Spellbinders October 2020 Small Die of the Month

Hello! Today, I am sharing two fall-themed cards created with this month’s Small Die of the Month kit at Spellbinders – “Fall Leaves Card Creator.”

On the first card, (A2-size, off-white, linen-textured base), I used the Small Die of the Month set to create a rectangular frame of Brush Gold. The set contains a corner piece and a joiner piece, which can be added to form either a rectangle (as shown) or 5 1/2″ square (if the joiner piece is used on all sides).

I cut foliage from Bristol board, to which I had applied fall colors, and glued the pieces to the frame.
I cut the sentiment from Brush Gold and placed it in the center of the frame.

My second card, a 4 1/4″ square, uses the set’s corner pieces.

I cut the Small Die of the Month corner pieces from Bristol board and applied ink to the pieces starting in the corner with the darkest ink.
I added the assembled frame to a 4″ square on which I had glimmer foiled a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments II set in Gold.
The card base was created with wood-textured card stock.

Spellbinders Happy Fall

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, square, fall-themed, friendship card featuring Spellbinders supplies.

I cut the basket and apples with the Happy Fall die set. The apples were cut from white cardstock, which I colored with Distress Inks. The basket was cut from tan-colored cardstock to which I added Distress Ink.
I glimmer foiled the Everyday Sentiments II sentiment on light blue cardstock in Gold.
I cut the foiled panel with the die in the Essential Squares set.
I assembled the basket and apples, adding the assembly to the sentiment square.
I added a leaf cut with the Fall Leaves set, to which I added Distress Ink, and additional apples to the sides of the basket.
The 4 1/4″ square card base is covered with linen-textured cardstock and patterned paper.

Supplies:

Penny Black Harvest Breeze

Hello! Today I am sharing a Copic-colored, fall-themed card created with Penny Black supplies from the new Autumn Extraordinaire release.

I stamped and Copic-colored the hedgehog and foliage images using the 30-722 Harvest Breeze set.
I cut the images with the 51-682 Harvest Breeze Cut Out dies.
I cut the stamped sentiment using a die in the 51-007 Tagged set.
I colored Bristol board with a combination of Distress Inks which I cut with a circle die three times.
I added the circles to the card base and added the images with dot adhesive and foam adhesive.

Copic colors – Fur: E53, E55, E57, E59; Body: E30, R20; Acorn: E37, E99

What I like about this card: I especially like the hedgehog images; I’m thrilled that Penny Black is making more coordinating die sets for their images. I’m also drawn to the colors of fall, and it was fun incorporating the colors into the coloring and the ink choices for the circles.

On both cards, I combined the Small Die of the Month kit’s floral frame and floral elements with a die-cut Joy sentiment on a patterned paper background.

The letters were added with foam adhesive.
I scattered a variety of sequins on to the card once everything was assembled.

On the second card, I cut the frame and letters from Whip Cream cardstock and added red velvet floral elements to the stems and around the frame.
