in green (back layer), blue, and turquoise (top layer). I also used a circle die to cut a white cardstock circle for the base. (Otherwise the row of assembled circles in the background would be visible through the circles in the front).
  • I assembled the layers with spray adhesive.
  • I attached the rings together.
  • I added a white heat-embossed sentiment which I “framed” with a white circle and attached the two to the center of the “kaleidoscope.”
  • I added the assembly to the card background.

On my last card, I used the hexagon dies.

  • I cut the hexagon shapes from cardstock in white (back layer), turquoise, and orange (top layer).
  • I assembled the layers with spray adhesive.
  • I attached the hexagons together with tape on the back.
  • I added the assembly to the kraft card base.
  • I added a heat-embossed sentiment to the top of the hexagons.

Enjoy the Ride – Spellbinders May 2019 Small Die of the Month

Hello! Happy May! Today, I am sharing two CAS projects created with this month’s Small Die of the Month die set “Enjoy the Ride” from Spellbinders.

For my first card, I created a sky/road scene with a pink scooter using letters in the set for the “Ciao” sentiment and balloons (die in the set) tied to the back of the scooter.

  • I dry-embossed the roadway piece (gray cardstock) with the Beach Towel Embossing Folder.
  • I cut the “Ciao” sentiment from white cardstock and adhered it to the roadway with liquid adhesive using the dry-embossing lines as a guide for the letters.
  • I cut the scooter out and assembled it with liquid adhesive and tape.
  • I added embroidery floss to the balloons, cut from several shades of pink, and attached them to the sky background with dot and foam adhesive. I taped the strings to the sky background making sure that they would be covered by the back of the scooter. I attached the scooter to the scene with dot adhesive.

I love using color and repetition on card designs, so for my second project, which measures 6 1/2″ x 3 3/4″, I created three scooters in bright colors.

  • I created the Go sentiments on my computer and printed them on white cardstock.
  • I cut and assembled the scooters from brightly colored cardstock.
  • I added a strip of washi paper to the right side of the card base to emphasize the road/transportation theme.
  • I adhered the scooters to the scene with dot adhesive.
