Spellbinders June Club Kits – Another Look

Hello!  Today I am sharing two friendship cards created with the June Small Die of the Month and Large Die of the Month sets from Spellbinders. I previously shared a card featuring the Small Die of the Month here and a card featuring the Large Die of the Month here.

On the first card I used dies from both of the sets on the floral frame. I attached the assembled flowers and foliage to the frame, which is included in the Large Die set. The frame surrounds a large stamped sentiment (from a now-retired set from Simon Says Stamp).

On the second card I used dies from the Small Die of the Month exclusively, using two of the three flower shapes in the set. Once the assembled flowers were on the panel, excess stems, foliage, and bloom were trimmed from the side and the bottom. (The large sentiment is from the same now-retired set from Simon Says Stamp.)

Spellbinders – Elegant Twist Collection

Hello! Today, I am sharing two cards created with Spellbinders products from the recently-released Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken.

Spellbinders Elegant Twist Collection

My first card features the Elegant Twist Oval die set.

Spellbinders Elegant Twist Collection

The Elegant Twist Oval die set includes twist oval and outline oval dies, which can be used in many different combinations when nested. This Spellbinders video provides greater detail about the set.

  • I cut a rectangular (3 3/4″ x 5″) panel using a twist die with a plain oval nested inside. In that manner, the outside was not cut, only the inside.
  • I then used the same plain oval die to cut a rectangular panel from light-blue cardstock.
  • I added the light-blue panel behind the darker blue panel.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock, and centered it behind the frame assembly.
  • I added that assembly to the card base and embellished with flowers cut with a die in the Floral Tiara Topper die set. The vellum sprigs were cut with a die in the June Large Die of the Month kit, as were the flower centers.

My second card showcases the Splendid Trilliant die set paired with a sentiment included in the Borders and Sentiments glimmer plate set. I grounded the assembly with an oval from the Oval Coronet die set. (You can see another card created with that set here.)

  • I cut the Splendid Trilliant overlay from white cardstock using the detailed die and outline die in the set.
  • I cut the dark blue piece using just the outline die.
  • I foil-embossed the sentiment on to the dark blue piece. I then adhered the pieces together.
  • Similarly, I cut the overlay using the detailed die and outline die in the Oval Coronet set. I cut a solid panel with just the outline die and adhered those together.
  • I the Splendid Trilliant and Oval Coronet pieces together, adhered the assembly to the card base, and added flowers cut with a die in the Floral Tiara Topper die set.

Father’s Day Card for a Fishing Enthusiast

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS, fishing-themed, Father’s Day card created with dies in the Elizabeth Craft Designs Camping Accessories set.

Father's Day Card for a Fishing Enthusiast

  • I colored soft-finish cardstock with Distress Inks and cut the colored cardstock with the fishing pole and the fish dies in the Camping Accessories set.
  • I stamped the Stampin’ Up sentiment (now-retired Best Catch stamp set) on to a 4 1/4″ square base.
  • For the water, I colored a strip with Distress Ink and stamped it with the My Favorite Things Winter Waves Background stamp in darker ink. I added the strip to the bottom of the card base.
  • The fish was added to the card with foam adhesive.

Along with the fishing-theme, I particularly like the bright colors on the card.

Let’s Get Nautical – Cottage Cutz Die Sets

Ahoy! Today I am sharing a nautical-themed card featuring die sets from Cottage Cutz and one of my favorite color schemes. I have had my eye on these sets for a while now (they were released several years ago).

Let's Get Nautical

  • I cut the Paddles & Rope Net and Crab in colors to coordinate with the Carta Bella patterned paper.
  • I assembled the pieces.
  • I dry-embossed the navy circle with the TE Weathered folder.
  • I stamped the now-retired Stampin’ Up sentiment in navy ink on white cardstock and cut it with a circle die.

Let's Get Nautical

What I like about this card: the nautical theme, the red/white/blue color scheme, and the patterned paper.
