Spellbinders - Right as Rain

Spellbinders | Congrats on the New Digs

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship/congratulations card showcasing the paint brush in the All the Tools die set at Spellbinders, part of the Toolbox Essentials Collection. I previously shared a card featuring this die set here.

Image in the background is from the book Create the Space You Deserve: An Artistic Journey to Expressing Yourself Through Your Home by Jill Butler.

- Stamp sentiment from the A Cut Above the Rest set in VersaFine Onyx ink on Sea Glass cardstock.
- Cut paint brush handle, brush, and metal piece (kraft, Snowdrift, and Brushed Silver cardstock); assemble to help with placement of painted stripes.
- With foam brush, apply acrylic paint stripes. (I trimmed foam brushes, purchased in a bulk pack, so that the stripe was the width of the die-cut brush.) Set panel aside to dry. Once dry, trim to A2-size and add to card base.
- Paint Snowdrift cardstock with same colors; once dry, cut the paint portion of the brush and adhere to assembly.
- Add assembled paintbrushes to panel with foam adhesive.

Spellbinders | All the Tools

Hello! Today I am sharing a card showcasing the brand-new All the Tools die set at Spellbinders. There are a number of tools in this set – my card features just a few of them. Change the cardstock colors of the tool handles for a completely different look. The collection works for a number of occasions including Father’s Day, “thanks,” and “congratulations.”

Stamp A Cut Above the Rest sentiment on Sea Glass cardstock; trim panel and add to A2-size card base.
Cut tools from with All the Tools dies from a variety of cardstock colors; assemble.
Add tools to card front with foam adhesive. Embellish with stars cut from Brushed Silver cardstock with dies in the Bottle Brush Trees and Liberty Sunday Drive sets.

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.

Add sequins as an embellishment for visual interest.

With a die in the Essential Ovals set, cut an oval from cardstock included in the kit to ground the focal elements against the patterned paper background.

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.

With the Large Die of the Month set, cut the tree, leaves, and flowers from a variety of cardstock colors. Assemble and set aside. (Note: I used spring colors for the blooms; the colors can easily be changed for the summer season.) Cut sentiment pieces from Snowdrift cardstock.
Using dies in the Large Die of the Month set, cut the base from Waterfall cardstock and assemble.
Cut clouds from Snowdrift cardstock with dies in the On Cloud Nine set. Add for the background to the tree.
Attach tree and sentiment to card base. Embellish with bird cut using the Sweet Birds on a Branch set.

Spellbinders | Lucky Leprechaun

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card with a Saint Patrick’s Day theme showcasing a leprechaun gnome created with the Spellbinders Dancin’ Gnome set.

Create background by cutting hill from green cardstock with the Color Block Scenic Scape die set and attaching to patterned paper; trim. Adhere to A2-size card base.
Cut Dancin’ Gnome pieces from a variety of cardstock colors and patterned paper; assemble. Add to card background.
Stamp sentiment on Snowdrift cardstock and cut with one of the On Cloud Nine dies. Use same set to cut additional clouds. (I used a now-retired Spellbinders stamp set; Many Greetings set has a similar sentiment.) Add clouds to scene.
Embellish scene with flowers and leaves cut using dies in the Spring Birdhouse die set.
