Spellbinders | March 2023 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello! I am delighted to be participating in a blog hop celebrating the Spellbinders March 2023 Club Subscriptions. You should have reached me from the blog of Daniel West. (The entire list of participants is included at the end of my post.) For the hop, I created a card showing a different way to use the March 2023 Large Die of the Month. As designed, the set creates a three-dimensional card, which I showed here.

  • Apply reinkers and watercolor marker ink to watercolor paper. Once dry, cut tree base, flowers, and leaves from the watercolor paper using dies in the Large Die of the Month set.
  • Adhere leaves and flowers to tree. Cut flower centers from Snowdrift cardstock and adhere. Trim tab from bottom of the tree (the tab is needed for the 3D application of the die set).
  • Using watercolor paper to which Mowed Lawn reinker has been applied, cut hill with die in the Color Block Scenic Scape set. For background, apply Tumbled Glass ink to Snowdrift cardstock. Trim and add to card base. Add hill to background and trim as needed.
  • Add tree to scene with foam adhesive. Cut bird from watercolored paper using dies in the Sweet Birds on a Branch set. Assemble and add to tree with foam adhesive.
  • Stamp sentiment with stamp in Seasonal Motif set. Cut with die in the A Cut Above the Rest Sentiments Stamp & Die Set. Add to card below the tree.

Spellbinders | March 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit

Hello! I am sharing four cards created with the Spellbinders March 2023 Quick & Easy Card Kit of the Month. The “Bee Yourself” kit includes 6×6 patterned paper, die cut shapes, sticker sentiments, embellishments, card bases, sequins, and more!

Add visual interest with the background patterned paper by cutting it with dies in the Essential Rectangles set. The dot pattern adds a delicate border that suits the card theme.

Use the sequins included in the kit for a shaker card. With a die in the Essential Arches set, cut an arch from patterned paper and again from two layers of glitter foam. Sandwich the assembly with a sheet of acetate between the patterned paper on the front and the foam. Back the assembly, after adding the sequins, with patterned paper and a card base. Affix elements to acetate and the card front.

Spellbinders | March 2023 Large Die of the Month

Hello and happy March! I feel a sense of relief when we get to March, as in spring is on its way. Today, I am sharing a three-dimensional birthday card (that collapses for mailing) created with the Spellbinders March 2023 Large Die of the Month “Flowering Tree” set. While I have shown a 3D card, the set can just as easily be used for a 2D card showcasing the beautiful tree.
