Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! I’m delighted to share a slimline friendship card created with the Spellbinders August 2021 Large Die of the Month “Hex Kaleidoscope Slimline.” Find out more about this set here.

I combined the Large Die of the Month set with this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Hex Tile Stamps.” To celebrate a new month, I chose a color palette of yellow and shades of orange.

I created a card base from Onyx cardstock.
I cut a frame from Snowdrift cardstock using the two large dies in the set. I used one of the kaleidoscope hex shapes to cut out the center hex (to frame the sentiment).
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in white on to dark orange cardstock and trimmed the piece to fit behind the center open hex.
I backed the open frame with dark orange cardstock. I used the detail frame to cut yellow cardstock and inlaid those tiles into the frame.
To create the kaleidoscopes, I die-cut the top from Snowdrift cardstock, the next layer from light orange cardstock, and the bottom layer from the same dark orange cardstock. I fussy-cut hex shapes from Onyx cardstock and glued the kaleidoscopes.
Once the frame was added to a mat and the card base, I embellished with small blooms cut with a die in the Special Delivery set.

Spellbinders August 2021 Clear Stamp Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy August (this year is zipping by)! I’m delighted to share a card created with the Spellbinders August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month Club “Hex Tile Stamps.” The stamp set is designed to work with the August Glimmer Hot Foil, Small Die, and Large Die Club Kits. Find out more about the set here.

With the August 2021 Clear Stamp of the Month Club set, I created an A2-size, friendship card by stamping multi-step florals as “one layer” (in the upper-left and bottom-right corners), to which I added additional stamped blooms (which were fussy-cut after they were stamped).

I embellished the card with small, white blooms cut with a die in the Special Delivery set, to which I added Crystal Mix Color Gems.

Spellbinders – Christmas Collection – Be Merry

Hello! Today, I am sharing an A2-sized Christmas card showcasing products from the just-released Be Merry Collection at Spellbinders.

I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil on to an A2-sized panel of red, velvet-textured cardstock.
I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas sentiment in gold on to navy cardstock.
After masking the sentiment, I stenciled white paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil. Once dry, I cut the sentiment with a 3 inch circle die.
I die-cut the snowy hills from glitter cardstock with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set and cut them with the 3 inch circle die. I adhered the snow banks to the navy circle.
I die-cut the Chill Bear from Snowdrift cardstock and gold foil.
I die-cut the ornament top from gold foil with a die in the Circle Kaleidoscope Slimline die set. The ornament string was cut with a die in a previously-released Spellbinders Christmas die set.
I added the ornament and bear to the red background.

Spellbinders – ‘Tis the Season

Fa la la! Today I am sharing a slimline Christmas card featuring products from the just-released ‘Tis the Season Collection at Spellbinders. With this card, the Gifts of Christmas sentiment was the starting point – “Christmas Is Better When We Are Together.” I figured I needed several vehicles headed in the same direction to be together for the holidays!

I glimmer-foiled the Gifts of Christmas sentiment in silver on to a black cardstock panel.
After masking the sentiment, I stenciled silver paste through the Layered Christmas Tree stencil.
I die-cut the snowy hills from glitter cardstock with the dies in the Color Block Scenic Scape set. Once the background was dry, the snow banks were added.
I die-cut the vehicles with the Special Delivery die set; they were assembled with the inlay technique.
I added trees to the top of two of the vehicles created with the Bottle Brush Trees set and packages to the center car using the Shopping Spree set.

Spellbinders Christmas 2021 – Open House Collection – Part Two

Hello! I am back sharing another Christmas card created with the just-released Open House Collection at Spellbinders. My first post with this release can be found here. (That post features the card shown on the right in the photo below.) Today, I am featuring the card shown on the left in the photo below.

For this card, I created an opening door to reveal a girl with a stack of packages.

I die-cut the door and side panels with the Open Door Base and Side Panel die sets from gray and Snowdrift cardstock. For the window panes, I die cut gold foil. I used two shades of red to make the welcome mat. Gray and red are a favorite winter color combination of mine.

To create the opening for the operable door, I cut the door out of an A2-size panel of patterned paper, backed with cardstock. The cardstock was adhered only on the edges (I will explain why in the next step).

I adhered the assembled exterior door to a hinge and backed it with another door (cut from the same patterned paper as the front, but not decorated with windows). I slipped the hinge between the patterned paper front and the cardstock adding glue to hold it.
