The April Small Die of the Month set is designed to work with the Trucking Through the Seasons set; the dies can also be used on their own. You can see additional cards I created with the kit here.

The balloons were tethered with strings from the Sunday Drive Hitched set.

On the Christmas card, I used the “Happy” ornament overlay and “Holidays” license plate included in the Small Die of the Month set.

I cut two additional ornaments, leaving them plain, and “tied” the three ornaments together with twine.

For the engagement congratulations, I cut a license plate using the Truckin Through the Seasons set and cut the ring and heart balloons using the April Small Die of the Month set. I tied gold twine to the balloons, pulled the twine through the ring, and adhered the ends under the license plate.

To add texture and visual interest, I dry-embossed the background with the Inspire embossing folder.

I used the Festive Wreaths Slider Card to create a gift card slider card, cutting the pieces from patterned paper and solid cardstock. The area revealed easily fits a gift card. I used a Starbucks gift card because that’s one of my favorite gift cards to receive!

Spellbinders March 2020 Small Die of the Month kit

  • I die-cut the bunny, carrot, and flowers with the March Small Die of the Month kit.
  • I used the negative piece of the carrot to trace the carrot shape on to patterned paper which I glued behind the carrot frame.

  • I attached the rabbit and flowers, as well as the carrot tops, to the carrot and then attached the assembled to the slider.
  • I stamped a sentiment on to white cardstock, cut it with a rectangular die, and added that to the top part of the insert.
  • The lower portion accommodates the gift card. I added twine through the hole of the insert with which to pull the insert.
