Spellbinders | March 2022 Embossing Folder of the Month
Hello! I’m sharing a CAS mini-slimline card created with the Spellbinders March 2022 Embossing Folder Kit Club “Garden Path.”
I used die-cutting, glimmer-foiling, and dry-embossing on this card – my favorite techniques!
- I applied VersaMark ink on the embossing folder before running it through my die-cutting machine. This method enhances the contrast of the raised area on the background.
- I glimmer-foiled in black a sentiment from the Sentiments for Everyday set on vellum. I backed the vellum with double-sided adhesive and cut it with a die in the mini slimline B set. I added the sentiment strip to the dry-embossed panel and used the largest die in the mini slimline A set to cut it. This way I knew the sentiment strip would be straight.
- I added the dry-embossed panel with the sentiment to a white, textured cardstock card base.
- I die-cut the bunny and flower with dies in the Open House Spring set. You can see additional cards featuring this set here and here. I added the elements to the card base.
Find more Embossing Folder Kit Club inspiration here. The embossing folder, measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches, can be used to make cards in a variety of sizes including slimline, mini-slimline, 5 x 7, and A2.

This set contains six dies with which to create the base layer and details. On my card, I chose a palette of spring colors.
- I die-cut the Large Die of the Month base piece from Snowdrift cardstock.
- With the same set, I die-cut the kaleidoscope flowers and other flowers from Snowdrift and colored cardstock and assembled the pieces with glue.
- I inlaid portions of the base piece with colored cardstock and added floss to the stems.
- I adhered the floral assembly to a slimline-sized light blue card base.
- I glimmer foiled a sentiment in Lavender Petal with the Sentiments for Everyday set and die-cut it with a corresponding die in the set.
