Spellbinders Large Die June 2020 – Geometrical Floral Frames
Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS friendship card created with the June Large Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Geometrical Floral Frames.” (Edited: This die set is no longer available.)
On my card, I used one of the frames in the set along with the flowers and foliage.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment on deep blue cardstock.
- I cut the frame from gold foil.
- I cut the greenery from SU Cucumber Crush (now retired) and vellum. I cut the flowers from yellow, red, and white, and their centers from gold foil.
- I glued the foliage and flowers to the frame. I used flowers to cover the junction points for the foliage.
- I glued the frame to the card base.
- I added flat sequins in several sizes to the card to fill in the “white space.”

Spellbinders June 2020 Small Die – Handing You a Smile
Hello and Happy June! Today I am sharing a CAS friendship card created with the June Small Die of the Month kit from Spellbinders – “Handing You a Smile.”
On my card, I used two of the three flower shapes in the set. I repeated the poppy-like floral in yellow and red and added the other flower in a warm orange, which I envisioned as a poppy from a different perspective (as in looking directly into the center).
- I heat-embossed the sentiment on SU Island Indigo cardstock (now retired).
- I cut the flowers from TE Lemon Meringue, SU Tangerine Tango (now retired), and SU Poppy Parade. The poppies in yellow and red consist of four die-cut pieces; I really like the detail the dies provide.
- I added the flower centers cut from Whip Cream cardstock. The set includes several options for the centers. Since I was depicting the same flower, I used the same center.
- I cut the stems and leaf from SU Cucumber Crush (now retired).
- I cut the hand and the hand base and adhered them together.
- I added the flowers to the card base positioning the flowers in the hand.

- To create my CAS card, I used two of the dies in the May Small Die of the Month set to cut detailed borders. The dies can be lined up together and cut simultaneously in a variety of combinations. I cut the borders from three different cardstock colors.
- I lined the backs of the die-cut borders with Whip Cream cardstock.
- I heat-embossed the sentiment in silver on to Whip Cream cardstock.
- I added the Butterfly Frame die-cut, cut three times for additional dimension, to the top of the card as a focal point.
- I assembled the card by adhering the panels on to a card base, starting with the bottom layer first.
- At the point where the white panel meets the pink detailed border, I added a thin strip of Whip Cream cardstock.
Looking for more inspiration with the Stacked Decorative Edges? I shared two CAS cards using the May Small Die of the Month kit in this post.
