Spellbinders June Small Die Kit Club – Christmas Card

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Christmas card created with the Spellbinders Small Die of the Month die set “Kaleidoscope Trio” (June 2019). This card was just a happy accident; I didn’t set out to make a Christmas card! My first round of cards created with this die set can be found in this post.

For the back layer, I cut white cardstock with the die set’s hexagon bottom die.
I used one of the detailed hexagon dies to cut the top layer from Lawn Fawn Peacock, Stampin’ Up Melon Mambo, and Gina K Tranquil Teal cardstock.
I used spray adhesive to adhere the top layers to the back layers. I then taped the hexagons together on the back.
I stamped the All Year Long sentiment on to a Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass panel with FSJ Fusion ink.
I attached the “snowflake” assembly to the card base with spray adhesive.
I added sequins for sparkle and to help fill in the white space.

Spellbinders/FSJ Hello Summer

Hello! Today I’m delighted to be sharing three cards over on the Spellbinders blog featuring new summer-themed products, part of the Hello Summer – Splash Zone Collection. I’m a big fan of anything ocean-themed and fascinated the different takes on that theme in papercrafting – nautical, tropical, and everything in-between.

The details on how I created the cards can be found in this post. I hope you’ll head on over to learn more and leave a comment. Below, I’ve shared photos of the projects and the supply list.

Spellbinders/FSJ Summer Die-cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a die-cut summer scene in which I have combined a number of Spellbinders/Fun Stampers Journey die sets. Knowing what you know about me – I love summer colors like red, white, and blue, and I love to die cut! I was inspired by my recent move to create a “Home Sweet Home” card.

I rotated the window in the Window View die set and added the ledge piece below as a window box. In the background I dry-embossed the Banana Cream cardstock with the Bright Days embossing folder. In the foreground I added a fence cut with the Garden Fence die. To accommodate the window and the fence, I made the card 4 1/2″ tall by 5 1/2″ wide.

I used the A Little Birdie set to cut the small flowers and the green stems. I added a bigger spray of green with the Bloom Cluster die. The larger flower was cut with the Daisy die set. The butterfly is included in the Spring Flutter set.

I printed the computer-generated sentiment on Pineapple Smoothie cardstock.

Spellbinders – Tulip Flower Frame

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS Thank You card created with the Tulip Flower Frame Card Creator die set designed by Maria Job for Spellbinders. I previously shared cards created with the set in this post.

I specifically wanted to use patterned paper on the card base as this particular “cover plate” die has an ample amount of open space. Once I cut the frame and placed it over the patterned paper, I decided that some of the tulips in the frame should be filled in, which I did with the inlay method.

I heat-embossed a sentiment from the Everyday Script set and cut it with its coordinating die. I cut circles from both red and cream cardstock, which I adhered to the card center. I adhered the sentiment to the circles with foam adhesive.

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.

There are lots of options with these dies! Thanks for dropping by!
