Spellbinders | May 2023 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Welcome to my blog! I am sharing a birthday card with the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month Club set “Balloons and Birthday Wishes” as part of a blog hop showcasing the May 2023 Club Subscriptions. The list of participants is included at the end of my post.

Spellbinders is giving away a $25 gift certificate to three lucky blog readers – selected from the comments on the Spellbinders blog. Giveaway closes on Sunday, May 21, 11:59 pm MST. The winner will be announced in the blog hop post the following Wednesday. The winner is responsible for shipping cost, duties and taxes. Please note, store credit (gift certificate) cannot be applied to Club Subscriptions; store credit can be applied to shop past Club products, Club extras, and regular releases.

With its versatile designs, including a banner with flowers and a variety of sayings, this set makes it easy to create stunning and personalized cards for any occasion. In my recent project, I used a beautiful navy blue, floral, patterned paper for the card base background and added a pink banner with white lettering to convey the birthday message. To add a touch of elegance and charm, I also included pink and white flowers and a bird as embellishments. This handmade card is not only beautiful, but also thoughtful and unique, making it a perfect gift for your loved ones on their special day.

Spellbinders | April 2023 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy April! Today, I am sharing a “Hello” card created with the Spellbinders April 2023 Large Die of the Month “Punch and Pierce Frame and Sentiments” set. Check out more inspiration on this set here.

Create A2-size card base from Waterfall cardstock.
Create frame by cutting with the inner, outer, and detailed “Punch and Pierce Frame and Sentiments” dies from Snowdrift cardstock. Cut backing from soft yellow cardstock with the “Punch and Pierce Frame and Sentiments” inner and outer dies. Glue pieces together. Create back using the outer die to cut coral cardstock.
Dry-emboss back with the Stargazer embossing folder. Add frame to dry-embossed back and add assembly to card base.
Use “Punch and Pierce Frame and Sentiments” dies to cut sentiments from Snowdrift, Teal Topaz, and vellum. Adhere cardstock sentiment to vellum backer. (I die-cut the front sentiment pieces twice for additional thickness.) Add sentiments to card.
Embellish with birds cut using dies in the Sweet Birds on a Branch set. Add to card with foam adhesive.
